Hydroxyethyl starch and change in renal function in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Kidney Int. 2003; (3): 1046-9
Several case reports and clinical lore have suggested that exposure to the colloid hydroxyethyl starch may impair renal function, but few studies have systematically addressed this issue, and several have produced conflicting results. We sought to study the question in a formal analysis of postoperative change in renal function in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
