INTRODUCTION: Acute renal dysfunction is a common and serious postoperative complication of cardiopulmonary bypass and may affect 25% to 50% of patients. Acute renal failure is related to preoperative renal function as well as to the presence of coexisting disease. Cardiopulmonary bypass also may affect renal function adversely because the unphysiologic state of nonpulsatile flow may upset the normal autoregulatory mechanisms of renal blood flow. Acute renal dysfunction also carries significant costs. and is independently associated with increased morbidity and an increase in mortality. Urine acidity may enhance the generation and toxicity of reactive oxygen species induced by cardiopulmonary bypass. Activation of compliment during cardia...
