Abstract

Introduction: Kidney injury is a serious complication after cardiovascular surgery. Left ventricular dysfunction, pre-operative kidney dysfunction and inflammation can predict kidney injury after myocardial reperfusion.

Objectives: We aimed to study whether short-term protein restriction (PR) would influence blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels after myocardial reperfusion injury.

Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats fed with either AIN-93M or AIN-93M protein restricted diet one week before myocardial reperfusion injury. After surgery, feeding continued with AIN-93M for 1 week.

Results: BUN levels increased significantly compared to the pre-operative level in the control group (P=0.03) and decreased significantly in the protein-restricted group (P=0.01). Multivariate analysis showed that PR through its effect on blood glucose (β=1.2, 95% CI=0.1- 2.34), IL-6 (β=-2.22, 95% CI=-3.9–-0.54) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (β=-1.21, 95% CI=-2.34- 0.09) was able to protect the kidney from myocardial reperfusion.

Conclusion: Short-term PR through modulating pre-operative IL-6, post-operative blood glucose levels and LVEF could prevent kidney injury after myocardial reperfusion injury.


Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education:

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality globally. Reperfusion injury is unavoidable in common treatment of cardiovascular disease like angioplasty and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Efforts to alleviate reperfusion injury through pharmacologic treatments and ischemic conditioning have been disappointing so far. Short-term PR is a non-invasive, clinically feasible and low-cost intervention. We found a beneficial effect of PR in reducing kidney injury after heart surgery. Further studies are required to assess compliance, safety and effectiveness of such dietary manipulation in the clinical setting.
