Shrunken pore syndrome increased the risk of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery: a cohort study

Paper C Not peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

Shrunken pore syndrome is a pattern in blood tests suggesting the kidney's tiny filters are letting through less than they should. This study followed people having heart surgery and found those with the pattern beforehand were more likely to get sudden kidney injury afterwards. It is an observational study, so it shows a link and a possible warning sign, not proof that the pattern causes the injury. This is a data posting rather than a peer-reviewed journal article.
