title: [Incidence and prognosis of acute renal failure after cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation].
abstract: Acute renal failure occurred in 21 patients after 311 cardiac operations with cardiopulmonary bypass in adults (6,75%). It was non oliguric in 20 cases. It is related to per and postoperative hemodynamic depression. Patients operated for valvular replacement seemed most at risk if severe cardiac failure existed with or without preoperative renal dysfunction. Similarly those operated upon for mechanical complications of myocardial infarction were often affected. The prognosis depends on the degree of cardiac failure. Strict patient selection, myocardial protection during bypass and measures to increase low cardiac output are recommended. Intra-aortic balloon pump for patients with myocardial infarction and dopamine in the early postoperative period seem helpful.
