Fig 1 Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals of acute kidney injury per 10-mL/kg increase in conventional ultrafiltration volume as a function of creatinine clearance. The effect of conventional ultrafiltration volume per kilogram on acute kidney injury is displayed according to preoperative creatinine clearance. Dotted lines represent 95% confidence intervals. The effect of conventional ultrafiltration volume per kilogram on acute kidney injury was modified by a patient’s presenting effective glomerular filtration rate (p = 0.0007).
