Abstract

Abstract : Objective . There are four widely-used formulae to calculate the perioperative glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. We assessed the predictive values of these formulae in the occurrence of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI). Methods . Patients who underwent open-heart valvular surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass from January 2015 to October 2017 were enrolled in this retrospective study. Demographic data and perioperative serum creatinine levels were collected. The estimated GFR (eGFR) was calculated using four formulae: Cockcroft Gault (CG), body surface area (BSA) corrected CG, simplified modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD), and chronic kidney disease-epidemiology collaboration (CKD-EPI) formula. The incidence of post-operative AKI was calculated and the predictive capability of these formulae was evaluated. Results . A total of 290 patients were included. 136 patients (46.90%) developed AKI after surgery. The eGFR in the AKI group was significantly lower than those in the non-AKI group at all investigated time points. In addition, the eGFR in the non-AKI group increased temporarily on the day of operation, then decreased on the following days, and returned to preoperative level about one week after surgery. However, in the AKI group, the eGFR decreased from the day of operation, which still did not recover to the preoperative level by the end of the first week after surgery. The eGFR calculated by the BSA-standardized CG formula had the highest AUC ROC curves of 0.699 and 0.774 before operation and on the day of operation, respectively. While eGFR calculated by CKD-EPI formula had the highest AUC ROC of 0.874 and 0.887 at the first and second postoperative day. Conclusions . The eGFR formula is a powerful tool for perioperative renal function assessment. The BSA-corrected CG and CKD-EPI formula have better performance in predicting postoperative AKI after cardiopulmonary bypass than serum creatinine level and other formulae.
