Change from baseline in urinary excretion rate of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) (a) and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) (b) in a double-blinded, placebo-controlled study of 38 patients. Values represent changes form baseline to surgery, post-surgery and discharge. The increase in u-NGAL and u-KIM-1 after isotonic saline and PlasmaLyte was observed in this period. Values are shown as medians with 25 and 75 percentiles in brackets. P-value represents difference from baseline, * = p < 0.05. Statistics are performed with a Wilcoxon signed rank test
