These data suggest that CPB leads to structural and oxidative changes at the protein level and the integrity of glycocalyx is disturbing, but these changes are not specific to kidney injury. Our data suggest that serum cystatin C level and RRI could be used as an early biomarker for postoperative AKI after cardiac surgery.
