Early response to furosemide as a kidney injury predictor and peritoneal dialysis in post cardiac surgical patients: a case-controls study

Abstract

Acute kidney injury in post cardiac surgical patients is still considered a high mortality cause in this population. It is most important to identify kidney injury in these patients from the beginning, being a decisive factor for treatment. However, many of the kidney injury classifications are focused on creatinine clearance and serum levels so they are considered late markers for its identification.
