Figure 1 Changes of Creatinine Clearance

Creatinine clearance was significantly higher in the human atrial natriuretic peptide (hANP) group from post-operative day 0 to week 1. *p < 0.05.

Figure 2 Changes of ANP and Plasma Renin Activity

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) increased rapidly in the human atrial natriuretic peptide (hANP) group and was significantly higher than in the placebo group until post-operative day 3, but there was no significant difference between the 2 groups at post-operative week 1. Renin was significantly lower in the hANP group excluding day 1. *p < 0.05.

Figure 3 Changes of Angiotensin-II and Aldosterone

The levels of angiotensin-II and aldosterone increased post-operatively in the placebo group, and reached a peak at the time of the return to intensive care unit. Angiotensin-II and aldosterone were significantly lower in the human atrial natriuretic peptide (hANP) group throughout the study. *p < 0.05.
