Abstract: Introduction: AKI (acute kidney injury) can affect twenty percent of the patients who have been hospitalised. It also contributes to major health implications which can as a result affect socioeconomic implications. Objectives of the study: The main objective of the study is to analyse the arterial stiffness subsequent coronary artery bypass graft for prediction of acute kidney injury. Material and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Health department Punjab during 2018 to 2019. Only the patients who due to have CABG were included in the study and all the others that had CKD stage 4 or 5 were excluded from the study. Blood and urine samples were collected of all the patients included in the study. Data regarding the demography, subject’s medical history which included heart rate, blood pressure and other factors were collected. All the assessments were done in the same visit. Results: The number of participants which were included in this study was 137 in a period of two years. In table 1, their demographic measurements are presented. 85 percent of the participants of the study were male (85% (n = 116)), the mean age of 66.3. Majority participants did not have a renal disease and were not unstable before surgery, but 29(40) percent of the patients developed AKI as defined by the criteria of KDIGO. Conclusion: It is concluded that PWV was assessed erstwhile to CABGs which predicted AKI events post-operative in this exploratory study.
