Objective: To evaluate the usefulness of renal regional oxygen saturation (renal rSO2) in predicting the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery.
Design: A prospective observational study.
Setting: Tertiary care university hospital.
Participants: One hundred patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Interventions: Renal rSO2 was monitored continuously by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) throughout the anesthetic period.
Measurements And Main Results: Postoperative AKI was defined using the Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss, and End-stage (RIFLE) criteria. Of 95 patients who were included in the final analysis, 34 patients developed AKI after surgery. Recorded renal rSO2 data were used to calculate the total duration of the time when renal rSO2 was below the threshold values of 70%, 65%, 60%, 55%, and 50%. The total periods when the renal rSO2 level was below each of the threshold values were significantly longer in patients with AKI than in those without AKI (p = 0.001 or p<0.001). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the predictive power of renal rSO2 for AKI. The ROC curve analysis showed that renal rSO2 could predict the risk of AKI with statistical significance and that a renal rSO2<55% had the best performance (area under the curve-ROC, 0.777; 95% CI, 0.669-0.885; p<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that AKI significantly correlated with the duration of renal rSO2<55% (p = 0.002) and logistic EuroSCORE (p = 0.007).
Conclusions: Intraoperative renal regional oxygen desaturation can be a good predictor of AKI in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Purpose: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication and a strong risk factor for adverse outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Renal regional tissue oxygen saturation (rSO) reflects tissue perfusion and can be measured using near-infrared spectroscopy. We hypothesized that decrease in renal rSO during TAVI would predict post-procedural AKI.

Organ perfusion and regional tissue oxygen saturation (rSO) can be measured non-invasively using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). While cerebral NIRS monitoring in neonates has been widely used, the adoption of renal NIRS is still evolving. This narrative review explores the application of renal NIRS in neonates and proposes an algorithm for integrating renal and cerebral NIRS in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Background: Current indicators for monitoring intraoperative organ function remain predominantly indirect, delayed and non-specific, particularly in paediatric populations undergoing congenital heart surgery, where multifactorial influences further complicate functional assessments. Emerging evidence suggests that the use of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technology to continuously monitor the regional oxygen saturation (rSO) of intraoperative organs can predict the postoperative organ functional status. This study aims to investigate the associations between intraoperative cerebral/renal rSO fluctuations monitored by NIRS and postoperative neurological injury or acute kidney injury (AKI) in paediatric congenital heart disease (CHD) surgery.

BACKGROUND Acute renal failure (ARF) is a critical complication following open-heart surgery, significantly impacting morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the association between intraoperative renal near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) findings and postoperative ARF in 357 patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). MATERIAL AND METHODS This prospective study included 357 patients undergoing open-heart surgery with CPB.

IntroductionPostoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common postoperative complication in cardiac surgery, with varying reported incidences and prognostic factors. Renal hypoperfusion is believed to be a key factor contributing to postoperative AKI. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) monitoring, which assesses regional tissue saturation (RSO), has been suggested as a tool to predict postoperative AKI.
