Impact of the serum albumin level on acute kidney injury after cerebral artery aneurysm clipping.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although hypoalbuminemia is a known risk factor for acute kidney injury (AKI) following surgery, little is known about its effects following aneurysm clipping surgery. We aimed to investigate the predictors of AKI and overall mortality and assessed the relationship between preoperative albumin and postoperative outcomes after aneurysm clipping surgery.

Methods

This study included 2,339 patients who underwent aneurysm clipping surgery. According to the criteria updated by the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO), patients were classified into AKI and no AKI group. Independent AKI predictors were analyzed by multivariate methods, and the influence of AKI on the outcome variables was assessed with by propensity score matching analysis. Survival in relati
