The investigators objective is to assess the utility of renal biomarkers in predicting renal
recovery following institution of Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VA-ECMO).
Tissue biomarkers of renal injury may provide a real-time indication of renal function and
the likelihood of renal recovery in patients having cardiogenic shock and requiring VA-ECMO.
In these patients, traditional markers of kidney function (urine output and serum Creatinine
level) do not accurately represent renal function.


Inclusion Criteria:

- age more than 18 years

- refractory or advanced cardiogenic shock prior to institution of VA-ECMO

Exclusion Criteria:

- History of chronic kidney disease prior to cardiogenic shock, as defined by estimated
glomerular filtration rate (GFR) less than 60 mL per min

- Cognitive impairment

- Pregnant women

- patient or surrogate is not fluent in English

- Long-term immunosuppression
