Background: This study aims to investigate the effect of time interval between coronary angiography and coronary artery bypass grafting surgery on postoperative acute kidney injury in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Methods: Between December 2013 and November 2016, a total of 421 diabetic patients (274 males, 147 females; mean age 60±9.2 years; range, 31 to 84 years) who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting were included in the study. Data including demographic characteristics of the patients, comorbidities, medical, and surgical histories, previous coronary angiographies, and operative and laboratory results were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups as those with acute kidney injury (n=108) and those without acute kidney injury (n=313). The Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss, End-Stage Kidney Disease (RIFLE) criteria were used to define acute kidney injury. The patients were further classified into three subgroups according to the time interval: 0-3 days, 4-7 days, and >7 days.

Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the median time between coronary angiography and coronary artery bypass grafting between the patients with and without acute kidney injury (11.5 and 12.0 days; respectively p=0.871). There was no significant difference in the risk factors for acute kidney injury among the subgroups. Multivariate analysis revealed that previous myocardial infarction (odds ratio [OR]: 5.192, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.176-12.38; p<0.001) and the increase in the creatinine levels in the first postoperative day (OR: 4.102 and 95% CI: 1.278- 13.17; p=0.018) were independent predictors of acute kidney injury.

Conclusion: Coronary artery bypass grafting can be performed without any delay after coronary angiography without an increase in the postoperative risk of acute kidney injury in patients with diabetes mellitus.
