Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Acute renal failure (ARF) is a common postoperative complication after the cardiac surgery. Postoperative ARF have various causes, and are combined with other complications rather than being the only a complication. It deteriorates the general condition of the patient, and makes it difficult to manage the combined complications by disturbing the adequate medication and fluid therapy. We have planned this study to evaluate the effects of postoperative ARF after the on-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) on the recovery of patients and identify the risk factors. Method and Material: We reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent CABG with cardiopulmonary bypass by a single surgeon from Jan. 2000 to Dec. 2002. We checked the preoperative factors; sex, age, history of previous serum creatinine over 2.0 mg/dL, preoperatively last checked serum creatinine, diabetes, hypertension, left ventricular ejection fraction, intraoperative factors; whether the operation is an emergent case or not, cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic cross clamp time, the number of distal anastomosis, postoperative factors; IABP. Then we have studied the relations of these factors and the cases of postoperative peak serum creatinine over 2.0 mg/dL. RESULT: There were 19 cases with postoperative peak serum creatinine over 2.0 mg/dL in a total 97 cases. Dialysis were done in 3 cases for ARF with pulmonary edema and severely reduced urine output. There were 8 cases (42.1%) with combined complications among the 19 patients. This finding showed a significant difference from the 5 cases (6.4%) in the patients whose creatinine level have not increased over 2.0 mg/dL. The mortalities are different as 1.3% to 10.5%. The risk factors that are related with postoperative serum creatinine increment over 2.0 mg/dL are diabetes, the history of previous serum creatinine over 2.0 mg/dL and left ventricular ejection fraction. CONCLUSION: Postoperative ARF after the on-pump CABG is related with preoperative diabetes, the history of previous serum creatinine over 2.0 mg/dL and left ventricular ejection fraction. Postoperative ARF could be the reason for increased rate of complications and mortality after on-pump CABG. Therefore, in the patients with these risk factors, the efforts to prevent postoperative ARF like off-pump CABG should be considered.
