Brief Summary

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a common and serious post operative complication and may occur in up to 50% of all patients undergoing cardiac surgery and is associated with 8% mortality rate compared with 0.9% in non-affected patients and remains a major factor for post surgery adverse outcomes. Early interventions to prevent postoperative AKI can help decreasing morbidity and mortality in these patients. Using cardiopulmonary bypass during cardiac surgery triggers systemic inflammatory response and recruits pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor, interleukin -10 (IL-10) and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) accompanying with production of free oxygen radicals which provokes oxidative stress in the milieu of ischemic reperfusion injury. Pentoxifylline as a non-specific phosphodiesterase inhibitor, can suppress the production of some factors of inflammatory response and oxidative stress, probably prevent post surgery AKI with these mechanisms.

Detailed Description

This is a double blind randomized multicenter clinical trial, enrolling 100 consecutive patients undergoing elective Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery (CABG). Patients randomly and within concealment method divided into two groups, one to receive oral pentoxifylline 400 mg every 8 hours from three days before surgery and the other group received placebo. All the intubation , surgery and weaning protocols were the same.
