The Relationship Between Preoperative Levels of Ionized Magnesium and Risk of Acute Kidney Injury After Cardiac Surgery

The Relationship Between Preoperative Levels of Ionized Magnesium and Risk of Acute Kidney Injury After Cardiac Surgery

Detection the relationship between preoperative ionized magnesium levels and the risk of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major medical problem that is of particular concern after cardiac surgery. The reported prevalence of cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is up to 30% and is independently associated with an increase of morbidity and mortality .So this study is for measuring preoperative ionized magnesium levels of patients who will undergo cardiac surgeries then measuring postoperative serum creatinine, BUN and urine output to detect if they developed AKI or not and if there is a relationship between the post cardiac surgery AKI and preoperative ionized magnesium levels.

Inclusion Criteria:

2. patients undergoing cardiac surgery between July 2023 and July 2024

Exclusion Criteria:

1. patients with known Kidney disease.
2. patients less than 18 yrs
