Effect of perioperative fluid therapy on urinary biomarkers in preeclamptic women who underwent caesarean section - A randomised controlled trial

Listen to this summary

This study aimed to compare the effects of normal saline (NS) versus Ringer's lactate (RL) on renal injury biomarkers in preeclamptic women undergoing caesarean sections. The results indicated no significant differences in urinary Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) and Kidney Injury Molecule-1 (KIM-1) levels or serum creatinine between the two fluid groups, suggesting that both fluids are similarly safe for renal function in this population. However, the NS group exhibited lower bicarbonate levels compared to the RL group.
