Background: Acute renal failure (ARF) after cardiac surgery is a serious adverse event that is associated with high perioperative mortality and prolonged hospitalization. The aim of our study was to evaluate pre- and intraoperative risk factors for the development of ARF requiring hemofiltration after cardiac surgery. Methods: From February 2002 through February 2003, 913 patients underwent cardiac surgery at our institution. Seventy-three patients developed ARF (8.1%), 16 patients were excluded from the study because of chronic end-stage renal insufficiency. Patient characteristics and operative variables were analyzed. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine risk factors for ARF. Results: Patients who developed ARF were older (P < .001; odds ratio [OR], 1.084; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.0371.133) than patients who did not develop ARF. Furthermore, cardiopulmonary bypass duration (P = .007; OR, 1.013; 95% CI, 1.004-1.032) and emergent surgery (P = .011; OR, 6.667; CI, 1.538-28.571) were predictive for development of ARF. The strongest predictor for ARF was a preoperative creatinine level 2 mg/dL (P < .001; OR, 97.519; 95% CI, 22.363425.252). Most interestingly, even moderately elevated preoperative creatinine levels (1.3-1.99 mg/dL) independently predict ARF after cardiac surgery (P = .001; OR, 3.838; 95% CI, 1.793-8.217). Conclusion: Our data indicate that emergent surgery as well as advanced age and long duration of cardiopulmonary bypass independently predict ARF after cardiac surgery. Most importantly, even slightly impaired preoperative creatinine levels predict the development of ARF requiring hemofiltration after cardiac surgery.

The aim of the study was to investigate if acute renal failure (ARF) following cardiac surgery is influenced by CPB perfusion pressure and to determine risk factors of ARF. Our research consisted of two studies. In the first study, 179 adult patients with normal preoperative renal function who had been subjected to cardiac surgery on CPB were randomized into three groups. The mean perfusion pressure (PP) during CPB in Group 65 (68 patients) was 60–69.9 mmHg, in Group 55 (59 patients) – lower than 60 mmHg and in Group 75 (52 patients) – 70 mmHg and higher. We have analyzed postoperative variables: central venous pressure, the need for diuretics, urine output, fluid balance, acidosis, potassium level in blood serum, the need for hemotransfusions, nephrological, cardiovascular and respiratory complications, duration of artificial lung ventilation, duration of stay in ICU and in hospital, and mortality. In the second study, to identify the risk factors for the development of ARF following CPB, we retrospectively analysed data of all 179 patients, divided into two groups: patients who developed ARF after surgery (group with ARF, n = 19) and patients without ARF (group without ARF, n = 160). We found that urine output during surgery was statistically significantly lower in Group 55 than in Groups 65 and 75. The incidence of ARF in the early postoperative period did not differ among the groups: it developed in 6% of all patients in Group 65, 4% in Group 55 and 6% in Group 75. There were no differences in the rate of other complications (cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological disorders, bleeding, etc) among the groups. There were 19 cases of ARF (10.6%), but none of these patients needed dialysis. We found that age (70.0 ± 7.51 vs. 63.5 ± 10.54 [standard deviation, SD], P = 0.016), valve replacement and/or reconstruction surgery (57.9% vs. 27.2%, P = 0,011), combined valve and CABG surgery (15.8% vs. 1.4%, P = 0.004), duration of CPB (134.74 ± 62.02 vs. 100.59 ± 43.99 min., P = 0.003) and duration of aortic cross-clamp (75.11 ± 35.78 vs. 53.45 ± 24.19 min., P = 0.001) were the most important independent risk factors for ARF. Cardiopulmonary bypass perfusion pressure did not cause postoperative renal failure. The age of patient, valve surgery procedures, duration of cardiopulmonary bypass and duration of aorta cross-clamp are potential causative factors for acute renal failure after cardiac surgery.

Introduction. Patients on dialysis for end-stage renal failure are subjected to cardiac surgery with increasing frequency. End-stage renal failure is known to be an important risk factor for complications of cardiac operations performed with cardiopulmonary bypass. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of preoperative clinical status and operative variables on perioperative morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis dependent patients subjected to a cardiac surgery. Material and Methods. The following operative variables were examined: urgency, type and duration of surgery and duration of extracorporeal circulation. The study is a retrospective analysis of consecutive patients with end-stage renal failure dependent on maintenance hemodialysis who underwent cardiac surgery during four years. Results. The study included 46 patients. Operations performed included isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG, n = 24), valve surgery alone (n = 6), and combined valve surgery or coronary artery bypass grafting and valve surgery (n = 16). The perioperative mortality rate was 13% with four fatal outcomes in patients who had undergone combined cardiac surgery. We found age > 70 years, preoperative New York Heart Association class IV, preoperative anemia, combined surgery and emergent surgery to be associated with a higher relative risk for perioperative death. Conclusion. Patients on dialysis have an increased morbidity and mortality following cardiac surgery; however, we believe that end-stage renal failure should not be regarded as a contraindication to cardiac surgery or cardiopulmonary bypass.

Abstract Background Heterozygous mutations in the inverted formin 2 (INF2) gene are related to secondary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a rare secondary disease associated with rapidly progressive renal failure. Case presentation We report a patient with familial autosomal INF2 mutation manifesting nephritic syndromes and elevated serum creatinine levels. Mutational analysis revealed an autosomal dominant (AD) inheritance pattern and a mutation in exon 4 (p.Arg214Cys) of INF2 as the likely cause, which has not been previously described in an Asian family. The patient progressed to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and received hemodialysis. His mother had undergone renal transplant 3 years earlier, and his grandmother had carried the p.Arg214Cys mutation for more than 80 years without any sign of renal dysfunction. Conclusions This is the first report to identify an association between a familial autosomal dominant INF2 p.Arg214Cys mutation and rapidly progressive renal disease in an Asian family. INF2 mutation analysis should not be restricted to individuals without family history of FSGS, rather it should also be performed on individuals for whom drug-based therapies are not effective. In this case, kidney transplant is an effective alternative.

There is increasing evidence that genetic variability influence patients’ early morbidity after cardiac surgery performed using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The use of mortality as an outcome measure in cardiac surgical genetic association studies is rare. We publish the 30-day and 5-year survival analyses with focus on pre-, intra-, postoperative variables, biochemical parameters, and genetic variants in the INFLACOR (INFlAmmation in Cardiac OpeRations) cohort.In a series of prospectively recruited 518 adult Polish Caucasians who underwent cardiac surgery in which CPB was used, the clinical data, biochemical parameters, IL-6, soluble ICAM-1, TNFa, soluble E-selectin, and 10 single nucleotide polymorphisms were evaluated for their associations with 30-day and 5-year mortality.The 30-day mortality was associated with: pre-operative prothrombin international normalized ratio, intra-operative blood lactate, postoperative serum creatine phosphokinase, and acute kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy (AKI-RRT) in logistic regression. Factors that determined the 5-year survival included: pre-operative NYHA class, history of peripheral artery disease and severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, intra-operative blood transfusion; and postoperative peripheral hypothermia, myocardial infarction, infection, and AKI-RRT in Cox regression. The serum levels of IL-6 and ICAM-1 measured three hours after operation were associated with 30-day and 5-year mortality, respectively. The ICAM1 rs5498 was associated with 30-day and 5-year survival with borderline significance.Different risk factors determined the early (30-day) and late (5-year) survival after adult cardiac surgery in which cardiopulmonary bypass was used. Future genetic association studies in cardiac surgical patients should adjust for the identified chronic and acute postoperative risk factors.
