BackgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) is a significant complication in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Iron metabolism-related indicators such as ferritin may predict AKI after adult cardiac surgery. However, it remains unclear whether ferritin can be used as a predictor of AKI after pediatric cardiac surgery. This study aims to investigate the association between preoperative serum ferritin levels and the risk of AKI in pediatric population. MethodsA prospective observational coho...
