Pathophysiological reasons and preventive strategies remain limited. Preoperative hydration and restriction of fluid fasting represent potentially modifiable factors, yet their association with postoperative CSA-AKI remains poorly understood.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To explore the association between preoperative oral hydration and CSA-AKI in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery with CPB.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design, setting, and participants<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Prospective, single centre, observational hypothesis-generating study. Preoperative hydration surrogate was estimated based on patient self-reporting of fluid intake between admission and surgery.
