Dextran-Based Priming Solution during Cardiopulmonary Bypass Attenuates Renal Tubular Injury – A Secondary Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trial in Adult Cardiac Surgery Patients
In patients undergoing cardiac surgery with CPB, colloid-based priming solution (dextran 40) induced less renal tubular injury compared to a crystalloid-based priming solution. Whether a colloid-based priming solution will improve renal outcome in high-risk cardiac surgery, or not, needs to be evaluated in future studies on higher risk cardiac surgery patients.
