Trial Outcomes & Findings for Use of 6% Hydroxyethylstarch (130/0.4) in Cardiac Surgical Patients (NCT NCT02192502)

NCT ID: NCT02192502

Last Updated: 2023-02-14

Results Overview

To assess the safety of HES 130/0.4 (Voluven) versus albumin 5% on renal function we will measure urinary concentrations of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), an important marker of renal function, measured at baseline (following anesthetic induction and prior to surgical incision), at one hour of arrival to intensive care unit (ICU), at 24 hours following completion of surgery.

Participant Flow

9 more patients were recruited due to withdrawal (patients did not receive any treatment).

9 more patients were recruited to ensure enough power after excluding patients who were randomized but they withdrew from the study and did not receive any treatment (see periods section for details).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: within first 7 postoperative days

Postoperative kidney dysfunction using RIFLE diagnostic criteria was also assessed. Patients were assessed for risk for kidney dysfunction (RIFLE-R), injury to the kidney (RIFLE-I), failure of kidney function (RIFLE-F) using criteria based on only peak serum creatinine concentrations within the first seven postoperative days. Due to too few events, this outcome was redefined to risk (or worse) vs. no risk for this analysis. RIFLE classification criteria is listed below: Risk (RIFLE-R) Increase in serum creatinine x 1.5 from baseline Injury (RIFLE-I) Increase in serum creatinine x 2 from baseline Failure (RIFLE-F) Increase in serum creatinine x 3 from baseline Loss (RIFLE-L) Complete loss of kidney function \> 4 weeks End stage (RIFLE-E) End-stage kidney failure \> 3 months
