ABSTRACT: Objective
Administration of excess chloride in 0.9% normal saline (NS) decreases renal perfusion and glomerular filtration rate, thereby increasing the risk for acute kidney injury (AKI). In this study, the effect of NS versus Isolyte use during cardiac surgery on urinary levels of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 [TIMP-2] × [IGFBP7] and postoperative risk of AKI were examined.Design
Prospective, randomized, and single-blinded trial.Setting
Single university medical center.Participants
Thirty patients over 18 years without chronic renal insufficiency or recent AKI undergoing elective cardiac surgery.Interventions
Subjects were randomized to receive either NS or Isolyte during the intraoperative
