This study showed no association between HES and the postoperative occurrence of acute kidney injury and thus further closes the evidence gap on HES safety in cardiac surgery patients. Although this was a retrospective cohort study, the results indicated that HES might be safely administered to cardiac surgery patients with regard to renal outcomes, especially if it was administered early and dosed appropriately.
