It was cross sectional study. Sampling technique was <br />non probability convenient sampling. Data was collected from 20.2.2013 to <br />20.8.2013. Total 179 patients included in the study. All patients with known <br />coronary artery disease were included in the study whom were planned for <br />revascularization in the form of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Post -operatively all patients’ serum creatinine till 48th post op hour was observed <br />to detect acute kidney injury. Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) was defined as more <br />than 50 % or elevation of 0.3 mg/dl of creatinine level from base line.<br />Results: A total of 179 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting <br />were included in the study. Average age of the patients was 46.88 years ±9.91 <br />with range 20-60 years. Patients were divided into four groups according to <br />age. The acute kidney injury after coronary artery bypass grafting was ob-served in 14 (7.82%) patients. Acute kidney injury was more common in old <br />age and it was non significantly more common in male gender.<br />Conclusion: In spite of current highly advance cardiac surgery techniques and <br />post operative care still there is high incidence of acute kidney injury follow-ing revascularization and subsequent worst outcomes.</span><strong></strong>}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Postgraduate Medical Institute}, author={Shah, Syed Murad Ali and ., Ikramullah and Khan, Ajab and Sher, Akhtar and Malik, Abdul and Ullah, Naseem and Khan, Riaz Anwar}, year={2016}, month={Feb.} }
