Sodium bicarbonate to prevent cardiac surgery-associated kidney injury: the end of a dream?
نویسندگان
چکیده
The rationale of urine alkalinization through intravenous sodium bicarbonate to prevent cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury relies on several pathophysiological arguments. Urine alkalinization is easily feasible in the ICU setting and is often considered to be associated with few side effects. In a previous issue of Critical Care, a retrospective study evaluates the effect of routine intravenous bicarbonate use to prevent cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury with cardiopulmonary bypass. This commentary discusses recent data on the use of bicarbonate to prevent cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury.

233 February 2015 A CUTE kidney injury following cardiac surgery is associated with significant morbidity and mortality.1 This important postoperative complication, termed cardiac surgery–associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI), is multifactorial in etiology, with postulated causes including impaired renal perfusion, inflammation, ischemia–reperfusion, microemboli, oxidative stress, and nephrot...

Abstract Background and objectives: cardiac surgery is often associated with acute kidney injury (AKI). Nowadays, AKI is typically diagnosed by an increase in serum creatinine, which is a delayed and unreliable biomarker. Recent studies recommended using the liver type fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP) as an early biomarker. Material and Methods: The urine samples of 18 adult patients undergo...

INTRODUCTION Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequently observed phenomenon after cardiac surgery with cardio-pulmonary bypass (CPB); this severe complication is associated with adverse patient outcomes. There are multiple mechanisms involved in AKI during cardiac surgery, including CPB-dependent hemolysis. An IV infusion of sodium bicarbonate, which leads to urine alkalization, ma...

The systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective randomized trials reported by Tie and colleagues [1] in a previous issue of Critical Care provide evidence that intravenous sodium bicarbonate (SBIC) administration does not reduce the incidence of cardiac surgery-associated (CSA) acute kidney injury (AKI) but prolongs the duration of mechanical ventilation and of hospital stay. The conclus...

Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery is a common and serious complication. Although lower than normal serum bicarbonate levels are known to be associated with consecutive renal function deterioration in patients with chronic kidney injury, it is not well-known whether preoperative low serum bicarbonate levels are associated with the development of AKI in patients who undergo cardiac ...
