Data are presented as median percentage [interquartile range] of the value before the start of extracorporeal circulation
Before EC, before the start of extracorporeal circulation; before DIAL, before the start of dialysis; after DIAL, 60 min after the start of extracorporeal circulation
p values are determined by the Kruskal–Wallis test followed by the post hoc Steel’s test
