Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is defined as a cluster of systemic abnormalities: hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, abdominal obesity, and hypertension. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the devastating complications after cardiac surgery. Age, DM, preexisting renal dysfunction, hypertension, impaired left ventricular function, and severe arteriosclerosis of the aorta are the major risk factors for the development of AKI. The purpose of the current study was to analyze the influence of MetS on AKI occurring after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the prospectively collected data of 500 adult patients who underwent isolated CABG surgery with normal renal function (baseline serum creatinine value <1.4 mg/dL) from January 2011 to January 2015. The patients were divided into two groups either having the diagnosis of MetS (Group I) or not (Group II). MetS was diagnosed based on International Diabetes Federation definition. Kidney injury was interpreted according to RIFLE classification. The effect of MetS on AKI after CABG was determined using logistic regression analysis and the results were expressed as odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). A P value <.05 was considered
statistically significant.
Results: Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed in 16.4% of all patients. Postoperative AKI occurred in 26 patients (31.7%) in Group I whereas there were 53 patients (12.7%) in Group II. On logistic regression analysis, the presence of MetS was shown to be associated with increased incidence of postoperative AKI (OR, 3.197; 95% CI, 1.850-5.526;
P = .000).
Conclusion: The presence of MetS seems to be associated with increased incidence of AKI after cardiac surgery. MetS is a modifiable issue; if its components are well controlled its dreadful effects after cardiac surgery might be controlled as well.
