Bicarbonates for the Prevention of Postoperative Renal Failure in Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair : A Randomized Pilot Trial

الملخص EN

Purpose.

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) can contribute to acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing endovascular aortic aneurysm surgery.

We evaluated the incidence of AKI together with the evolution of early biomarkers of renal injury in patients receiving bicarbonates or NaCl 0.9%.

Methods.

This study involved endovascular aortic aneurysm surgery patients.

Group A (n=17) received bicarbonates 3 mL/kg/h for 1 h before the procedure and then 1 mL/kg/h until 6 h after surgery, whereas group B (n=17) received NaCl 0.9% using the same protocol.

Biomarkers of renal injury from urine (interleukin-18 (IL-18), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), and kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1)) and blood (NGAL, cystatin C) were measured at baseline and 3, 24, and 48 h postoperatively.

Results.

AKI occurred in 1 patient (2.9%), in the bicarbonates group.

IL-18, NAG, NGAL, and KIM-1 significantly rose in both groups after the surgery.

There was a greater rise in NGAL and IL-18 after 3 h in the bicarbonates versus NaCl 0.9% group: 1115% versus 240% increase (P=0.03) and 338% increase versus 1.4% decrease (P=0.01).

Conclusions.

Despite significant elevation in biomarkers of renal injury, we demonstrated a low rate of AKI following endovascular aortic surgery.
