title: [Effects of enflurane, isoflurane, and sevoflurane on renal tubular functions].
abstract: Twenty-seven patients without renal disease were divided randomly into three groups of each nine patients. Each group received either enflurane, isoflurane or sevoflurane. The renal tubular functions were examined during anesthesia and on the first postoperative day. By inhalation of 1.49 MAC hours of enflurane, 2.17 MAC hours of isoflurane or 1.29 MAC hours of sevoflurane, creatinine clearance, Na excretion rate, urine beta 2-microglobulin and urine N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase showed no significant changes during anesthesia and the during postoperative period among anesthetic agents used. These results indicate that enflurane, isoflurane or sevoflurane does not affect renal tubular function specifically under anesthesia when each was given for less than four hours.
