Nitric oxide (NO) metabolites, particularly nitrites and nitrates, are potential early markers of kidney injury and early postoperative inflammatory marker response. This study evaluates perioperative changes in the plasma nitrite\/nitrate ratio, selected biochemical variables and intraoperative haemodynamic parameters in overweight and obese patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and examines their association with early postoperative complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In the exploratory observational cohort study, overweight and obese adult patients undergoing on-pump CABG with standard anaesthesia were followed using serial perioperative blood sampling at six perioperative time points (T1\u2013T6), including periods before and after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and the early postoperative phase. Assessed parameters included blood gases, osmolality, NO metabolites, lactate, glucose, creatinine, and inflammatory markers: CRP, leukocyte count. Mean arterial pressure (MAP), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and heart rate (HR) were analysed to provide clinical context.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Overweight and obese patients showed no significant differences in baseline or perioperative characteristics. The nitrite\/nitrate ratio increased significantly before CPB compared with pre-anaesthesia values (T2 vs. T1,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and remained elevated 10\u00a0min after aortic cross-clamping (AoX) (T3 vs. T1,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.01), followed by rapid normalization after clamp release. Significant perioperative changes were also observed in pH, pO\u2082 and pCO\u2082, with increased lactate and glucose concentrations and decreased osmolality 10\u00a0min after AoX (T3 vs. T1,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
