Arms & Interventions
N-acetylcysteine
N-acetylcysteine bolus of 150 mg/kg in 250 mL of 5% glucose over 15 mins, followed by continuous intravenous infusion of 50 mg/kg in 250 mL of 5% glucose over 4 hrs, then 100 mg/kg in 1000 ml of 5% glucose over 20 hrs
Intervention: N-acetylcysteine (Drug)
Glucose 5%
equivalent volume over the same period.
Intervention: placebo (Drug)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Absolute change in serum creatinine from baseline to peak level
Time Frame: within 5 days after surgery
Secondary Outcomes
- the relative change in serum creatinine.(the first five postoperative days)
