Abstract

Background: Postcardiac surgery acute kidney injury (AKI) is common and associated with high mortality and morbidity. Its pathogenesis remains unclear.Objectives: To determine if platelet activation, extracellular vesicles (EVs), and microRNA levels are associated with postoperative AKI.Methods: Pla...

Platelet responsiveness was assessed using a Multiplate aggregometer. Flow cytometry was used to measure platelet and leukocyte activation and for EV derivation.

Platelet-derived EVs increased 24 hours after surgery in AKI patients. Platelets were desensitized to adenosine diphosphate at 6 to 12 hours, independent of aspirin or P2Y12 antagonist use. AKI patients had more activated platelets at 6 to 12 hours, more platelet-granulocyte aggregates before and at 6 to 12 and 24 hours after surgery, and higher soluble ICAM1 levels before and 48 hours after surgery.
