Effect of Rasburicase on Acute Kidney Injury, Kidney Function, the Incidence of Renal Replacement Therapy and All-cause Mortality Following Cardiac Surgery.
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Rasburicase and Placebo for Hyperuricemia. Completed, enrolled 26 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Acute kidney injury is associated with a rise in serum uric acid during cardiovascular surgery and can cause poor blood flow to the kidneys making them vulnerable to kidney injury. We hypothesize that hyperuricemia, particularly if chronic and marked, is a risk factor for acute kidney injury. The preoperative lowering of serum uric acid will reduce the incidence of acute kidney injury following cardiovascular surgery.
