Forest plot of univariate predictors of AKI. Significant (P < 0.05) univariate predictors of AKI are depicted. The POD #1 WBC, procedure duration, and the use of ketorolac, and steroids correlate with systemic inflammation. Some predictors of interest without association with AKI are listed near the bottom of the Forest Plot. Euvolemia: a patient with a positive fluid balance between 0 and 3 L on the morning after surgery. Severe Glucose Abnormality: either severe postoperative hyperglycemia (glucose > = 180 mg/dl), or severe hypoglycemia (glucose < 54 mg/dl). Pos Cul POD 0: a patient with a positive culture on the day of surgery. NS or RL bolus: bolus fluid therapy of either normal saline or Ringer’s lactate. DF: The univariate analyses were based on 1224 patients, with a few missing parameters for each predictor, except the following: HgA1C: DF: 690
