Perioperative renal function parameters and SAPS-II scores
| Levo OR | Levo ICU | Pvalue | |
|---|---|---|---|
| (n = 28) | (n = 18) | ||
| Preoperative creatinineplasma (mg/dl) | 1.19 ± 0.37 | 1.13 ± 0.26 | 0.753 |
| Preoperative eGFR (ml/min) | 73 ± 23 | 73 ± 21 | 0.928 |
| Preoperative diuretic treatment (%) | 21.4 | 38.9 | 0.343 |
| SAPS-II ICU admission | 47 ± 17 | 44 ± 16 | 0.566 |
| Incidence postoperative renal dysfunction (%) | 67.9 | 94.4* | 0.033 |
| Duration of RRT (hours) | 79 (35-332) | 272* (132-703) | 0.046 |
Postoperative renal dysfunction is defined as a creatinine plasma level > 2.0 mg/dl. Data are expressed as mean ± SD, median and quartiles or percentage. *indicate significant differences between groups. Levo OR/Levo ICU, see text for further details; OR, operating room; ICU, intensive care unit; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; RRT, renal replacement therapy.
