Utility of urinary liver-type fatty acid-binding protein as a prognostic marker in adult congenital heart patients hospitalized for acute heart failure. Heart Vessels 2023; 38:371-380. [PMID: 36169710 DOI: 10.1007/s00380-022-02174-0] [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: 05/11/2022] [Accepted: 09/14/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Progression to acute kidney injury (AKI) under treatment in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients with heart failure is associated with poor prognosis, early detection and interventions are necessary. We aimed to explore the utility of urinary liver-type fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP) in ACHD patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). We prospectively evaluated hemodynamic, biochemical data, and urinary biomarkers including urinary L-FABP in ACHD patients hospitalized in our institution from June 2019 to March 2022. The primary outcomes were the development of AKI and death. AKI was defined as serum creatinine level increased by 0.3 mg/dl or more within 5 days after hospitalization. A total of 104 ADHF patients aged 31 (36-51) years were enrolled. 26 cases (25% of ADHF patients) developed AKI during hospitalization and 4 died after hospital discharge. Serum creatinine (sCr), serum total bilirubin, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and urinary L-FABP in AKI patients were significantly higher than in non-AKI patients, whereas systemic oxygen saturation of the peripheral artery (SpO2) and estimated glomerular filtration ratio in AKI patients were lower than non-AKI patients. There was no difference in the intravenous diuretic dose on admission and during hospitalization between the two groups. In the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, the maximum area under the curve (AUC) of urinary biomarkers in AKI patients was urinary L-FABP (AUC = 0.769, p < 0.001) with a cutoff value of 4.86 µg/gCr. Urinary L-FABP level on admission was associated with a predictor for AKI development during hospitalization after adjusting for sCr, BNP and SpO2. Urinary L-FABP was a useful predictor for the development of AKI in ACHD patients hospitalized for ADHF. Monitoring of urinary L-FABP allows us to detect a high-risk patient earlier than the conventional biomarkers.

Abstract
Type-1 cardiorenal syndrome refers to acute kidney injury induced by acute worsening cardiac function. Worsening renal function is a strong and independent predictive factor for poor prognosis. Currently, several problems of the type-1 cardiorenal syndrome have not been fully elucidated. The pathogenesis mechanism of renal dysfunction is unclear. Besides, the diagnostic efficiency, sensitivity, and specificity of the existing biomarkers are doubtful. Furthermore, the renal safety of the therapeutic strategies for acute heart failure (AHF) is still ambiguous. Based on these issues, we systematically summarized and depicted the research actualities and predicaments of the pathogenesis, diagnostic markers, and therapeutic strategies of worsening renal function in type-1 cardiorenal syndrome.

Urinary liver-type fatty acid-binding protein as a prognostic marker in patients with acute heart failure. ESC Heart Fail 2021; 9:442-449. [PMID: 34921522 PMCID: PMC8787958 DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.13730] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2021] [Revised: 10/20/2021] [Accepted: 11/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Aims Urinary liver‐type fatty acid‐binding protein (L‐FABP) is expressed in proximal tubular epithelial cells and excreted into the urine during tubular injury. We hypothesized that high urinary L‐FABP is associated with poor prognosis in patients with acute heart failure (AHF). Methods and results We analysed 623 patients (74 ± 13 years old; 60.0% male patients) with AHF. Urinary L‐FABP levels were measured at the time of admission and adjusted for the urinary creatinine concentration. The primary endpoint was all‐cause mortality. The median value and interquartile range of urinary L‐FABP levels were 6.66 and 3.37–21.1 μg/gCr, respectively. Urinary L‐FABP levels were significantly correlated with both beta‐2 microglobulin and cystatin C levels; the correlation with the former was higher than that with the latter. During the follow‐up of 631 (interquartile range: 387–875) days, 142 deaths occurred. A high tertile of urinary L‐FABP level was associated with high mortality; this association was retained after adjusting for other covariates (second tertile hazard ratio 1.40, P = 0.152 vs. first tertile; third tertile hazard ratio 1.94, P = 0.005 vs. first tertile). Conclusions Urinary L‐FABP is more closely associated with tubular dysfunction than with glomerular dysfunction. Tubular dysfunction, which was evaluated based on urinary L‐FABP levels, in patients with AHF is associated with all‐cause mortality and is independent of pre‐existing risk factors. L‐FABP should be considered for use in the prognosis of AHF.

Abstract
Communication between the heart and kidney occurs through various bidirectional pathways. The heart maintains continuous blood flow through the kidney while the kidney regulates blood volume thereby allowing the heart to pump effectively. Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is a pathologic condition in which acute or chronic dysfunction of the heart or kidney induces acute or chronic dysfunction of the other organ. CRS type 3 (CRS-3) is defined as acute kidney injury (AKI)-mediated cardiac dysfunction. AKI is common among critically ill patients and correlates with increased mortality and morbidity. Acute cardiac dysfunction has been observed in over 50% of patients with severe AKI and results in poorer clinical outcomes than heart or renal dysfunction alone. In this review, we describe the pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for AKI-induced cardiac dysfunction. Additionally, we discuss current approaches in the management of patients with CRS-3 and the development of targeted therapeutics. Finally, we summarize current challenges in diagnosing mild cardiac dysfunction following AKI and in understanding CRS-3 etiology.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The term cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) describes the progressive pathology and interactions that develop upon heart and kidney failure. The definition of CRS is not firmly established and has evolved gradually during the last decade. The main clinical challenges associated with CRS are the lack of tools for early disease diagnosis and the inability to predict the development of cardiorenal pathophysiology. Currently several biomarkers have been proposed for improving CRS patient management. However, validation studies are needed to implement these initial findings to the clinical setting. Areas covered: In this review the database PubMed was used for a literature search on the definition and classification of CRS as well as biomarkers for CRS diagnosis and prognosis. Expert opinion: A universally acceptable classification system for CRS is not available. Thus, acquiring mechanistic insights relative to the pathophysiology of the disease is challenging. Reported biomarkers include well-established markers for heart/renal dysfunction and inflammation. Some proteins expressed in both organs have also been associated with CRS, yet their link to disease pathophysiology and organ cross-talk is missing. Establishing the link between deregulated molecular pathways and CRS phenotypes is required to define biological relevance of existing findings and ultimately biology-driven markers and targets.
