Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main study parameter will be improved resistance to acute kidney damage as assessed by reduction of the neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) concentration in urine.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The secondary study endpoints will include evaluation of: * kidney function assessed by urinary concentration of cystanin C, creatinine, urea, uric acid, Na+, Cl-, K+, glucose, beta-2microglobulin, albumin, albumin/creatinine ratio, urinary osmolality. * urinary inflammatory parameters such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-*), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8 and IL-18. * urinary parameters for oxidative stress such as malondialdehyde (MDA) and trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC). * bilirubin, protein, erythrocytes, glucose, ketones, leukocytes, nitrite, pH, urobilinogen, specific gravity by urine dipstick. * urinary concentration of the extracellular vesicles.
