The platelet-lymphocyte ratio is a promising predictor of early postoperative acute kidney injury following cardiac surgery: a case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication following cardiac surgery. This study explored the correlation between hematological biomarkers and the occurrence of postoperative AKI following cardiac surgery.

Methods

This was a retrospective case-control, single-center study. This study enrolled 91 patients who underwent cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) support in Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital Zhuhai Hospital between March 2019 and July 2021. The baseline serum creatinine levels of the patients was <132.6 µmol/L. The patients' electronic medical records were retrospectively reviewed. AKI was diagnosed according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) 2012 Acute Kidney Injury Guideline criteria. Patients who sustained
