Purpose
The purpose of this project is to investigate if hydroxyethyl starch (HES) is potential nephrotoxic and examine the effects on the circulation and kidneys during administration of HES during surgery.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- u-NGAL [ Time Frame: 2-4 hours ]The main objective for the trial (only patients undergoing elective radical prostatectomy) is to measure the effect of hydroxyethyl starch on u-NGAL, which is a biomarker of nephrotoxicity
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- u-Kim 1, u- FABP [ Time Frame: 2-4 hours ]Another objective of the trial (only patients undergoing elective radical prostatectomy) is to measure the effect of hydroxyethyl starch on u-Kim1 and u-LFABP, which are also biomarkers of nephrotoxicity
- FENa, u-ENaCβ, CH2O, u-AQP2,u-NCC, u-NK2CC [ Time Frame: 2-4 hours ]Secondarily to measure the effect of hydroxyethyl starch on the renal tubular transport of sodium and water during elective radical prostatectomy
- PRC, p-Ang-II, p -Aldo, p-ANP,P-GDP, p-AVP, p-Endot [ Time Frame: 2-4 hours ]Thirdly to measure the effect of hydroxyethyl starch on vasoactive hormones during elective radical prostatectomy
- SBP, DBP, heartrate [ Time Frame: 2-4 hours ]Fourthly to measure the effect of hydroxyethyl starch on central hemodynamics during elective radical prostatectomy

Detailed Description:
Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) is widely used in hospitals to maintain circulation in critically ill patients. In recent years studies have raised suspicion that HES is nephrotoxic. So far acute kidney injury has been diagnosed based on creatinine measurements, but new technology allows for earlier diagnosis using measurements of biomarkers in urine.
The purpose of this project is to investigate HES's potential toxicity and effects on the circulation and kidneys using measurements of biomarkers specific for toxicity and for the sodium/water balance in the urine and by measurements of vasoactive hormones in the blood after administration of HES 130/0.4
