Validation of acute kidney injury according to the modified KDIGO criteria in infants after cardiac surgery for congenital heart disease

Abstract

Application of the three criteria resulted in different AKI incidences, but each criterion could be useful for detecting risk factors for AKI. Notably, using m-KDIGO criteria provides more important subsequent postoperative outcomes. The m-KDIGO AKI criteria describe clinically relevant AKI in infants after cardiac surgery.
