Objective: Findings from a large multicenter experience showed that sex influenced the relationship between low nadir hematocrit and increased risk of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery. We explored whether sex-related differences persisted among patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting.
Methods: We undertook a prospective, observational study of 17,363 patients without dialysis (13,137 male: 75.7%; 4226 female: 24.3%) undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting between 2011 and 2016 across 41 institutions in the Perfusion Measures and Outcomes registry. Odds ratios between nadir hematocrit and stage 2 or 3 acute kidney injury were calculated, and the interaction of sex with nadir hematocrit was tested. The multivariable, generalized, linear mixed-effect model adjusted for preoperative and intraoperative factors and institution.
Results: Median nadir hematocrit was 22% among women and 27% among men (P < .001). Women were administered a greater median net prime volume indexed to body surface area (407 vs 363 mL/m) and more red blood cell transfusions (55.5% vs 24.3%; both P < .001). Acute kidney injury was higher among women (6.0% vs 4.3%, P < .001). There was no effect of sex on the relationship between nadir hematocrit and acute kidney injury (P = .67). Low nadir hematocrit was inversely associated with acute kidney injury (adjusted odds ratios per 1-unit increase in nadir hematocrit 0.96; 95% confidence interval, 0.93-0.98); this effect was similar across sexes and independent of red blood cell transfusions.
Conclusions: We found no sex-related differences in the effect of nadir hematocrit on acute kidney injury after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting. However, the strong inverse relationship between anemia and acute kidney injury across sexes suggests the importance of reducing exposure to low nadir hematocrit.

People living with HIV and those diagnosed with alcohol use disorders (AUD) relative to healthy individuals commonly have low levels of serum albumin, substantiated as an independent predictor of cardiovascular events. White matter hyperintensities (WMH)-a neuroimaging feature of cerebral small vessel disease-are also related to cardiovascular disease. Despite consensus regarding associations between high levels of urine albumin and WMH prevalence, and low serum albumin levels and impaired cognitive functioning, relations between serum albumin and WMH burdens have rarely been evaluated.

Objectives: The multifactorial dynamic perfusion index was recently introduced as a predictor of cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury. The multifactorial dynamic perfusion index was developed based on retrospective data retrieved from the patient files. The present study aims to prospectively validate this index in an external series of patients, through an on-line measure of its various components.

Background: Ultrafiltration (UF) is a common practice during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) where it is used as a blood management strategy to reduce red blood cell (RBC) transfusion, minimize adverse effects of hemodilution, and reduce proinflammatory mediators. However, its clinical utilization has been shown to vary throughout the continents.
Purpose: The purpose of this investigation was to assess the distribution of UF use across the United States.

Introduction: Retrograde Autologous Priming (RAP) of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuits is an effective way to reduce prime volume, commonly through the transfer of prime into separate reservoirs or circuit manipulation. We describe a simple and safe technique for RAP without the need for any circuit modifications or manipulations.
Methods: For this technique, a separate roller pump for ultrafiltration (UF) is used.
