Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the major complications in adult postcardiotomy patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. The RIFLE (the Risk of renal failure, Injury to the kidney, Failure of kidney function, Loss of kidney function and End-Stage Kidney Disease) classification and the Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) criteria were proposed to identify and classify AKI recently. This study aims to evaluate the occurrence of AKI during the initial 48 h of ECMO support by using both the RIFLE classification and the AKIN criteria, and to determine which scoring tool has better capability for predicting hospital mortality of adult postcardiotomy patients with ECMO support.
