The effect of mannitol on renal function following cardio‐pulmonary bypass in patients with normal pre‐operative creatinine

Summary Mannitol is often added to the cardiopulmonary bypass pump prime to reduce the incidence of renal dysfunction, but studies so far have been inconclusive. Urinary excretion of microalbumin and retinol binding protein are more sensitive than routine biochemical tests of renal function after ca...

Description
Summary:Summary Mannitol is often added to the cardiopulmonary bypass pump prime to reduce the incidence of renal dysfunction, but studies so far have been inconclusive. Urinary excretion of microalbumin and retinol binding protein are more sensitive than routine biochemical tests of renal function after cardiac surgery. We performed a double‐blind, randomised, controlled trial in cardiac surgical patients with pre‐operative plasma creatinine
