Serum Klotho as A Marker for Early Diagnosis of Acute Kidney Injury After Cardiac Surgery

Frailty contributes significantly to FTR after cardiovascular surgery.

Preoperative assessment of frailty may better guide risk estimation and identification of patients who would benefit from appropriate prehabilitative interventions to optimize outcomes.
