Filtration of urine in the kidney requires sufficient oxygen supply. The filtration of urine is greater in patents with diabetes. Our theory is that the diabetic kidney has a higher oxygen demand than the non diabetic kidney thereby making the diabetic kidney more sensitive to decreased oxygen delivery following reduced blood flow. With a catheter inserted into the kidney vein we will monitor the blood flow and oxygen saturation before and during CPB, in patient with diabetes.
