We studied prospectively the perioperative changes of renal function in nine children undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) were measured with inulin and (131)I-hippuran clearances before CPB, during hypo and normothermic CPB, following sternal closure and 1 h postoperatively. Urinary alpha glutathione S-transferase (alpha GS-T) was measured pre- and postoperatively as a marker for tubular cellular damage. Plasma and urine creatinine and electrolytes were measured. Free water, osmolal and creatinine clearances, as well as fractional excretion of sodium (FeNa) and potassium transtubular gradient (TTKG) were calculated. GFR was normal before and after surgery. ERPF was low before and after surgery; it increased significantly immediately after CPB. Filtration fraction (FF) was abnormally elevated before and after surgery; however, a significant decrease during normothermic CPB and sternal closure was found. Alpha GS-T presented a moderate, but nonsignificant increase postoperatively. FeNa also increased in this period, but not significantly. Creatinine, osmolal, free water clearances, as well as TTKG, were normal in all patients pre- and postoperatively. We conclude that there is no evidence of clinically significant deterioration of renal function in children undergoing repair of cardiac lesions under CPB. Minor increases of alpha GS-T in urine postoperatively did not confirm cellular tubular damage. There was no tubular dysfunction at that time.
