Serum Phosphate Kinetics in Acute Kidney Injury After Cardiac Surgery: An Observational Study

摘要

Objective: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication after cardiac surgery and may affect prognosis. Serum phosphate (SPh) elevation is well-known to occur after AKI but not well-documented. The aim of the present study was to describe SPh changes during AKI after cardiac surgery and to assess the accuracy for the diagnosis of AKI severity and recovery.
