Plasma growth-differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) in patients without acute kidney injury (AKI) and in patients with AKI grade 1 (AKI-1) and grade 3: *analysis of variance; p < 0.001). Preoperative plasma GDF-15 was significantly higher in relation to the severity of AKI in comparison with patients without this complication (no AKI vs. Grade 1, p < 0.001; Grade 1 vs Grade 3, p < 0.001)
