Rationale: Acute renal failure (ARF) is one of the most serious complications of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery. Serum creatinine level is a key compound examined to understand whether renal function is normal. However, its level may vary based on age, gender, race, muscle mass, nutrition, and drugs taken by an individual. In addition, it may not be detected without a 50% reduction in renal function and may lead to delays in treatment. New markers are needed for early diagnosis of ARF. They were determined for early diagnosis of ARF after CPB. Metabolic differences in plasma samples of individuals who developed and did not develop ARF after cardiopulmonary bypass were determined.
