[Supplement of ulinastatin on renal function after cardiopulmonary bypass].
The effects of Miraclid (ulinastatin) on renal tubular function after open thorax surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass were investigated. On the 3rd day after open thorax surgery, which had lasted more than 127 min under cardiopulmonary bypass, the levels of urinary ulinastatin in the Miraclid group and control (without Miraclid) were 170 IU.mg Cr-1 and 95 IU.mg Cr-1, respectively. In the Miraclid group, 300,000 units.day-1 of Miraclid was administrated for three postoperative days. N-acetyl-beta-d-glucosaminidase in urine as a marker of tubular function rose significantly on the seventh postoperative day in the control group but not in patients with Miraclid group. These data suggested that Miraclid 300,000 units.day-1 was needed to protect renal tubular function and more than that dose was needed to prevent the deterioration of renal function after open thorax surgery after cardiopulmonary bypass lasting more than 127 min.
