Effects of cardiopulmonary bypass perfusion temperature on perioperative renal function in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery

ConclusionsCPB with moderate hypothermia for valvular heart surgeries can be performed safely in patients with adequate renal functional reserve. The glomerular permeability across the Bowman’s capsule increases after CPB as evidenced by significant proteinuria at 12 hrs and increased albuminuria at 48 hrs after surgery. There is an increased risk of transient stage I Acute Kidney Injury after cardiopulmonary bypass which recovers within 48 hours.
