The application of the triglyceride-glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) in predicting acute kidney injury in diabetic patients following coronary artery bypass grafting surgery
Cardiac Surgery 3 min.
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is an effective treatment for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) [1]. However, approximately one-third of patients undergoing CABG develop acute kidney injury (AKI) [2]. Clinically, kidney function is primarily assessed using serum creatinine, glomerular...
