The most sensitive renal predictor of postoperative
mortality in patients undergoing cardiac surgery is:

a) Serum creatinine.
b) Glomerular filtration rate.
c) Proteinuria.
d) None of the above.

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is an independent predictor
of operative mortality following CABG surgery. A
GFR < 60 mg/min per 1.73 m2 has been associated with
increased perioperative mortality and is a more sensitive
indicator than serum creatinine.
