What are the incidence and risk factors for acute renal failure after coronary surgery?
High preoperative serum creatinine, advanced age, and postoperative hemodynamic instability are key predictors of acute renal failure after coronary surgery, a complication associated with high early mortality when dialysis is required.
Andersson et al. (1993) studied this question.
