Postoperative acute kidney injury following cardiopulmonary bypass surgery represents a significant barrier to patient recovery and is closely associated with increased postoperative morbidity and mortality. Studies have shown that the incidence of AKI aftercardiopulmonary bypass surgeryranges between 5% and 30%. The Renal Resistive Index, measured by Doppler ultrasonography, is an increasingly utilized parameter that provides valuable insights into renal hemodynamics and vascular resistance. A normal RRI is typically below 0.70; elevated values may indicate increased renal vascular resistance or microvascular damage. Bossard et al. demonstrated that increased RRI in the early postoperative period is associated with the development of AKI. Early evaluation of renal blood flow thus facilitates prompt detection of AKI. Both preoperative and postoperative RRI measurements are considered useful tools for identifying early renal dysfunction. Monitoring RRI before and after CABG may provide critical information for preventing postoperative renal complications.
