Abstract
Background
Kidney injury is a complication among children undergoing liver transplantation (pLTx). Cystatin C serum concentration seems to be superior to creatinine-based determination of kidney injury in adults and children. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technology provides non-invasive and real-time measurement of renal tissue oxygenation. Here, we compared renal tissue oximetry (rSrO2) with conventional diagnostic criteria cystatin C and creatinine concentration in children undergoing pLTx.
Material/Methods
rSrO2 was measured intraoperatively in children undergoing pLTx over the left kidney, and was statistically compared with pre- and postoperative serum creatinine and cystatin C concentrations.
Results
rSrO2 was affected by hemoglobin concentration, bilirubin concentration, and FiO2. Statistical analysis demonstrated that rSrO2 was significantly reduced in children with preoperative pathologic increased cystatin C concentrations compared to children without (63.7±4.3 vs. 53.4±4.9, p<0.05). We did not detect a significant difference in rSrO2 between children who developed postoperative renal impairment, either determined by increased postoperative cystatin C concentration, creatinine concentration, or the pRIFLE criteria. Intraoperative increase or decrease in rSrO2 did not predict the development of postoperative kidney injury.
Conclusions
In children with liver failure undergoing pLTx, a preoperative decrease in rSrO2 indicates compromised renal function. However, intraoperative rSrO2 is not predictive of postoperative kidney injury.
