METHODS: A total of 46 patients (mean age, 32 years; standard deviation, 6.8 years) with severe preeclampsia were randomized to liberal (1500 ml of lactated Ringer's, n=23) or restrictive (250 ml of lactated Ringer's, n=23) intravenous fluid regimen during cesarean section. The primary outcome was the development of a postoperative renal dysfunction defined by AKI Network stage >= 1. Serum cystatin C and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) were evaluated at postoperative days 1 and 2. ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02214186. RESULTS: The rate of postoperative AKI was 43.5% in the liberal fluid group and 43.5% in the restrictive fluid group (p=1.0). Intraoperative urine output was higher in the liberal (116 ml/h, IQR 69-191) than in the restrictive fluid group (80 ml/h, IQR 37-110, p < 0.05). In both groups, serum cystatin C did not change from postoperative day 1 compared to the preoperative period and significantly decreased on postoperative day 2 compared to postoperative day 1 (p<0.05). In the restrictive fluid group, NGAL levels increased on postoperative day 1 compared to the preoperative period (p <0.05) and decreased on postoperative day 2 compared to postoperative day 1 (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Among patients with severe preeclampsia, a restrictive fluid regimen during cesarean section was not associated with increased postoperative AKI.engopenAccessPreeclampsiaAcute Kidney InjuryCesarean SectionFluid Therapyglomerular-filtration-rategelatinase-associated lipocalincystatin-cserum creatininehypoproteinemic patientshypertensive disordersspinal-anesthesiacesarean deliverymanagementguidelinesarticleCopyright HOSPITAL CLINICAS, UNIV SAO PAULO10.6061/clinics/2020/e1797Medicine, General & Internal1980-5322
