Elevated renin has been shown to predict poor response to standard vasoactive therapies and is associated with poor outcomes in adults. Similarly, elevated renin was associated with mortality in children with septic shock. Renin concentration profiles after pediatric cardiac surgery are unknown. The purpose of this study was to characterize renin kinetics after pediatric cardiac surgery.
