Abstract
BACKGROUND Vasoplegic shock occurs in up to 37% of cardiac surgery patients. We investigated the use of angiotensin II for treating vasoplegic shock in these patients. OBJECTIVES We assessed clinical outcomes and mortality in patients undergoing cardiac surgery at our center between March 1, 2018 and October 31, 2020 who developed vasoplegic shock, comparing those who received angiotensin II with those who did not. METHODS This was a retrospective chart review. Response to angiotensin II was defined as increase in or maintenance of mean arterial pressure (MAP) and decrease in background vasopressor dosage. RESULTS Angiotensin II was administered to 7 patients (postoperatively in 4 patients [57.1%]) with vasoplegic shock and baseline norepinephrine equivalent (NEE) of 0.49 ± 0.08 μg/kg/min; 12 patients with vasoplegic shock did not receive angiotensin II. Within 3 hours of angiotensin II administration, NEE decreased by 38.0 ± 33.1%. Angiotensin patients were more likely to newly require renal replacement therapy (66.7% vs 9.1%, P = 0.03) and had a longer, although not statistically significant, postoperative stay (23.1 vs 14.0 days, P = 0.16). Despite higher NEE requirements at baseline (0.49 vs 0.30, P = 0.03) and over the next 48 hours in the angiotensin group, no between-group differences in 7-day mortality (14.3% vs 0.0%, P = 0.37) or 30-day mortality (28.6% vs 8.3%, P = 0.52) were noted. CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE In patients who developed vasoplegic shock after cardiac surgery, angiotensin II administration allowed immediate dosage reductions of other vasopressors while maintaining MAP. Despite its small sample size, this study adds to the paucity of data in these patients and highlights future research needs.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the serious complications of sepsis in clinical practice, and is an important cause of prolonged hospitalization, death, increased medical costs, and a huge medical burden to society. The pathogenesis of AKI associated with sepsis is relatively complex and includes hemodynamic abnormalities due to inflammatory response, oxidative stress, and shock, which subsequently cause a decrease in renal perfusion pressure and eventually lead to ischemia and hypoxia in renal tissue. Active clinical correction of hypotension can effectively improve renal microcirculatory disorders and promote the recovery of renal function. Furthermore, it has been found that in patients with a previous history of hypertension, small changes in blood pressure may be even more deleterious for kidney function. Therefore, the management of blood pressure in patients with sepsis-related AKI will directly affect the short-term and long-term renal function prognosis. This review summarizes the pathophysiological mechanisms of microcirculatory disorders affecting renal function, fluid management, vasopressor, the clinical blood pressure target, and kidney replacement therapy to provide a reference for the clinical management of sepsis-related AKI, thereby promoting the recovery of renal function for the purpose of improving patient prognosis.

Abstract
Early initiation of a multimodal treatment strategy in the management of vasopressors during septic shock has been advocated to reduce delays in restoring adequate organ perfusion and to mitigate side effects associated with the administration of high-dose catecholamines. We provide a review that summarises the pathophysiology of vasodilation, the physiologic response to the vascular response, and the different drugs used in this situation, focusing on the need to combine early different vasopressors. Fluid loading being insufficient for counteracting vasoplegia, norepinephrine is usually the first-line vasopressor used to restore hemodynamics. Norepinephrine sparing is discussed in further detail through the concomitant use of adrenergic, vasopressinergic, and renin-angiotensin systems and the optimisation of endothelial reactivity with methylene blue. A blueprint for the construction of new studies is outlined to address the question of vasopressor selection and timing in septic shock.

Crit Care 2022; 26:372. [PMID: 36457089 PMCID: PMC9714237 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-022-04255-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2022] [Accepted: 11/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Although guidelines provide excellent expert guidance for managing patients with septic shock, they leave room for personalization according to patients' condition. Hemodynamic monitoring depends on the evolution phase: salvage, optimization, stabilization, and de-escalation. Initially during the salvage phase, monitoring to identify shock etiology and severity should include arterial pressure and lactate measurements together with clinical examination, particularly skin mottling and capillary refill time. Low diastolic blood pressure may trigger vasopressor initiation. At this stage, echocardiography may be useful to identify significant cardiac dysfunction. During the optimization phase, echocardiographic monitoring should be pursued and completed by the assessment of tissue perfusion through central or mixed-venous oxygen saturation, lactate, and carbon dioxide veno-arterial gradient. Transpulmonary thermodilution and the pulmonary artery catheter should be considered in the most severe patients. Fluid therapy also depends on shock phases. While administered liberally during the resuscitation phase, fluid responsiveness should be assessed during the optimization phase. During stabilization, fluid infusion should be minimized. In the de-escalation phase, safe fluid withdrawal could be achieved by ensuring tissue perfusion is preserved. Norepinephrine is recommended as first-line vasopressor therapy, while vasopressin may be preferred in some patients. Essential questions remain regarding optimal vasopressor selection, combination therapy, and the most effective and safest escalation. Serum renin and the angiotensin I/II ratio may identify patients who benefit most from angiotensin II. The optimal therapeutic strategy for shock requiring high-dose vasopressors is scant. In all cases, vasopressor therapy should be individualized, based on clinical evaluation and blood flow measurements to avoid excessive vasoconstriction. Inotropes should be considered in patients with decreased cardiac contractility associated with impaired tissue perfusion. Based on pharmacologic properties, we suggest as the first test a limited dose of dobutamine, to add enoximone or milrinone in the second line and substitute or add levosimendan if inefficient. Regarding adjunctive therapies, while hydrocortisone is nowadays advised in patients receiving high doses of vasopressors, patients responding to corticosteroids may be identified in the future by the analysis of selected cytokines or specific transcriptomic endotypes. To conclude, although some general rules apply for shock management, a personalized approach should be considered for hemodynamic monitoring and support.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to describe acute kidney injury (AKI) phenotypes in children. RECENT FINDINGS AKI is a heterogenous disease that imposes significant morbidity and mortality on critically ill and noncritically ill patients across the age spectrum. As our understanding of AKI and its association with outcomes has improved, it is becoming increasingly apparent that there are distinct AKI subphenotypes that vary by cause or associated conditions. We have also learned that severity, duration, and repeated episodes of AKI impact outcomes, and that integration of novel urinary biomarkers of tubular injury can also reveal unique subphenotypes of AKI that may not be otherwise readily apparent. SUMMARY Studies that further delineate these unique AKI subphenotypes are needed to better understand the impact of AKI in children. Further delineation of these phenotypes has both prognostic and therapeutic implications.

Abstract
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), whose major vasopressor effector is angiotensin II (ATII), has multiple activities and regulates sodium-water homeostasis and fluid and blood pressure homeostasis. RAAS plays a crucial role in cardiocirculatory shock because it counteracts hypotension and hypovolemia by activating different physiologic responses. Based on the encouraging results of the ATHOS-3 trial, the US Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency approved the use of ATII for catecholamine-resistant vasodilatory shock. More recently, ATII was used for the compassionate treatment of critically ill patients with COVID-19. Beyond its vasopressor properties, ATII was hypothesized to have antiviral activity because it induces internalization and degradation of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptors used by SARS-Cov-2 to infect cells. Overall, the use of ATII in patients with COVID-19 showed promising results because its administration was associated with the achievement and maintenance of target mean arterial pressure, increased PaO2/FIO2 ratio, and decreased FIO2. The aim of this narrative review is to summarize the available knowledge on the use of ATII in patients with COVID-19.

Abstract
Despite the widespread use of intravenous fluids in acute kidney injury (AKI), solid evidence is lacking. Intravenous fluids mainly improve AKI due to true hypovolaemia, which is difficult to discern at the bedside unless it is very pronounced. Empiric fluid resuscitation triggered only by elevated serum creatinine levels or oliguria is frequently misguided, especially in the presence of fluid intolerance syndromes such as increased extravascular lung water, capillary leak, intra-abdominal hypertension, and systemic venous congestion. While fluid responsiveness tests clearly identify patients who will not benefit from fluid administration (i.e. those without an increase in cardiac output), the presence of fluid responsiveness does not guarantee that fluid therapy is indicated or even safe. This review calls for more attention to the concept of fluid tolerance, incorporating it into a practical algorithm with systematic venous Doppler ultrasonography assessment to use at the bedside, thereby lowering the risk of detrimental kidney congestion in AKI.

Abstract
Sepsis is a heterogenous and highly complex clinical syndrome, which is caused by infectious or noninfectious factors. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common and severe complication of sepsis, and it is associated with high mortality and poor outcomes. Recent evidence has identified that autophagy participates in the pathophysiology of sepsis-associated AKI. Despite the use of antibiotics, the mortality rate is still at an extremely high level in patients with sepsis. Besides traditional treatments, many natural products, including phytochemicals and their derivatives, are proved to exert protective effects through multiple mechanisms, such as regulation of autophagy, inhibition of inflammation, fibrosis, and apoptosis, etc. Accumulating evidence has also shown that many pharmacological inhibitors might have potential therapeutic effects in sepsis-induced AKI. Hence, understanding the pathophysiology of sepsis-induced AKI may help to develop novel therapeutics to attenuate the complications of sepsis and lower the mortality rate. This review updates the recent progress of underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of sepsis-associated AKI, focuses specifically on autophagy, and summarizes the potential therapeutic effects of phytochemicals and pharmacological inhibitors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to the mechanisms of action of conventional catecholamine vasopressors, there is increased risk of renal allograft injury and adverse events in transplant recipients with fluid-refractory distributive shock during the perioperative period. As such, mechanistically alternative vasopressors like angiotensin II (ATII) may avoid these complications, but there is an absence of data supporting use in this population. METHODS This was a single-center, single-arm, open-label, phase 4 study conducted as a 1-year pilot of 20 adult renal transplant recipients receiving ATII as their first continuous infusion vasopressor in the perioperative period. The study aim was to systematically assess the safety and hemodynamic effects of ATII. Safety was assessed based on the incidence of adverse events. Hemodynamic effect was assessed by the achievement of per protocol hemodynamic goals (i.e., SBP ≥120 mmHg) and the need for adjunct vasopressors. RESULTS Most cases involved deceased donors (70%), with a corresponding mean (SD) cold ischemia time of 14.7 (8.6) h. Over a surgery duration of 5.3 (1.2) h, subjects received 3.2 (2.0) L of total volume resuscitation prior to ATII initiation. No adverse events were directly related to ATII administration. Throughout this period, ATII was utilized for a median of 1.0 (IQR, 1.5) h intraoperatively (N = 7), 26.5 (IQR, 84.8) h postoperatively (N = 4), and 63.8 (IQR, 57.8) h in subjects who required ATII both intra- and postoperatively (N = 9). Only one of the 20 patients needed adjunct continuous infusion vasopressors in addition to ATII. CONCLUSIONS Based on the observations of this pilot study, ATII is a safe and effective vasopressor option for renal transplant recipients requiring perioperative hypotension reversal.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury is common after cardiac surgery. Vasoplegic hypotension may contribute to kidney injury, and different vasopressors may have variable effects on kidney function. We conducted a double-blind, randomised feasibility trial comparing peri-operative angiotensin-2 with noradrenaline. We randomly allocated 60 patients at two centres to a blinded equipotent angiotensin-2 or noradrenaline infusion intra-operatively and for up to 48 h postoperatively, titrated to mean arterial pressure of 70-80 mmHg. Primary feasibility outcomes included consent rate, protocol adherence, infusion duration, mean arterial pressure maintenance in the target range and major adverse outcomes. Secondary outcomes included kidney injury rate. The consent rate was 47%. Protocol adherence was 100% in the angiotensin-2 group and 94% in the noradrenaline group. Study drug duration was median (IQR [range]) 217 (160-270 [30-315]) vs. 185 (135-301 [0-480]) min (p = 0.78) min intra-operatively, and 5 (0-16 [0-48]) vs. 14.5 (4.8-29 [0-48]) hours (p = 0.075) postoperatively for angiotensin-2 and noradrenaline, respectively. The mean arterial pressure target was achieved postoperatively in 25 of 28 (89%) of the angiotensin-2 group and 27 of 32 (84%) of the noradrenaline group. One participant had a stroke, one required extracorporeal support and three required renal replacement therapy, all in the noradrenaline group (p = 0.99, p = 0.99 and p = 0.1). Acute kidney injury occurred in 7 of 28 in the angiotensin-2 group vs. 12 of 32 patients in the noradrenaline group (p = 0.31). This pilot study suggests that a trial comparing angiotensin-2 with noradrenaline is feasible. Its findings justify further investigations of angiotensin-2 in cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Sepsis, defined as organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host-response to infection, is characterized by immunosuppression. The vasopressor norepinephrine is widely used to treat low blood pressure in sepsis but exacerbates immunosuppression. An alternative vasopressor is angiotensin-II, a peptide hormone of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), which displays complex immunomodulatory properties that remain unexplored in severe infection. In a murine cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model of sepsis, we found alterations in the surface levels of RAS proteins on innate leukocytes in peritoneum and spleen. Angiotensin-II treatment induced biphasic, angiotensin-II type 1 receptor (AT1R)-dependent modulation of the systemic inflammatory response and decreased bacterial counts in both the blood and peritoneal compartments, which did not occur with norepinephrine treatment. The effect of angiotensin-II was preserved when treatment was delivered remote from the primary site of infection. At an independent laboratory, angiotensin-II treatment was compared in LysM-Cre AT1aR-/- (Myeloid-AT1a-) mice, which selectively do not express AT1R on myeloid-derived leukocytes, and littermate controls (Myeloid-AT1a+). Angiotensin-II treatment significantly reduced post-CLP bacteremia in Myeloid-AT1a+ mice but not in Myeloid-AT1a- mice, indicating that the AT1R-dependent effect of angiotensin-II on bacterial clearance was mediated through myeloid-lineage cells. Ex vivo, angiotensin-II increased post-CLP monocyte phagocytosis and ROS production after lipopolysaccharide stimulation. These data identify a mechanism by which angiotensin-II enhances the myeloid innate immune response during severe systemic infection and highlight a potential role for angiotensin-II to augment immune responses in sepsis.

Abstract
Sepsis, a life-threatening organ dysfunction, results from dysregulated host responses to infection and still has a high incidence and mortality. Although administration of vasopressors to treat septic shock is standard of care, the benefits are not well established. We evaluated the effect of continuous intravenous norepinephrine infusion in a septic cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) mouse model, evaluating systemic hemodynamics and body temperature post-hoc. CLP surgery significantly decreased mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), heart rate, and body temperature within six hours. Continuous norepinephrine infusion (NE+, n = 12) started at the time of CLP surgery significantly increased MAP at 24 and 30 hours and heart rate at 6, 18, 24, and 30 hours after CLP vs CLP alone (NE-, n = 12). However, addition of norepinephrine did not improve survival rate (NE+ n = 34, NE- n = 31). Early (6 hours or earlier, when the animal became visibly sick) MAP did not predict 7-day mortality. However, heart rates at 3 and at 6 hours after CLP/norepinephrine (NE+) were highly predictive of mortality, as also been found in one clinical study. We conclude that limited hemodynamic support can be provided in a mouse sepsis model. We propose that heart rate can be used to stratify severity of illness in rodent preclinical studies of sepsis therapeutics.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Septic and vasoplegic shock are common types of vasodilatory shock (VS) with high mortality. After fluid resuscitation and the use of catecholamine-mediated vasopressors (CMV), vasopressin, angiotensin II, methylene blue (MB) and hydroxocobalamin can be added to maintain blood pressure. AREAS COVERED VS treatment utilizes a phased approach with secondary vasopressors added to vasopressor agents to maintain an acceptable mean arterial pressure (MAP). This review covers additional vasopressors and adjunctive therapies used when fluid and catecholamine-mediated vasopressors fail to maintain target MAP. EXPERT OPINION Evidence supporting additional vasopressor agents in catecholamine resistant VS is limited to case reports, series, and a few randomized control trials (RCTs) to guide recommendations. Vasopressin is the most common agent added next when MAPs are not adequately supported with CMV. VS patients failing fluids and vasopressors with cardiomyopathy may have cardiotonic agents such as dobutamine or milrinone added before or after vasopressin. Angiotensin II, another class of vasopressor is used in VS to maintain adequate MAP. MB and/or hydoxocobalamin, vitamin C, thiamine and corticosteroids are adjunctive therapies used in refractory VS. More RCTs are needed to confirm the utility of these drugs, at what doses, which combinations and in what order they should be given.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acute kidney injury (AKI) resulting from nephrotoxic medication use is prominent in hospitalized patients and is attributable to overall increases in mortality and costs of care. Serum creatinine (SCr), the current standard for identifying drug-induced AKI (DIAKI) is often delayed in its response to kidney insult by 26-36 h. OBJECTIVE This systematic review seeks to evaluate the clinical utility of several novel kidney damage and stress biomarkers for the prediction/timely detection of DIAKI, in comparison with traditional methods. METHODS A systematic review of the CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Embase, and PubMed databases was conducted per the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines, for articles analyzing the use of β2-microglobulin (B2M), interleukin (IL)-18, kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 * insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 [TIMP-1]*[IGFBP-7], for identifying DIAKI. Primary outcomes included time to DIAKI diagnosis using traditional methods and the time to significant difference in biomarker concentrations between DIAKI and non-AKI study subjects. Secondary outcomes included biomarker concentrations at the time of significant difference between the AKI status groups. RESULTS Fifteen unique articles were identified from the literature search. Twelve studies consisted of strictly hospitalized patient populations and three studies included hospitalized patients and patients discharged to home treatment. No studies reported values for urine volume output. Seventy-three percent of studies reported earlier times to significant difference of novel biomarker concentrations between the AKI and non-AKI groups than diagnosis of DIAKI by SCr alone. Significant variation was observed for individual urine biomarker concentrations at time of significant difference between the AKI status groups. CONCLUSIONS All analyzed biomarkers showed potential for use as early clinical markers of DIAKI, however further consensus on threshold urine concentrations for DIAKI is needed for meaningful implementation of these biomarkers in clinical practice.

Abstract
Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) is a common complication in critically ill patients with high morbidity and mortality. SA-AKI varies considerably in disease presentation, progression, and response to treatment, highlighting the heterogeneity of the underlying biological mechanisms. In this review, we briefly describe the pathophysiology of SA-AKI, biomarkers, reference databases, and available omics techniques. Advances in omics technology allow for comprehensive analysis of SA-AKI, and the integration of multiple omics provides an opportunity to understand the information flow behind the disease. These approaches will drive a shift in current paradigms for the prevention, diagnosis, and staging and provide the renal community with significant advances in precision medicine in SA-AKI analysis.

Abstract
Catecholamine-resistant postoperative vasoplegic syndrome (PVS) lacks effective treatment modalities. Synthetic angiotensin II was recently approved for the treatment of vasodilatory shock; however, its use in PVS is not well described. We report outcomes in six patients receiving angiotensin II for the treatment of isolated PVS. All patients achieved their MAP goal and the majority showed improvement in lactate and background catecholamine dose; however, variables of perfusion changed discordantly. Three of six patients survived to hospital discharge.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Refractory vasodilatory shock is a state of uncontrolled vasodilation associated with underlying inflammation and endothelial dysregulation. Rescue therapy for vasoplegia refractory to catecholamines includes methylene blue (MB) which restores vascular tone. We hypothesized that (1) at least 40% of critically ill patients would respond positively to MB administration and (2) that those who responded to MB would have a survival benefit.
Methods
This study was a retrospective review that included all adult patients admitted to an intensive care unit treated with MB for the indication of refractory vasodilatory shock. Responders to MB were identified as those with a ≥ 10% increase in mean arterial pressure (MAP) within the first 1-2 hours after administration. We examined the association of mortality to the groups of responders versus non-responders to MB. A subgroup analysis in patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) was also performed.
Statistical calculations were performed in Microsoft Excel® (Redmond, WA, USA). Where appropriate, the comparison of averages and standard deviations of demographics, dosing, MAP, and reductions in vasopressor dosing were performed via Chi squared, Fisher's exact test, or two-tailed t-test with a p-value < 0.05 being considered as statistically significant. After using the F-test to assess for differences in variance, the proper two tailed t-test was used to compare SOFA scores among responders versus non-responders.
Results
A total of 223 patients were included in the responder analysis; 88 (39.5%) had a ≥ 10% increase in MAP post-MB administration that was not associated with a significant change in norepinephrine requirements between responders versus non-responders (p=0.41). There was a non-statistically significant trend (21.6% vs 14.8%, p=0.19) toward improved survival to hospital discharge in the MB responder group compared to the non-responder group. In 70 patients undergoing CRRT, there were 33 responders who were more likely to survive than those who were not (p = 0.0111).
Conclusions
In patients with refractory shock receiving MB, there is a non-statistically significant trend toward improved outcomes in responders based on a MAP increase >10%. Patients supported with CRRT who were identified as responders had decreased ICU mortality compared to non-responders.

Jozwiak M. Alternatives to norepinephrine in septic shock: Which agents and when? JOURNAL OF INTENSIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2:223-232.

Abstract
Vasopressors are the cornerstone of hemodynamic management in patients with septic shock. Norepinephrine is currently recommended as the first-line vasopressor in these patients. In addition to norepinephrine, there are many other potent vasopressors with specific properties and/or advantages that act on vessels through different pathways after activation of specific receptors; these could be of interest in patients with septic shock. Dopamine is no longer recommended in patients with septic shock because its use is associated with a higher rate of cardiac arrhythmias without any benefit in terms of mortality or organ dysfunction. Epinephrine is currently considered as a second-line vasopressor therapy, because of the higher rate of associated metabolic and cardiac adverse effects compared with norepinephrine; however, it may be considered in settings where norepinephrine is unavailable or in patients with refractory septic shock and myocardial dysfunction. Owing to its potential effects on mortality and renal function and its norepinephrine-sparing effect, vasopressin is recommended as second-line vasopressor therapy instead of norepinephrine dose escalation in patients with septic shock and persistent arterial hypotension. However, two synthetic analogs of vasopressin, namely, terlipressin and selepressin, have not yet been employed in the management of patients with septic shock, as their use is associated with a higher rate of digital ischemia. Finally, angiotensin Ⅱ also appears to be a promising vasopressor in patients with septic shock, especially in the most severe cases and/or in patients with acute kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy. Nevertheless, due to limited evidence and concerns regarding safety (which remains unclear because of potential adverse effects related to its marked vasopressor activity), angiotensin Ⅱ is currently not recommended in patients with septic shock. Further studies are needed to better define the role of these vasopressors in the management of these patients.

Abstract
Sepsis-induced AKI (SIAKI) is the most common complication with unacceptable mortality in hospitalized and critically ill patients. The pathophysiology of the development of SIAKI is still poorly understood. Our recent work has demonstrated the role of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathways in regulating inflammation and coagulation in sepsis. We hypothesized that STAT3 activation has a critical role in early-stage SIAKI. The early-stage SIAKI model was established in cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) mice, which recapitulates the clinical and renal pathological features of early-stage AKI patients. Brush border loss (BBL) was the specific pathological feature of acute tubular injury in early-stage AKI. The role of STAT3 signaling and angiotension system in early-stage SIAKI was evaluated. The STAT3 activation (increased pSTAT3) and increased angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) expressions were observed in CLP mice. The low responsive expressions of pSTAT3 and ACE2 to septic inflammation in CLP AKI mice were associated with BBL. Correlation analysis of proteins' expressions showed pSTAT3 expression was significantly positively related to ACE2 expression in CLP mice. Reduced pSTAT3 after S3I201 intervention, which blocked STAT3 phosphorylation, decreased ACE2 expression, and exacerbated tubular injury in early-stage SIAKI. Our data indicate that endogenous increase of ACE2 expression upregulated by STAT3 activation in early-stage SIAKI play protective role against acute tubular injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize endothelial function, inflammation, and immunosuppression in surgical patients with distinct clinical trajectories of AKI and to determine the impact of persistent kidney injury and renal non-recovery on clinical outcomes, resource utilization, and long-term disability and survival. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA AKI is associated with increased healthcare costs and mortality. Trajectories that account for duration and recovery of AKI have not been described for sepsis patients, who are uniquely vulnerable to renal dysfunction. METHODS This prospective observational study included 239 sepsis patients admitted and enrolled between January 2015 and July 2017. Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) and Acute Disease Quality Initiative (ADQI) criteria were used to classify subjects as having no AKI, rapidly reversed AKI, persistent AKI with renal recovery, or persistent AKI without renal recovery. Serial biomarker profiles, clinical outcomes, resource utilization, and long-term physical performance status and survival were compared among AKI trajectories. RESULTS Sixty-two percent of the study population developed AKI. Only one-third of AKI episodes rapidly reversed within 48 hours; the remaining had persistent AKI, among which 57% did not have renal recovery by discharge. One-year survival and proportion of subjects fully active 1 year after sepsis was lowest among patients with persistent AKI compared with other groups. Long-term mortality hazard rates were 5-fold higher for persistent AKI without renal recovery compared with no AKI. CONCLUSIONS Among critically ill surgical sepsis patients, persistent AKI and the absence of renal recovery are associated with distinct early and sustained immunologic and endothelial biomarker signatures and decreased long-term physical function and survival.

Abstract
Vasodilatory shock, such as septic shock, requires personalized management which include adequate fluid therapy and vasopressor treatments. While these potent drugs are numerous, they all aim to counterbalance the vasodilatory effects of a systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Their specific receptors include α- and β-adrenergic receptors, arginine-vasopressin receptors, angiotensin II receptors and dopamine receptors. Consequently, these may be associated with severe adverse effects, including acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI). As the risk of AMI depends on drug class, we aimed to review the evidence of plausible associations by performing a worldwide pharmacovigilance analysis based on the World Health Organization database, VigiBase®. Among 24 million reports, 104 AMI events were reported, and disproportionality analyses yielded significant association with all vasopressors, to the exception of selepressin. Furthermore, in a comprehensive literature review, we detailed mechanistic phenomena which may enhance vasopressor selection, in the course of treating vasodilatory shock.

Abstract
To expand our understanding of the role of angiotensin II (ANGII) in coronavirus infectious disease 2019 (COVID-19), we conducted an international, multicenter registry study to assess the use of ANGII in patients with COVID-19 compared to patients not receiving ANGII. Critically ill adult patients who were diagnosed with COVID-19 and received ANGII were matched with COVID-19 patients not receiving ANGII according to age, respiratory support, history of hypertension, use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and/or ANGII receptor blocker, and date of admission. All outcomes were exploratory in nature and included improvement in oxygenation, duration of organ support, and mortality. In one year, 132 patients were included (65 in the ANGII group and 67 in the control group), and patients were comparable in baseline characteristics. During the first 12 h of infusion, patients in the ANGII had a faster decrease in FiO2 and maintained similar mean arterial pressure levels. Hospital mortality was not statistically significantly different between the groups (53.8% vs. 40.3%; p = 0.226). Within the limitations of such a study design, our findings confirm previous observations of a potentially positive effect of ANGII on blood pressure and FiO2 but no effect on patient-centered outcomes.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) represents one of the greatest global health challenges and is associated with high mortality. The often multifactorial etiology and complex pathophysiological mechanisms have so far hampered the development of causal therapeutic options. The treatment should be stage-adapted according to the current KDIGO guideline: avoid nephrotoxicity, optimize volume status and perfusion pressure, monitor serum creatinine, urine output and proteinuria. New insights into the influence of mitochondrial dysfunction and cellular senescence in AKI, well-defined study endpoints, and innovations through nanotechnology may enable targeted drug-based AKI therapy in the future. Especially the weeks following an AKI are a vulnerable phase and crucial for progression management.

Abstract
Rationale: Alveolar and endothelial injury may be differentially associated with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) severity over time. Objectives: To describe alveolar and endothelial injury dynamics and associations with COVID-19 severity, cardiorenovascular injury, and outcomes. Methods: This single-center observational study enrolled patients with COVID-19 requiring respiratory support at emergency department presentation. More than 40 markers of alveolar (including receptor for advanced glycation endproducts [RAGE]), endothelial (including angiopoietin-2), and cardiorenovascular injury (including renin, kidney injury molecule-1, and troponin-I) were serially compared between invasively and spontaneously ventilated patients using mixed-effects repeated-measures models. Ventilatory ratios were calculated for intubated patients. Associations of biomarkers with modified World Health Organization scale at Day 28 were determined with multivariable proportional-odds regression. Measurements and Main Results: Of 225 patients, 74 (33%) received invasive ventilation at Day 0. RAGE was 1.80-fold higher in invasive ventilation patients at Day 0 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.50-2.17) versus spontaneous ventilation, but decreased over time in all patients. Changes in alveolar markers did not correlate with changes in endothelial, cardiac, or renal injury markers. In contrast, endothelial markers were similar to lower at Day 0 for invasive ventilation versus spontaneous ventilation, but then increased over time only among intubated patients. In intubated patients, angiopoietin-2 was similar (fold difference, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.89-1.17) to nonintubated patients at Day 0 but 1.80-fold higher (95% CI, 1.56-2.06) at Day 3; cardiorenovascular injury markers showed similar patterns. Endothelial markers were not consistently associated with ventilatory ratios. Endothelial markers were more often significantly associated with 28-day outcomes than alveolar markers. Conclusions: Alveolar injury markers increase early. Endothelial injury markers increase later and are associated with cardiorenovascular injury and 28-day outcome. Alveolar and endothelial injury likely contribute at different times to disease progression in severe COVID-19.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperreninemia after cardiac surgery is associated with cardiovascular instability. Angiotensin II (AT-II) could potentially attenuate hyperreninemia while maintaining target blood pressure. This study assesses the association between AT-II usage and renin levels in cardiac surgery patients with postoperative hyperreninemia and vasoplegia. METHODS Between September 2020 and March 2021, we retrospectively identified 40 cardiac surgery patients with high Δ-renin levels (4 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass [CPB] minus preoperative levels) (defined as higher than 3.7 µU/mL) and vasopressor use who received a vasopressor therapy with either AT-II or continued norepinephrine alone. The primary outcome was the renin plasma level at 12 hours after surgery, adjusted by the renin plasma level at 4 hours after surgery. RESULTS Overall, the median renin plasma concentration increased from a baseline with median of 44.3 µU/mL (Q1-Q3, 14.6-155.5) to 188.6 µU/mL (Q1-Q3, 29.8-379.0) 4 hours after CPB. High Δ-renin (difference between postoperation and preoperation) patients (higher than 3.7 µU/mL) were then treated with norepinephrine alone (median dose of 3.25 mg [Q1-Q3, 1.00-4.75]) or with additional AT-II (norepinephrine dose: 1.33 mg [Q1-Q3, 0.78-2.04]; AT-II dose: 0.34 mg [Q1-Q3, 0.29-0.78]). At 12 hours after surgery, AT-II patients had lower renin levels than standard of care patients (71.7 µU/mL [Q1-Q3, 21.9-211.4] vs 130.6 µU/mL [Q1-Q3, 62.9-317.0]; P = .034 adjusting for the renin plasma level at 4 hours after surgery). CONCLUSIONS In cardiac surgery patients with hypotonia and postoperative high Δ-renin levels, AT-II was associated with reduced renin plasma levels for at 12 hours and significantly decreased norepinephrine use, while norepinephrine alone was associated with increased renin levels. Further studies of AT-II in cardiac surgery appear justified.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Angiotensin II (Ang-2) is a non-catecholamine vasopressor that targets the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system by agonism of the angiotensin type 1 receptor. Its utility as a vasopressor and a catecholamine-sparing agent was demonstrated in the pivotal ATHOS-3 trial, and numerous post-hoc analyses have shown reduced mortality in certain subsets of the population. METHODS Consecutive adult patients at 5 centers who received Ang-2 from 2017-2020 were included in this multicenter, retrospective observational cohort study. Patient demographics, hemodynamics, and adverse events were collected. The primary outcomes of the study were the mean difference in MAP and norepinephrine (NEpi)-equivalent dose at hours 0 and 3 following initiation of Ang-2 therapy. RESULTS One hundred and sixty-two patients were included in this study. The primary outcomes of an increase in MAP (mean difference 9.3 mmHg, 95% CI 6.4-12.1, p < 0.001) and a reduction in NEpi equivalent dose (mean difference 0.16 µg/kg/min, 95% CI 0.10-0.22, p < 0.001) between hours 0 and 3 were statistically significant. The median time to reach a MAP ≥65 was 16 minutes (IQR 5-60 min). After stratifying patients by the NED dose and number of vasopressors administered prior to the initiation of Ang-2, those with a NED dose < 0.2 µg/kg/min, NED dose < 0.3 µg/kg/min, or those on ≤ 3 vasopressors had a significantly greater reduction in NED by hour 3 than those patients above these thresholds. CONCLUSION Ang-2 is an effective vasopressor and reduces catecholamine dose significantly. Its effect is rapid, with target MAP obtained within 30 minutes in most patients. Given the critical importance of adequate blood pressure to organ perfusion, Ang-2 should be considered when target MAP cannot be achieved with conventional vasopressors. Ang-2 should be utilized early in the course of shock, before the NED dose exceeds 0.2-0.3 µg/kg/min and before the initiation of the fourth-line vasopressor.

Abstract
"Acute kidney injury" (AKI) describes any acute deterioration in kidney function but also only injury to the kidneys without a severe loss of function. It is a common and severe complication in patients on the intensive care unit with a significant impact on patient's mortality and morbidity. Since no specific pharmacological therapy exists, the early identification of patients at risk for AKI or with acute kidney damage is most important before renal function further deteriorates. A stage-based management of AKI comprises more general measures like discontinuation of nephrotoxic agent but most importantly early hemodynamic stabilization. Recent research has contradicted that AKI is renal ischemia caused by vasoconstriction with consecutive tubular necrosis. In septic AKI renal blood flow is even increased. Intrarenal vasodilation together with microcirculatory changes and redistribution of blood flow are leading to a drop in glomerular filtration by functional changes. Accordingly, it had to be learned that not vasodilators, but vasoconstrictors are beneficial in AKI. A mean arterial blood pressure target of > 65 mmHg is often recommended but exact targets are not known and patients with preexisting hypertension do even need a higher perfusion pressure. Also, the concept that fluid therapy is always beneficial for the kidney in shock states had to be revised. A volume restrictive therapy with balanced, chloride restricted crystalloids only, is important also in AKI. Exposure to contrast material is often associated with AKI but less common the direct cause of AKI, so if indicated, contrast material should not be withheld in patients at risk for AKI.

Abstract
Clinical and pathophysiological understanding of septic shock has progressed exponentially in the previous decades, translating into a steady decrease in septic shock-related morbidity and mortality. Even though large randomized, controlled trials have addressed fundamental aspects of septic shock resuscitation, many questions still exist. In this review, we will describe the current standards of septic shock resuscitation, but the emphasis will be placed on evolving concepts in different domains such as clinical resuscitation targets, adequate use of fluids and vasoactive drugs, refractory shock, and the use of extracorporeal therapies. Multiple research opportunities remain open, and collaborative endeavors should be performed to fill in these gaps.

Abstract
Sepsis is a condition characterized by life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. The emergency department (ED) serves as a crucial entry point for patients presenting with sepsis. Given the heterogeneous presentation and high mortality rate associated with sepsis and septic shock, several clinical controversies have emerged in the management of sepsis. These include the use of novel therapeutic agents like angiotensin II, hydrocortisone, ascorbic acid, thiamine ("HAT") therapy, and levosimendan, Additionally, controversies with current treatments in vasopressor dosing, and the use of and balanced or unbalanced crystalloid are crucial to consider. The purpose of this review is to discuss clinical controversies in the management of septic patients, including the use of novel medications and dosing strategies, to assist providers in appropriately determining what treatment strategy is best suited for patients.

J Crit Care 2021; 67:66-71. [PMID: 34689063 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcrc.2021.09.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2021] [Revised: 09/13/2021] [Accepted: 09/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Hydroxocobalamin has been observed to cause transient hypertension in healthy subjects, but rigorous studies examining its efficacy are lacking. MATERIALS AND METHODS Adults in shock who received hydroxocobalamin from 2017 to 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. Hourly hemodynamics from 24 h before and after treatment were collected, and the difference and hourly change of mean arterial pressure (MAP), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and norepinephrine-equivalent dose (NED) were examined in mixed-effects models. RESULTS This study included 3992 hemodynamic data points from 35 patients and is the largest case series to date. In the mixed effects model, there was no difference in MAP 24-h after hydroxocobalamin administration (estimated fixed effect [EFE] -0.2 mmHg, p = 0.89). A two-piecewise mixed model found that the hourly change in MAP was not different from zero in either the pre-administration (EFE 0.0 mmHg/h, p = 0.80) or post-administration segments (EFE 0.0 mmHg/h, p = 0.55). Analysis of the SBP, DBP, and NED also found similar insignificant results. CONCLUSIONS Although hydroxocobalamin has been observed to cause hypertension in healthy subjects, our results suggest that in patients with shock, hydroxocobalamin may not be effective in improving hemodynamics at 24 h after administration.

Abstract
ABSTRACT We sought to review the pharmacology of vasoactive therapy and fluid administration in sepsis and septic shock, with specific insight into the physiologic interplay of these agents. A PubMed/MEDLINE search was conducted using the following terms (vasopressor OR vasoactive OR inotrope) AND (crystalloid OR colloid OR fluid) AND (sepsis) AND (shock OR septic shock) from 1965 to October 2020. A total of 1,022 citations were reviewed with only relevant clinical data extracted. While physiologic rationale provides a hypothetical foundation for interaction between fluid and vasopressor administration, few studies have sought to evaluate the clinical impact of this synergy. Current guidelines are not in alignment with the data available, which suggests a potential benefit from low-dose fluid administration and early vasopressor exposure. Future data must account for the impact of both of these pharmacotherapies when assessing clinical outcomes and should assess personalization of therapy based on the possible interaction.

A Clinical Proposition. J Clin Med 2021; 10:4569. [PMID: 34640590 PMCID: PMC8509206 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10194569] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2021] [Revised: 08/05/2021] [Accepted: 09/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Mortality in the setting of septic shock varies between 20% and 100%. Refractory septic shock leads to early circulatory failure and carries the worst prognosis. The pathophysiology is poorly understood despite studies of the microcirculatory defects and the immuno-paralysis. The acute circulatory distress is treated with volume expansion, administration of vasopressors (usually noradrenaline: NA), and inotropes. Ventilation and anti-infectious strategy shall not be discussed here. When circulation is considered, the literature is segregated between interventions directed to the systemic circulation vs. interventions directed to the micro-circulation. Our thesis is that, after stabilization of the acute cardioventilatory distress, the prolonged sympathetic hyperactivity is detrimental in the setting of septic shock. Our hypothesis is that the sympathetic hyperactivity observed in septic shock being normalized towards baseline activity will improve the microcirculation by recoupling the capillaries and the systemic circulation. Therefore, counterintuitively, antihypertensive agents such as beta-blockers or alpha-2 adrenergic agonists (clonidine, dexmedetomidine) are useful. They would reduce the noradrenaline requirements. Adjuncts (vitamins, steroids, NO donors/inhibitors, etc.) proposed to normalize the sepsis-evoked vasodilation are not reviewed. This itemized approach (systemic vs. microcirculation) requires physiological and epidemiological studies to look for reduced mortality.

Abstract
Sepsis represents a severe condition that predisposes patients to a high risk of death if its progression is not ended. As with other time-dependent conditions, the performance of determinant interventions has led to significant survival benefits and quality-of-care improvements in acute emergency care. Thus, the initial interventions in sepsis are a cornerstone for prognosis in most patients. Even though the evidence supporting the hour-1 bundle is perfectible, real-life application of thoughtful and organized sepsis care has improved survival and quality of care in settings promoting compliance to evidence-based treatments. Current evidence for implementing the Surviving Sepsis Campaign bundles for early sepsis management is moving forward to better approaches as more substantial evidence evolves.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acute kidney injury is a common occurrence in patients with sepsis and portends a high mortality as well as increased morbidity with numerous sequelae including the development of chronic kidney disease. Currently, there are no specific therapies that either prevent AKI or hasten its recovery. Thus, clinicians typically rely on management of the underlying infection, optimization of hemodynamic parameters as well as avoidance of nephrotoxins to maximize outcomes. AREAS COVERED Recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of sepsis as well as how these pathways may interact to lead to acute kidney injury have opened the door to the development of new, targeted therapies. This review focuses on the operative pathways in sepsis that have been identified as critical in leading to acute kidney injury and associated therapeutic agents that target these pathways. EXPERT OPINION Despite increased understanding of the pathogenesis of sepsis, development of effective therapeutics to decrease the incidence of AKI have lagged. This is likely due to the complex pathophysiology with overlapping pathways and need for multiple therapies guided by specific biomarkers. Biomarkers that detail operative pathways may be able to guide the institution of more specific therapies with the hope for improved outcomes.

Prior Exposure to Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers in Patients With Septic Shock to Individualize Mean Arterial Pressure Target? A Post Hoc Analysis of the Sepsis and Mean Arterial Pressure (SEPSISPAM) Trial. Crit Care Med 2021; 49:e412-e422.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Individualizing a target mean arterial pressure is challenging during the initial resuscitation of patients with septic shock. The Sepsis and Mean Arterial Pressure (SEPSISPAM) trial suggested that targeting high mean arterial pressure might reduce the occurrence of acute kidney injury among those included patients with a past history of chronic hypertension. We investigated whether the class of antihypertensive medications used before the ICU stay in chronic hypertensive patients was associated with the severity of acute kidney injury occurring after inclusion, according to mean arterial pressure target. DESIGN Post hoc analysis of the SEPSISPAM trial. SETTING The primary outcome was the occurrence of severe acute kidney injury during the ICU stay defined as kidney disease improving global outcome stage 2 or higher. Secondary outcomes were mortality at day 28 and mortality at day 90. PATIENTS All patients with chronic hypertension included in SEPSISPAM with available antihypertensive medications data in the hospitalization report were included. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS We analyzed 297 patients. Severe acute kidney injury occurred in 184 patients, without difference according to pre-ICU exposure to antihypertensive medications. Patients with pre-ICU exposure to angiotensin II receptor blockers had significantly less severe acute kidney injury in the high mean arterial pressure target group (adjusted odd ratio 0.24 with 95% CI [0.09-0.66]; p = 0.006). No statistically significant association was found after adjustment for pre-ICU exposure to antihypertensive medications and survival. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that patients with septic shock and chronic hypertension treated with angiotensin II receptor blocker may benefit from a high mean arterial pressure target to reduce the risk of acute kidney injury occurrence.

Abstract
Up to one-third of all patients admitted to intensive care units carry a diagnosis of shock. The use of angiotensin II is becoming widespread in all forms of shock, including cardiogenic, after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) initial approval for vasoplegic shock in 2017. Here, the authors review the literature on angiotensin II's mechanism of action, benefits, and future therapeutic opportunities.

Abstract
The renin–angiotensin system (RAS) has long been described in the field of cardiovascular physiology as the main player in blood pressure homeostasis. However, other effects have since been described, and include proliferation, fibrosis, and inflammation. To illustrate the immunomodulatory properties of the RAS, we chose three distinct fields in which RAS may play a critical role and be the subject of specific treatments. In oncology, RAS hyperactivation has been associated with tumor migration, survival, cell proliferation, and angiogenesis; preliminary data showed promise of the benefit of RAS blockers in patients treated for certain types of cancer. In intensive care medicine, vasoplegic shock has been associated with severe macro- and microcirculatory imbalance. A relative insufficiency in angiotensin II (AngII) was associated to lethal outcomes and synthetic AngII has been suggested as a specific treatment in these cases. Finally, in solid organ transplantation, both AngI and AngII have been associated with increased rejection events, with a regional specificity in the RAS activity. These elements emphasize the complexity of the direct and indirect interactions of RAS with immunomodulatory pathways and warrant further research in the field.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is now recognized as a heterogeneous syndrome that not only affects acute morbidity and mortality, but also a patient’s long-term prognosis. In this narrative review, an update on various aspects of AKI in critically ill patients will be provided. Focus will be on prediction and early detection of AKI (e.g., the role of biomarkers to identify high-risk patients and the use of machine learning to predict AKI), aspects of pathophysiology and progress in the recognition of different phenotypes of AKI, as well as an update on nephrotoxicity and organ cross-talk. In addition, prevention of AKI (focusing on fluid management, kidney perfusion pressure, and the choice of vasopressor) and supportive treatment of AKI is discussed. Finally, post-AKI risk of long-term sequelae including incident or progression of chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular events and mortality, will be addressed.

Abstract
Objective: The use of angiotensin II in invasively ventilated patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is controversial. Its effect on organ function is unknown. Design: Prospective observational study. Setting: Intensive care unit (ICU) of a tertiary academic hospital in Milan, Italy. Participants: Adult patients receiving mechanical ventilation due to COVID-19. Interventions: Use angiotensin II either as rescue vasopressor agent or as low dose vasopressor support. Main outcome measures: Patients treated before angiotensin II was available or treated in an adjacent COVID-19 ICU served as controls. For data analysis, we applied Bayesian modelling as appropriate. We assessed the effects of angiotensin II on organ function. Results: We compared 46 patients receiving angiotensin II therapy with 53 controls. Compared with controls, angiotensin II increased the mean arterial pressure (median difference, 9.05 mmHg; 95% CI, 1.87-16.22; P = 0.013) and the PaO2/FiO2 ratio (median difference, 23.17; 95% CI, 3.46-42.88; P = 0.021), and decreased the odds ratio (OR) of liver dysfunction (OR, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.09-0.94). However, angiotensin II had no effect on lactate, urinary output, serum creatinine, C-reactive protein, platelet count, or thromboembolic complications. In patients with abnormal baseline serum creatinine, Bayesian modelling showed that angiotensin II carried a 95.7% probability of reducing the use of renal replacement therapy (RRT). Conclusions: In ventilated patients with COVID-19, angiotensin II therapy increased blood pressure and PaO2/FiO2 ratios, decreased the OR of liver dysfunction, and appeared to decrease the risk of RRT use in patients with abnormal baseline serum creatinine. However, all of these findings are hypothesis-generating only. Trial registration:ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04318366.

Abstract
Sepsis management demands early diagnosis and timely treatment that includes source control, antimicrobial therapy, and resuscitation. Currently employed diagnostic tools are ill-equipped to rapidly diagnose sepsis and isolate the offending pathogen, which limits the ability to offer targeted and lowest-toxicity treatment. Cutting edge diagnostics and therapeutics in development may improve time to diagnosis and address two broad management principles: (1) source control by removing the molecular infectious stimulus of sepsis, and (2) attenuation of the pathological immune response allowing the body to heal. This review addresses novel diagnostics and therapeutics and their role in the management of sepsis.

Abstract
This case report explores the novel use of angiotensin II (Giapreza) for the treatment of vasodilation in the setting of a tricyclic overdose. The purpose of this case is to describe how the use of angiotensin II can improve hemodynamic parameters and result in a dose reduction of other catecholamine vasopressors in vasodilatory shock. The use of angiotensin II is new to clinical practice and has the potential to change outcomes for patients.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common clinical syndrome characterized by rapid impairment of kidney function. The incidence of AKI and its severe form AKI requiring dialysis (AKI-D) has been increasing over the years. AKI etiology may be multifactorial and is substantially associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The outcome of AKI-D can vary from partial or complete recovery to transitioning to chronic kidney disease, end stage kidney disease, or even death. Predicting outcomes of patients with AKI is crucial as it may allow clinicians to guide policy regarding adequate management of this problem and offer the best long-term options to their patients in advance. In this manuscript, we will review the current evidence regarding the determinants of AKI outcomes, focusing on AKI-D.

Nefrologia 2021; 41:102-114.

Abstract
Renal replacement therapies (RRT) as support for acute kidney injury in critically ill patients have become a routine and essential practice in their management, resulting in the widespread use of various techniques among these patients, such as intermittent hemodialysis (IHD), extended hemodialysis and continuous RRT (CRRT). In this review we aim to summarize current evidence of indication, choice of modality, timing of initiation, dosing and technical aspects of RRT. We carried out a narrative review based on guidelines, consensus documents by main working groups and the latest relevant clinical trials on RRT in the critically ill. We did not find enough evidence of any RRT modality having superior benefits in terms of patient survival, length of intensive care unit/hospital stay or renal outcomes among critically ill patients, in spite of optimization of clinical indication, modality, timing of initiation and intensity of initial therapy. This is still a controverted matter, since only early start of high-flux CRRT has been proven beneficial over IHD among hemodynamically unstable postoperative patients. Our objective is to portrait current RRT practices in multidisciplinary management of critically ill patients by intensive care and nephrology professionals. Implication of a nephrologist in the assessment of hemodynamic status, coexisting medical conditions, renal outcome expectations and management of resources could potentially have benefits at the time of RRT selection and troubleshooting.
