The serum Cr and BUN levels in the groups.

Notes: The preoperative serum Cr (A) and BUN (B) levels were similar between the groups (P > 0.05), but the postoperative levels were significantly higher in each group (P < 0.05). The postoperative serum Cr (A) and BUN (B) levels in Group DQG were significantly lower than Group GA (P < 0.05). However, the postoperative levels did not differ significantly between Groups QG and GA, as well as between Groups QG and DQG (P > 0.05). The data were given as mean ± SD. A P-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Data were compared by one-way ANOVA among groups and post hoc pairwise comparison of the groups. Group GA, GA alone; Group QG, SQLB with 30 mL of 0.25% ropivacaine and GA; Group DQG, SQLB with 30 mL of 0.25% ropivacaine plus 1 μg/kg DEX and GA.

Abbreviations: GA, general anesthesia; SQLB, subcostal anterior quadratus lumborum block; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; Cr, creatinine; DEX, dexmedetomidine.
