Preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is evaluated as a risk factor for acute kidney dysfunction after cardiac surgery.
and obesity evaluation was con- sidered according to BMI. Patients were stratified for the analysis into two groups according to estimated eGFR: group 1, eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min; group 2, eGFR < 60 mL/min. This cutoff point was selected considering the National Kidney Foundation definition of chronic kidney disease. Variables described considered as risk factors for AKD, were selected to be tested in the present series of patients. These included age, gender, EuroSCORE, diabetes, prior myocardial infarction, cardiopulmonary by- pass time, aortic cross-clamping time, arterial pressure under on-pump perfusion and aortic cross-clamping time and hematocrit.

Nikolin Filipi (2012) conducted an observational in Cardiac surgery. Estimated preoperative renal function (eGFR < 60 mL/min) vs. eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min was evaluated on Acute Kidney Dysfunction (AKD).
