3.1 Patient demographics
Thirty-one patients were recruited with the majority male (29/31) and
all patients were Caucasian. Twenty patients (64.5%) were classified as
no AKI and 11 patients (35.5%) were classified as AKI based on serum
creatinine concentrations measured at the post timepoint (Table
1 ). Baseline demographics including age, BMI, baseline SCr/eGFR, and
cigarette packs/day were nearly identical between no AKI and AKI
patients (Table 1 ). Out of the 11 patients in the AKI group,
seven patients had stage 2 AKI (2.0-2.9 times increase in SCr compared
to baseline) and 4 patients had stage 1 AKI (1.5-1.9 times increase in
SCr compared to baseline).
