Summary

Adequate preoperative hydration and lactulose effectively prevent postoperative renal dysfunction in patients with acute obstructive jaundice (AOJ). This management strategy is crucial for safeguarding kidney function, even in high-risk elderly individuals.

Area of Science:

Surgical Management

Background:

Acute obstructive jaundice (AOJ) can lead to reduced plasma volume and endotoxemia.
Optimal preoperative management for AOJ remains debated.
Preoperative hydration and lactulose are investigated for preventing renal dysfunction.

Purpose of the Study:

To demonstrate the necessity of preoperative hydration and lactulose.
To prevent postoperative renal dysfunction in patients with AOJ.

Main Methods:

55 patients with AOJ (benign/malignant strictures) received oral lactulose and IV cefazoline preoperatively.
Fluid balance was maintained, and high-risk patients underwent echocardiography.
Renal function assessed via creatinine clearance (ClCr) changes post-surgery.

Main Results:

No patients developed postoperative renal failure.
Preoperative and postoperative ClCr values showed no significant difference (P=0.489).
One patient with pre-existing renal impairment showed improved ClCr post-operation.

Conclusions:

Adequate preoperative hydration and endotoxin inactivation are vital for preventing acute renal failure in AOJ.
This regimen effectively prevents renal complications, even in high-risk elderly patients.
The study supports the use of this protocol for AOJ management.
