Abstract
PURPOSE We evaluated the renal arterial resistive index (RRI), urine monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (uMCP-1), and urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) to predict acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill cancer patients. METHODS In this prospective study, we included patients without AKI. We compared the area under the curve (AUC) of RRI, uMCP-1, and uNGAL to predict any stage of AKI and stage-3 AKI with the DeLong method, and we established cutoff points with the Youden index. RESULTS We included 64 patients, and 43 (67.2%) developed AKI. The AUC to predict AKI were: 0.714 (95% CI 0.587-0.820) for the RRI, 0.656 (95% CI 0.526-0.770) for uMCP-1, and 0.677 (95% CI 0.549-0.789) for uNGAL. The AUC to predict stage-3 AKI were: 0.740 (95% CI 0.615-0.842) for the RRI, 0.757 (95% CI 0.633-0.855) for uMCP-1, and 0.817 (95% CI 0.701-0.903) for uNGAL, without statistical differences among them. For stage 3 AKI prediction, the sensitivity and specificity were: 56.3% and 87.5% for a RRI > 0.705; 70% and 79.2% for an uMCP-1 > 2169 ng/mL; and 87.5% and 70.8% for a uNGAL > 200 ng/mL. The RRI was significantly correlated to age (r = 0.280), estimated glomerular filtration rate (r = - 0.259), mean arterial pressure (r = - 0.357), and serum lactate (r = 0.276). CONCLUSION The RRI, uMCP-1, and uNGAL have a similar ability to predict AKI. The RRI is more specific, while urine biomarkers are more sensitive to predict stage 3 AKI. The RRI correlates with hemodynamic variables. The novel uMCP-1 could be a useful biomarker that needs to be extensively studied.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION During the postoperative stay in the intensive care unit after kidney transplantation, the renal resistive index (RI) is routinely measured. An increased RI, measured months posttransplant, is associated with a higher mortality. We wanted to investigate the value of the RI immediately posttransplant in predicting both short- and long-term outcome. METHODS We performed a retrospective single-center study. The RI was collected <48 h posttransplant in patients undergoing kidney transplantations between 2005 and 2014. Short-term outcome was evaluated by delayed graft function (DGF). The long-term endpoints were kidney function and mortality at 30 days, 1 year and 5 years. RESULTS We included 478 recipients, 91.4% of whom reached the end of the 5-year follow-up. A higher RI < 48 h posttransplant was significantly associated with DGF. This association was particularly strong in patients receiving grafts from donors after brain death and expanded criteria donors. A higher RI also correlated with mortality and death with functioning graft but not with graft failure. After adjustment for confounders, we found an association between increased RI and DGF, but not with long-term kidney function or mortality. CONCLUSION The RI routinely measured <48 h posttransplant is an independent predictor of short-term kidney function.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate renal responsiveness in oliguric critically ill patients after a fluid challenge. Methods We conducted a prospective observational study in one university intensive care unit. Patients with urine output < 0.5mL/kg/h for 3 hours with a mean arterial pressure > 60mmHg received a fluid challenge. We examined renal fluid responsiveness (defined as urine output > 0.5mL/kg/h for 3 hours) after fluid challenge. Results Forty-two patients (age 67 ± 13 years; APACHE II score 16 ± 6) were evaluated. Patient characteristics were similar between renal responders and renal nonresponders. Thirteen patients (31%) were renal responders. Hemodynamic or perfusion parameters were not different between those who did and those who did not increase urine output before the fluid challenge. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves were calculated for mean arterial pressure, heart rate, creatinine, urea, creatinine clearance, urea/creatinine ratio and lactate before the fluid challenge. None of these parameters were sensitive or specific enough to predict reversal of oliguria. Conclusion After achieving hemodynamic stability, oliguric patients did not increase urine output after a fluid challenge. Systemic hemodynamic, perfusion or renal parameters were weak predictors of urine responsiveness. Our results suggest that volume replacement to correct oliguria in patients without obvious hypovolemia should be done with caution.

Abstract
Introduction: Shock is characterized by micro- and macrovascular flow impairment contributing to acute kidney injury (AKI). Routine monitoring of the circulation regards the macrocirculation but not the renal circulation which can be assessed with Doppler ultrasound as renal resistive index (RRI). RRI reflects resistance to flow. High RRI predicts persistent AKI. Study aims were to determine whether RRI is elevated in shock and to identify determinants of RRI. Materials and Methods: This prospective observational cohort study included two cohorts of patients, with and without shock less than 24-h after intensive care admission. Apart from routine monitoring, three study measurements were performed simultaneously: RRI, sublingual microcirculation, and bioelectral impedance analysis. Results: A total of 92 patients were included (40 shock, 52 nonshock), median age was 69 [60–76] vs. 67 [59–76], P = 0.541; APACHE III was 87 [65–119] vs. 57 [45–69], P < 0.001. Shock patients had higher RRI than patients without shock (0.751 [0.692–0.788] vs. 0.654 [0.610–0.686], P < 0.001). Overall, high age, APACHE III score, lactate, vasopressor support, pulse pressure index (PPI), central venous pressure (CVP), fluid balance, and low preadmission estimated glomerular filtration rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP), creatinine clearance, and reactance/m were associated with high RRI at univariable regression (P < 0.01). Microcirculatory markers were not. At multivariable regression, vasopressor support, CVP, PPI and MAP, reactance/m, and preadmission eGFR were independent determinants of RRI (n = 92, adj. R2 = 0.587). Conclusions: Patients with shock have a higher RRI than patients without shock. Independent determinants of high RRI were pressure indices of the systemic circulation, low membrane capacitance, and preadmission renal dysfunction. Markers of the sublingual microcirculation were not.

Abstract
Sufficient organ perfusion essentially depends on preserved macro- and micro-circulation. The last two decades brought substantial progress in the development of less and non-invasive monitoring of macro-hemodynamics. However, several recent studies suggest a frequent incoherence of macro- and micro-circulation. Therefore, this review reports on interactions of macro- and micro-circulation as well as on specific regional and micro-circulation. Regarding global micro-circulation the last two decades brought advances in a more systematic approach of clinical examination including capillary refill time, a graded assessment of mottling of the skin and accurate measurement of body surface temperatures. As a kind of link between macro- and microcirculation, a number of biochemical markers can easily be obtained. Among those are central-venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2), plasma lactate and the difference between central-venous and arterial CO2 (cv-a-pCO2-gap). These inexpensive markers have become part of clinical routine and guideline recommendations. While their potential to replace parameters of macro-circulation such as cardiac output (CO) is limited, they facilitate the interpretation of the adequacy of CO and other macro-circulatory markers. Furthermore, they give additional hints on micro-circulatory impairment. In addition, a number of more sophisticated technical approaches to quantify and visualize micro-circulation including video-microscopy, laser flowmetry, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), and partial oxygen pressure measurement have been introduced within the last 20 years. These technologies have been extensively used for scientific purposes. Moreover, they have been successfully used for educational purposes and to visualize micro-circulatory disturbances during sepsis and other causes of shock. Despite several studies demonstrating the association of these techniques and parameters with outcome, their practical application still is limited. However, future improvements in automated and “online” diagnosis will help to make these technologies more applicable in clinical routine. This approach is promising with regard to several studies which demonstrated the potential to guide therapy in different types of shock. Finally several organs have specific patterns of circulation related to their special anatomy (liver) or their auto-regulatory capacities (brain, kidney). Therefore, this review also discusses specific issues of monitoring liver, brain, and kidney circulation and function.

Abstract
The use of renal resistive indices (RRIs) for the study of renal microcirculation has in the past been proposed for the identification of renal organ damage or even to specifically identify injury to some areas of the renal parenchyma. Nevertheless, according to the most recent evidences from literature this organ-based conception of RRIs has been proven to be partial and unable to explain the RRIs variations in clinical settings of sepsis or combined organ failure of primitively extrarenal origin or, more generally, the deep connection between RRIs and hemodynamic factors such as compliance and pulsatility of the large vessels. The aim of this review is to explain the physiopathological basis of RRIs determination and the most common interpretative errors in their analysis. Moreover, through a comprehensive vision of these Doppler indices, the traditional and emerging clinical application fields for RRIs are discussed.

Abstract
Introduction: After a kidney transplant, it is unknown whether the maintenance of a functioning hemodialysis arteriovenous access could have deleterious effects on renal grafts. We hypothesize that maintaining an arteriovenous access can deviate a significant proportion of the cardiac output from the renal graft. The aim of this study was to investigate whether a temporary closure of the arteriovenous access could lead to an increase in graft perfusion. Methods: We conducted a study in 17 kidney-transplanted patients with a functioning arteriovenous access. We evaluated, at baseline and 30 s after compression of the arteriovenous access (access flow occlusion), the hemodynamic parameters and the renal resistive index of the graft by Doppler ultrasound. Results: After arteriovenous access occlusion 82.4% (n = 14) of the patients had a decrease in resistive index. All patients had a decrease in heart rate (67 vs 58 bpm, p < 0.001) and 14 (82.4%) had an increase in mean blood pressure (98.3 vs 101.7 mm Hg, p = 0.044). There was a significant decrease in the resistive index (ΔRI) after the access occlusion (0.68 vs 0.64, p = 0.030). We found a negative correlation in Qa (r2 = −0.55, p = 0.022) with the ΔRI, and Qa was an independent predictor of ΔRI in a model adjusted to pre-occlusion resistive index. Conclusion: Our results showed that temporary occlusion of an arteriovenous access causes a significant decline in renal graft resistive index and this decline is higher with the occlusion of accesses with higher Qa. These results suggest that the maintenance of arteriovenous accesses, mainly those with higher Qa, can decrease renal graft perfusion.

Abstract
The approach to the patient with acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery involves multiple aspects. These include the rapid recognition of reversible causes, the accurate identification of patients who will progress to severe stages of AKI, and the subsequent management of complications resulting from severe renal dysfunction. Unfortunately, the inherent limitations of physical examination and laboratory parameter results are often responsible for suboptimal clinical management. In this review article, the authors explore how point-of-care ultrasound, including renal and extrarenal ultrasound, can be used to complement all aspects of the care of cardiac surgery patients with AKI, from the initial approach of early AKI to fluid balance management during renal replacement therapy. The current evidence is reviewed, including knowledge gaps and future areas of research.

Abstract
PURPOSE Doppler-based renal resistance index (RI) can be measured at the bedside of critically ill patients. This study was designed to assess if the RI predicted an increase in cardiac output (CO) following passive leg-raising (PLR) in patients admitted to the intensive care unit after cardiac surgery. METHODS During this single center prospective study, Doppler assessment of RI and measurements of CO using the thermodilution method were performed, after surgery, in the intensive care unit before and after PLR. A positive response to PLR was defined as a ≥10% increase in CO. RESULTS We included 30 patients. The mean RI was higher before (0.694 ±0.069) than after PLR (0.679 ± 0.069) (P = .02) with a median change of -0.012 (IQR: -0.042;0.000). Following PLR, 9 patients (30%) had a >10% increase in CO. In patients with a positive PLR response, the decrease in the RI during PLR was more pronounced than in patients who did not respond to PLR (PLR ± 0.042 (IQR: -0.051; -0.040) vs PLR ± -0.008 (IQR: -0.032; 0.015) (P = .004). There was a significant negative association between RI change in response to PLR and a 10% increase in CO following PLR (OR: 1.63 (CI:1.07-2.47) (P = .02) per -0.01 change). CONCLUSION An increase in CO following PLR was associated with a significant decrease in RI. Variations of RI in response to PLR should be further studied as a tool to predict fluid responsiveness. However, their clinical utility could be limited by the small magnitude of the variations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Conventional clinical wisdom has often been nihilistic regarding the prevention and management of acute kidney injury (AKI), despite its being a frequent and morbid complication associated with both increased mortality and cost. Recent developments have shown that AKI is not inevitable and that changes in management of patients can reduce both the incidence and morbidity of perioperative AKI. The purpose of this narrative review was to review the epidemiology and outcomes of AKI in patients undergoing vascular surgery using current consensus definitions, to discuss some of the novel emerging risk stratification and prevention techniques relevant to the vascular surgery patient, and to describe a standardized perioperative pathway for the prevention of AKI after vascular surgery. METHODS We performed a critical review of the literature on AKI in the vascular surgery patient using the PubMed and MEDLINE databases and Google Scholar through September 2017 using web-based search engines. We also searched the guidelines and publications available online from the organizations Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes and the Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative. The search terms used included acute kidney injury, AKI, epidemiology, outcomes, prevention, therapy, and treatment. RESULTS The reported epidemiology and outcomes associated with AKI have been evolving since the publication of consensus criteria that allow accurate identification of mild and moderate AKI. The incidence of AKI after major vascular surgery using current criteria is as high as 49%, although there are significant differences, depending on the type of procedure performed. Many tools have become available to assess and to stratify the risk for AKI and to use that information to prevent AKI in the surgical patient. We describe a standardized clinical assessment and management pathway for vascular surgery patients, incorporating current risk assessment and preventive strategies to prevent AKI and to decrease its complications. Patients without any risk factors can be managed in a perioperative fast-track pathway. Those patients with positive risk factors are tested for kidney stress using the urinary biomarker TIMP-2•IGFBP7, and care is then stratified according to the result. Management follows current Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes guidelines. CONCLUSIONS AKI is a common postoperative complication among vascular surgery patients and has a significant impact on morbidity, mortality, and cost. Preoperative risk assessment and optimal perioperative management guided by that risk assessment can minimize the consequences associated with postoperative AKI. Adherence to a standardized perioperative pathway designed to reduce risk of AKI after major vascular surgery offers a promising clinical approach to mitigate the incidence and severity of this challenging clinical problem.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in surgical patients and is associated with increases in mortality, an increased risk for chronic kidney disease and hemodialysis after discharge, and increased cost. Better understanding of the risk factors that contribute to perioperative AKI has led to improved AKI prediction and will eventually lead to improved prevention of AKI, mitigation of injury when AKI occurs, and enhanced recovery in patients who sustain AKI. The development of advanced clinical prediction scores for AKI, new imaging techniques, and novel biomarkers for early detection of AKI provides new tools toward these ends.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a multifaceted syndrome that occurs in different settings. The course of AKI can be variable, from single hit and complete recovery, to multiple hits resulting in end-stage renal disease. No interventions to improve outcomes of established AKI have yet been developed, so prevention and early diagnosis are key. Awareness campaigns and education for health-care professionals on diagnosis and management of AKI-with attention to avoidance of volume depletion, hypotension, and nephrotoxic interventions-coupled with electronic early warning systems where available can improve outcomes. Biomarker-based strategies have not shown improvements in outcome. Fluid management should aim for early, rapid restoration of circulatory volume, but should be more limited after the first 24-48 h to avoid volume overload. Use of balanced crystalloid solutions versus normal saline remains controversial. Renal replacement therapy should only be started on the basis of hard criteria, but should not be delayed when criteria are met. On the basis of recent evidence, the risk of contrast-induced AKI might be overestimated for many conditions.
