Background: Inflammation is a key component of both acute kidney injury (AKI) and response to cardiopulmonary bypass. Because AKI poses risks to children after cardiac surgery, we investigated the value of inflammatory biomarkers interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) for predicting AKI and other complications.
Methods: We enrolled 412 children between the ages of 1 month and 18 years undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass for cardiac surgery.
