Abstract

Background. Renal injury induced by aortic ischemia-reperfusion (IR) is an important factor in the development of postoperative acute renal failure following abdominal aortic surgery. Endothelin (ET) is involved in the development of renal injury induced by aortic IR and tezosentan (R0 61-0612) is a specific ET receptor antagonist. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of tezosentan on renal injury induced by abdominal aortic IR in rats.
