Santos MG, Pontes JPJ, Gonçalves Filho S, Lima RM, Thom MM, Módolo NSP, Ponce D, Navarro LH. Impact of colloids or crystalloids in renal function assessed by NGAL and KIM-1 after hysterectomy: randomized controlled trial. Braz J Anesthesiol 2021; 72:720-728. [PMID: 34848313 PMCID: PMC9660003 DOI: 10.1016/j.bjane.2021.10.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2021] [Revised: 10/20/2021] [Accepted: 10/30/2021] [Indexed: 12/01/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Hydroxyethyl starches are colloids used in fluid therapy that may reduce volume infusion compared with crystalloids, but they can affect renal function in critical care patients. This study aims to assess renal effects of starches using renal biomarkers in the perioperative setting. Methods This prospective, controlled, randomized study compared Hydroxyethyl starch 6% (HES) with Ringer's lactate (RL) in hysterectomy. Each episode of mean arterial pressure (MAP) below 60 mmHg guided the fluid replacement protocol. The RL group received 300 mL bolus of RL solution while the HES group received 150 mL of HES solution. All patients received RL (2 mL.kg−1.h−1) intraoperatively to replace insensible losses. Blood and urine samples were collected at three time points (preoperatively, 24 hours, and 40 days postoperatively) to assess urinary NGAL and KIM-1, as primary outcome, and other markers of renal function. Results Seventy patients were randomized and 60 completed the study. The RL group received a higher crystalloid volume (1,277 ± 812.7 mL vs. 630.4 ± 310.2 mL; p = 0.0002) with a higher fluid balance (780 ± 720 mL vs. 430 ± 440 mL; p = 0.03) and fluid overload (11.7% ± 10.4% vs. 7.0% ± 6.3%; p = 0.04) compared to the HES group. NGAL and KIM-1 did not differ between groups at each time point, however both biomarkers increased 24 hours postoperatively and returned to preoperative levels after 40 days in both groups. Conclusion HES did not increase renal biomarkers following open hysterectomy compared to RL. Moreover, HES provided better hemodynamic parameters using less volume, and reduced postoperative fluid balance and fluid overload.

Abstract
Background Lung protective ventilation with low tidal volume (TV) and increased positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can have unfavorable effects on the cardiovascular system. We aimed to investigate whether lung protective ventilation has adverse impact on hemodynamic, renal and hormonal variables. Methods In this randomized, single-blinded, placebo-controlled study, 24 patients scheduled for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy were included. Patients were equally randomized to receive either ventilation with a TV of 6 ml/IBW and PEEP of 10 cm H2O (LTV-h.PEEP) or ventilation with a TV of 10 ml/IBW and PEEP of 4 cm H2O (HTV-l.PEEP). Before, during and after surgery, hemodynamic variables were measured, and blood and urine samples were collected. Blood samples were analyzed for plasma concentrations of electrolytes and vasoactive hormones. Urine samples were analyzed for excretions of electrolytes and markers of nephrotoxicity. Results Comparable variables were found among the two groups, except for significantly higher postoperative levels of plasma brain natriuretic peptide (p = 0.033), albumin excretion (p = 0.012) and excretion of epithelial sodium channel (p = 0.045) in the LTV-h.PEEP ventilation group compared to the HTV-l.PEEP ventilation group. In the combined cohort, we found a significant decrease in creatinine clearance (112.0 [83.4;126.7] ml/min at baseline vs. 45.1 [25.4;84.3] ml/min during surgery) and a significant increase in plasma concentrations of renin, angiotensin II, and aldosterone. Conclusion Lung protective ventilation was associated with minor adverse hemodynamic and renal effects postoperatively. All patients showed a substantial but transient reduction in renal function accompanied by activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Trial registration ClinicalTrials, NCT02551341.

Br J Anaesth 2021; 127:556-568. [PMID: 34330414 DOI: 10.1016/j.bja.2021.06.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2020] [Revised: 05/17/2021] [Accepted: 06/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130 is a frequently used fluid to replace intravascular losses during surgery or trauma. In the past years, several trials performed in critically ill patients have raised questions regarding the safety of this product. Our aim in this meta-analysis was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 6% HES during surgery and in trauma. METHODS This systematic review and meta-analysis was registered at PROSPERO (CRD42018100379). We included 85 fully published articles from 1980 to June 2018 according to the protocol and three additional recent articles up to June 2020 in English, French, German, and Spanish reporting on prospective, randomised, and controlled clinical trials applying volume therapy with HES 130/0.4 or HES 130/0.42, including combinations with crystalloids, to patients undergoing surgery. Comparators were albumin, gelatin, and crystalloids only. A meta-analysis could not be performed for the two trauma studies as there was only one study that reported data on endpoints of interest. RESULTS Surgical patients treated with HES had lower postoperative serum creatinine (P<0.001) and showed no differences in renal dysfunction, renal failure, or renal replacement therapy. Although there was practically no further difference in the colloids albumin or gelatin, the use of HES improved haemodynamic stability, reduced need for vasopressors (P<0.001), and decreased length of hospital stay (P<0.001) compared with the use of crystalloids alone. CONCLUSIONS HES was shown to be safe and efficacious in the perioperative setting. Results of the present meta-analysis suggest that when used with adequate indication, a combination of intravenous fluid therapy with crystalloids and volume replacement with HES as colloid has clinically beneficial effects over using crystalloids only.

Abstract
Colloid solutions, both natural and synthetic, had been widely accepted as having superior volume expanding effects than crystalloids. Synthetic colloid solutions were previously considered at least as effective as natural colloids, as well as being cheaper and easily available. As a result, synthetic colloids (and HES in particular) were the preferred resuscitation fluid in many countries. In the past decade, several cascading events have called into question their efficacy and revealed their harmful effects. In 2013, the medicines authorities placed substantial restrictions on HES administration in people which has resulted in an overall decrease in their use. Whether natural colloids (such as albumin-containing solutions) should replace synthetic colloids remains inconclusive based on the current evidence. Albumin seems to be safer than synthetic colloids in people, but clear evidence of a positive effect on survival is still lacking. Furthermore, species-specific albumin is not widely available, while xenotransfusions with human serum albumin have known side effects. Veterinary data on the safety and efficacy of synthetic and natural colloids is limited to mostly retrospective evaluations or experimental studies with small numbers of patients (mainly dogs). Large, prospective, randomized, long-term outcome-oriented studies are lacking. This review focuses on advantages and disadvantages of synthetic and natural colloids in veterinary medicine. Adopting human guidelines is weighed against the particularities of our specific patient populations, including the risk-benefit ratio and lack of alternatives available in human medicine.

[PMID: 33771116 PMCID: PMC7995716 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-021-02310-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2020] [Accepted: 03/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Isotonic saline (IS) is widely used to secure perioperative cardiovascular stability. However, the high amount of chloride in IS can induce hyperchloremic acidosis. Therefore, IS is suspected to increase the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI). Biomarkers may have potential as indicators. Methods In a double-blinded, placebo-controlled study, 38 patients undergoing primary uncemented hip replacement were randomized to IS or PlasmaLyte (PL). Infusion was given during surgery as 15 ml/kg the first hour and 5 ml/kg the following two hours. Urinary samples were collected upon admission and the day after surgery. As surgery was initiated, urine was collected over the course of 4 h. Hereafter, another urine collection proceeded until the morning. Urine was analyzed for markers of AKI neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1). Arterious and venous blood samples for measurements of pH and plasma electrolytes including chloride (p-Cl) were collected as surgery was initiated, at the end of surgery and the following morning. Results IS induced an increase in p-Cl (111 ± 2 mmol/L after IS and 108 ± 3 after PL, p = 0.004) and a decrease in pH (7.39 ± 0.02 after IS and 7.43 ± 0.03 after PL, p = 0.001). Urinary NGAL excretion increased in both groups (ΔNGAL: 5.5 [4.1; 11.7] μg/mmol creatinine p = 0.004 after IS vs. 5.5 [2.1;9.4] μg/mmol creatinine after PL, p < 0.001). No difference was found between the groups (p = 0.839). Similarly, urinary KIM-1 excretion increased in both groups (ΔKIM-1: IS 115.8 [74.1; 156.2] ng/mmol creatinine, p < 0.001 vs. PL 152.4 [120.1; 307.9] ng/mmol creatinine, p < 0.001). No difference between the groups (p = 0.064). FENa increased (1.08 ± 0.52% after IS and 1.66 ± 1.15% after PL, p = 0.032). ENaC excretion was different within groups (p = 0.019). Conclusion A significantly higher plasma chloride and a lower pH was present in the group receiving isotonic saline. However, u-NGAL and u-KIM-1 increased significantly in both groups after surgery despite absence of changes in creatinine. These results indicate that surgery induced subclinical kidney injury. Also, the IS group had a delayed sodium excretion as compared to the PL group which may indicate that IS affects renal sodium excretion differently from PL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies of critically ill patients reported that fluid resuscitation with hydroxyethyl starch (HES) solutions damages the kidneys, but their use for surgical patients is debated. Because different HES preparations have different safety profiles, we sought to determine whether 6% third-generation HES 130/0.4 was associated with renal morbidity when used for surgical patients. METHODS We identified adults enrolled in a Japanese nationwide medical database who underwent surgery between 2014 and 2016, with HES 130/0.4 or without it (controls). These groups were balanced with propensity score matching in a 1:1 ratio without replacement by multivariable logistic regression with 36 covariates, including demographic characteristics, preoperative comorbidities, and anesthetic/surgical procedures. The primary outcome was the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients receiving intraoperative HES and controls. Secondary outcomes were assessing whether HES was associated with worsening AKI stage, the incidence of renal-replacement therapy (RRT), hospital length-of-stay, and in-hospital 30-day mortality. Tertiary outcomes include the use of vasoactive agents and the fluid requirement on the day of surgery. Comparative analysis was made with χ, Mann-Whitney U test, or the ordinal logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Of 76,048 patients in the database, 58,425 were eligible: 9542 received HES and 48,883 controls. Propensity score matching identified 8823 matched pairs. The incidence of AKI was 6.2% (548/8823) in the HES group and 5.6% (492/8823) in controls (odds ratio [OR], 1.12; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.99-1.27; P = .07). Compared to controls, HES was not associated with worsening AKI stage (OR, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.79-1.01; P = .08). The incidence of RRT was lower in the HES group than that in controls (0.2% vs 0.4%, respectively; OR, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.29-0.91; P = .02). Median [interquartile range] hospital stay was 1 day longer in the HES group (12 [8-21] vs 11 [7-20] days; P < .001), but in-hospital 30-day mortality did not differ between groups (0.5% vs 0.6%, respectively: OR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.56-1.24; P = .36). The use rate of vasoactive agents and the median net fluid requirement on the day of surgery were higher in the HES group (80.5% vs 70.0%: P < .001, 88.1 vs 73.6 mL/kg; P < .001, respectively) compared to controls. CONCLUSIONS The present study did not demonstrate that 6% HES 130/0.4 increased the incidence and the severity of postoperative AKI. It was associated with a lower incidence of RRT when used for surgical patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraoperative use of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) may increase the risk of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI). Data from large populations are lacking. We aimed to assess whether intraoperative administration of 6% HES 130/0.4 is associated with AKI in non-cardiac surgery. METHODS This retrospective study used the electronic records concerning elective abdominal, urologic, thoracic and peripheral vascular surgeries from 2010 to 2015. HES and non-HES patients were compared using a propensity score matching. Postoperative AKI, defined by stage 3 of the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) score, was the primary outcome. Because the use of HES markedly decreased in 2013, additional analyses, restricted to the 2010-2012 period, were also performed. RESULTS In total, 23,045, and 11,691 patients were included in the whole, and restricted periods, respectively. The reduction in HES use was not accompanied by any change in the incidence of AKI. Unadjusted association between HES and KDIGO 3 AKI was significant (OR [95% CI] of 2.13 [1.67, 2.71]). For the whole period, 6460 patients were matched. Odd ratios for KDIGO 3 and all-stage AKI when using HES (10.3±4.7mL.kg-1) were 1.20 (95% CI [0.74, 1.95]), and 1.21 (95% CI [0.95, 1.54]), respectively. There was no association with the initiation of renal replacement therapy or in-hospital mortality either. Similar results were found for the restricted period. CONCLUSION The intraoperative use of moderate doses of 6% HES 130/0.4 was not associated with increased risk of AKI. No conclusion can be drawn for higher doses of HES.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adverse effects of hydroxyethyl starches (HESs) have been verified in patients suffering from sepsis or kidney disease, but not in surgical patients at large. The investigation aimed to determine whether the use of HES 130/0.4 was associated with the incidence of acute postinterventional adverse events compared to Ringer's acetate alone in a perioperative setting. METHODS This propensity score matched, controlled observational study was performed in a single-centre university hospital. The perioperative data of 9085 patients were analyzed. Group matching was based on 13 categories including demographic data, type of procedure, and 5 preexisting comorbidities. Duration of procedure and intraoperative transfusion requirements were integrated in the matching process to reduce selection and indication bias. The primary outcome was incidence of postoperative kidney failure. Secondary outcomes were in-hospital mortality, fluid requirements, blood loss, hemodynamic stability, and the need for postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) treatment. RESULTS The administration of HES 130/0.4 was not associated with an increased frequency of postoperative kidney failure. In-hospital mortality (Ringer's acetate: 2.58%; HES 130/0.4: 2.68%) and the need for ICU care (Ringer's acetate: 30.5%; HES 130/0.4: 34.3%) did not differ significantly between groups. Significant intergroup differences were observed for mean blood loss (Ringer's acetate: 406 ± 821 mL; HES 130/0.4: 867 ± 1275 mL; P < .001) and median length of hospital stay (Ringer's acetate: 10.5 (5/17) days; HES 130/0.4: 12.0 (8/19) days; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS An association between intraoperative HES therapy and postoperative kidney failure was not observed in a mixed cohort of elective surgical patients. In addition, HES 130/0.4 was not associated with an increased morbidity or the need for ICU therapy in this propensity score matched study.

Abstract
Background Chloride is speculated to have nephrotoxic properties. In healthy subjects we tested the hypothesis that acute chloride loading with 3% saline would induce kidney injury, which could be prevented with the loop-diuretic furosemide. Methods The study was designed as a randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover study. Subjects were given 3% saline accompanied by either placebo or furosemide. Before, during and after infusion of 3% saline we measured glomerular filtration rate (GFR), fractional excretion of sodium (FENa), urinary chloride excretion (u-Cl), urinary excretions of aquaporin-2 (u-AQP2) and epithelial sodium channels (u-ENaCγ), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (u-NGAL) and kidney injury molecule-1 (u-KIM-1) as marker of kidney injury and vasoactive hormones: renin (PRC), angiotensin II (p-AngII), aldosterone (p-Aldo) and arginine vasopressin (p-AVP). Four days prior to each of the two examinations subjects were given a standardized fluid and diet intake. Results After 3% saline infusion u-NGAL and KIM-1 excretion increased slightly (u-NGAL: 17 ± 24 during placebo vs. -7 ± 23 ng/min during furosemide, p = 0.039, u-KIM-1: 0.21 ± 0.23 vs − 0.06 ± 0.14 ng/ml, p < 0.001). The increase in u-NGAL was absent when furosemide was given simultaneously, and the responses in u-NGAL were not significantly different from placebo control. Furosemide changed responses in u-KIM-1 where a delayed increase was observed. GFR was increased by 3% saline but decreased when furosemide accompanied the infusion. U-Na, FENa, u-Cl, and u-osmolality increased in response to saline, and the increase was markedly pronounced when furosemide was added. FEK decreased slightly during 3% saline infusion, but simultaneously furosemide increased FEK. U-AQP2 increased after 3% saline and placebo, and the response was further increased by furosemide. U-ENaCγ decreased to the same extent after 3% saline infusion in the two groups. 3% saline significantly reduced PRC, p-AngII and p-Aldo, and responses were attenuated by furosemide. p-AVP was increased by 3% saline, with a larger increase during furosemide. Conclusion This study shows minor increases in markers of kidney injury after 3% saline infusion Furosemide abolished the increase in NGAL and postponed the increase in u-KIM-1. The clinical importance of these findings needs further investigation. Trial registration (EU Clinical trials register number: 2015–002585-23, registered on 5th November 2015)

What We Already Know about This Topic
What This Article Tells Us That Is New
Background
Crystalloid solutions leave the circulation quickly, whereas colloids remain for hours, thus promoting hemodynamic stability. However, colloids are expensive and promote renal toxicity in critical care patients. This study tested the hypothesis that goal-directed colloid administration during elective abdominal surgery decreases 30-day major complications more than goal-directed crystalloid administration.
Methods
In this parallel-arm double-blinded multicenter randomized trial, adults having moderate- to high-risk open and laparoscopically assisted abdominal surgery with general anesthesia were randomly assigned to Doppler-guided intraoperative volume replacement with 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 (n = 523) or lactated Ringer’s solution (n = 534). The primary outcome was a composite of serious postoperative cardiac, pulmonary, infectious, gastrointestinal, renal, and coagulation complications that were assessed with a generalized estimating equation multivariate model. The primary safety outcome was a change in serum creatinine concentration up to 6 months postoperatively, compared to baseline concentrations.
Results
A total of 1,057 patients were included in the analysis. Patients assigned to crystalloid received a median [quartile 1, quartile 3] amount of 3.2 l [2.3, 4.4] of crystalloid, and patients assigned to colloid received 1.0 l [0.5, 1.5] of colloid and 1.8 l [1.2, 2.4] of crystalloid. The estimated intention-to-treat common effect relative risk for the primary composite was 0.90 for colloids versus crystalloids (95% CI: 0.65 to 1.23, P = 0.51), and 18% (91 of 523) of colloid patients and 20% (103 of 534) of crystalloid patients incurred at least one component of the primary outcome composite. There was no evidence of renal toxicity at any time.
Conclusions
Doppler-guided intraoperative hydroxyethyl starch administration did not significantly reduce a composite of serious complications. However, there was also no indication of renal or other toxicity.

Abstract
Background: Synthetic colloids, both starches and gelatins, are commonly used as intravascular fluid replacements on account of increased vascular persistence. The safety on renal outcomes during perioperative use is poorly understood. Aims: We evaluated renal outcomes of hydroxyethyl starch 6% (HES) and gelatins 4% (G) in patients undergoing elective abdominal surgery. The primary outcome was serum creatinine measurements at baseline, 12 h, 36 h, and 1 week postoperatively (T0, T12, T36, and D7). The secondary outcomes were measurements of prothrombin time (PT), international normalized ratio (INR), fibrinogen, and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) at baseline, 12 h, and 36 h postoperatively. Setting and Design: A prospective randomized study was conducted at a tertiary care institute. Materials and Methods: Seven-five adult patients received either HES (Group H) or gelatin (Group G) at 20-ml/kg body weight or only crystalloids (Group C) during surgery. Statistical tests used were one-way ANOVA, Student's t-test, Pearson correlation method, and Chi-square test. Results: Serum creatinine assessed at T0, T12, T36, and D7 was comparable between the three groups. PT/INR and aPTT showed no significant increase in values of T12 and T36 in comparison to T0. Fibrinogen level was significantly higher in Group C at T12 and T36. Intraoperative vasopressor use, need for product transfusion, length of intensive care unit stay, and return of bowel function were similar between the three groups. Conclusions: Intraoperative use of HES (130/0.4) or gelatin (4%) at 20-ml/kg body weight was not associated with renal dysfunction or altered PT and aPTT in adult patients undergoing elective abdominal major surgeries.

Abstract
Editor’s Perspective
What We Already Know about This Topic
What This Article Tells Us That Is New
Background
The multicenter randomized Colloids versus Crystalloids for the Resuscitation of the Critically Ill (CRISTAL) trial was designed to test whether colloids altered mortality compared to crystalloids in the resuscitation of intensive care unit patients with hypovolemic shock. This preplanned analysis tested the same hypothesis in the subgroup of surgical patients.
Methods
The CRISTAL trial prospectively defined patients as critically ill surgical patients whenever they underwent emergency or scheduled surgery immediately before or within 24 h of intensive care unit admission and had hypovolemic shock. The primary outcome measure was death by day 28. Secondary outcome measures included death by day 90, the need for renal replacement therapy, or the need for fresh frozen plasma transfusion.
Results
There were 741 critically ill surgical patients, 356 and 385 in the crystalloid and colloid arm, respectively. Median (interquartile range) age was 66 (52 to 76) yr, and 484 (65.3%) patients were male. Surgery was unscheduled in 543 (73.3%) cases. Mortality by day 28 did not significantly differ for crystalloids 84 (23.6%) versus colloids 100 (26%; adjusted odds ratio, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.61 to 1.21; P = 0.768). Death by day 90 (111 [31.2%] vs. 122 [31.7%]; adjusted odds ratio, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.70 to 1.33; P = 0.919) did not significantly differ between groups. Renal replacement therapy was required for 42 (11.8%) patients in the crystalloids arm versus 49 (12.7%) in the colloids arm (P = 0.871).
Conclusions
The authors found no survival benefit when comparing crystalloids to colloids in critically ill surgical patients.

Abstract
Background Etiology of acute kidney disease (AKD) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) was considered as multifactorial. However, the role of early postoperative volume supplement in AKD rate has not been investigated. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence and risk factors of AKD in patients with early volume supplement following TKA. Methods This was a retrospective study with 458 patients who underwent unilateral TKA. All the patients received 6% tetrastarch, 7.5ml/kg, early in the postoperative period. Postoperative AKD was defined as the postoperative creatinine level ≥ 1.5 times compared with preoperative data. Potential variables associated with AKD were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression model to identify the AKD risk factors in TKA patients after early postoperative volume supplement. Results The AKD rate was 3.3% (15 patients) in all patients. Age (OR = 1.09; P = .031) and coronary artery disease (CAD) (OR = 3.63; P = .034) were associated with increased risk of development of postoperative AKD. Other comorbidities as hypertension, diabetes, and CKD were not statistically significant risk factors. Conclusion Our study demonstrated that age and CAD were independent risk factors of AKD in TKA patients. However, the common risk factors as hypertension, diabetes, and CKD were not significantly associated with AKD after TKA if early postoperative supplement of tetrastarch is administered.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In this review, we discuss the latest updates on perioperative acute kidney injury (AKI) and the specific considerations that are relevant to different surgeries and patient populations. RECENT FINDINGS AKI diagnosis is constantly evolving. New biomarkers detect AKI early and shed a light on the possible cause of AKI. Hypotension, even for a short duration, is associated with perioperative AKI. The debate on the deleterious effects of chloride-rich solutions is still far from conclusion. Remote ischemic preconditioning is showing promising results in the possible prevention of perioperative AKI. No definite data show a beneficiary effect of statins, fenoldepam, or sodium bicarbonate in preventing AKI. SUMMARY Perioperative AKI is prevalent and associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Considering the lack of effective preventive or therapeutic interventions, this review focuses on perioperative AKI: measures for early diagnosis, defining risks and possible mechanisms, and summarizing current knowledge for intraoperative fluid and hemodynamic management to reduce risk of AKI.

Abstract
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) preserves patients' lives during open heart surgery by providing sufficient oxygen delivery and blood supply to vital organs. However, previous studies have suggested that the interaction of hemodilution and vascular hyperpermeability induces tissue edema and an inflammatory response during CPB. In this study, we hypothesized the suppression of the systemic inflammatory response and tissue edema during CPB by a plasma substitute (hydroxyethyl starch [HES]). Rats (450-500 g) were divided into a SHAM group (n = 5), a Ringer's acetate CPB group (n = 7), and an HES CPB group (n = 7). In the Ringer's acetate group, the CPB circuit was primed with Ringer's acetate solution, and in the HES CPB group, it was primed with HES formulation (6% HES 130/0.4). Blood samples were collected before (baseline) and 30, 60, 90 and 120 min after initiation of CPB. Plasma cytokine levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-10, and biochemical markers (lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, liver-type fatty acid-binding protein, and colloid osmotic pressure [COP]) were measured before and 30, 60, 90, and 120 min after the initiation of CPB. In the Ringer's acetate CPB group, the inflammatory cytokines and biochemical markers increased significantly during CPB compared with the SHAM group, but such increases were significantly suppressed in the HES CPB group. In addition, during CPB, it was possible to preserve normal plasma COP in the HES CPB group. The data suggest that 6% HES 130/0.4 is effective for suppressing the inflammatory response during CPB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While hydroxyethyl starch (HES) solutions are not recommended any longer in critically ill patients, data on efficacy and safety during surgery are still limited. METHODS In a randomized controlled trial 63 patients were assigned to receive 10% HES (130/0.42), 6% HES (130/0.42), or crystalloid within a goal-directed hemodynamic algorithm during pancreatic surgery. The primary endpoints were intraoperative volume of HES and time until fully on oral diet. RESULTS The trial was terminated early upon recommendation of an independent data monitoring committee due to futility for efficacy at a planned interim analysis. The intraoperative volume of HES was not different between 10% and 6% HES group (2000 [1500; 2250] vs 2250 [1750; 3000] mL, P=.059). However, considering an inhomogeneity of patient's body weight between HES groups, there was a significant difference in intraoperative volume of HES between 10% and 6% group after adjusting for patient's body weight (24.0 [21.6; 28.3] vs 33.3 [28.2; 46.2] mL kg BW, P = .002). Patients in the HES groups required less additional fluid after dose limit than those in the crystalloid group, resulting in lower intraoperative net balances. The time until fully on oral diet was not different between all study groups. Applying KDIGO oliguria criterion, patients receiving 10% HES had more AKI compared to patients receiving crystalloids (86.7 vs 45.0%, P = .010), whereas those receiving 6% HES and crystalloids did not differ (58.8 vs 45.0%, P = .253). Further explorative analyses using a gray-zone approach indicated that patients receiving 6% HES below 18.8 mL kg will not experience AKI with near certainty. CONCLUSIONS After adjusting for patient's body weight, patients receiving 6% HES required more volume of HES than patients receiving 10% HES. The relation of 140% represents very well the volume effect of a hyperoncotic 10% HES solution. Nonetheless, both HES solutions were similarly effective in reducing intraoperative fluid administration compared with crystalloid, but this did not result into differences in gastrointestinal outcomes. Patients receiving 10% HES showed an increased rate of AKI, whereas those receiving 6% HES and crystalloid did not differ. However, 6% HES should not be applied beyond 18 mL kg during surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The carrier of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) may play a critical role in kidney injury in fluid resuscitation. This study aimed mainly to compare effects of pyruvate-enriched saline with normal saline (NS) and acetate Ringer's (AR) solution as a carrier in HES130/0.4 on kidney function in rats subjected to severe burns. METHODS Using a lethal burn model, 140 rats were randomly allocated in seven groups (n = 20): sham group (group S); no fluid after burn (group N); burn resuscitated with NS (group NS); burn resuscitated with pyruvate saline (group PS); burn resuscitated with AR plus pyruvate-HES (group SP); burn resuscitated with AR plus acetate-HES (group SA), and burn resuscitated with AR plus NS-HES (group SN). A low volume (18.75 mL·kg-1 during 12 h) of HES130/0.4 was infused with the ratio of 1:1 to crystalloids. Renal surface blood flow, blood creatinine and blood urea nitrogen, early sensitive indicators of kidney function: alpha-1 microglobulin, cystatin-C, and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin in blood and urine, and kidney tissue water contents were determined. Renal histopathological alterations with Paller scores were also measured at 8 h and 24 h after burn (n = 10), respectively. RESULTS The results showed in a comparable manner that group SP was the best in three HES groups and group PS was superior to group NS in renal preservation; group SP appeared significantly beneficial compared with group PS in renal surface blood flow, cystatin-C, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, water contents, and Paller scores at 8-h or both time points after burn, respectively (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The carrier of HES130/0.4 played a crucial role in kidney injury in fluid resuscitation of rats subjected to severe burns. Pyruvate-enriched HES130/0.4 was superior and HES130/0.4, per se, might be not renocytotoxic, but renoprotective. Further studies are warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) was part of "triple-H" therapy for prophylaxis and therapy of vasospasm in patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). The European Medicines Agency restricted the use of HES in 2013 due to an increase of renal failure in critically ill patients receiving HES compared to crystalloid fluids. The occurrence of renal insufficiency in patients with SAH due to HES is still uncertain. The purpose of our study was to evaluate whether there was an association with renal impairment in patients receiving HES after subarachnoid haemorrhage. METHODS Medical records of all non-traumatic SAH patients treated at the Departments of Anaesthesiology and Neurosurgery, University Hospital of Leipzig, Germany, between January 2009 and December 2014 were analysed. Patients received either HES 6% and/or 10% (HES group, n = 183) or exclusively crystalloids for fluid therapy (Crystalloid group, n = 93). Primary outcome was the incidence of acute kidney injury. RESULTS The study groups had similar characteristics except for initial SAPS scores, incidence of vasospasm and ICU length of stay. Patients receiving HES fulfilled significantly more often SIRS (systemic inflammatory response syndrome) criteria. 24.6% (45/183) of the patients in the HES group had acute kidney injury (KDIGO 1-3) at any time during their ICU stay compared to 26.9% (25/93) in the crystalloid group (p = 0.679). Only few patients needed renal replacement therapy with no significant difference between groups (Crystalloid group: 4.3%; HES group: 2.2%; p = 0.322). The incidence of vasospasm was increased in the HES group when compared to the crystalloid group (33.9% vs. 17.2%; p = 0.004). CONCLUSION In the presented series of patients with non-traumatic SAH we found no significant association between HES therapy and the incidence of acute kidney injury. Treatment without HES did not worsen patient outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of artificial colloids has declined in critical care, whereas they are still used in perioperative medicine. Little is known about the nephrotoxic potential in noncritically ill patients during routine surgery. The objective of this trial was to evaluate the influences of albumin 5% and balanced hydroxyethyl starch 6% (130/0.4) on renal function and kidney injury. METHODS One hundred urologic patients undergoing elective cystectomy were randomly assigned for this prospective, single-blinded, controlled study with two parallel groups to receive either albumin 5% or balanced hydroxyethyl starch 6% (130/0.4) as the only perioperative colloid. The primary endpoint was the ratio of serum cystatin C between the last visit at day 90 and the first preoperative visit. Secondary endpoints were estimated glomerular filtration rate and serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin until the third postoperative day and risk, injury, failure, loss, and end-stage renal disease criteria at postoperative days 3 and 90. RESULTS The median cystatin C ratio was 1.11 (interquartile range, 1.01 to 1.23) in the albumin and 1.08 (interquartile range, 1.00 to 1.20) in the hydroxyethyl starch group (median difference = 0.03; 95% CI, -0.09 to 0.08; P = 0.165). Also, there were no significant differences concerning serum cystatin C concentrations; estimated glomerular filtration rate; risk, injury, failure, loss, and end-stage renal disease criteria; and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin. Infusion requirements, transfusion rates, and perioperative hemodynamics were similar in both groups. CONCLUSIONS With respect to renal function and kidney injury, this study indicates that albumin 5% and balanced hydroxyethyl starch 6% have comparable safety profiles in noncritically ill patients undergoing major surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Despite serious renal side effects in critically ill adult patients, artificial colloids are still fundamental components of perioperative fluid therapy in infants and children, although the impact of 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES) and 4% gelatin (GEL) on renal function during pediatric surgery has not been identified yet. AIM To determine the impact of high doses of artificial colloids on renal function, we conducted an experimental animal study and hypothesized that neither the infusion of HES nor of GEL would have a serious impact on renal function. METHODS Fifteen sedated piglets were randomly assigned to receive an infusion of either 50 ml · kg(-1) HES or GEL, or a balanced electrolyte solution (crystalloid group). Before and 1 week after infusion, serum and urine renal function tests were recorded and renal biopsies were taken. RESULTS Serum and urine renal function tests revealed no increase after administration of HES and GEL, and only a discrete increase in serum creatinine (median 9.8 μmol · l(-1), 95% CI 4.0-19.1) in the crystalloid group. Histopathological examination indicated a sparsely, multifocal infiltration of mononuclear cells in all groups and an unspecific pyelectasia of one animal in the GEL group. CONCLUSIONS After high doses of HES or GEL in piglets, no relevant impact on renal function could be found. These results confirm that AKI after HES or GEL is very unlikely in hemodynamically stable perioperative patients with normal renal function.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The decision of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) against the use of hydroxyethyl starch (HES)-based volume replacement solutions in critically ill patients has led to a general uncertainty when dealing with HES-based solutions, even though HES-containing solutions can still be used for the treatment of hypovolaemia caused by acute (sudden) blood loss. This review discusses current evidence of the intraoperative use of HES-based solutions. RECENT FINDINGS HES solutions are often criticized for possible side-effects on the kidney, the coagulation system or tissue storage. Relevant differences exist between modern 6% HES 130/0.4 and older generation of starches. Because of pathophysiological differences between elective surgery and critical illness, the evidence on renal injury and coagulation impairment with HES administration cannot be generalized. Current data suggest that there is no clinically relevant impact of 6% HES 130/0.4 administration on perioperative renal function and coagulation. Over-resuscitation is a frequent problem associated with adverse outcomes. Due to the higher volume effect, fluid overload with HES is probably more harmful than with crystalloids, whereas goal-directed use of HES may be able to reduce intraoperative fluid accumulation and overload. SUMMARY The use of 6% HES 130/0.4 in elective surgery patients is associated with reduced fluid accumulation and no clinically relevant difference in bleeding or the rate of acute kidney injury as compared with crystalloid use alone. Current data do not allow a conclusion on mortality. As they provide no benefit, older starch preparations should not be used.

Abstract
The importance of the safety of healthy living liver donors is widely recognized during donor hepatectomy which is associated with blood loss, transfusion, and subsequent post-operative morbidity. Although the low central venous pressure (CVP) technique can still be effective, it may not be advantageous concerning the safety of healthy donors undergoing hepatectomy. Emerging evidence suggests that stroke volume variation (SVV), a simple and useful index for fluid responsiveness and preload status in various clinical situations, can be applied as a guide for fluid management to reduce blood loss during living donor hepatectomy. Synthetic colloid solutions are also associated with serious adverse events such as the use of renal replacement therapy and transfusion in critically ill or septic patients. However, it is uncertain whether the intra-operative use of colloid solution is associated with similarly adverse effects in patients undergoing living donor hepatectomy. In this review article we discuss the recent issues regarding the low CVP technique and the high SVV method, i.e., maintaining 10%-20% of SVV, for fluid management in order to reduce blood loss during living donor hepatectomy. In addition, we briefly discuss the effects of intra-operative colloid or crystalloid administration for surgical rather than septic or critically ill patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although hydroxyethyl starch (HES) is commonly used as an intravascular volume expander in surgical patients, recent studies suggest that it may increase the risk of renal failure in critically ill patients. We hypothesized that patients undergoing radical prostatectomy and receiving HES would be more likely to develop markers of renal failure, such as increasing urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (u-NGAL), creatinine clearance (C(crea)), and decreasing urine output (UO). METHODS In a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study, 40 patients referred for radical prostatectomy received either 6% HES 130/0.4 or saline 0.9%; 7.5 mL/kg during the first hour of surgery and 5 mL/kg in the following hours; u-NGAL, urine albumin, C(crea), UO, arterial blood pressure, and plasma concentrations of creatinine, renin, angiotensin II, aldosterone, and vasopressin were measured before, during, and after surgery. RESULTS Thirty-six patients completed the study. u-NGAL, C(crea), UO, plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, p-creatinine, urine albumin, and arterial blood pressure were the same in both groups. Blood loss was higher in the HES group (HES 1250 vs saline 750 mL), while p-albumin was reduced to a significantly lower level. P-renin and p-angiotensin-II increased in both groups, whereas p-aldosterone and p-vasopressin increased significantly in the saline group. CONCLUSIONS We found no evidence of nephrotoxicity after infusion of 6% HES 130/0.4 in patients undergoing prostatectomy with normal preoperative renal function. Hemodynamic stability and infused fluid volume were the same in both groups. We observed an increased blood loss in the group given 6% HES 130/0.4.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether the perioperative use of hydroxyethyl starch 6% and albumin 5% in elective joint arthroplasties are associated with an increased risk for perioperative complications. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study of population based data between 2006 and 2013. SETTING Data from 510 different hospitals across the United States participating in the Premier Perspective database. PARTICIPANTS 1,051,441 patients undergoing elective total hip and knee arthroplasties. EXPOSURES Perioperative fluid resuscitation with hydroxyethyl starch 6% or albumin 5%, or neither. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Acute renal failure and thromboembolic, cardiac, and pulmonary complications. RESULTS Compared with patients who received neither colloid, perioperative fluid resuscitation with hydroxyethyl starch 6% or albumin 5% was associated with an increased risk of acute renal failure (odds ratios 1.23 (95% confidence interval 1.13 to 1.34) and 1.56 (1.36 to 1.78), respectively) and most other complications. A recent decrease in hydroxyethyl starch 6% use was noted, whereas that of albumin 5% increased. CONCLUSIONS Similar to studies in critically ill patients, we showed that use of hydroxyethyl starch 6% was associated with an increased risk of acute renal failure and other complications in the elective perioperative orthopedic setting. This increased risk also applied to albumin 5%. These findings raise questions regarding the widespread use of these colloids in elective joint arthroplasty procedures.
