Abbreviations: AKI, acute kidney injury; BMI, body mass index (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared); CABG, coronary artery bypass grafting; CAD, coronary artery disease; CVA, cerebrovascular accident; GFR, glomerular filtration rate; IABP, intra-aortic balloon pump; MDRD, Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention; RBCs, red blood cells; Scr, serum creatinine; STEMI, ST-elevation myocardial infarction.

a

P < .001 for all comparisons between the AKI and no AKI groups. Continuous variables were compared using unpaired, 2-tailed t test; categorical variables, using the χ2 or Fisher exact test.

b

Classification/staging system for AKI is as follows: Stage 1: increase in serum creatinine of more than or equal to 0.3 mg/dL (≥26.4 μmol/L) or increase to more than or equal to 150% to 200% (1.5- to 2-fold) from baseline. Stage 2: increase in serum creatinine to more than 200% to 300% (>2-fold to 3-fold) from baseline. Stage 3: increase in serum creatinine to more than 300% (>3-fold) from baseline (or serum creatinine of more than or equal to 4.0 mg/dL [≥354 μmol/L] with an acute increase of at least 0.5 mg/dL [44 μmol/L]).

c

The MDRD equation is as follows: GFR (mL/min/1.73 m2) = 175 × (Scr)−1.154 × (Age)−0.203 × (0.742 if female) × (1.212 if African American).
