Effects of Fluid Treatment With Hydroxyethyl Starch on Renal Function in Patients With Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Conclusions: Concerning renal function, the first days after SAH seem to be a vulnerable phase in which a variety of interventions are performed, including contrast-enhanced neuroradiologic procedures. In this period, HES 6% 130/0.4 should be administered with caution. However, no patient suffered from renal failure and required temporary or permanent renal replacement therapy. These results suggest that the administration of HES 6% 130/0.4 is safe in SAH patients without preexisting renal insufficiency.
