Goto H, Kobayashi Y, Sato H, Fukunaga T, Tanoue K, Yamashiro A, Matsubara H, Oshima N. Urinary N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase can predict bleeding after a percutaneous kidney biopsy. BMC Nephrol 2024; 25:234. [PMID: 39039446 PMCID: PMC11265090 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-024-03658-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND A percutaneous kidney biopsy (PKB) allows nephrologists to make informed decisions for treating various kidney diseases; however, the risk of bleeding complications should be considered, given the vascularity of the kidney. Many studies have reported risk factors for bleeding events after a PKB. However, while urinary N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) is a useful biomarker of kidney disease severity, little is known about whether or not urinary NAG is related to the bleeding risk. METHODS Medical records of patients who underwent a PKB at the National Defense Medical College Hospital between October 2018 and October 2023 were retrospectively studied. Hemoglobin (Hb) loss ≥ 1 g/dL was defined as a bleeding event. RESULTS Of the 213 patients, 110 (51.6%) were men, and the median age was 56 years old (interquartile range 40-71). The most frequent diagnosis on a PKB was IgA nephropathy (N = 72; 34.0%). Fifty-four patients (25.3%) experienced Hb loss ≥ 1 g/dL after a PKB, and urinary NAG/Cr levels before the biopsy were able to predict a bleeding event, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.65 (p = 0.005). Using the optimal cutoff value of 35 U/gCr, urinary NAG/Cr was found to be an independent risk factor by multiple logistic regression analysis (odds ratio 3.21, 95% confidence interval 1.42-7.27, p = 0.005). Even after adjusting for previously-reported risk factors, the elevated urinary NAG/Cr ratio remained a statistically significant variable. Compared with the pathological findings, only the severity of multilayered elastic laminae of the small muscular artery was associated with both urinary NAG/Cr levels (p = 0.008) and bleeding events (p = 0.03). CONCLUSION Urinary NAG successfully predicted not only the severity of kidney disorders but also bleeding events after a PKB. Arteriosclerosis in the kidneys may be the mechanism underlying these increased bleeding events.

Protocol for a systematic review of the application of the kidney failure risk equation and Oxford classification in estimating prognosis in IgA nephropathy. Syst Rev 2024; 13:122. [PMID: 38704598 PMCID: PMC11070080 DOI: 10.1186/s13643-024-02543-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is a common cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Outcomes are highly variable and predicting risk of disease progression at an individual level is challenging. Accurate risk stratification is important to identify individuals most likely to benefit from treatment. The Kidney Failure Risk Equation (KFRE) has been extensively validated in CKD populations and predicts the risk of ESRD at 2 and 5 years using non-invasive tests; however, its predictive performance in IgAN is unknown. The Oxford classification (OC) describes pathological features demonstrated on renal biopsy that are associated with adverse clinical outcomes that may also inform prognosis. The objective of this systematic review is to compare the KFRE with the OC in determining prognosis in IgAN. METHODS A systematic review will be conducted and reported in line with PRISMA guidelines (PRISMA-P checklist attached as Additional file 1). Inclusion criteria will be cohort studies that apply the KFRE or OC to determine the risk of CKD progression or ESRD in individuals with IgAN. Multiple databases will be searched in duplicate to identify relevant studies, which will be screened first by title, then by abstract and then by full-text analysis. Results will be collated for comparison. Risk of bias and confidence assessments will be conducted independently by two reviewers, with a third reviewer available if required. DISCUSSION Identifying individuals at the highest risk of progression to ESRD is challenging in IgAN, due to the heterogeneity of clinical outcomes. Risk prediction tools have been developed to guide clinicians; however, it is imperative that these aids are accurate and reproducible. The OC is based on observations made by specialist renal pathologists and may be open to observer bias, therefore the utility of prediction models incorporating this classification may be diminished, particularly as in the future novel biomarkers may be incorporated into clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The risk of bleeding after percutaneous biopsy in kidney transplant recipients is usually low but may vary. A pre-procedure bleeding risk score in this population is lacking. METHODS We assessed the major bleeding rate (transfusion, angiographic intervention, nephrectomy, hemorrhage/hematoma) at 8 days in 28,034 kidney transplant recipients with a kidney biopsy during the 2010-2019 period in France and compared them to 55,026 patients with a native kidney biopsy as controls. RESULTS The rate of major bleeding was low (angiographic intervention: 0.2%, hemorrhage/hematoma: 0.4%, nephrectomy: 0.02%, blood transfusion: 4.0%). A new bleeding risk score was developed (anemia = 1, female gender = 1, heart failure = 1, acute kidney failure = 2 points). The rate of bleeding varied: 1.6%, 2.9%, 3.7%, 6.0%, 8.0%, and 9.2% for scores 0 to 5, respectively, in kidney transplant recipients. The ROC AUC was 0.649 (0.634-0.664) in kidney transplant recipients and 0.755 (0.746-0.763) in patients who had a native kidney biopsy (rate of bleeding: from 1.2% for score = 0 to 19.2% for score = 5). CONCLUSIONS The risk of major bleeding is low in most patients but indeed variable. A new universal risk score can be helpful to guide the decision concerning kidney biopsy and the choice of inpatient vs. outpatient procedure both in native and allograft kidney recipients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The known risks and benefits of native kidney biopsies are mainly based on the findings of retrospective studies. The aim of this multicentre prospective study was to evaluate the safety of percutaneous renal biopsies and quantify biopsy-related complication rates in Italy. METHODS The study examined the results of native kidney biopsies performed in 54 Italian nephrology centres between 2012 and 2020. The primary outcome was the rate of major complications 1 day after the procedure, or for longer if it was necessary to evaluate the evolution of a complication. Centre and patient risk predictors were analysed using multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS Analysis of 5304 biopsies of patients with a median age of 53.2 years revealed 400 major complication events in 273 patients (5.1%): the most frequent was a ≥2 g/dL decrease in haemoglobin levels (2.2%), followed by macrohaematuria (1.2%), blood transfusion (1.1%), gross haematoma (0.9%), artero-venous fistula (0.7%), invasive intervention (0.5%), pain (0.5%), symptomatic hypotension (0.3%), a rapid increase in serum creatinine levels (0.1%) and death (0.02%). The risk factors for major complications were higher plasma creatinine levels [odds ratio (OR) 1.12 for each mg/dL increase, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.08-1.17], liver disease (OR 2.27, 95% CI 1.21-4.25) and a higher number of needle passes (OR for each pass 1.22, 95% CI 1.07-1.39), whereas higher proteinuria levels (OR for each g/day increase 0.95, 95% CI 0.92-0.99) were protective. CONCLUSIONS This is the first multicentre prospective study showing that percutaneous native kidney biopsies are associated with a 5% risk of a major post-biopsy complication. Predictors of increased risk include higher plasma creatinine levels, liver disease and a higher number of needle passes.

Abstract
Bleeding remains the most clinically relevant complication of kidney biopsy and several prophylactic approaches were proposed, including desmopressin administration. We present the case of a 60-year-old man with a history of liver transplantation, admitted for the evaluation of a renal dysfunction. As part of our department protocol, desmopressin 60 μg was administered orally, 2 h before the percutaneous kidney biopsy. The patient developed acute, severe, symptomatic hyponatremia (i.e., headache and recurrent vomiting), followed by a life-threatening upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to a Mallory-Weiss syndrome. Although it is often used as bleeding prophylaxis prior to kidney biopsy, data regarding the efficacy and safety of desmopressin in this setting are inconsistent. Accordingly, we performed a thorough literature review of the use of desmopressin as bleeding prophylaxis prior to kidney biopsy, focusing on the incidence of hyponatremia. The reported incidence of hyponatremia (<130 mmol/l) was 7–11%, probably because serum sodium was monitored in few studies. Nevertheless, hyponatremia was rarely symptomatic but, in some cases, like the one presented here, its complications could be severe. Pre-biopsy low serum sodium and estimated glomerular filtration rate as well as high spot urine sodium and non-restricted fluid intake were reported to be associated with hyponatremia incidence. However, the current evidence cannot clearly establish which patients benefit the most from desmopressin use with respect to bleeding complications. We propose that when desmopressin is used for bleeding prophylaxis prior to kidney biopsy, measurements of serum sodium levels, before and every 6 h after, should complement ultrasound and hemoglobin as part of the patient post-procedural monitoring. Also, water intake should be restricted in the day of biopsy. However, this proposed approach should be adequately evaluated in a clinical trial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Native kidney biopsies are commonly performed in the diagnosis of acute kidney diseases and CKD. Because of the invasive nature of the procedure, bleeding-related complications are not uncommon. The National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases-sponsored Kidney Precision Medicine Project requires that all participants undergo a kidney biopsy; therefore, the objective of this analysis was to study complication rates of native kidney biopsies performed using automated devices under kidney imaging. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS This is a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature published from January 1983 to March 2018. The initial PubMed search yielded 1139 manuscripts. Using predetermined selection criteria, 87 manuscripts were included in the final analysis. A random effects meta-analysis for proportions was used to obtain combined estimates of complication rates. Freeman-Tukey double-arcsine transformations were used to stabilize variance as complications were rare. RESULTS A total of 118,064 biopsies were included in this study. Patient age ranged from 30 to 79 years, and 45% of patients were women. On the basis of our meta-analysis, pain at the site of biopsy is estimated to occur in 4.3% of biopsied patients, hematomas are estimated to occur in 11%, macroscopic hematuria is estimated to occur in 3.5%, bleeding requiring blood transfusions is estimated to occur in 1.6%, and interventions to stop bleeding are estimated to occur in only 0.3%. Death attributed to native kidney biopsy was a rare event, occurring only in an estimated 0.06% of all biopsies but only 0.03% of outpatient biopsies. Complication rates were higher in hospitalized patients and in those with acute kidney disease. The reported complications varied on the basis of study type and geographic location. CONCLUSIONS Although the native kidney biopsy is an invasive diagnostic procedure, the rates of bleeding complications are low. Albeit rare, death can occur postbiopsy. Complications are more frequently seen after kidney biopsies of hospitalized patients with AKI.

[PMID: 32775817 PMCID: PMC7403497 DOI: 10.1016/j.ekir.2020.05.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2020] [Revised: 04/24/2020] [Accepted: 05/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION To prevent bleeding after native kidney biopsy (NKB), nephrologists often prescribe desmopressin, especially for patients with reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at risk of uremia-related platelet dysfunction. However, only 1 randomized study has suggested a beneficial effect for desmopressin in patients with eGFR ≥60 ml/min per 1.73 m2. This retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate desmopressin effect on postbiopsy bleeding in all patients, regardless of eGFR and other comorbidities. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, all adult patients who underwent an NKB from April 1, 2013, to April 30, 2018, in a tertiary hospital were identified. The association between desmopressin use and bleeding complications, including hemoglobin fall, transfusion, hematoma, symptomatic hematoma, urgent radiologic study, and hypotension, was analyzed using multivariable logistic regression models. RESULTS A total of 413 native kidney biopsies were studied, 79% of which were performed after receiving desmopressin. Patients receiving desmopressin had worse chronic kidney disease (eGFR 28 vs. 45 ml/min per 1.73 m2; P < 0.001) and were more often hospitalized (48% vs. 32%; P = 0.009). Despite higher bleeding risk, patients using desmopressin had a similar likelihood of symptomatic hematomas (odds ratio [OR], 0.39; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.13-1.14) and a lower need for urgent radiologic studies (OR, 0.33; 95% CI, 0.11-0.98). CONCLUSION Patients at higher risk of bleeding using desmopressin before kidney biopsy had bleeding complications similar to those not using desmopressin. These results highlight potential important clinical and financial benefits of desmopressin use before kidney biopsy.
