Close correlation between glomerular filtration rate and renal oxygen consumption in uncomplicated post-cardiac surgery patients (controls, n = 37) and in patients with postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI). Note that the slope of the regression line is steeper in the AKI group. Thus filtration and reabsorbtion of sodium consumes approximately 2.5 times more oxygen in the AKI group.
