Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC), elicited by brief episodes of ischemia and reperfusion in distant tissue, offers a protection against acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients after cardiac surgery. Investigators conducted a prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial to assess whether RIPC reduces the incidence of AKI measured by standard way using serum creatinine concentration (SCr) and with use of serum level of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) as a new potential biomarker of a kidney injury. Moreover the aim of investigation was to analyse the safety and clinical outcomes of RIPC after elective, isolated, primary off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery (OPCAB).
Cardiac surgery patients have a high risk of AKI. The development of AKI is associated with higher mortality and a higher risk for complications in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. However, there are no effective clinical strategies for preventing prevalence of AKI. RIPC as a simple, inexpensive way of protecting tissues against ischemic damage, may also reduce kidney injury. That makes RIPC under the area of interests of many researches which apply this method to prevent AKI. Investigators conducted a single-center, double-blind trial involving patients at high risk of postoperative AKI, in which want to check wether RIPC reduce the prevalence of AKI, according Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) definition, by increase in SCr. Furthermore researchers want to investigate a benefit from RIPC in reduction of level of SCr and higher glomerular filtration rate (GFR) 72 hours after off-pump coronary artery bypass as well as reduction of postoperative expression of NGAL an early biomarker of AKI.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Patients with RIPC | Experimental | intervention: remote ischemic preconditioning - three cycles of 5-min ischemia, achieved by inflation of blood-pressure cuff to 200 mmHg, followed by 5-min reperfusion while the cuff was deflated were applied to the upper left arm. |
|
| Patients without RIPC | Sham Comparator | intervention: no - remote ischemic preconditioning - in controls, the cuff was placed around the arm but not inflated. |
