Abstract

Ischemic reperfusion injury is an important cause of renal dysfunction after major vascular surgery and increases postoperative morbidity and mortality. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of statins on renal function in patients at high risk for renal dysfunction, that is, those who underwent suprarenal aortic cross clamping-declamping. Seventy-seven patients (28 statin users, 57 men; mean age 69 +/- 8 years) with normal preoperative renal function requiring suprarenal aortic cross clamping-declamping during vascular surgery from 1995 to 2005 were studied. Creatinine levels were obtained before surgery and on days 1, 2, 3, 7, and 30 after surgery. An analysis-of-variance model for repeated measurements was applied to compare creatinine levels between statin users and nonusers, with adjustment for clamping time and blood loss. There were no differences in baseline clinical characteristics, preoperative creatinine levels (0.93 vs 0.96 mg/dl, p = 0.59), and glomerular filtration rate (79 vs 73 ml/min, p = 0.1). Postoperative creatinine levels during the 30 days after surgery were significantly lower in statin users than in nonusers (analysis-of-variance p <0.01, 1.17 vs 1.98 mg/dl). Postoperative hemodialysis wa...Continue Reading

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
