Influence of Blood Haemoglobin Concentration on Renal Haemodynamics and Oxygenation During Experimental Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Sheep
In experimental CPB blood transfusion to increase Hb concentration from ~7 g dL−1 to ~9 g dL−1 did not improve renal cortical or medullary tissue PO2 even though it decreased whole kidney oxygen extraction.
