Kidney`s Functional State Assessment When Using Different Regimens of Intraoperative Fluid Therapy

The aim of the research. To study the kidneys functional state when using different regimens of intraoperative fluid therapy in high cardiac risk patients during abdominal surgery. Materials and methods. 142 patients who underwent abdominal surgical interventions mainly for oncoproctological diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, aged over 50 years old and with a history of stable coronary heart disease were divided into four groups depending on the way of intraoperative fluid therapy, which was performed according to two regimens: restrictive (R) and liberal (L). R1 (n=36) with rate of intraoperative fluid therapy 3–5 ml/ kg/ h, R2 (n=35) patients received 5–8 ml/kg/h during surgery, L1 (n=35) with intraoperative fluid rate of 8–11 ml/kg/h and L2 (n=36) – more than 11 ml/kg/h intraoperatively. The study of the functional state of the kidneys included the determination of such indicators as urea, creatinine, diuresis, the degree of AKI according to KDIGO in two stages of the study – before surgery and 18–24 hours after. Results. The greatest tendency to develop acute kidney injury was observed in R1 subgroup with a restrictive intraoperative fluid therapy regimen, and the smallest in L1 subgroup with a relatively liberal regimen. The R2 and L2 subgroups took an intermediate place in the number of renal complications. A high tendency to develop renal dysfunction in patients of R1 subgroup was associated with circulatory hypokinesia and a moderate decrease of renal perfusion. Conclusions. The study found that restriction of infusion in R1 subgroup contributed to the development of renal dysfunction in almost half of the patients. First of all it was associated with a decrease of GFR in conditions of circulatory hypokinesia, which is larger in R1 subgroup and amounted to about 35 %. The safest regimens of intraoperative fluid therapy in relation to renal function in the perioperative period were relatively liberal (subgroup L1) and relatively restrictive (subgroup R2), which provided the least number of complications in patient
