TY - JOUR AU - Lanktree, Matthew B. AU - Pei, York PY - 2019 TI - Does elevated urinary Dkkopf-3 level predict vulnerability to kidney injury during cardiac surgery? JF - Annals of Translational Medicine; Vol 7, Supplement 8 (December 31, 2019): Annals of Translational Medicine Y2 - 2019 KW - N2 - Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in approximately one quarter of patients undergoing cardiac surgery and is associated with increased short-term and long-term mortality, as well as prolonged time for mechanical ventilation, intensive care, and hospitalization (1,2). AKI is defined by a sudden decrease in glomerular filtration rate typically with reduced urine output over a time period of hours to days; many patients with AKI also require renal replacement therapy (RRT) including hemodialysis or continuous RRT.
