Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Incidence or severity of acute kidney injury (AKI) in the first 48 hours after cardiopulmonary pulmonary bypass (CPB) [ Time Frame: From start of CPB through 48 hours after CPB ]
    Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) definitions for AKI


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in maximum plasma free hemoglobin and activated complement from start of CPB through post-surgery day 3 [ Time Frame: From start of CPB through post-surgery day 3 ]
    Blood sample indices of effects from cardiac surgery with CPB

  2. Severity or duration of AKI in the first 7 days after CPB [ Time Frame: From start of CPB through 7 days post-cardiac surgery ]
    KDIGO definitions for AKI
