Open Access Abstract Introduction Urinary interleukin-18 IL-18 measured during the immediate postoperative period could be a promising predictor of acute kidney injury following adult cardiac surgery. Methods In a single-centre prospective observational cohort study we enrolled 100 adult cardiac surgical patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass at a tertiary hospital. We measured the urinary concentration of IL-18 and creatinine preoperatively on arrival in the intensive care unit and 24 hours postoperatively. We assessed urinary IL-18 concentration and urinary IL-18 urinary creatinine ratio in relation to the postoperative development of acute kidney injury defined as an increase in .
