[THE RISK OF ACUTE RENAL LESIONS AND ITS PROGNOSTIC SIGNIFICANCE IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC RENAL DISEASE UNDERGOING...

to determine the frequency and risk factors of acute renal lesions (ARL) and their prognostic significance in patients with chronic renal disease (CRD) undergoing surgical intervention.

The study included 1122 patients (586 men and 536 women) aged 32-68 (mean 62.3 ± 5.2) years who underwent correction of valvular defects, aortocoronary bypass surgery or their combination). Initial glomerular filtration rate was higher than 90 ml/min/l.73 m2 in 656 patients (group 1) and 89-60 ml/min/l/73 m2 in 470 ones (group 2). ARL were diagnosed based on the serum creatinine level using RIFLE criteria.

In the early postoperative period, ARL were diagnosed in 23.9% of the patients in group I and 38.7% of those in group 2 (p < 0.001). Intra-hospital lethality in group 1 was 4.9% (14.1% in patients with ARL) and 12.1% in group 2 (18.1% iin patients with ARL). In group 2, 47.9% of the patients with ARL experienced regress of renal dysfunction during 12 months compared with 56.9% ones without ARL. The progress of CRD was documented in 11% of group 2 patients with ARL and in (4.5% without AR (p = 0.013). 5.7% of the patients in group 1 developed CRD after ARL. 4.9% of the patients in group 2 needed programmed hemodialysis.

The development of ARL in patients with CRD is associated with unfvouravle cardiovascular prognosis following cardiosurgery.
