Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Main Objective: To compare the effects on renal function of Humanalbumin (HA) with those of Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) when administered for perioperative volume replacement in patients undergoing cystectomy aiming to demonstrate superiority of HA over HES.;Secondary Objective: To explore the influence of the HA vs. HES on other lab-chemical and clinical parameters, hospital and ICU stay, acute kidney injury, and pruritus.;Primary end point(s): Ratio of Cystatin C measured in serum at day 90 relative to the pre-operative value;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: day 90
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Secondary end point(s): • Incidence of acute kidney injury as defined by RIFLE criteria (in hos-pital and in mid-term (3 months))<br>• Relative change of calculated GFR (by Cystatin C) up to the third postoperative day<br>• Glykokalix shedding (syndecan-1, heparan sulfate, hyaluronan) at days 0, 1, and 3<br>• Glomerular damage (NGAL) at days 0, 1, 3 and 90<br>• Length of ICU and hospital stay<br>• Necessity and duration of renal replacement therapy<br>• Presence of pruritus at day 90<br>;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: days 0, 1, 3 and 90
