Multidisciplinary renal management appears feasible after open-heart surgery; leaves open whether it improves outcomes versus standard care in prospective trials.
Cohort (n=184)
Patients with renal dysfunction undergoing open-heart surgery face significant postoperative mortality and morbidity, underscoring the importance of multidisciplinary management.
Altun et al. (2021) conducted a cohort in Preoperative kidney disease or postoperative renal failure (n=184). Preoperative or postoperative renal dysfunction was evaluated on Mortality rate. Among patients with end-stage renal failure requiring postoperative renal replacement after open-heart surgery, the mortality rate was 11.34%.
