  Purpose

Acute kidney injury (AKI) has no uniform criteria, but is commonly defined as an increase in serum creatinine concentration by at least 25% from baseline. It occurs in 30% of patients following cardiac surgery, and at least 50% of patients with underlying renal insufficiency. Patients who have a reduced creatinine clearance pre-operatively are at the greatest risk of developing post-operative AKI. The purpose of the current study is to determine if intravenous hydration with either isotonic saline or sodium bicarbonate 150 mEq/L is effective at preventing post-operative AKI in patients with baseline kidney insufficiency and who are undergoing cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass. The study hypothesis is that an infusion of sodium bicarbonate 150 mEq/L will be more effective than isotonic saline in reducing the incidence of post-operative AKI in cardiac surgery patients with a preoperative glomerular filtration rate (GFR) less than 60 ml/min/1.73m2.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Acute kidney injury [ Time Frame: 5 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 100
Study Start Date: January 2009
Estimated Study Completion Date: January 2012
Estimated Primary Completion Date: January 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Placebo Comparator: Normal Saline
This group will receive isotonic saline at 3 ml/kg/hr for one hour pre-operatively until the patient is started on cardiopulmonary bypass. Then the infusion will be reduced to 1 ml/kg/hr throughout cardiopulmonary bypass and for six hours following cardiopulmonary bypass.
Drug: 0.9% Sodium Chloride (Placebo)
3 ml/kg/hr for one hour pre-operatively until the patient is started on cardiopulmonary bypass. Then the infusion will be reduced to 1 ml/kg/hr throughout cardiopulmonary bypass and for six hours following cardiopulmonary bypass.
Other Name: Normal Saline
Active Comparator: Sodium Bicarbonate
This arm two will receive sodium bicarbonate 150mEq in 850ml of a 5% dextrose solution at 3 ml/kg/hr for one hour pre-operatively until the patient is started on cardiopulmonary bypass. Then the infusion will be reduced to 1 ml/kg/hr throughout cardiopulmonary bypass and for six hours following cardiopulmonary bypass.
Drug: Sodium Bicarbonate
Group two will receive sodium bicarbonate 150mEq in 850ml of a 5% dextrose solution at 3 ml/kg/hr for one hour pre-operatively until the patient is started on cardiopulmonary bypass. Then the infusion will be reduced to 1 ml/kg/hr throughout cardiopulmonary bypass and for six hours following cardiopulmonary bypass.
Other Name: Bicarbonate

Detailed Description:

This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, prospective, double-blinded. The study will take place at Community Medical Center in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The inclusion criteria are patients undergoing elective, urgent, or emergent cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass and having a baseline GFR less than 60 ml/min/1.73m2 estimated using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation. Patients will be excluded from the study if they have cardiogenic shock (defined as a cardiac index less 2 L/min/m2 despite high dose inotropes or the need for intra-aortic balloon pump), end-stage kidney disease requiring dialysis, received an infusion of sodium bicarbonate on the same day as cardiac surgery, or if they are enrolled in a separate clinical research trial. This trial will involve two treatment groups. Group one will receive isotonic saline at 3 ml/kg/hr for one hour pre-operatively until the patient is started on cardiopulmonary bypass. Then the infusion will be reduced to 1 ml/kg/hr throughout cardiopulmonary bypass and for six hours following cardiopulmonary bypass. Group two will receive sodium bicarbonate 150mEq in 850ml of a 5% dextrose solution using the same infusion regimen as described above for isotonic saline. The primary efficacy outcome of the study will be the incidence of AKI postoperatively. Acute kidney injury will be defined as an increase in serum creatinine concentration by at least 25% from baseline or an absolute increase of 0.5 mg/dL at any time within the first five postoperative days.
