Is Hypoalbuminemia a Predictor for Acute Kidney Injury after Coronary Bypass Grafting in Diabetes Mellitus Patients?

Abstract

We observed that a preoperative low serum albumin level was associated with postoperative AKI development in patients with DM who underwent isolated CABG procedure. We emphasize that this adjustable albumin level should be considered before the operation since it is an easy and clinically implementable management for the prevention of AKI development.
