Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To study the efficacy of erythropoietin zeta with brand name Retracrit® given preoperatively in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) patients to attenuate further decrease in renal dysfunction after open heart surgery and it’s safety. Different biological markers for kidney function will be measured postoperatively. ;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives will be regarding to the study drugs potential effect on brain and heart. These will be evaluated by specific biomarkers. Incidence and nature of AE during the study and the 30 days follow up. ;Primary end point(s): Primary endpoint: Plasma CyC change from day -1 to day 3.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Secondary endpoints: Plasma NGAL, plasma CyC, urinary CyC, eGFR-CyC, plasma creatinine concentration, MDRD eGFR, s-urea, CKMB, Tn I, and S-100 at day 1. During day 2-4, plasma CyC, CyC eGFR, s-creatinine, MDRD eGFR, s-urea and safety aspects as AE and SAE.
