Figure 2. Frequency of worsening renal function at 24, 48 and 72 hours after admission.
Worsening renal function was defined as increase of serum creatinine by > 0.3 mg/dl above baseline measurement. In the low intensification treatment group, the obese subjects experienced a higher incidence of worsening renal function compared to non-obese. In the high intensification treatment arm, both obese and non-obese subjects had similar incidence of worsening renal function. P-value for BMI x intensification strategy interaction = 0.01.
