Incidence of AKI after cardiac surgery is high, but diabetes is not a risk factor for AKI. Baseline renal function in diabetics is related inversely to the incidence of AKI. Age and cardiopulmonary bypass duration are independent predictors of cardiac surgery-associated AKI.

Introduction and Aims: Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery is a common complication associated with increased mortality. However, the heterogeneity of the definitions used for AKI resulted in high variance of incidence rates in relevant literature. Data on the effect of diabetes mellitus on AKI incidence in this setting are scarce and contradictory. The aim of this study is to evaluate in comparison incidence of AKI defined by the AKIN, RIFLE and KDIGO criteria in matched diabetic and non-diabetic patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
