What is it about?
This paper retrospectively evaluates the ability of an estimated glomerular filtration rate in the patients who underwent open-heart surgery and developed cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury in those patients. Only those patients were included who had relatively good kidney function as defined by >40mL/min/1.73 m2. Bivariate and multivariate analysis was done to find independent relationships

Why is it important?
This paper will help us in the risk stratification of the patients who are undergoing open-heart surgery
Perspectives
The study shows that absolute creatinine level but not the estimated glomerular filtration rate is an independent predictor of postoperative cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury. Height is also a risk factor.
