Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Hemodynamic changes lead to perioperative renal hypoperfusion with consequent failure of the organ. Ischemia and reperfusion lesion is the primary cause of acute renal failure in this period, increasing the morbidity and mortality. Dexmedetomidine is a selective ±2 agonist that improves hemodynamic stability during surgery. Its effect on renal function was studied …
