Abstract
Preoperative renal function is highly associated with the cost of CABG. Assessment of renal function may be used to preoperatively predict cost and resource utilization. Optimizing renal function preoperatively has the potential to improve patient quality and costs by approximately 6% ($1,250) for every 10 mL/min improvement in creatinine clearance.
