Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common emergencies and severe diseases in the clinic. We sought to verify whether remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) has a protective effect on the kidney of child with congenital heart disease undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery. We hypothesized it may be related to the up-regulation of microRNA-21 (miR-21).
