Acute kidney injury is associated with increased long-term mortality after cardiothoracic surgery.

abstract：BACKGROUND:In subjects of all ages, those who weigh the most often have the highest blood pressure. Thus, in epidemiological studies, weight is the most important correlate of blood pressure. Using the data from the Medical College of Virginia Twin Study, we asked these questions: 1) Do the same genetic paths that regu...
