Text: Both groups had significant increase in retinol binding protein/creatinine ratio (7. 2 + / -6 to 3152 + / -1411 in furosemide group ; 4. 9 + / -2. 1 to 2809 + / -1125 in placebo group ; p < 0. 001) and peak serum creatinine (98 + / -33 to 177 + / -123 micromol/l in furosemide group ; 96 + / -20 to 143 + / -87 micromol/l in placebo group ; p < 0. 001), and a significant decrease in peak creatinine-clearance (64. 3 + / -29. 4 to 39. 1 + / -16. 6 ml/min in furosemide group ; 65. 5 + / -38. 6 to 41. 8 + / -17. 8 ml/min in placebo group ; p < 0. 001) following cardiac surgery, implying significant renal injury following cardiac surgery.
