Renal function parameters at different times between two groups
As shown in Table 2 , both for SCr or eGFR, there was no statistically significant difference among the before IABP implantation, three days after implantation, and after IABP removing. However, as for before IABP implantation group and three days after implantation group, the values of SCr and eGFR were significantly lower in the IABP duration ≤4 days group compared to the IABP duration > 4 days. Significant differences of eGFR between the two groups were also found after IABP removing. It demonstrated that renal function was only correlated with IABP duration instead of timing of IABP implantation.
