Public title Protection against acute renal failure following cardiac surgery
Scientific title
Acronym N/A

Patient information material
Target number of participants 1100
Interventions 1100 patients undergoing cardiac surgery with the use of CPB will be allocated randomly to one of four groups. The administration of the allocated intervention will be as follows:

1. Group 1: dopamine 3 mg/kg/min intravenous infusion from induction for 24 hours
2. Group 2: frusemide 2 mg/h intravenous infusion from induction for 24 hours
3. Group 3: mannitol 0.5 g/kg in the CPB circuit
4. Group 4: control - no intervention

Anaesthetic, cardiopulmonary bypass and postoperative regimes will be standardised to current departmental protocols. Serum creatinine will be measured pre- and post-operatively at two and five days. A 5 ml urine sample will be taken from the patient's catheter bag at induction of anaesthesia and immediately at the end of the operation. This will be aliquoted into two polypropylene tubes and frozen to -20°C prior to analysis. Strict records will be kept of additional dopamine, frusemide and other diuretic requirement during the study period.
Primary outcome measure(s) 1. Oliguria, defined as a urine output of less than 0.5 ml/kg/h for two consecutive hours, or less than 400 ml urine over any 24 hour period postoperatively. In addition, the need for frusemide or dopamine to maintain adequate urine output
2. Creatinine change, an increase of 50% from the baseline creatinine (i.e. a 33% reduction in Glomerular Filtration Rate [GFR])
3. Glomerular permeability (monitored by urinary albumin excretion)
4. Renal replacement therapy
5. Death
Secondary outcome measure(s) Not provided at time of registration
