The mean urinary albumin level was 18.1 mg/mL lower in the SGLT2i group (95% CI [-42.5-6.33]; <i>p</i> = 0.143). There were numerically positive changes in urine output and diuretic efficacy in the SGLT2i group without significant difference: MD 131.4 mL/24 hours (95% CI [-366.7-629.5]; <i>p</i> = 0.600) and MD 11.3 mL/mg (95% CI [-12.2-34.7]; <i>p</i> = 0.301), respectively, although the dosage of diuretics was higher in controls (30.6 ± 43.7 vs. 51.3 ± 130.1 mg/24 hours; <i>p</i> = 0.268, respectively).SGLT2i may have nephroprotective effects in patients undergoing heart surgery with extracorporeal circulation. More evidence is needed to determine whether SGTL2i needs to be discontinued before surgery.</p>","PeriodicalId":23057,"journal":{"name":"Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon","volume":" ","pages":"220-231"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144111994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
