Key result
Sevoflurane anaesthesia was associated with lower urine output, reduced urinary sodium excretion, and higher plasma renin levels compared to propofol, reflecting early renal cellular stress.
Why the study?
Does sevoflurane anaesthesia compared to propofol TIVA affect renal function in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery?

Chen et al. (2025) conducted a letter in Hip fracture. Sevoflurane vs. Propofol total intravenous anaesthesia was evaluated on Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at 1 hour postoperatively. Sevoflurane anaesthesia was associated with lower urine output, reduced urinary sodium excretion, and higher plasma renin levels compared to propofol, reflecting early renal cellular stress.
