  Purpose

Children with congenital heart defects often need cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (the "heart-lung machine"). Approximately 35 to 50% of these children will have "acute kidney injury," or damage to the kidneys, after the procedure. We currently have few medications to prevent this kidney injury. The hypothesis of this study is that giving aminophylline after heart surgery can decrease the acute kidney injury.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Acute Kidney Injury measured by pRIFLE criteria [ Time Frame: 5 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    pRIFLE is a measure of acute kidney injury.


Estimated Enrollment: 160
Study Start Date: November 2010
Estimated Study Completion Date: November 2012
Estimated Primary Completion Date: November 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Aminophylline
Patients to receive aminophylline 5 mg/kg IV bolus then 1.8 mg/kg IV Q6 hours
 Drug: Aminophylline
5 mg/kg IV bolus then 1.8 mg/kg IV Q6 hours
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Normal Saline Placebo
 Drug: Placebo
Normal Saline

Detailed Description:

Patients are randomized to receive aminophylline or placebo for 72 hours, in a blinded fashion. Serum theophylline levels monitor for safety of aminophylline dose. Goal theophylline levels is 5-7 mcg/ml. Laboratory results will be faxed directly to the pharmacy who will adjust subsequent aminophylline dosing to maintain appropriate theophylline levels. Urine output and serum creatinine levels will be monitored to assess acute kidney injury. Serum Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) levels will also be monitored.
