Major surgery is the second leading cause of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), with cardiovascular surgery having the highest incidence. This is due to technical conditions like aortic clamping and extracorporeal circulation, which lead to systemic reactions including embolism formation, low cardiac output, prolonged hypotension, and contact-activated systemic inflammation. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of AKI and the need for renal support therapy after cardiovascular surgery.
