Limitation of study
The main limitation of this study being retrospective, small number and single center. Another limitation was not considering other criteria for AKI especially in pediatrics because of controversiality on choosing the definitive criteria for this group
Conclusion
CSA-AKI is a common and significant complication that affect the results of cardiac surgery both in adults and pediatrics. Prevention by preoperative identification of predictor risk factors and modification is the best strategy for management.
