Objective: Renal dysfunction following cardiac surgery is more apparent in high-risk patients with pre-existing renal dysfunction, diabetes and impaired left-ventricutar function, and following complicated procedures involving prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The aim of this prospectively randomised double-blinded placebo-controlled study was to evaluate reno-protective effect of low-dose furosemide infusion in this high-risk group. Methods: Patients with preoperative serum creatinine > 130 mu mol/l (1.4 mg/dl), left-ventricular ejection fraction < 50%, congestive heart failure, diabetes, or procedures involving prolonged CPB were randomised to receive either saline at 2 ml/h (n = 21), or furosemide at 4 mg/h (n = 21). Infusion was commenced after induction of anaesthesia and continued for 12 h postoperatively. Renal dysfunction was defined as > 50% increase in serum creatinine postoperatively, or > 130 mu mol/l (1.4 mg/dl), or requirement for haemodialysis, or all of these. In patients with preoperative serum creatinine > 130 mu mol/t, > 50% increase over preoperative levels was used to define postoperative renal dysfunction. Results: Following cardiac surgery, patients receiving furosemide had a higher urine output (3.4 +/- 1.2 mt/kg/h in furosemide group and 1.2 +/- 0.5 mt/kg/h in placebo group; p < 0.001), higher postoperative fluid requirement (4631 1359 ml/min in furosemide group and 37143 +/- 87 ml. in placebo group, p = 0.011), and lower urinary-creatinine (2 +/- 1.3 mu mol/l in furosemide group and 5.9 +/- 2.5 mu mol in placebo group p < 0.001). Both groups had significant increase in retinol binding protein /creatinine ratio (7.2 +/- 6 to 3152 +/- 1411 in furosemide group; 4.9 +/- 2.1 to 2809 +/- 1125 in placebo group; p < 0.001) and peak serum creatinine (98 +/- 33 to 177 +/- 123 mu mol/l in furosemide group; 96 +/- 20 to 143 87 mot/t in placebo group; p < 0.001), and a significant decrease in peak creatinine-clearance (64.3 +/- 29.4 to 39.1 +/- 16.6 ml/min in furosemide group; 65.5 +/- 38.6 to 41.8 +/- 17.8 ml/min in placebo group; p < 0.001) following cardiac surgery, implying significant renal injury following cardiac surgery. Peak creatinine levels (177 +/- 123 mu mol/l in furosemide group and 143 87 mu mol/l in placebo group; p = 0.35) and peak creatinine-clearance (39.1 +/- 16.6 ml/min in furosemide group and 41.8 17.8 ml/min in placebo group; p = 0.61) were similar in the two groups. Importantly, there was no difference in incidence of renal dysfunction between the furosemide group (9/21) and the control group (8/21) (relative risk 1.1, 95% confidence interval 0.6-2.2; p = 0.99). Conclusions: Our randomised trial did not demonstrate any benefit of furosemide-infusion postoperatively in high-risk cardiac surgical patients. Although urinary output increased with furosemide, there was no decrease in renal injury, and no decrease in incidence of renal dysfunction. (c) 2008 European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery.
