Abstract :
acute kidney injury (aki) is a common complication after coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg) surgery and can be linked to the increased morbidity and mortality. therefore, in the present study, the effect of preoperative administration of acetazolamide was evaluated to investigate whether it could prevent occurrence of post-operative aki after cabg surgery. in this randomized controlled clinical trial, 130 patients who were candidates to undergo elective cabg surgery from january 21, 2020 to february 8, 2021 were randomly allocated to intervention group (receiving 500 mg of acetazolamide orally 2 h preoperatively) and control group. the patients were evaluated for aki based on the kidney disease- improving global outcomes (kdigo) criteria based on their serum creatinine (scr) level and urine output until 7 days postoperatively. there was no significant difference in baseline demographics between the two groups. the total incidence of aki was measured as 43%. analysis of post-operative aki incidence showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.860). mean post-operative scr level on day 1 was significantly higher in the acetazolamide group (p = 0.036). a significant difference was found in length of hospitalization stay between the groups, which was higher in the control group (p = 0.006). our results did not demonstrate a significant protective effect of acetazolamide on incidence of post-operative aki in the patients undergone elective on-pump cabg surgery.
