Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently occurs after cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) is known to provide organ protection against ischemia-reperfusion injury through its anti-inflammatory properties. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of a single preoperative bolus of EPO on the incidence of AKI following complex valvular heart surgery in a randomized, controlled and double-blind trial.
