title: [Changes in urinary prostaglandins during cardiopulmonary bypass in man].
abstract: We measured urinary and plasma levels of thromboxane B2 (TXB2), 6-keto PGF1 alpha and urinary NAG during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and studied their clinical significance. Subjects studied were 10 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft. Urinary and plasma levels of TXB2 and 6-keto PGF1 alpha increased during CPB. However, predictive plasma levels of TXB2 and 6-keto PGF1 alpha, calculated by urinary excretion, were higher than actual plasma levels. This result suggests that the kidney produces TXA2 and PGI2. Significant correlation (r = 0.87, P less than 0.01) was observed between NAG and TXB2 during CPB. The results suggest that TXA2 impairs the function of the renal urinary tubules.
