About this trial

This is an interventional prevention trial for Renal Failure focused on measuring renal failure, cardiopulmonary bypass

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 80 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients undergoing surgery on their aortic arch, ascending aorta, or having aortic valve or mitral valve surgery
  • Baseline MDRD (modification of diet in renal disease) calculated GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate) 30-90 ml/min.
  • Signed Informed Consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Age <18 or >80
  • Ejection Fraction <30%.
  • Presence of endocarditis or other infection.
  • Presence or anticipated use of an intra-aortic balloon pump.
  • History of an organ transplant.
  • History of an adverse reaction to nesiritide.
  • Surgery performed without cardiopulmonary bypass.
  • Receiving Aprotinin
  • Dopamine administered in doses <5 mcg /kg min.
  • Women of child bearing potential or pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Participation in any other investigational trial
  • Jehovah Witness
  • Bleeding Disorder

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure Neutrophils to Measure Kidney Injury
0.35 mL of whole blood from each patient was applied to a microfluidics chip to isolate neutrophils. Total RNA was subsequently isolated and gene expression (for all genes listed below) was measured with an Affymetrix gene chip. Data was normalized using RMA (Robust multi-array average) and expressed as log2 expression.
The Examine and Measure Cytokines to Measure Kidney Injury
Serial measurement of serum cytokine profiles were measured with multiplex Luminex plates that enable the simultaneous measurement of 23 cytokines.
The Examine and Measure Endothelin-1 to Measure Kidney Injury
Serial measurements of Endothelin-1 levels were measured to determine if natriuretic peptides exert their renal protective effects by preserving renal afferent arteriole flow by antagonizing the vasoconstrictive effects of Endothelin-1.
The Examine and Measure Urinary NGAL to Measure Kidney Injury
Urinary NGAL,a biomarker for kidney injury was measured.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This project evaluates whether nesiritide, human recombinant brain natriuretic peptide, confers renal protection during cardiovascular surgery by attenuating the inflammatory response.
Detailed Description
This will be a randomized, prospective blinded pilot study comparing nesiritide to placebo in patients undergoing aortic arch, ascending aorta, aortic valve or mitral valve surgery with baseline GFR 30-90ml/min. Patients were randomized to either placebo or nesiritide (administered prophylactically starting in the operating room prior to incision at 0.01 mcg/kg /minute with no bolus and continued for 48 hours).
