A recent study explored one possible cause -- hyperoxia or high concentrations of oxygen given to such patients during surgery -- as opposed to doses more similar to air. The study concluded that hyperoxia increased oxidative stress during surgery, but this effect did not persist after surgery and did not lead to more acute kidney injury.

An analysis based on a proposed heart failure risk prediction tool reveals that the incidence of heart failure may be 2- to 3-fold higher among American Indian adults compared to people in other population groups. The risk prediction equation focused on diabetes control and kidney damage indicates that smoking, Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, previous heart attack and diabetes-related kidney damage are associated with increased risk of developing heart failure among American Indian adults.
