Because development of acute renal failure is one of the most potent predictors of outcome
in cardiac surgery patients, the prevention of renal dysfunction is of utmost importance in …

The efficacy of renal-dose dopamine to improve renal function or reduce renal impairment
was studied in 52 patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass surgery. The patients …

Background. Acute renal failure occurring in the postoperative period, requiring dialysis after
cardiac surgery is an important risk factor for an early mortality, and the overall mortality of …

Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the renoprotective role of renal-dose dopamine on cardiac
surgical patients at high risk of postoperative renal dysfunction. The latter included older …

Objective: To determine the effect on renal function of postoperative low-dose dopamine in
volume-replete patients after elective, major vascular abdominal surgery. Design …

Objective: Acute renal failure complicating open heart surgery is not uncommon. Dopamine
infusion (2.5–4.0 μg/kg per min) has often been advocated for prophylactic'renal …

Background—Acute renal failure is a serious complication of cardiac surgery causing high
morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of fenoldopam …

Objective: Renal dysfunction following cardiac surgery is more apparent in high-risk patients
with pre-existing renal dysfunction, diabetes and impaired left-ventricular function, and …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the renoprotective effects of
fenoldopam in patients at high risk of postoperative acute kidney injury undergoing elective …

Renal failure is a frequent event after cardiopulmonary by-pass. Hemodynamic alterations
that occur during surgery, as well as factors depending on the host, are the main risk factors …
