Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: EF < 35%) (10.99% vs. 4.31%; p<0.001) and with higher pre-operative creatinine (median 90.5mmol/L vs. median 79mmol/L; p<0.001). These observations probably explained the higher incidence of AKI among diabetic patients. Interestingly, mortality rate for diabetics and non-diabetics were comparable in our population (5.8% vs. 6.1%). There was also no significant difference in renal recovery and length of hospital stay. Conclusion: Patients with diabetes were found to be at higher risk of developing AKI after cardiac surgery. However, with appropriate management, the mortality rate, length of hospital stay, and renal recovery were comparable between diabetics and non-diabetics.
