Effect of Urine-guided Hydration on Acute Kidney Injury After CRS-HIPEC

Effect of Urine-guided Intraoperative Hydration on the Incidence of Postoperative Acute Kidney Injury and Long-term Outcomes in Patients With Pseudomyxoma Peritonei Receiving CRS-HIPEC: a Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Trial

Acute renal injury (AKI) is a common complication after cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC), and is associated with worse outcomes. Available evidences show that maintaining intraoperative urine output ≥ 200 ml/h by fluid and furosemide administration may reduce the incidence of AKI in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass. The investigators hypothesize that, for patients undergoing CRS-HIPEC, intraoperative urine-volume guided hydration may also reduce the incidence of postoperative AKI.

Acute renal injury (AKI) is a common complication after cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC), and is associated with worse outcomes. Studies showed that less intraoperative urine volume was associated with AKI.

In studies of contrast-associated AKI, intraoperative and 4-h postoperative hydration and forced diuresis to achieve urine output ≥ 300 ml/h reduces the incidence of AKI by 44%. In patients undergoing cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass, maintaining intraoperative and 6-h postoperative urine output ≥200 ml/h by fluid and furosemide administration reduces the incidence of AKI by 52%. For patients with rhabdomyolysis, it is recommended to maintain urine output at approximately 3 ml/kg/h (200 ml/h) with volume supplementation. We suppose that forced diuresis with simultaneous hydration (balancing urine output with intravenous fluid infusion) may reduce AKI after CRS-HIPEC.

The purpose of this randomised controlled trial is to investigate whether maintaining urine output at 200 ml/h (3 ml/kg/h) or higher by forced diuresis with simultaneous hydration can reduce the incidence of AKI after CRS-HIPEC.
