This article discusses the importance of early detection of acute kidney injury (AKI) after congenital heart surgery. AKI is a common complication of this type of surgery and can lead to increased morbidity and mortality. The study analyzed urine samples from patients undergoing cardiac surgery to identify new diagnostic markers for AKI. The researchers identified several promising biomarkers, including Kallikrein-1 (KLK-1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase-like N (PTPRN). These findings suggest that using these biomarkers may improve the diagnostic accuracy and allow for early detection of patients at risk for AKI. Further research is needed to confirm these results.
