Summary

Acute Kidney Injury is a condition where your kidneys suddenly stop working properly and usually occurs if you are already unwell with an illness and can happen after having surgery. Having an episode of acute kidney injury increases the risk of progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD) later on and decreases long-term survival. It also has a major socioeconomic impact with regards to admissions and length of hospital stay. There is currently no universally accepted treatment or method of identifying patients that are at risk. The investigators aim to measure arterial stiffness in patients prior to them undergoing cardiac surgery to investigate whether this measurement is associated with an increased risk of patients developing acute kidney injury after surgery. The investigators are planning to measure arterial stiffness, and examine a blood sample, for kidney health-related levels to determine whether there is an association between those patients who have stiff arterial vessels and those patients who may develop acute kidney injury after surgery.

DEVICE

Arterial stiffness - Vicorder to measure pulse wave velocity

Pulse wave velocity (PWV)measures the stiffness of the arteries. This provides a simple and quick noninvasive method of obtaining the PWV for an arterial segment.
