  • Measurement and Significance of Serum Nitric Oxide Level in Patient with Obstructive Jaundice and Renal Dysfunction

    ObjectiveTo study the change and significance of the serum nitric oxide (NO) level in patient with obstructive jaundice complicated with renal dysfunction. MethodsThe level of NO, BUN, Cr in serum and the activity of NOS in 25 patients with obstructive jaundice and renal dysfunction and 26 healthy adults was studied.ResultsThe patients’ serum NO level and the activity of NOS were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.01),whereas the serum BUN and Cr levels were significantly higher than those in control group(P<0.01). The linear correlation analysis showed that the serum NO had a negative correlation between serum BUN and Cr level (P<0.01). ConclusionThe patients with obstructive jaundice and renal dysfunction may lead to the decrease of serum NO level. NO may have some protective effects to the renal function during obstructive jaundice.

  • THE ROLE OF NITRIC OXIDE IN THE PATHOGENESIS OF RENAL DYSFUNCTION DURING ACUTE BILIARY INFECTION IN RATS

    Objective To investigate the effect of nitric oxide (NO) on the renal function in acute biliary infection. Methods 35 Wistar rats were divided randomly into acute biliary infection group (AC), group of AC with Larginine(L), group of L-NAME(N), group of simple biliary obstruction(O) and a sham-operated group(SO), and serum NO、 BUN、 Cr and NOS were determined and pathologic changes of liver and kidney were observed. Results NO and NOS were significantly higher in L group than in any other groups (P<0.05), BUN and Cr were significantly lower than in AC and N groups (P<0.05), but showed no significance compared with O group (P>0.05). The pathology of kidney in L group showed a less severe change than that in AC group; NO and NOS in N group were lower than those in other groups. BUN and Cr were higher than those in other groups (P<0.05). Conclusion NO has a protection for renal function in acute biliary infected rats the mechanism being related to its dilative effect on renal vessels and increased renal blood perfusion.

  • Comparison of Accuracy of Different Renal Function Measurements for Predicting Adverse Events after Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

    Objective To compare the accuracy of different renal function measurements for predicting postoperativeadverse events after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) for Chinese patients. Methods Clinical data of 283 Chinese patients undergoing isolated OPCAB from January 2010 to December 2011 in the First Hospital of Peking University were retrospectively analyzed. There were 194 male and 89 female patients with their age of 65.0±9.7 years. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated using Cockcroft-Gault equation,Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) study equation and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation respectively.Logistic multivariate regression analysis was performed to compare the accuracy of these 3 different renal function measure-ments for predicting postoperative adverse events. Results Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that preoper-ative renal dysfunction was an independent risk factor for higher postoperative morbidity,more blood transfusion,prolongedhospitalization,mechanical ventilation time and length of ICU stay. Among the different postoperative complications,preop-erative renal dysfunction was an independent risk factor for postoperative acute renal injury,gastrointestinal bleeding,new onset atrial fibrillation and low cardiac output syndrome. Among Cockcroft-Gault equation,MDRD study equationand CKD-EPI equation to calculate eGFR,CKD-EPI equation was most accurate to predict postoperative morbidity (OR=1.227),acute renal injury (OR=1.534),new onset atrial fibrillation (OR=1.184),prolonged hospitalization(OR=1.160),mechanical ventilation time (OR=1.165) and ICU stay (OR=1.151). Conclusion Preoperative renal dysfunction is an independent risk factor for postoperative adverse events after OPCAB. CKD-EPI equation is more suitable for predicting postoperative adverse events after OPCAB for Chinese patients.

  • Impact of Preoperative Renal Dysfunction on Outcomes of Cardiac Surgery and Risk Factor Analysis

    Objective To investigate the prognosis and risk factors of cardiac surgical patients with preoperative renal dysfunction,and evaluate the accuracy of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) as a predictor of adverse outcomes. Methods A total of 2 151 adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery in Renji Hospital,School of Medicine of Shanghai Jiaotong University from January 2005 to December 2009 were included in this study. There were 1 267 male patientsand 884 female patients with their average age of 58.7 (18-99)years. Clinical characteristics of patients with preoperative renal dysfunction,severity of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI)and patients’ outcomes were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to analyze perioperative risk factors of postoperative AKI. Receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was used to evaluate the accuracy of eGFR to predict patients undergoing postoperative renal replacement therapy (RRT) and in-hospital death. Results A total of 221 patients (10.27%) had preoperative renal dysfunction,among whom 124 patients (56.11%) developed postoperative AKI. Patients with preoperative renal dysfunction were older,had more comorbidities including hypertension and diabetes mellitus,were more likely to receive postoperative RRT,and had worse outcomes. Patients with decreased preoperative eGFR had significantly higher in-hospital mortality. Patients with preoperative renal dysfunction who developed postoperative AKI had the worst prognosis. Multivariate logistic regression showed that hypertension (OR=4.497,P=0.003),postoperative central venous pressure (CVP) <6 cm H2O (OR=16.410,P=0.000) and postoperative CVP>14 cm H2O (OR= 5.178,P=0.013) were independent predictors of postoperative AKI for patients with preoperative renal dysfunction. The areas under the ROC curves of eGFR to predict in-hospital mortality and postoperative RRT were 0.691 and 0.704 respectively (95% CI 0.630-0.752,P=0.000;95% CI 0.614-0.795,P=0.001). Conclusion Patients with preoperative renal dysfunction are older,have more comorbidities,higher likelihood to develop postoperative AKI and worse prognosis. Hypertension,postoperative CVP<6 cm H2O and postoperative CVP>14 cm H2O are independent predictors of postoperative AKI for patients with preoperative renal dysfunction. We believe eGFR can accurately predict the risk of adverse kidney outcomes and in-hospital death of patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

  • Correlation between Metabolic Syndrome and Renal Function in Physical Examination Population: A Cross-sectional Study

    Objective To explore the correlation between metabolic syndrome and renal function in physical examination population. Methods The data of individual physical examination in West China Hospital from March to April 2015 was collected. Body mass index (BMI), glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were calculated, and the correlation between metabolic syndrome and renal function was analyzed by using SPSS 16.0 software. Results A total of 10 098 individuals were included, of which 1 110 were MS patients were included. The results of analysis showed that, the levels of uric acid, cholesterol, urea and creatinine in MS group were significantly higher than those in non-MS group, and the level of GFR was significantly lower than that in non-MS group (P < 0.05). Renal function in patients with abnormal systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose (FBG), low density lipoprotein, total cholesterol, triglycerides, uric acid index were significantly higher than those in normal renal function group, and high density lipoprotein cholesterol was significantly lower than that of normal renal function group (P < 0.01). Conclusion Elevated levels of BMI, blood pressure, glucose, uric acid are correlated with the decrease of GFR, and metabolic syndrome is an important risk factor of renal dysfunction.
