Effect of therapeutic hypothermia against renal injury in a rat model of asphyxial cardiac arrest: Α focus on the survival rate, pathophysiology and antioxidant enzymes

Although multi‑organ dysfunction is associated with the survival rate following cardiac arrest (CA), the majority of studies to date have focused on hearts and brains, and few studies have considered renal failure. The objective of the present study, therefore, was to examine the effects of therapeutic hypothermia on the survival rate, pathophysiology and antioxidant enzymes in rat kidneys following asphyxial CA. Rats were sacrificed one day...
