| Abstract | Patients undergoing cardiac surgery with moderate hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) were allocated randomly to receive either saline (control group, n = 29) or a high-dose regimen of aprotinin (aprotinin group, n = 28). In both groups, CPB was associated with similar and transient increases in effective renal plasma flow (+54% in controls and +48% in aprotinin-treated patients) and in fractional excretion of sodium and potassium, but glomerular filtration rate remained unchanged. Plasma and urinary ratios of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha to thromboxane B2 (TxB2) increased significantly, indicating systemic and renal release of vasodilatory prostaglandins. Osmolar clearance correlated with urinary excretion of cyclic GMP (r = 0.79 and 0.86 in the control and aprotinin groups, respectively) and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha (r = 0.63 and 0.69 in the control and aprotinin groups, respectively). Compared with preoperative values, plasma atrial natriuretic peptide increased after weaning from CPB (+71% and +93% in the control and aprotinin groups, respectively). Aprotinin had no apparent adverse effect on renal function and it did not alter mechanisms involving prostanoids and atrial natriuretic peptide during cardiac surgery. | |
