Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether fenoldopam infusion during cardiopulmonary bypass in young children with congenital heart disease is able to reduce indicators of acute kidney injury (biomarkers reduction, diuresis increase) compared to a control group.

Primary outcome: Reduction of urinary and/or serum levels of biomarker NGAL in treated group versus controls

Secondary outcome: Reduction of urinary and/or serum levels of cystatin C, increase of diuresis and improvement of perfusion markers in treated group versus controls
