Abstract
BACKGROUND Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is an acute renal complication that occurs after intravascular contrast agent administration. Sodium selenite (SS) is an inorganic source of Se and has potent antioxidant properties. This study intends to examine its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in CI-AKI. METHODS A rat CI-AKI model was established with the pretreatment of SS (0.35 mg/kg). Hematoxylin-eosin staining was employed for histopathological analysis of rat kidney specimens. Biochemical analysis was conducted for renal function detection. Tissue levels of oxidative stress-related markers were estimated. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction revealed the mRNA levels of proinflammatory cytokines. Western blotting showed the Nrf2 signaling-related protein expression in the rat kidney. RESULTS SS administration alleviated the renal pathological changes and reduced the serum levels of serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, cystatin C, and urinary level of kidney injury molecule-1 in CI-AKI rats. SS attenuated oxidative stress and inflammatory response in CI-AKI rat kidney tissues. SS activated the Nrf2 signaling transduction in the renal tissues of rats with CI-AKI. CONCLUSION SS ameliorates CI-AKI in rats by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation via the Nrf2 signaling.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Contrast media (CM) is a commonly applied drug in medical examination and surgery. However, contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI) poses a severe threat to human life and health. Notably, the CUT-like homeobox 1 (CUX1) gene shows protective effects in a variety of cells. Therefore, the objective of this study was to provide a new target for the treatment of CIAKI through exploring the role and possible molecular mechanism of CUX1 in CIAKI. METHOD Blood samples were collected from 20 patients with CIAKI and healthy volunteers. Human kidney 2 (HK-2) cells were incubated with 200 mg/mL iohexol for 6 h to establish a contrast-induced injury model of HK-2 cells. Subsequently, qRT-PCR was used to detect the relative mRNA expression of CUX1; CCK-8 and flow cytometry to assess the proliferation and apoptosis of HK-2 cells; the levels of IL(interleukin)-1β, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in cells and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in cell culture supernatant were detect; and western blot to observe the expression levels of CUX1 and the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway related proteins [phosphorylated phosphoinositide 3-kinase (p-PI3K), PI3K, phosphorylated Akt (p-AKT), AKT]. RESULTS CUX1 expression was significantly downregulated in blood samples of patients with CIAKI and contrast-induced HK-2 cells. Contrast media (CM; iohexol) treatment significantly reduced the proliferation of HK-2 cells, promoted apoptosis, stimulated inflammation and oxidative stress that caused cell damage. CUX1 overexpression alleviated cell damage by significantly improving the proliferation level of HK-2 cells induced by CM, inhibiting cell apoptosis, and reducing the level of LDH in culture supernatant and the expression of IL-1β, TNF-α and MDA in cells. CM treatment significantly inhibited the activity of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway activity. Nevertheless, up-regulating CUX1 could activate the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway activity in HK-2 cells induced by CM. CONCLUSION CUX1 promotes cell proliferation, inhibits apoptosis, and reduces inflammation and oxidative stress in CM-induced HK-2 cells to alleviate CM-induced damage. The mechanism of CUX1 may be correlated with activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Early Identification of Sepsis-Induced Acute Kidney Injury by Using Monocyte Distribution Width, Red-Blood-Cell Distribution, and Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio. Diagnostics (Basel) 2024; 14:918. [PMID: 38732331 PMCID: PMC11083534 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics14090918] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2024] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in patients with severe illness and leads to increased risks of mortality and chronic kidney disease. We investigated the association between monocyte distribution width (MDW), red-blood-cell volume distribution width (RDW), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), sepsis-related organ-failure assessment (SOFA) score, mean arterial pressure (MAP), and other risk factors and sepsis-induced AKI in patients presenting to the emergency department (ED). This retrospective study, spanning 1 January 2020, to 30 November 2020, was conducted at a university-affiliated teaching hospital. Patients meeting the Sepsis-2 consensus criteria upon presentation to our ED were categorized into sepsis-induced AKI and non-AKI groups. Clinical parameters (i.e., initial SOFA score and MAP) and laboratory markers (i.e., MDW, RDW, and NLR) were measured upon ED admission. A logistic regression model was developed, with sepsis-induced AKI as the dependent variable and laboratory parameters as independent variables. Three multivariable logistic regression models were constructed. In Model 1, MDW, initial SOFA score, and MAP exhibited significant associations with sepsis-induced AKI (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.728, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.668-0.789). In Model 2, RDW, initial SOFA score, and MAP were significantly correlated with sepsis-induced AKI (AUC: 0.712, 95% CI: 0.651-0.774). In Model 3, NLR, initial SOFA score, and MAP were significantly correlated with sepsis-induced AKI (AUC: 0.719, 95% CI: 0.658-0.780). Our novel models, integrating MDW, RDW, and NLR with initial SOFA score and MAP, can assist with the identification of sepsis-induced AKI among patients with sepsis presenting to the ED.

Abstract
Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) has become the third leading cause of hospital-acquired AKI, which seriously threatens the health of patients. To date, the precise pathogenesis of CI-AKI has remained not clear and may be related to the direct cytotoxicity, hypoxia and ischemia of medulla, and oxidative stress caused by iodine contrast medium, which have diverse physicochemical properties, including cytotoxicity, permeability and viscosity. The latest research shows that microRNAs (miRNAs) are also involved in apoptosis, pyroptosis, and autophagy which caused by iodine contrast medium (ICM), which may be implicated in the pathogenesis of CI-AKI. Unfortunately, effective therapy of CI-AKI is very limited at present. Therefore, effective prevention of CI-AKI is of great significance, and several preventive options, including hydration, antagonistic vasoconstriction, and antioxidant drugs, have been developed. Here, we review current knowledge about the features of iodine contrast medium, the definition, pathogenesis, molecular mechanism, risk factors, prevention and treatment of CI-AKI.

Abstract
Contrast media are generally necessary for transcatheter left atrial appendage closure (LAAC), however, it should be avoided in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of contrast-free LAAC with WATCHMAN FLX device for patients with CKD. Among 141 patients undergoing LAAC using the WATCHMAN FLX between May 2021 and March 2023, we performed LAAC without contrast media in 10 patients. Procedural and follow-up results were evaluated. The device size was selected based on the transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) measurements. The device shape was assessed by fluoroscopy, and the device position was adjusted by TEE images. The mean age was 78 ± 4.9 years, CHADS2 score was 3.2 ± 1.1, and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 28 ± 12 mL/min/1.73m2. The procedure was completed without contrast media in ten patients. Partial recapture of the device was required in four patients, but the initially selected device was finally implanted in all patients. Mean procedure time was significantly shorter in the contrast-free LAAC than in the contrast-use LAAC (41.6 ± 14.1 min vs 30.3 ± 7.6 min, p = 0.01). Postprocedural eGFR did not change from baseline, and there were no adverse events during the hospital stay. Follow-up TEE or cardiac computed tomography performed within 3 months after the procedure revealed no device-related thrombus or peri-device leak > 3 mm, and oral antithrombotic therapy was discontinued in all patients. Our experience shows that contrast-free LAAC using the WATCHMAN FLX device was safe and feasible. Non-contrast LAAC is one of the therapeutic options for patients with severe CKD.

Abstract
Cardiorenal syndrome is a condition where is a bidirectional and mutually detrimental relationship between the heart and kidneys. The mechanisms underlying cardiorenal syndrome are multifactorial and complex. Patients with kidney disease exhibit increased cardiovascular risk, presenting as coronary and peripheral artery disease, structural heart disease, arrhythmias, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death, largely occurring because of a systemic proinflammatory state, causing myocardial and vascular remodeling, manifesting as atherosclerotic lesions, vascular and valvular calcification, and myocardial fibrosis, particularly among those with advanced disease. This review summarizes the current understanding and clinical implications of kidney disease in patients with cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Promising results with the CHA2DS2-VASc risk score (CVRS) have been reported for the prediction of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). The aim of this study is to consolidate all the data available and examine the association between elevated CVRS and the incidence of CIN in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and Scopus for abstracts and full-text articles from inception to May 2022. Studies were included if they evaluated the association between a high CVRS and the incidence of CIN in patients undergoing PCI. Data were integrated using the random-effects, generic inverse variance method of DerSimonian and Laird. Prospero registration: CRD42022334065. RESULTS Seven studies from 2016 to 2021 with a total of 7,401 patients were included. In patients undergoing PCI, a high CVRS (≥2: Odds ratio [OR]:2.98, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 2.25-3.94, p < .01, I2 = 1%, ≥3: OR 4.46, 95% CI 2.27-8.78, p < .01, I2=56% and ≥4: OR:2.75, 95% CI 1.76-4.30, p < .01, I2 = 11%) was significantly associated with an increase incidence for CIN. Subgroup analyses were done in patients with acute coronary syndrome, and association with CIN remained statistically significant (≥2: OR 2.93, 95% CI 2.11-4.07, p < .01, I2=22%and ≥4: OR:2.24, 95% CI 1.36-3.69, p < .01, I2 = 0%,). CONCLUSION In patients undergoing PCI, an elevated CVRS is associated with an increased risk for CIN. More rigorous studies are needed to clarify this association and to identify strategies to reduce CIN.

Abstract
Iodine contrast agents are essential for diagnostic purposes in radiology and have significant medical benefits. However, they pose a risk of causing allergic reactions or adverse cellular effects. In this study, we examine the in vitro effects of iodine contrast agents (Iopamiro 370, Ultravist 370, Visipaque 320, and Optiray 350) on cellular functions of human peripheral blood mononuclear. The findings reveal that a concentration of 50 mgI/ml of iodine contrast agents causes a 50% reduction in cell viability, but lower concentrations of 2.5, 5.0, and 10.0 mgI/ml do not affect the cell cycle. Furthermore, the contrast agents decrease oxidative stress levels in cells. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that iodine contrast agents can be used safely in appropriate concentrations for diagnostic purposes without affecting the cell cycle and preventing oxidative stress on normal cells. The insights gained from this study could aid in the development of diagnostic contrast agents in the future of medicine.

Abstract
Background The effectiveness of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in treating contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) has been the subject of conflicting meta-analyses, but the strength of the evidence for these correlations between NAC use and CIN has not been measured overall. Objective To evaluate the data from randomized clinical studies (RCTs) that examined the relationships between NAC use and CIN in meta-analyses. Methods Between the creation of the database and April 2023, searches were made in PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Web of Science. N-acetylcysteine, contrast-induced nephropathy, or contrast-induced renal disease were among the search keywords used, along with terms including systematic review and meta-analysis. The Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews, version 2, which assigned grades of extremely low, low, moderate, or high quality to each meta-analysis's scientific quality, was used to evaluate each meta-analysis. The confidence of the evidence in meta-analyses of RCTs was evaluated using the Grading of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluations method, with evidence being rated as very low, low, moderate, or high. Results In total, 493 records were screened; of those, 46 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility, and 12 articles were selected for evidence synthesis as a result of the screening process. Based on the pooled data, which was graded as moderate-quality evidence, it can be concluded that NAC can decrease CIN (OR 0.72, 95% CI 0.65-0.79, p < 0.00001) and blood levels of serum creatinine (MD -0.09, 95% CI -0.17 to -0.01, p = 0.03). In spite of this, there were no associations between NAC and dialysis requirement or mortality in these studies. Conclusion The results of this umbrella review supported that the renal results were enhanced by NAC. The association was supported by moderate-quality evidence.

Peripheral Interventional Strategy Assessment (PISA) for Diabetic Foot Ulcer Revascularization: Preliminary Outcomes of a Multidisciplinary Pilot Study. Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:2879. [PMID: 37761246 PMCID: PMC10528535 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13182879] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2023] [Revised: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 09/07/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) still represents the gold standard for anatomical arterial mapping and revascularization decision-making in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), although DUS (Doppler Ultrasound) remains a primary non-invasive examination tool. The Global Vascular Guidelines established the importance of preoperative arterial mapping to guarantee an adequate in-line flow to the foot. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of DUS in guiding therapeutic vascular treatments on the basis of Global Vascular Guidelines without the need of a second-level examination. METHODS Between January 2022 and June 2022, all consecutive patients with CLTI to be revascularized underwent clinical examination and DUS without further diagnostic examinations. Primary outcomes assessed were technical success, and 30-day mortality. Secondary outcomes were 1-year amputation free survival, and time between evaluation and revascularization. RESULTS Sixty-eight patients with a mean age of 73.6 ± 8.5 years underwent lower limb revascularization. Technical success was 100%, and the 30-day mortality rate was 2.9%. Mean time between evaluation and revascularization was 29 ± 17 days. One-year amputation free survival was 97.1%. CONCLUSIONS DUS without further diagnostic examinations can accurately assess the status of the vascular tree and foot runoff, providing enough information about target vessels to guide revascularization strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Acute kidney injury is a common comorbidity in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. Although there are predictive models to determine risk of AKI in patients in critical care or post-surgical scenarios or in general medical floors, there are no models that specifically determine the risk of AKI in patients with ICH. METHODS Clinical features and laboratory tests were selected by previous studies and LASSO (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator) regression. We used multivariable logistic regression with a bidirectional stepwise method to construct ICH-AKIM (intracerebral hemorrhage-associated acute kidney injury model). The accuracy of ICH-AKIM was measured by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. The outcome was AKI development during hospitalization, defined as KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) Guidelines. RESULTS From four independent medical centers, a total of 9649 patients with ICH were available. Overall, five clinical features (sex, systolic blood pressure, diabetes, Glasgow coma scale, mannitol infusion) and four laboratory tests at admission (serum creatinine, albumin, uric acid, neutrophils-to-lymphocyte ratio) were predictive factors and were included in the ICH-AKIM construction. The AUC of ICH-AKIM in the derivation, internal validation, and three external validation cohorts were 0.815, 0.816, 0.776, 0.780, and 0.821, respectively. Compared to the univariate forecast and pre-existing AKI models, ICH-AKIM led to significant improvements in discrimination and reclassification for predicting the incidence of AKI in all cohorts. An online interface of ICH-AKIM is freely available for use. CONCLUSION ICH-AKIM exhibited good discriminative capabilities for the prediction of AKI after ICH and outperforms existing predictive models.

Abstract
PURPOSE The value of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance during peripheral vascular revascularization procedures is incompletely understood. Moreover, data on long-term clinical outcomes and costs are limited. The objective of this study was to compare outcomes and costs between IVUS and contrast angiography alone in patients undergoing peripheral revascularization procedures in Japan. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective comparative analysis was performed using the Japanese Medical Data Vision insurance claims database. All patients undergoing revascularization for peripheral artery disease (PAD) between April 2009 and July 2019 were included. Patients were followed until July 2020, death, or a subsequent revascularization procedure for PAD. Two patient groups were compared: one undergoing IVUS imaging or the other contrast angiography alone. The primary end point was major adverse cardiac and limb events, including all-cause-mortality, endovascular thrombolysis, subsequent revascularization procedures for PAD, stroke, acute myocardial infarction, and major amputations. Total health care costs were documented over the follow-up and compared between groups, using a bootstrap method. RESULTS The study included 3956 patients in the IVUS group and 5889 in the angiography alone group. Intravascular ultrasound was significantly associated with reduced risk of a subsequent revascularization procedure (adjusted hazard ratio: 0.25 [0.22-0.28]) and major adverse cardiac and limb events (0.69 [0.65-0.73]). The total costs were significantly lower in the IVUS group, with a mean cost saving over follow-up of $18 173 [$7 695-$28 595] per patient. CONCLUSION The use of IVUS during peripheral revascularization provides superior long-term clinical outcomes at lower costs compared with contrast angiography alone, warranting wider adoption and fewer barriers to IVUS reimbursement for patients with PAD undergoing routine revascularization. CLINICAL IMPACT Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance during peripheral vascular revascularization has been introduced to improve the precision of the procedure. However, questions over the benefit of IVUS in terms of long-term clinical outcome and over cost have limited its use in everyday clinical practice. This study, performed in a Japanese health insurance claims database, demonstrates that use of IVUS provides a superior clinical outcome over the long term at a lower cost compared to angiography alone. These findings should encourage clinicians to use IVUS in routine peripheral vascular revascularization procedures and encourage providers to reduce barriers to use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hydration is currently the main measure to prevent contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). We aimed to compare the preventive effect of preprocedure and postprocedure hydration on CIN in patients with coronary heart disease undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS A retrospective study included 198 cases of postprocedure hydration and 396 cases of preprocedure hydration using propensity score matching. The incidence of CIN 48 h after PCI and adverse events within 30 days after contrast media exposure were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyse the risk factors for CIN. RESULTS The incidence of CIN in the postprocedure hydration group was 3.54%, while that in the preprocedure hydration group was 4.8%. There was no significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.478). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes mellitus, baseline BNP and cystatin C levels, and contrast agent dosage were independent risk factors for CIN. There was no significant difference in the incidence of major adverse events between the two groups (3.03% vs. 2.02%, p = 0.830). CONCLUSIONS Postprocedure hydration is equally effective compared to preoperative hydration in the prevention of CIN in patients with coronary heart disease undergoing elective PCI.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common postoperative outcome in urology patients undergoing surgery for nephrolithiasis. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of postoperative AKI and its degrees of severity, identify risk factors, and understand the resultant outcomes of AKI in patients with nephrolithiasis undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). A cohort of patients admitted between 2012 and 2019 to a single tertiary-care institution who had undergone PCNL was retrospectively analyzed. Among 417 (n = 326 patients) encounters, 24.9% (n = 104) had AKI. Approximately one-quarter of AKI patients (n = 18) progressed to Stage 2 or higher AKI. Hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and chronic anemia were significant risk factors of post-PCNL AKI. Corticosteroids and antifungals were associated with increased odds of AKI. Cardiovascular, neurologic complications, sepsis, and prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stay percentages were higher in AKI patients. Hospital and ICU length of stay was greater in the AKI group. Provided the limited literature regarding postoperative AKI following PCNL, and the detriment that AKI can have on clinical outcomes, it is important to continue studying this topic to better understand how to optimize patient care to address patient- and procedure-specific risk factors.

Abstract
Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) can lead to the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and impaired in-hospital and long-term outcomes among cardiac patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of repeated contrast media (CM) administration during a single hospitalization on the rate of CI-AKI. The study group (n = 138) comprised patients with different diagnoses who received CM more than once during hospitalization, while the control group (n = 153) involved CAD patients subject to a single CM dose. Following propensity score matching (PSM), both groups of n = 84 were evenly matched in terms of major baseline variables. CI-AKI was defined by an absolute increase in SCr ≥ 0.3 mg/dL or >50% relative to the baseline value within 48–72 h from the last CM dose. Patients in the study group were older, had a higher prevalence of diabetes and CKD, received a higher total volume of CM, had a lower left ventricular ejection fraction, lower prevalence of multivessel coronary artery disease (MV-CAD), and a trend towards a lower prevalence of arterial hypertension and smoking. SCr did not differ between the study and control groups at 72 h after the CM use. CI-AKI occurred in 18 patients in the study (13.0%) and in 18 patients (11.8%) in the control group (p = 0.741). The rate of CI-AKI was also comparable following the PSM (13.1% vs. 13.1%, p = 1.0). Logistic regression analysis revealed that CKD, diabetes mellitus, MV-CAD, age, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs use, but not repeated CM use, were independent predictors of CI-AKI.

Abstract
Melatonin is a neurohormone that is mainly secreted by the pineal gland. It coordinates the work of the superior biological clock and consequently affects many processes in the human body. Disorders of the waking and sleeping period result in nervous system imbalance and generate metabolic and endocrine derangements. The purpose of this review is to provide information regarding the potential benefits of melatonin use, particularly in kidney diseases. The impact on the cardiovascular system, diabetes, and homeostasis causes melatonin to be indirectly connected to kidney function and quality of life in people with chronic kidney disease. Moreover, there are numerous reports showing that melatonin plays a role as an antioxidant, free radical scavenger, and cytoprotective agent. This means that the supplementation of melatonin can be helpful in almost every type of kidney injury because inflammation, apoptosis, and oxidative stress occur, regardless of the mechanism. The administration of melatonin has a renoprotective effect and inhibits the progression of complications connected to renal failure. It is very important that exogenous melatonin supplementation is well tolerated and that the number of side effects caused by this type of treatment is low.

Abstract
Purpose Development and validation of a nomogram model to predict the risk of Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury (CI-AKI) after emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in elderly patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Patients and Methods Retrospective analysis of 542 elderly (≥65 years) STEMI patients undergoing emergency PCI in our hospital from January 2019 to June 2022, with all patients randomized to the training cohort (70%; n=380) and the validation cohort (30%; n=162). Univariate analysis, LASSO regression, and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to determine independent risk factors for developing CI-AKI in elderly STEMI patients. R software is used to generate a nomogram model. The predictive power of the nomogram model was compared with the Mehran score 2. The area under the ROC curve (AUC), calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to evaluate the prediction model's discrimination, calibration, and clinical validity, respectively. Results The nomogram model consisted of five variables: diabetes mellitus (DM), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), Systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and highly sensitive C-reactive protein(hsCRP). In the training cohort, the AUC is 0.84 (95% CI: 0.790-0.890), and in the validation cohort, it is 0.844 (95% CI: 0.762-0.926). The nomogram model has better predictive ability than Mehran score 2. Based on the calibration curves, the predicted and observed values of the nomogram model were in good agreement between the training and validation cohort. Decision curve analysis (DCA) and clinical impact curve showed that the nomogram prediction model has good clinical utility. Conclusion The established nomogram model can intuitively and specifically screen high-risk groups with a high degree of discrimination and accuracy and has a specific predictive value for CI-AKI occurrence in elderly STEMI patients after PCI.

Impact of atorvastatin reload on the prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy in patients on chronic statin therapy: A prospective randomized trial. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0270000. [PMID: 37155629 PMCID: PMC10166561 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0270000] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2021] [Accepted: 05/31/2022] [Indexed: 05/10/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This trial aimed to assess the efficacy of Atorvastatin reloading on the prevention of Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients pre-treated with this statin and undergoing coronary catheterization. METHODS This was a prospective randomized controlled study including patients on chronic atorvastatin therapy. We randomly assigned the population to the Atorvastatin Reloading group (AR group), by reloading patients with 80 mg of atorvastatin one day before and three days after the coronary procedure, and the Non-Reloading group (NR group), including patients who received their usual dose without a reloading dose. The primary endpoints were the incidence of cystatin (Cys)-based CIN and Creatinine (Scr)-based CIN. The secondary endpoints consisted of the changes in renal biomarkers (Δ biomarkers) defined as the difference between the follow-up level and the baseline level. RESULTS Our population was assigned to the AR group (n = 56 patients) and NR group (n = 54 patients). The baseline characteristics of the 2 groups were similar. Serum creatinine (SCr)-based CIN occurred in 11.1% in the NR group, and in 8.9% in the AR group without any significant difference. Cys-based CIN occurred in 37% in the NR group and 26.8% in the AR group without any significant difference. The subgroup analysis showed that high dose reloading had significantly reduced the CYC-based CIN risk in patients with type 2 diabetes (43.5% vs 18.8%, RR = 0.43. CI 95% [0.18-0.99])). The comparison of "Δ Cystatin" and Δ eGFR between the AR and NR groups didn't show any significant difference. However, cystatin C had significantly increased between baseline and at 24 hours in the NR group (0.96 vs 1.05, p = 0.001), but not in the AR group (0.94 vs 1.03, p = 0.206). CONCLUSIONS Our study did not find a benefit of systematic atorvastatin reloading in patients on chronic atorvastatin therapy in preventing CIN. However, it suggested that this strategy could reduce the risk of CyC-based CIN in diabetic type 2 patients.

Abstract
The contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) has been becoming the third common cause of hospital-acquired acute kidney injury. An ideal animal model is essential for understanding the pathophysiology of CI-AKI. Previous CI-AKI studies were mostly performed on rats with high-osmolar contrast medium (HOCM), which is unsuitable for transgenic researches. This study provides a novel, efficient and reproducible CI-AKI model which was developed in mouse by administrating a low-osmolar contrast medium (LOCM). First of all, we applied the frequently used pretreatments (uninephrectomy and water deprivation), which combined with HOCM on rats could induce CI-AKI, on mice with LOCM. Secondly, we attempted to find a novel pretreatment suitable for mouse and LOCM by combining two classic pretreatments(uninephrectomy, water deprivation and furosemide administration). Finally, we evaluate the kidney damage of the novel model. We found that this mouse model possessed a significant reduction in renal function, severe renal tissue damage, and increased renal tubular cells apoptosis, indicating that LOCM is a feasible inducer for CI-AKI mice model. Taken together, we found that uninephrectomy (UPHT) combined with 24 h water deprivation and furosemide administration 20 min before LOCM (iohexol, 10 ml/kg) application is a feasible pretreatment to establish a novel CI-AKI mouse model.

Contrast volume and in-hospital outcomes of dialysis patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Sci Rep 2022; 12:17718.

Abstract
Toxicity resulting from retained contrast media may cause adverse cardiovascular outcomes (e.g., heart failure and cardiogenic shock) for dialysis patients. However, the association between the administered contrast volume and outcomes of dialysis patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has not been sufficiently investigated. We evaluated 953 consecutive dialysis patients (age, 67.9 ± 9.9 years; 30.1% with acute coronary syndrome) who underwent PCI between September 2008 and March 2019. Patients were divided into two groups: those with a contrast volume ≥ 200 ml and those with a contrast volume < 200 ml. The cutoff was 200 ml because 100 ml increment of contrast volume is known to raise the risk of acute kidney injury, and 200 ml is more than the average volume used at most PCI centers. The primary endpoint was a composite of in-hospital death, post-PCI cardiogenic shock and post-PCI heart failure. A multivariable logistic regression model and smooth spline curve were constructed to assess the association between contrast volume and the primary endpoint. The median contrast volume was 157 ml (interquartile range, 115-210 ml). The overall primary endpoint incidence was 6.8% (N = 65). A contrast volume ≥ 200 ml was associated with a higher risk of the primary endpoint (odds ratio 2.91; 95% confidence interval 1.42-6.05; P = 0.004). The smooth spline curve demonstrated a linear relationship between the contrast volume and primary endpoint. In conclusions, the contrast volume was associated with adverse in-hospital outcomes of dialysis patients undergoing PCI. Attention should be focused on the contrast volume used for dialysis patients undergoing PCI.

Abstract
Background The previously built score models of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) were principally founded on selective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) cases. Our study was to form a risk score model of CI-AKI and make a temporal validation in a population who underwent emergency PCIs. Methods We included patients who underwent emergency PCIs from 2013 to 2018 and divided them into the derivation and validation cohorts. Logistic regression analysis was harnessed to create the risk model. In this research, we defined CI-AKI as an increase in serum creatinine (SCr) ≥0.5 mg/dL (44.2 μmol/L) above baseline within seven days following exposure to contrast medium. Results A total of 3564 patients who underwent emergency PCIs were enrolled and divided into the derivation (2376 cases) and validation cohorts (1188 cases), with CI-AKI incidence of 6.61 and 5.39%, respectively. By logistic analysis, the CI-AKI risk score model was constituted by 8 variables: female (1 point), history of transient ischemic attack (TIA)/stroke (1 point), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) classification (1 point per class), big endothelin-1 (ET-1) classification (1 point per class), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) classification (1 point per class), intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) application (1 point), left anterior descending (LAD) stented (1 point), and administration of diuretic (2 points). The patients could be further divided into three groups: low-risk, moderate-risk, and high-risk groups, in accordance with the risk scores of 3–6, 7–10, and ≥11 points, and to the CI-AKI rates of 1.4, 11.9, and 42.6%. The CI-AKI risk score model performed well in discrimination (C statistic = 0.787, 95% CI: 0.731–0.844) and calibration ability, and showed a superior clinical utility. Conclusion We developed a simple CI-AKI risk score model which performs well as a tool for CI-AKI prediction in patients who underwent emergency PCIs.

Abstract
AIMS Oxidative stress and inflammatory response play a vital role in the pathogenesis of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI). This study investigated the effects of edaravone in rats with CI-AKI. MAIN METHODS Male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned into four groups (n = 11-14/group): control, edaravone (30 mg/kg/day intraperitoneally (IP)), CI-AKI, and edaravone with CI-AKI. The induction of CI-AKI was performed by dehydration and the administration of contrast media (iohexol) and inhibitors of prostaglandin (indomethacin) and nitric oxide synthesis (L-NAME: N-nitro L-arginine methyl ester). Edaravone was administered for two weeks before the induction of CI-AKI. Serum creatinine and urea, renal oxidative stress and inflammatory biomarkers, and histopathological alterations were evaluated after 48 h of contrast exposure. KEY FINDINGS Rats with CI-AKI showed a significant increase in serum creatinine and urea. The levels of antioxidant biomarkers including glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and reduced glutathione were significantly decreased in CI-AKI group versus control. Pre-treatment of rats with edaravone normalized kidney function and protected the kidney from oxidative damage as demonstrated by normalization of previous biomarkers. Furthermore, edaravone partially ameliorated renal histopathological alterations relative to the CI-AKI group, notably in the nephrons. No changes were observed in inflammatory biomarkers including tumour necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-6 among all groups. SIGNIFICANCE The current findings suggest that edaravone could be a potential strategy to ameliorate developing CI-AKI possibly by improving renal antioxidant capacity. Further studies are warranted to expand the current understanding of the use of edaravone in the various models of AKI.

Abstract
Contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) is a fairly frequent complication of cardiovascular angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The risk is significantly higher in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). Prevention is the only option for avoiding the significant morbidity and mortality associated with CA-AKI. This review provides a concise and clinically directed appraisal of the latest pre-procedural and peri-procedural strategies to minimize the risk of CA-AKI in all patients undergoing PCI. By broadly implementing these evidence-based care bundles, we can dramatically improve outcomes in this vulnerable patient population.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the effect of baicalin on the reactive oxygen species (ROS)/ NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3)/Caspase-1/gasdermin-D (GSDMD) inflammasome pathway and its related mechanism in regulating pyroptosis of human renal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2) induced by contrast media. Methods Iohexol was used to act on HK-2 cells to establish a renal tubular cell pyroptosis model; and the signal pathway genes were silenced, cytokines were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and cell viability, gene expression, and protein expression were evaluated by double fluorescence staining and flow cytometry. To assess the cytotoxicity caused by the contrast agent; cells were pretreated with different concentrations of baicalin; and then the cells were exposed to iohexol again, and the relevant indicators were tested again. Results After HK-2 cells were exposed to iohexol, the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway markers NLRP3, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-18 mRNA levels as well as the protein expression levels of NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1, and GSDMD were up-regulated. In addition, the effect also significantly increased the IL-18, IL-1β, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) release, and cellular ROS levels. The results of Annexin V-FITC/PI flow cytometry showed that the level of apoptosis was increased. However, after the intervention of baicalin, the changes in the above indexes caused by iohexol stimulation of HK-2 cells were inhibited. Conclusion Exposure to iohexol can induce pyroptosis of HK-2 cells through the ROS/NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD signaling pathway. Baicalin ameliorated iohexol-induced pyroptosis in HK-2 cells by regulating the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway.

Abstract
Drugs constitute one of the leading causes of acute kidney injuries (AKIs) and can appear in community (CA‐AKI) or hospital (HA‐AKI) population. The objectives of the present study of a cohort of hospitalized patients with AKI were to describe the characteristics of drug‐induced AKIs and the patients' short‐term outcomes and assess risk factors for drug‐induced AKIs overall, CA‐AKIs, and HA‐AKIs. Based on a cohort of 1557 hospitalized patients suffering from AKIs based on PMSI extraction and chart review (IRA‐PMSI), drug‐induced AKIs were identified by applying the Naranjo adverse drug reaction (ADR) probability scale. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with CA‐AKIs and/or HA‐AKIs. When considering the 1557 patients who experienced an AKI, 445 (28.6%) of the injuries were drug‐induced (180 CA‐AKIs (40.4%) and 265 HA‐AKIs (59.6%)). Antibiotics, diuretics, and contrast agents were significantly more likely to be involved in HA‐AKIs, whereas antineoplastic, lipid‐lowering drugs, antidiabetics, and immunosuppressive were significantly more likely to be involved in CA‐AKIs. Female sex (odds ratio [OR] [95%CI] = 1.3 [1.04–1.67]), chronic kidney disease (CKD) (OR = 1.8 [1.40–2.67]), and a history of ADRs of any type (OR = 1.3 [1.05–1.73]) were significant risk factors for drug‐induced AKIs. CKD was a risk factor for both CA‐AKI and HA‐AKI. In view of the long‐term impact of AKI on the kidneys and the differences between our CA‐AKI and HA‐AKI subgroups, our present results are interesting for optimizing treatments, limiting the occurrence of CA‐ and HA‐AKIs and (ultimately) reducing healthcare costs.

Abstract
PURPOSE Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) remains a dreaded complication in the cardiac diagnostic and interventional area. We investigated the relationship between red blood cell distribution width-to-albumin ratio (RAR) and CIN in elderly patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS A total of 1532 elderly patients were enrolled and divided into the CIN group and the non-CIN group. The risk factors of CIN were evaluated by univariate and multivariate regression analysis. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to identify the best predictive value. RESULTS CIN occurred in 129 (8.42%) patients. Patients in the CIN group had significantly higher RAR than those in the non-CIN group (4.69 ± 0.73 vs. 3.18 ± 0.64, P < 0.001). In multivariate regression analysis, RAR was an independent risk factor for the development of CIN (OR: 1.506, 95% CI: 1.227-2.083, P = 0.025), along with age, creatinine, eGFR, hs-CRP and contrast agent dose. The AUC of RAR was 0.755 (95% CI 0.703-0.807), and an optimal cutoff value of 3.64 or higher predicted CIN with a sensitivity of 76.2% and specificity of 65.7%. CONCLUSION As a combined inflammatory-related index, RAR was an independent risk factor for the development of CIN in elderly patients with STEMI undergoing emergency PCI. The RAR could be a simple but relatively reliable parameter for identifying high-risk patients.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) causes clinically acquired nephropathy in patients who undergo coronary interventions. Hypoxic injury to proximal tubular epithelial cells is a pathological mechanism of CI-AKI. Previous studies have shown that hypoxia activates HIF-1α/HE4/NF-κB to enhance renal fibrosis, and the SGLT-2 inhibitor luseogliflozin inhibits hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α expression to reduce the progression of diabetic nephropathy. However, the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of SGLT-2 inhibitors on CI-AKI are unclear. We explored the role of the HIF-1α/HE4/NF-κB pathway in CI-AKI and how dapagliflozin effectively treats CI-AKI by inhibiting this pathway. In vitro, cells were divided into the control, hypoxia, hypoxia + dapagliflozin, and hypoxia + pSilencer-HIF-1α groups. Cellular hypoxia, apoptosis, and related protein expression were evaluated by immunofluorescence, western blotting, and flow cytometry, respectively. Dapagliflozin significantly decreased oxygen consumption, HIF-1α, human epididymis protein 4 (HE4), NF-κB expression, and apoptotic cells compared with the control (P < 0.01). In vivo, rats were divided into the control (C), diabetes (D), diabetes + contrast media, and diabetes + contrast media + dapagliflozin groups. Rats in the latter 2 groups were treated with dapagliflozin for 2 days. CI-AKI was induced by intravenously injecting indomethacin, N-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester, and iohexol. The effects of dapagliflozin on CI-AKI rats were elucidated by assessing renal function, H&E staining, and immunohistochemistry. Serum creatinine, urea nitrogen, TUNEL-positive tubular cells, HIF-1α, HE4, NF-κB expression, and histopathological scores were increased in diabetes + contrast media rats compared with C, D, and diabetes + dapagliflozin + contrast media rats (P < 0.01). Thus, dapagliflozin may ameliorate CI-AKI through suppression of HIF-1α/HE4/NF-κB signaling in vitro and in vivo.

Heart Vessels 2022; 37:1971-1976. [PMID: 35635569 DOI: 10.1007/s00380-022-02105-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2022] [Accepted: 05/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/04/2022]
Abstract
Late rather than acute kidney injury after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been recently recognized as a predictor of future adverse events in patient with coronary artery disease. The risk-predicting models for acute kidney injury reported by Mehran et al., Bartholomew et al., and Tsai et al. were derived from a large cohort and externally validated, although the applicability of these models for predicting late kidney injury is unknown. A total of 327 patients undergoing elective PCI procedures were included. We calculated the three scores and tested their diagnostic ability for predicting late kidney injury (> 6 months after PCI), defined as an increase in creatinine levels ≥ 0.3 mg/dl or ≥ 50% from baseline. During the median follow-up period of 28 months, 27 (8.3%) patients had late kidney injury. All three scores significantly predicted late kidney injury, among which the score by Tsai et al. had a better diagnostic ability (area under the curve 0.83, best cut-off value 14, p < 0.001). With the best cut-off value, patients with Tsai score ≥ 14 had a significantly higher rate of late kidney injury than their counterpart (27.4% vs. 2.8%, p < 0.001). In conclusion, established risk scores for acute kidney injury may be useful for predicting late kidney injury after PCI in patients with chronic coronary syndrome.

Abstract
Background Contrast‐induced acute kidney injury (CI‐AKI) is a severe complication among patients receiving intravascular contrast media. The purpose of this study was to investigate the preventive effects of pretreatment of atorvastatin at intensive doses on CI‐AKI after computed tomography (CT) perfusion. Methods The levels of serum creatinine (SCR), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), Cystatin C (CysC), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein (hs‐CRP), and interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) in patients were compared between the observation group receiving 40 mg/kg atorvastatin and the control group receiving 20 mg/kg atorvastatin before and 72 h after CT examination. In addition, the incidence of CI‐AKI was recorded. Results Compared with the control group, the incidence of renal injury in the observation group was significantly reduced, from 8% to 2% (χ2 = 6.62, p = 0.010). In addition, there was no notable difference in the levels of Scr, BUN, CysC, hs‐CRP, and IL‐6 before CT examination between two groups (p > 0.05). The levels of SCR, BUN, CysC, hs‐CRP, and IL‐6 were increased, while the levels of eGFR were decreased in the control group at 72 h after CT examination (p < 0.05). At 72 h after CT enhancement, the levels of BUN, CysC, and hs‐CRP were prominently increased in the observation group (p < 0.05), while SCR, eGFR, and IL‐6 did not change (p > 0.05). Compared with the control group, the levels of SCR, BUN, CysC, eGFR, hs‐CRP, and IL‐6 in the observation group were significantly decreased at 72 h after CT examination (p < 0.05). Conclusion Intensive dose of atorvastatin pretreatment can prevent CI‐AKI undergoing CT perfusion through lowering inflammation as well as renal function indexes SCR, CysC, BUN, and eGFR.

Abstract
This study was performed to provide a description of the normal anatomy of the canine hindlimb veins using helical CT images. The studies of 30 dogs that underwent CT venography with a 64-slice helical CT scanner were retrospectively reviewed. The dogs were positioned in a head-first prone or head-first supine body position. A topogram CT scan was performed from the pelvic limbs cranial to the iliac wings to the tips of the paws. Bolus-tracking software was used for the dual-phase angiogram, and contrast medium was administered in a cephalic vein. The venous phase was scanned after a delay time of a few seconds after the arterial phase in a caudocranial direction. Three-dimensional images were generated using maximum intensity projections and volume rendering technique. Representative images of three of the 30 dogs were selected and anatomic structures labelled.

[PMID: 35572997 PMCID: PMC9099141 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2022.862023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2022] [Accepted: 03/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective:Among the various risk factors associated with contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI), the importance of osmolality and viscosity is emerging among the characteristics of contrast media (CM) itself. High osmolality CM (HOCM) is deprecated and low osmotic pressure (LOCM) and iso-osmotic pressure (IOCM) are mainly used in clinical situations where the results of studies on their effect on the development of CI-AKI are contradictory. We evaluated the association between the type of CM and the risk of CI-AKI.Materials and MethodsA retrospective observational cohort study to analyze the effect of the type of CM on the development of CI-AKI. Using propensity score (PS) matching, 2,263 LOCM and IOCM groups were paired for analysis from 5,267 patients and fulfilled the inclusion criteria among 12,742 patients who underwent CAG between 1 January 2007, and 31 December 2016. LOCM included iopromide and iopamidol, IOCM was iodixanol. CI-AKI, which was the primary endpoint, was defined based on the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes criteria within 48 h after exposure to the CM. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was used in the unmatched and matched cohorts, respectively. In addition, a stratified model on clinically important variables, including a high Mehran score (≥ 6), was also used in the matched cohort.ResultsLOCM users showed an increased incidence of CI-AKI (11.7% vs. 9.3%; p = 0.006), but it lost statistical significance after PS matching (9.9% vs. 9.5%, p = 0.725). In multivariable analyses, the adjusted odds ratio for CI-AKI in the LOCM group were 1.059 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.875–1.282; p = 0.555] in unmatched cohort and 0.987 (95% CI = 0.803–1.214; p = 0.901) in matched cohort. These results were also consistent with the high-risk (high Mehran score) group.ConclusionsAlthough the role of CM types in the development of CI-AKI has been debated, our observation shows that the selection between LOCM and IOCM during CAG has no influence on the incidence of CI-AKI.

Tolvaptan Improves Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury. J Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone Syst 2022; 2022:7435292. [PMID: 35173798 PMCID: PMC8818441 DOI: 10.1155/2022/7435292] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2021] [Revised: 01/11/2022] [Accepted: 01/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective. Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a serious side effect of contrast media use. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role and mechanism of tolvaptan (TOL) in CI-AKI. Methods. 24 Wistar male rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (
). And a rat model of CI-AKI was established. Then, the blood and urine of rats in each group were collected to detect relevant parameters. HE staining was utilized for the observation of the pathological changes of rat kidney tissues, TUNEL assay for the detection of tubular cell apoptosis, biochemical detection for the confirmation of oxidative stress level in kidney tissues, and western blot for the test of the expression of apoptotic proteins and the Nrf2 signaling pathway-related proteins in kidney tissues. Results. TOL could significantly reduce the serum level of urea nitrogen, creatinine, and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and decrease serum Cys-C and urine KIM-1 in CI-AKI rats. The result above meant that TOL could improve kidney injury and reduce tubular cell apoptosis in CI-AKI rats. In addition, TOL contributed to a reduction of oxidative stress level by downregulating myeloperoxidase level and increasing the activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase in the kidney tissue of CI-AKI rats. After the pretreatment of TOL, the expression of proapoptotic proteins cleaved-caspase 3 and BAX, as well as mitochondrial fusion proteins DRP1 and MFN2 was downregulated, while the expression of Bcl-2 and PINK1 was upregulated in the kidney tissue of CI-AKI rats. Further, TOL could activate the Nrf2 signaling pathway, and the Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 reversed the effect of TOL on CI-AKI. Conclusion. TOL can improve CI-AKI by activating the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway, inhibiting oxidative stress response, and reducing tubular cell apoptosis.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with a significant risk of morbidity and mortality. The traditional risk model provided by the National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) is useful for predicting the preprocedural risk of AKI, although the scoring system requires a number of clinical contents. We sought to examine whether machine learning (ML) techniques could predict AKI with fewer NCDR-AKI risk model variables within a comparable PCI database in Japan. We evaluated 19,222 consecutive patients undergoing PCI between 2008 and 2019 in a Japanese multicenter registry. AKI was defined as an absolute or a relative increase in serum creatinine of 0.3 mg/dL or 50%. The data were split into training (N = 16,644; 2008-2017) and testing datasets (N = 2578; 2017-2019). The area under the curve (AUC) was calculated using the light gradient boosting model (GBM) with selected variables by Lasso and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) methods among 12 traditional variables, excluding the use of an intra-aortic balloon pump, since its use was considered operator-dependent. The incidence of AKI was 9.4% in the cohort. Lasso and SHAP methods demonstrated that seven variables (age, eGFR, preprocedural hemoglobin, ST-elevation myocardial infarction, non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction/unstable angina, heart failure symptoms, and cardiogenic shock) were pertinent. AUC calculated by the light GBM with seven variables had a performance similar to that of the conventional logistic regression prediction model that included 12 variables (light GBM, AUC [training/testing datasets]: 0.779/0.772; logistic regression, AUC [training/testing datasets]: 0.797/0.755). The AKI risk model after PCI using ML enabled adequate risk quantification with fewer variables. ML techniques may aid in enhancing the international use of validated risk models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bleeding events can be critical in hospitalized patients with COVID-19, especially those with aggressive anticoagulation therapy. AIM We aimed to investigate whether hemoglobin drop was associated with increased risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) and in-hospital mortality among patients with COVID-19. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. METHODS This retrospective study was conducted by review of the medical records of 6683 patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 hospitalized in the Mount Sinai Health system between 1st March 2020 and 30th March 2021. We compared patients with and without hemoglobin drop >3 g/dl during hospitalization within a week after admissions, using inverse probability treatment weighted analysis (IPTW). Outcomes of interest were in-hospital mortality and AKI which was defined as serum creatine change of 0.3 mg/dl increase or 1.5 times baseline. RESULTS Of the 6683 patients admitted due to COVID-19, 750 (11.2%) patients presented with a marked hemoglobin drop. Patients with hemoglobin drop were more likely to receive therapeutic anticoagulation within 2 days after admissions. Patients with hemoglobin drop had higher crude in-hospital mortality (40.8% vs. 20.0%, P < 0.001) as well as AKI (51.4% vs. 23.9%, P < 0.001) compared to those without. IPTW analysis showed that hemoglobin drop was associated with higher in-hospital mortality compared to those without (odds ratio (OR) [95% confidential interval (CI)]: 2.21 [1.54-2.88], P < 0.001) as well as AKI (OR [95% CI]: 2.79 [2.08-3.73], P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Hemoglobin drop during COVID-19 related hospitalizations was associated with a higher risk of AKI and in-hospital mortality.

Abstract
Background Statins are frequently prescribed for patients with dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus. These comorbidities are highly prevalent in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. Statin's beneficial effect on mortality in COVID-19 infection has been reported in several studies. However, these findings are still inconclusive. Methods We conducted a retrospective observational study among 6,095 patients with laboratory confirmed COVID-19 hospitalized in Mount Sinai Health System between March 1st 2020 and May 7th 2020. Patients were stratified into two groups: statin use prior to or during hospitalization (N = 2,423) versus no statins (N = 3,672). We evaluated in-hospital mortality as a primary outcome using propensity score matching and inverse probability treatment weighted (IPTW) analysis. In additional analysis, we compared continuous use of statins (N = 1,108) with no statins, continuous use of statins with discontinuation of statins (N = 644), and discontinuation of statins with no statins. Results Among 6,095 COVID-19 patients, statin use prior to or during hospitalization group were older (70.8 ± 12.7 years versus 59.2 ± 18.2 years, p<0.001) and had more comorbidities compared to no statins group. After matching by propensity score (1,790 pairs), there were no significant differences in-hospital mortality between patients with statins and those without [28.9% versus 31.0%, p = 0.19, odds ratio (OR) 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.91 (0.79–1.05)]. This result was confirmed by IPTW analysis [OR (95% CI): 0.96 (0.81–1.12), p = 0.53]. In the additional analysis comparing continuous use of statins with no statins group, in-hospital mortality was significantly lower in continuous use of statins compared to no statins group [26.3% versus 34.5%, p<0.001, OR (95% CI): 0.68 (0.55–0.82)] after matching by propensity score (944 pairs), as well as IPTW analysis [OR (95% CI): 0.77 (0.64–0.94), p = 0.009]. Finally, comparison of continuous use of statins with discontinuation of statins showed lower in-hospital mortality in continuous use of statins group [27.9% versus 42.1%, p<0.001, OR (95% CI): 0.53 (0.41–0.68)]. Conclusions Use of statins prior to or during hospitalization was not associated with a decreased risk of in-hospital mortality, however, continuous use of statins was associated with lower in-hospital mortality compared to no statin use and discontinuation of statins.

Abstract
Background Risk stratification has been one of the main steps in preventing contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), which is a common complication after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Elevated arterial lactate is a biomarker indicating severe disease condition and post-intervention complications. The relationship between lactate and CIN has not been established. This study is performed to investigate the relationship between elevated arterial lactate level and contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). Methods Patients diagnosed with ST-segment elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) were prospectively enrolled, with lactate measured within 0.5–1 hours before primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Patients with cardiopulmonary resuscitation, any forms of severe anaerobic condition, or end-stage renal disease undergoing dialysis were excluded. CIN was defined as an increase in serum creatinine ≥0.5 mg/dL or 25% within 72 hours after PCI. The Mehran Risk Score (MRS) is widely regarded as a classic risk model for CIN and the risk factors of MRS were applied in our multivariate regression analysis. Results Of the 227 enrolled patients, 47 (20.7%) developed CIN according to the definition. The mean lactate level was higher in the CIN group than in the non-CIN group (2.68±2.27 vs. 1.74±1.94, P<0.001). The arterial lactate level ≥2.0 mmol/L had 57.5% sensitivity and 75.6% specificity in predicting CIN. The performance of the lactate level in discriminating CIN was similar to that of the MRS (AUClac =0.707 vs. AUCMRS =0.697, P=0.86). After adjusting for other risk factors, lactate ≥2.0 mmol/L still significantly predicted CIN (odds ratio =3.77, 95% CI, 1.77–7.99, P=0.001). Conclusions An arterial lactate level of ≥2.0 mmol/L is associated with CIN in STEMI patients after primary PCI.

J Med Virol 2021; 94:958-964. [PMID: 34647622 PMCID: PMC8662043 DOI: 10.1002/jmv.27393] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2021] [Revised: 09/20/2021] [Accepted: 10/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
We aimed to create the prediction model of in-hospital mortality using machine learning methods for patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) treated with steroid and remdesivir. We reviewed 1571 hospitalized patients with laboratory confirmed COVID-19 from the Mount Sinai Health System treated with both steroids and remdesivir. The important variables associated with in-hospital mortality were identified using LASSO (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator) and SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) through the light gradient boosting model (GBM). The data before February 17th, 2021 (N = 769) was randomly split into training and testing datasets; 80% versus 20%, respectively. Light GBM models were created with train data and area under the curves (AUCs) were calculated. Additionally, we calculated AUC with the data between February 17th, 2021 and March 30th, 2021 (N = 802). Of the 1571 patients admitted due to COVID-19, 331 (21.1%) died during hospitalization. Through LASSO and SHAP, we selected six important variables; age, hypertension, oxygen saturation, blood urea nitrogen, intensive care unit admission, and endotracheal intubation. AUCs using training and testing datasets derived from the data before February 17th, 2021 were 0.871/0.911. Additionally, the light GBM model has high predictability for the latest data (AUC: 0.881) (https://risk-model.herokuapp.com/covid). A high-value prediction model was created to estimate in-hospital mortality for COVID-19 patients treated with steroid and remdesivir.

Abstract
Previous observational and randomized studies suggested potential benefit of therapeutic anticoagulation during hospitalization, but this treatment remains controversial. As of June 30th 2021, steroids is the standard treatment of COVID patients. We aimed to investigate the association of prophylactic and therapeutic anticoagulation with mortality for patients with COVID-19 who were treated with steroids. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 2533 patients discharged between March 1st, 2020 and March 30th, 2021, with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 in the Mount Sinai Health System and treated with steroids. We evaluated the effect of therapeutic versus prophylactic anticoagulation on the outcomes using propensity score analyses. Subgroup analyses were conducted by stratification of patients by endotracheal intubation. Among the 2533 eligible patients, 465 (18.4%) received therapeutic anticoagulation. After 1:1 propensity score matching (N = 383 pairs), in-hospital mortality was similar between those with therapeutic versus prophylactic anticoagulation (36.0% versus 30.0%, P = 0.091). In-hospital mortality regardless of endotracheal intubation were not significantly different between the two groups. Therapeutic anticoagulation was not associated with reduced or increased risk of in-hospital mortality in patients with COVID-19 treated with steroids.

Abstract
We aimed to investigate whether hospitalizations of patients who tested positive for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) antibodies are associated with reduced in‐hospital mortality. Of the 2459 patients admitted due to COVID‐19 and tested for antibodies, 937 (38.1%) had positive tests. After adjustment for patient characteristics and treatments, patients with positive COVID‐19 antibody test had lower in‐hospital mortality compared with those with negative test results (odds ratio [OR]: 0.62; 95% confidential interval [95% CI] 0.46–0.83, p = 0.001). In conclusion, positive COVID‐19 antibody test results were associated with the reduced risk of in‐hospital mortality for COVID‐19 patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Remdesivir has been shown to decrease SARS-CoV-2 viral loads and the duration of COVID-19 symptoms. However, current evidence regarding the association between remdesivir and in-hospital mortality for patients with COVID-19 steroid treatments is limited. We aimed to investigate whether remdesivir reduces in-hospital mortality among patients with COVID-19 treated with steroids. METHODS In this retrospective multicentre study, we reviewed the medical records of 3372 patients discharged between 1 March 2020 and 30 March 2021, with laboratory confirmed COVID-19 in the Mount Sinai Health System and treated with steroids. We evaluated the effect of remdesivir on the outcomes using propensity score analyses. Subgroup analyses were conducted by stratification of patients by endotracheal intubation and COVID-19 antibody status. Acute kidney injury (AKI) was defined as an absolute serum creatinine increase of 0.3 mg/dL or a relative increase of 50%. RESULTS Of the 3372 eligible patients, 1336 (39.6%) received remdesivir. After 1:1 propensity score matching (N = 999 pairs), in-hospital mortality was similar between those with and without remdesivir (21.4% versus 21.6%, respectively, P = 0.96). Remdesivir was not significantly associated with in-hospital mortality regardless of endotracheal intubation or COVID-19 antibody status. However, there was a signal that remdesivir was associated with a reduced risk of AKI in the propensity matched analysis (17.5% versus 23.4%, respectively, P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Remdesivir was not associated with reduced risk of in-hospital mortality in patients with COVID-19 treated with steroids but potentially associated with decreased risk of AKI. These findings should be confirmed in prospective studies focusing on COVID-19 patients treated with steroids.

Abstract
Intravenous iodinated contrast (IVIC) medium is routinely administered to dogs. Scattered information exists regarding the serum biochemical or urinary profiles associated with the administration of IVIC in dogs. The aim of the study was to describe, compare, and discuss from the perspective of previous studies the alterations in serum biochemical and urinary parameters before (T0) and within one week (T1) of the IVIC administration during routine computed tomography (CT) scan evaluation of 22 dogs. Mature dogs presenting for CT scan evaluation for preoperative oncology staging/surgical planning were included. T1 evaluation was performed within one week of IVIC administration. Statistically significant differences in serum total protein, albumin, chloride, calcium, and phosphorus concentrations, urine protein to creatinine ratio, and urine specific gravity were found between T1 and T0. At T1, the serum creatinine concentration was within reference ranges in all dogs but one. An increase in the urine protein to creatinine ratio was observed in four samples, one of which was non-proteinuric at T0. Changes in biochemistry and urine parameters between T0 and T1 were not considered clinically significant.

Abstract
Our hypothesis was that high hemoglobin (Hb) level might be associated with hypercoagulable state and death due to COVID-19. Of the 9467 hospitalized COVID-19 patients, patients were subdivided into 5 groups based on the level of Hb; Hb < 10 g/dL, 10 g/dL ≤ Hb < 12 g/dL, 12 g/dL ≤ Hb < 14 g/dL, 14 g/dL ≤ Hb < 16 g/dL, and Hb ≥ 16 g/dL. Compared to patients with 12 g/dL ≤ Hb < 14 g/dL, patients with Hb ≥ 16 g/dL had significantly higher adjusted in-hospital mortality (OR [95% CI] 1.62 [1.15–2.27], P = 0.005).

Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated the impact of radial access on contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in patients with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) undergoing cardiac catheterization. METHODS This retrospective monocenter study included 527 CABG patients undergoing cardiac catheterization via radial (58.1%, N = 306) or femoral access (41.9%, N = 221). Primary outcome measure was CI-AKI defined in accordance with the KDIGO criteria. Independent predictors for CI-AKI were assessed. 1-year mortality was assessed depending on the occurrence of CI-AKI. RESULTS In total, 99 CABG patients (18.8%) developed CI-AKI within 48 h after cardiac catheterization. Compared to patients without CI-AKI, amount of contrast media used (203.1 ± 102.6 ml vs. 204.2 ± 98.2 ml; P = 0.892) as well as procedural times (87.9 ± 44.8 vs. 79.8 ± 37.0; P = 0.190) were similarly. Regarding vascular access, there was no significant difference in the incidence of CI-AKI between radial and femoral approach (19.0% vs. 18.6%; p = 0.907). However, poor left ventricular ejection fraction (odds ratio [OR] = 1.72, P = 0.026), chronic kidney disease (OR = 2.30, P = 0.001) and acute coronary syndrome (OR = 1.64, P = 0.043) were independent predictors for CI-AKI. The occurrence of CI-AKI was significantly associated with an increased 1-year mortality (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.52, P = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS With 18.8%, CI-AKI is a frequent complication in CABG patients undergoing cardiac catheterization. Radial access did not decrease the risk when compared to the femoral approach.

Abstract
Contrast Induced Nephropathy is the most severe side-effect arising after non-ionic iodinated contrast agents (CAs) intravenous administration. The use of antioxidants (i.e., N-Acetylcysteine; NAC) is one of the attempted prevention approaches. Herein, we describe the microfluidic-assisted synthesis of iodinated polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) as new multifunctional blood pool CA. The aim of this research is to co-encapsulate Iohexol (IOX; iodinated CA) and NAC (preventive agent) into poly-D,L-lactide-co-glycolide (PLGA) and PEGylated-PLGA (PLGA-PEG) NPs to exploit CA diagnostic proprieties and NAC preventing antioxidant activity. A microfluidic-assisted nanoprecipitation protocol has been set-up for PLGA and PLGA-PEG NPs, evaluating the effect of formulation and microfluidic parameters by analysing the size, PDI and IOX and NAC encapsulation efficiency. The optimized NPs (PLGA-PEG, L:G 50:50, 5% PEG, Mw 90 kDa) formulated with a size of 67 ± 2.8 nm with PDI < 0.2, spherical shape, and an IOX and NAC encapsulation efficiency of 38% and 20%, respectively. The IOX and NAC encapsulation was confirmed by FTIR and DSC. In vitro release study showed an IOX retention into the polymeric matrix and NAC sustained release up to 24-48 h stating microfluidics as powerful tool for the formulation of multifunctional nanoplatforms. Finally, the protective effect of NPs and NAC were preliminary assessed on human kidney cells.

Abstract
As lifespans lengthen, age-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes are becoming more prevalent. Correspondingly, the use of contrast agents for medical imaging is also becoming more common, and there is increasing awareness of contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI). There is no specific treatment for CA-AKI, and clinicians currently focus on prevention, interventions that alter its pathogenesis, and identification of risk factors. Although the incidence of CA-AKI is low in the general population, the risk of CA-AKI can reach 20% to 30% in patients with multiple risk factors. Many models have been applied in the clinic to assess the risk factors for CA-AKI, enable identification of high-risk groups, and improve clinical management. Hypotonic or isotonic contrast media are recommended to prevent CA-AKI in high-risk patients. Patients with risk factors should avoid using contrast media multiple times within a short period of time. All nephrotoxic drugs should be stopped at least 24 h before the administration of contrast media in high-risk populations, and adequate hydration is recommended for all patients. This review summarizes the pathophysiology of CA-AKI and the progress in diagnosis and differential diagnosis; updates the risk factors and risk factor scoring systems; reviews the latest advances related to prevention and treatment; discusses current problems in epidemiological studies; and highlights the importance of identifying high-risk subjects to control modifiable risk factors and use of a rating scale to estimate the risk and implement appropriate prevention strategies.
