Diabetes mellitus does not affect the incidence of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery; a nested case-control study.
CONCLUSIONS: 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.
