Abstract |
IntroductionAcute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass in infants. Renal near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) evaluates regional oximetry in a non-invasive continuous real-time fashion, and reflects tissue perfusion. This study aimed to evaluate the relation between renal oximetry and development of AKI in the operative and post-operative setting in infants undergoing cardiopulmonary surgery.MethodsIn this prospective study we enrolled 59 infants undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery for congenital heart disease for uni-ventricular (n¿=¿26) or bi-ventricular (n¿=¿33) repair. Renal NIRS was continuously measured intraoperatively and at least 24 hours postoperatively, and analysed for the intraoperative and first 12, first 24 and following 24 hours periods. The renal oximetry values were correlated with the pediatric Risk-Injury-Failure-Loss-End (pRIFLE) classification for AKI, renal biomarkers and the postoperative course.Results28 (48%) infants developed AKI based on pRIFLE classification. Already in the intraoperative renal oximetry and further in the first 12, 24 and 48 hours postoperatively significantly lower renal oximetry values in AKI patients as compared to patients with normal renal function could be shown (P¿<¿0.05). 11% (3 out of 28) of infants with AKI needed renal replacement therapy and 2 out of 28 (7 %) died. In the non-AKI group no fatal course occurred. Infants with decreased renal oximetry values developed significantly higher lactate levels 24 hours after surgery. Cystatin C was a late parameter of AKI and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin values were not correlated with AKI occurrence.ConclusionOur results suggest that prolonged lower renal oximetry values during cardiac surgery correlate with the development of AKI and may be superior to conventional biochemical markers. Renal NIRS might be a promising non-invasive tool of a multimodal monitoring of kidney function and developing AKI in infants undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. |
