Kidney Injury in Cardiac Surgery - Expression of microRNAs
Conditions
Brief summary
Profiling of microRNAs and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Analysis: Prediction of acute kidney injury by plasma expression profile of microRNAs?
Detailed description
In this pilot study we will include 150 patients undergoing cardiac surgery in a German university hospital. We will profile microRNA expression in plasma and urine before and at several timepoints after surgery. We will use a preselected panel of microRNAs and lncRNAs for analysis. Goal is to identify microRNAs/lncRNAs that are able to predict the occurence of AKI in these patients.
