Cardiac surgery related acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) is an important clinical problem. Kidney injury occurs following a cardiopulmonary bypass used during cardiac surgery procedures. The pathomechanisms of acute kidney injury (AKI) is complex and multifactorial. It may involve few injury pathways: ischemia and reperfusion, endogenous toxins, inflammation, metabolic factors and oxidative stress. Biochemical markers of acute kidney injury such as ischemia modified albumin (IMA) or urinary excreted of brush-border enzymes of the proximal renal tubules analysed perioperatively will be assessed in this study. There has been no official recommendations toward routine use of analysed biomarkers.
