Preoperative albumin may aid AKI risk stratification in pediatric cardiac surgery; leaves open whether correction improves outcomes.
Are preoperative serum albumin levels and other perioperative factors associated with acute kidney injury in children undergoing congenital cardiac surgery?
Lower preoperative serum albumin, age <12 months, preoperative pulmonary hypertension, and longer cardiopulmonary bypass duration are independent risk factors for acute kidney injury in children undergoing congenital cardiac surgery.
