Özet
Background: Hypertension develops at a rate of 33% to 70% after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) operations. One of the most commonly used drugs to control hypertension is sodium nitroprusside (SNP). Additionally, renalase enzyme destroys catecholamines and mediates the regulation (reduction) of blood pressure. Thus, this clinical study aims to reveal how renalase, catecholamines, and nitric oxide (NO) change and how certain hemodynamic parameters are affected in randomly and prospectively selected individuals who are administered SNP for the treatment of blood pressure elevation within 6 to 8 hours after CABG surgery. Methods: The study included 26 patients who developed hypertension after CABG, 12 patients who had normal blood pressure after CABG, and 22 healthy individuals. Renalase and catecholamine levels of the patients were measured by using ELISA method and NO levels were determined by spectrophotometry. Results: Renalase and NO levels of the patients who developed hypertension after CABG were found to be statistically significantly lower than those of healthy controls and patients who did not develop hypertension after CABG, although catecholamine levels were significantly higher in the former. After SNP was started, renalase and NO levels increased, and a significant decrease was observed in the catecholamine levels. Additionally, administration of SNP produced a slight increase in the heart rate and a decrease in systolic arterial pressure (SAP), diastolic arterial pressure (DAP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP). Conclusion: SNP elevates NO and renalase levels; thus, administration of renalase preparations, which act in the destruction of catecholamines to contain persistent hypertension that develops in association with catecholamine elevation after CABG surgery, along with SNP and other medications used to lower blood pressure can be an effective therapeutic method to control hypertension.
