Avcı B, Bilir ÖA, Özlü SG, Kanbur ŞM, Gökçebay DG, Bozkaya İO, Bayrakçı US, Özbek NY. Acute kidney injury and risk factors in pediatric patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Pediatr Nephrol 2024; 39:2199-2207. [PMID: 38324191 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-024-06290-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 02/08/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with increased mortality and morbidity. Understanding the risk factors for AKI is essential. This study aimed to identify AKI incidence, risk factors, and prognosis in pediatric patients post-HSCT. METHODS We conducted a retrospective case-control study of 278 patients who were divided into two groups: those with AKI and those without AKI (non-AKI). The groups were compared based on the characteristics and clinical symptoms of patients, as well as post-HSCT complications and the use of nephrotoxic drugs. Logistic regression analysis was employed to identify the risk factors for AKI. RESULTS A total of 16.9% of patients had AKI, with 8.5% requiring kidney replacement therapy. Older age (OR 1.129, 95% CI 1.061-1.200, p < 0.001), sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (OR 2.562, 95% CI 1.216-5.398, p = 0.011), hemorrhagic cystitis (OR 2.703, 95% CI 1.178-6.199, p = 0.016), and nephrotoxic drugs, including calcineurin inhibitors, amikacin, and vancomycin (OR 17.250, 95% CI 2.329-127.742, p < 0.001), were identified as significant independent risk factors for AKI following HSCT. Mortality rate and mortality due to AKI were higher in stage 3 patients than those in stage 1 and 2 AKI (p = 0.019, p = 0.007, respectively). Chronic kidney disease developed in 1 patient (0.4%), who was in stage 1 AKI (2.1%). CONCLUSIONS AKI poses a serious threat to children post-HSCT, leading to alarming rates of mortality and morbidity. To enhance outcomes and mitigate these risks, it is vital to identify AKI risk factors, adopt early preventive strategies, and closely monitor this patient group.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to identify risk factors associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) by systematically reviewing the relevant literature. METHODS This meta-analysis surveyed relevant articles published in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library up to December 2022 to identify the reliable risk factors for AKI after HSCT, calculating odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS Twenty studies with 4,378 patients were included. Umbilical cord blood transplantation (OR = 2.36; 95% CI: 1.77-3.15; p < 0.00001), calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) (OR = 1.97; 95% CI: 1.06-3.67; p = 0.03), sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) (OR = 5.80; 95% CI: 3.96-8.51; p < 0.00001), allogeneic transplantation (OR = 4.27; 95% CI: 1.83-9.95; p = 0.0008), hypertension (OR = 2.07; 95% CI: 1.16-3.69; p = 0.01), amphotericin B (OR = 4.03; 95% CI: 2.54-6.40; p < 0.00001), vancomycin (OR = 2.19; 95% CI: 1.24-3.87; p = 0.007), and total body irradiation (TBI) (OR = 1.81; 95% CI: 1.27-2.57; p = 0.001) were risk factors for AKI. CONCLUSION Umbilical cord blood transplantation, CNIs, SOS, allogeneic transplantation, hypertension, amphotericin B, vancomycin, and TBI were risk factors for AKI. It is important for clinical staff to be aware of these risk factors in their treatment planning with patients undergoing HSCT.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI), chronic renal failure, and tubular abnormalities represent the kidney disease spectrum of malignancy. Prompt diagnosis and treatment may prevent or reverse these complications. The pathogenesis of AKI in cancer is multifactorial. AKI affects outcomes in cancer, oncological therapy withdrawal, increased hospitalization rate, and hospital stay. Renal function derangement can be recovered with early detection and targeted therapy of cancers. Identifying patients at higher risk of renal damage and implementing preventive measures without sacrificing the benefits of oncological therapy improve survival. Multidisciplinary approaches, such as relieving obstruction, hydration, etc., are required to minimize the kidney injury rate. Different keywords, texts, and phrases were used to search Google, EMBASE, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar for related original and review articles that serve the article's aim well. In this nonsystematic article, we aimed to review the published data on cancer-associated kidney complications, their pathogenesis, management, prevention, and the latest updates. Kidney involvement in cancer occurs due to tumor therapy, direct kidney invasion by tumor, or tumor complications. Early diagnosis and therapy improve the survival rate. Pathogenesis of cancer-related kidney involvement is different and complicated. Clinicians' awareness of all the potential causes of cancer-related complications is essential, and a kidney biopsy should be conducted to confirm the kidney pathologies. Chronic kidney disease is a known complication in malignancy and therapies. Hence, avoiding nephrotoxic drugs, dose standardization, and early cancer detection are mandatory measures to prevent renal involvement.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and appears to be linked to increased morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence, etiology, predictors and survival impact of early AKI in the post-allogeneic HSCT setting. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective single center study that included 155 allogeneic transplant procedures from June 2017 through September 2019. RESULTS AKI was observed in 50 patients (32%). In multivariate analysis, age (OR 31.55, 95% CI [3.42; 290.80], p=0.002), evidence of disease at the time of transplant (OR 2.54, 95% CI [1.12; 5.75], p=0.025), cytomegalovirus reactivation (OR 5.77, 95% CI [2.43; 13.72], p<0.001) and hospital stay >35 days (OR 2.66, 95% CI [1.08; 6.52], p=0.033) were independent predictors for AKI. Increasing age (HR 1.02, 95% CI [1.00; 1.04], p=0.029), increasing length of hospital stay (HR 1.02, 95% CI [1.01; 1.03], p=0.002), matched unrelated reduced intensity conditioning HSCT (HR 1.91, 95% CI [1.10; 3.33], p=0.022), occurrence of grade III/IV acute graft-versus-host disease (HR 2.41, 95% CI [1.15; 5.03], p=0.019) and need for mechanical ventilation (HR 3.49, 95% CI [1.54; 7.92], p=0.003) predicted an inferior survival in multivariate analysis. Early AKI from any etiology was not related to worse survival. CONCLUSION Patients submitted to HSCT are at an increased risk for AKI, which etiology is often multifactorial. Due to AKI incidence, specialized nephrologist consultation as part of the multidisciplinary team might be of benefit.

Abstract
Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is a common therapy for the treatment of neoplastic and metabolic disorders, hematological diseases, and fatal immunological deficiencies. HCT can be subcategorized as autologous or allogeneic, with each modality being associated with their own benefits, risks, and post-transplant complications. One of the most common complications includes acute kidney injury (AKI). However, diagnosing HCT patients with AKI early on remains quite difficult. Therefore, this evidence-based guideline, compiled by the Pediatric Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (PCRRT) working group, presents the various factors that contribute to AKI and recommendations regarding optimization of therapy with minimal complications in HCT patients.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) and is associated with non-relapse mortality (NRM) and quality of life (QOL). Multiple factors may contribute to AKI during allo-HCT and are often present at the same time making it difficult to determine the cause of AKI in each patient. Nephrotoxic drugs, infections, thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), and sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) are well described causes of AKI during allo-HCT. Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is a major complication of allo-HCT that mainly targets the intestines, liver, and skin. However, recent studies suggest aGVHD may also attack the kidney and contribute to AKI following allo-HCT. For example, severe aGVHD is associated with AKI, suggesting a link between the two. In addition, animal models have shown donor immune cell infiltration and increased expression of inflammatory cytokines in recipient kidneys after allo-HCT. Therefore, aGVHD may also target the kidney and contribute to AKI following allo-HCT. Herein, we describe the etiology, diagnosis, risk factors, pathophysiology, prevention, and treatment of renal injury after allo-HCT. In addition, we highlight emerging evidence that aGVHD may contribute to the development of AKI after allo-HCT.

Incidence and Risk Factors for Acute Kidney Injury after Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation: A Prospective Study. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10020262. [PMID: 35203472 PMCID: PMC8869231 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10020262] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2021] [Revised: 01/14/2022] [Accepted: 01/24/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). (2) Methods: The aim was to identify the incidence, severity, and risk factors for AKI during the first 100 days after allo-HSCT; we performed a prospective observational study on 135 consecutive patients. (3) Results: The mean age was 38.3 ± 11.9 years (50.6% females), AKI developed in 93 patients (68.9%), the median time of appearance was 28 days, and the mean serum creatinine at the time of AKI was 1.8 ± 0.8 mg/dL. A total of 36 (38.7%) patients developed stage 1 AKI, 33 (35.5%) patients developed stage 2, and 24 (25.8%) patients developed stage 3; eight (8.6%) patients required temporary hemodialysis, and the mortality rate in these patients was 87.5%. Death was twice as frequent in the AKI subgroup, without statistical significance. Cyclosporine overdose (HR = 2.36, 95% CI: 1.45-3.85, p = 0.001), tacrolimus overdose (HR = 4.72, 95% CI: 2.22-10.01, p < 0.001), acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) (HR = 1.96, 95% CI: 1.13-3.40, p = 0.01), and CRP level (HR = 1.009, 95% CI: 1.007-1.10, p < 0.001) were independent risk factors for AKI. Sepsis (HR = 5.37, 95% CI: 1.75-16.48, p = 0.003) and sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HR = 5.10, 95% CI: 2.02-12.85, p = 0.001) were found as independent risk factors for AKI stage 3. (4) Conclusions: AKI occurs with high incidence and increased severity after allo-HSCT. Careful monitoring of calcineurin inhibitors and proper management of sepsis may reduce this risk.

Abstract
The aim of the review is to present the most common renal complications after HSCT such as acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease glomerulopathies. HSCT is a critical therapy for many cancer patients with cancer, as well as patients with some other nonmalignant hematologic disorders and certain congenital immune deficiencies. Kidney complications after HSCT in a form of acute kidney injury is associated with significant morbidity and worse patient outcome. In addition, risk of chronic kidney disease is also increased following HSCT. It is very important to be aware, prevent, early recognize and treat renal damage to improve kidney and patient survival.

Late Kidney Morbidity and Mortality in Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Survivors. Transplant Cell Ther 2021; 27:434.e1-434.e6.

Abstract
Increasing numbers of patients are undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT); however, further characterization of late kidney outcomes in HCT recipients is needed. This study investigated long-term kidney outcomes in HCT survivors and compared the risk of late kidney morbidity/mortality in these survivors with that in non-HCT cancer survivors and the general population. A cohort of long-term (≥2 years) allogeneic and autologous HCT survivors treated for cancer at our institution between 1992 and 2009 (n = 1792) was compared with a non-HCT cancer cohort selected from the state cancer registry (n = 5455) matched on diagnosis, sex, and age at year of cancer diagnosis/HCT (index date). Additional comparisons were made with a matched general population sample drawn from state driver's licensing files (DOL; n = 16,340). Statewide hospital discharge codes and death registry codes (International Classification of Diseases 9/10) were used to identify cases of acute kidney failure (AKF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) occurring ≥2 years after the index date. Cumulative incidence rates and hazard ratios (HRs; according to multivariable proportional hazard models) estimated the absolute and relative risks of AKF and CKD. Among HCT survivors, we examined the influence of additional characteristics including estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at 1-year post-HCT. The cumulative incidence rates of late kidney complications were slightly greater in the HCT survivors versus the non-HCT cancer survivors at 10 years after the index date. Both groups were more likely to experience late AKF or CKD morbidity/mortality compared with the general population (AKF: HCT, 9.4%; non-HCT, 7.7%; DOL, 1.8%; CKD: HCT, 5.7%; non-HCT, 5.0%; DOL, 1.2%). Differences between HCT survivors and non-HCT survivors were seen primarily starting 5 years after the index date, with increased hazards for late AKF (HR, 1.4; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1 to 1.9) and CKD (HR, 1.9; 95% CI, 1.3 to 2.8). Among allogeneic HCT survivors, the presence of hypertension at <2 years post-HCT was significantly associated with subsequent AKF (HR, 2.9; 95% CI, 1.7 to 5.0) and CKD (HR, 5.2; 95% CI, 2.7 to 10.0) at 2 to 10 years post-HCT, with similar associations seen for autologous HCT survivors. Low eGFR (<60 mL/min/1.73 m2) at 1 year post-HCT was associated with late AKF morbidity/mortality for both allogeneic (HR, 5.3; 95% CI, 2.1 to 13.2) and autologous HCT (HR, 2.7; 95% CI, 1.2 to 6.3) compared with survivors with normal eGFR (>90 mL/min/1.73 m2). Overall, the risk for hospitalization or death from AKF or CKD continued to increase with time from HCT and exceeded that of non-HCT cancer survivors at >5 years after treatment. Appropriate screening and early intervention with medication adjustments or lifestyle modifications in those with hypertension or evidence of abnormal eGFR post-HCT could potentially mitigate this risk.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of cancer that occurs in up to 50% of neoplastic patients during the natural history of their disease; furthermore, it has a huge impact on key outcomes such as overall prognosis, length of hospitalization and costs. AKI in cancer patients has different causes, either patient-, tumour- or treatment-related. Patient-related risk factors for AKI are the same as in the general population, whereas tumour-related risk factors are represented by compression, obstruction, direct kidney infiltration from the tumour as well by precipitation, aggregation, crystallization or misfolding of paraprotein (as in the case of multiple myeloma). Finally, treatment-related risk factors are the most common observed in clinical practice and may present also with the feature of tumour lysis syndrome or thrombotic microangiopathies. In the absence of validated biomarkers, a multidisciplinary clinical approach that incorporates adequate assessment, use of appropriate preventive measures and early intervention is essential to reduce the incidence of this life-threatening condition in cancer patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) remains a frequent complication in children undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and an independent risk factor of the patient's survival and a prognostic factor of progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the causes of these complications are diverse, usually overlapping, and less well understood. METHODS This retrospective analysis was performed in 43 patients (28 boys, 15 girls; median age, 5.5 years) undergoing HSCT between April 2006 and March 2019. The main outcome was the development of AKI defined according to the Pediatric Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss, End-stage Renal Disease (pRIFLE) criteria as ≥ 25% decrease in estimated creatinine clearance. The secondary outcome was the development of CKD after a 2-year follow-up. RESULTS AKI developed in 21 patients (49%) within 100 days after HSCT. After adjusting for possible confounders, posttransplant AKI was associated with matched unrelated donor (MUD) (HR, 6.26; P = 0.042), but not total body irradiation (TBI). Of 37 patients who were able to follow-up for 2 years, 7 patients died, but none had reached CKD during the 2 years after transplantation. CONCLUSIONS Posttransplant AKI was strongly associated with HSCT from MUD. Although the incidence of AKI was high in our cohort, that of posttransplant CKD was lower than reported previously in adults. TBI dose reduced, GVHD minimized, and infection prevented are required to avoid late renal dysfunction after HSCT in children since their combinations may contribute to the occurrence of AKI.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is associated with high mortality rates. To determine the incidence and risk factors associated with AKI in patients undergoing HSCT during the infusion period, patients admitted for HSCT from 2012 to 2015 were studied. AKI was classified according to the KDIGO (Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes) criteria. We analyzed the main comorbidities, underlying conditions, types of transplant, preparative regimens, and use of potentially nephrotoxic drugs as risk factors for AKI. Among the 180 patients (median age 53 years), 69 (36.5%) developed AKI (23 KDIGO 1, 28 KDIGO 2, and 18 KDIGO 3), 49 (50.0%) undergoing allogeneic and 20 (22.3%) autologous transplantation, and 18 (9.4%) required dialysis. The main comorbidities were hypertension (38; 19.8%), and diabetes (19; 9.9%). The median pre-transplant creatinine was 0.7 mg/dl. Twenty-one patients died (10.9%). The risk factors for AKI in allogeneic HSCT were as follows: baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (RR 1.12 (1.02-1.22), p = 0.019), use of vasopressors (RR 3.72 (2.20-6.29), p < 0.001), and use of methotrexate (RR 1.83 (1.08-3.11), p = 0.025). Male gender (RR 5.91 (1.65-21.16), p = 0.006), baseline eGFR (RR 1.22 (1.04-1.43), p = 0.011), and use of aminoglycosides (RR 3.92 (1.06-14.44), p = 0.041) were the risk factors for AKI associated with autologous HSCT. During hospitalization for HSCT, AKI was a common problem. The use of a low dose of methotrexate to prevent graft versus host disease was associated with its occurrence.

Abstract
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent and widely recognized complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Despite relatively high prevalence, AKI after allo-HSCT and its risk factors in children remain obscure. The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence and course of AKI during the first 100 days after allo-HSCT in children and to investigate its associations with baseline characteristics. Methods: Retrospective single-center chart review of all patients under 18 who underwent allo-HSCT during 2011-2017 was performed. AKI was defined using the pediatric RIFLE criteria and only the patients with pRIFLE stage I (eGFR decrease by 50% or more) or higher were considered for the analysis. Recurrent AKI and acute kidney disease (AKD) were defined according to the Acute Disease Quality Initiative consensus. Demographic, clinical, and procedure-related characteristics were recorded at the day of HSCT. Results: Fifty-one patients (68.6% boys) with a median age of 9 years (range: 0.25-17) were included. During a median follow-up of 82 (IQR, 60-98) days, 27 (52.9%) patients experienced a total of 39 AKI episodes, translating into one AKI episode per 100 patient days. Multiple AKIs occurred in 11 (21.6%) patients and 18 (35.3%) progressed to AKD. Four patients died, all with ongoing or previous AKI. Patients with AKD were, on average, older (10 vs. 6 years; p = 0.03) and had higher baseline body mass index (BMI) [standard deviation score (SDS) 0.83 vs. 0.04, p = 0.05], whereas patients with recurrent AKI had higher baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (244.1 vs. 193.9 ml/min/1.73 m2, p = 0.02). In the adjusted Cox models (HR; 95% CI), older age (1.10; 1.01-1.20) was associated with higher risk of overall AKI and higher eGFR (1.02; 1.01-1.04) was associated with higher risk of recurrent AKI, while older age (1.17; 1.04-1.31), higher eGFR (HR 1.01; 1.0-1.02), and higher BMI SDS (1.66; 1.01-2.72) were associated with higher risk of AKD. Conclusions: AKI is a frequent early complication of allo-HSCT in children, and approximately one fifth experience AKI recurrence and one third develop AKD. Older age, higher BMI, and higher eGFR at the day of transplant may have an effect on the risk of AKI development and its course.

Abstract
Dramatic advances in the care of patients with cancer have led to significant improvement in outcomes and survival. However, renal manifestations of the underlying cancer as well as the effects of anti-neoplastic therapies leave patients with significant morbidity and chronic kidney disease risks. The most common renal manifestations associated with cancer include acute kidney injury (AKI) in the setting of multiple myeloma, tumor lysis syndrome, post-hematopoietic stem cell therapy, and AKI associated with chemotherapy. Knowledge of specific risk factors, modification of risk and careful attention to rapid AKI diagnosis are critical for improving outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Patients with cancer increasingly make up a significant proportion of patients receiving care in the intensive care unit (ICU). Acute kidney injury and cancer-associated electrolyte disorders are encountered in many of these patients and can significantly impact both short-term and long-term outcomes. RECENT FINDINGS Advances in chemotherapeutic regimens as well as in our understanding of cancer-associated kidney disease highlight the need for specialized knowledge of the unique causes and therapies required in this subset of critically ill patients. This is especially the case as targeted cancer therapies may have off-target effects that need to be recognized in a timely manner. SUMMARY This review outlines key knowledge areas for critical care physicians and nephrologists caring for patients with cancer and associated kidney issues such as acute kidney injury and electrolyte disorders. Specifically, understanding kidney-specific effects of new chemotherapeutic approaches is outlined, and provides an up-to-date compendium of these effects.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a very common complication after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and is associated with a poor prognosis. Generally, the kidneys are assumed to not be no direct targets of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), and renal impairment is often attributed to several other factors occurring in the early phase after BMT. Our study aimed to prove the existence of renal GvHD in a fully major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-mismatched model of BALB/c mice conditioned and transplanted according to 2 different intensity protocols. Syngeneically transplanted and untreated animals served as controls. Four weeks after transplantation, allogeneic animals developed acute GvHD that was more pronounced in the high-intensity protocol (HIP) group than in the low-intensity protocol (LIP) group. Urea and creatinine as classic serum markers of renal function could not verify renal impairment 4 weeks after BMT. Creatinine levels were even reduced as a result of catabolic metabolism and loss of muscle mass due to acute GvHD. Proteinuria, albuminuria, and urinary N-acetyl-beta-d-glucosaminidase (NAG) levels were measured as additional renal markers before and after transplantation. Albuminuria and NAG were only significantly increased after allogeneic transplantation, correlating with disease severity between HIP and LIP animals. Histological investigations of the kidneys showed renal infiltration of T cells and macrophages with endarteriitis, interstitial nephritis, tubulitis, and glomerulitis. T cells consisted of CD4+, CD8+, and FoxP3+ cells. Renal expression analysis of allogeneic animals showed increases in indoleamine-2,3 dioxygenase (IDO), different cytokines (tumor necrosis factor α, interferon-γ, interleukin 1 α [IL-1α], IL-2, IL-6, and IL-10), and adhesion molecules (intercellular adhesion molecule 1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1), resembling findings from other tissues in acute GvHD. In summary, our study supports the entity of renal GvHD with histological features suggestive of cell-mediated renal injury. Albuminuria and urinary NAG levels may serve as early markers of renal impairment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Childhood acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a rare and heterogeneous disease. Pediatric data on the epidemiology of acute kidney injury (AKI) in AML are limited. We report on the incidence of AKI in childhood AML and the risk factors associated with AKI episodes. METHODS A retrospective cohort of 53 patients (≤18 years), with de novo AML, receiving chemotherapy over a 10-year period. All serum creatinine (SCr) levels during therapy-related hospitalizations were assessed to stage AKI episodes as per Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria. Severe AKI was defined as AKI stages 2 or 3 and urine output criteria were not used. AKI risk factors were assessed independently in both cycle 1 alone and combining all chemotherapy cycles. RESULTS AKI developed in 34 patients (64%) with multiple AKI episodes in 10 patients (46 total episodes). Twenty-four severe AKI episodes occurred in 23 patients (43.4%) with a mean duration of 26.1 days (SD 7.3). In cycle 1, hyperleukocytosis was not predictive of AKI, but severe sepsis was an independent risk factor of severe AKI (odds ratio [OR]: 13.4; 95% CI 1.9-94.9). With cycles combined, all subjects with AKI had severe sepsis and older age (≥10 years) was associated with severe AKI (OR: 20.8; 95% CI 3.8-112.2). CONCLUSION There was a high incidence of AKI in our AML cohort with a strong association with older age (≥10 years) and severe sepsis. Larger prospective studies are needed to confirm the high burden of AKI and risk factors in this susceptible population.

Abstract
Background Membranous nephropathy (MN), the leading cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults, is characterized by the deposition of subepithelial immune deposits. Most of the cases are primary, while only approximately 25% of the cases are secondary to some known diseases. Recently, MN has been considered to be a possible presentation of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) of the kidney in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) patients. In autologous HSCT populations, there have been scarce reports of associated MN, as a result of immune dysregulation leading to systemic autoimmunity and miming chronic GVHD. Case presentation We report an exceptional case of MN associated to an acute renal failure occurring within days following an autologous HSCT indicated by multiple myeloma. There was no evidence of GVHD or myeloma relapse. A complete remission of nephrotic syndrome with normalization of renal function were rapidly obtained by corticosteroid therapy. Conclusion This is the first published case of acute renal failure due to MN occurring in the acute phase of an autologous HSCT. These findings support the antibodymediated autoimmune glomerular disease.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common adverse event after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). AKI is associated with early death or chronic kidney disease among transplant survivors. However, large-scale pediatric studies based on standardized criteria are lacking. We performed a retrospective analysis of 1057 pediatric patients who received allogeneic HCT to evaluate the incidence and risk factors of AKI according to AKI Network criteria within the first 100 days of HCT. We also determined the effect of AKI on patient survival. The 100-day cumulative incidences of all stages of AKI, stage 3 AKI, and AKI requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) were 68.2% ± 1.4%, 25.0% ± 1.3%, and 7.6% ± .8%, respectively. Overall survival at 1 year was not different between patients without AKI and those with stage 1 or 2 AKI (66.1% versus 73.4% versus 63.9%, respectively) but was significantly different between patients without AKI and patients with stage 3 AKI with or without RRT requirement (66.1% versus 47.3% versus 7.5%, respectively; P < .001). Age, year of transplantation, donor type, sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), and acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) were independent risk factors for stages 1 through 3 AKI. Age, donor, conditioning regimen, number of HCTs, SOS, and acute GVHD were independent risk factors for AKI requiring RRT. Our study revealed that AKI was a prevalent adverse event, and severe stage 3 AKI, which was associated with reduced survival, was common after pediatric allogeneic HCT. All patients receiving allogeneic HCT, especially those with multiple risk factors, require careful renal monitoring according to standardized criteria to minimize nephrotoxic insults.

Abstract
AKI in the setting of HSCT is commonly investigated among adult patients. In the same way, malignancies requiring treatment with HSCT are not limited to the adult patient population, AKI following HSCT is frequently encountered within pediatric patient populations. However, inadequate information regarding epidemiology and pathophysiology specific to pediatric patients prevents development of appropriate and successful therapeutic strategies for those afflicted. Addressing AKI in the context of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, chemotherapy, thrombotic microangiopathy and hypertension post chemotherapy, glomerulonephritis, and graft versus host disease provides greater insight into renal impairment associated with these HSCT-related ailments. To obtain a better understanding of AKI among pediatric patients receiving HSCT, we investigated the current literature specifically addressing these areas of concern.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is a life-saving procedure for patients with several malignant and nonmalignant hematological disorders. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication after HSCT. The aim of the study was to identify the incidence and outcomes of AKI associated with HSCT in our center. Sixty-six HSCT recipients from October 2008 to March 2014 at Christian Medical College, Ludhiana, were followed up till July 31, 2014. RIFLE criteria utilizing serum creatinine was used to diagnose and stage AKI. Mortality and AKI were the primary outcomes studied. The risk of AKI in relation to conditioning regimen, type of HSCT (allogeneic and autologous), co-morbidities, graft versus host disease, drug toxicity, and veno-occlusive disease were analyzed. Sixty-five patients were included in the study. Male: Female ratio was 3.6:1 with a median age of 17 years (1.5-62). Forty-nine (75.4%) patients had AKI over 3 months, R 17 (26.2%), I 19 (29.2%), and F 13 (20%). AKI occurred at a mean of 19.4 ± 29.2 days after the HSCT. AKI was more commonly observed in patients undergoing allogeneic versus autologous HSCT (85.2% in allogeneic vs. 27.8% in autologous, P = 0.005). Mortality was seen in 20 patients (30.8%) in 3 months. AKI in the first 2 weeks (P < 0.016) was a significant risk factor for mortality. Incidence of AKI in HSCT is high and accounts for significant mortality and morbidity. RIFLE classification of AKI has prognostic significance among HSCT patients with an incremental trend in mortality.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a highly effective treatment strategy for lymphoproliferative disorders and bone marrow failure states including aplastic anemia and thalassemia. However, its use has been limited by the increased treatment related complications, including acute kidney injury (AKI) with an incidence ranging from 20% to 73%. AKI after HSCT has been associated with an increased risk of mortality. The incidence of AKI reported in recipients of myeloablative allogeneic transplant is considerably higher in comparison to other subclasses mainly due to use of cyclosporine and development of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in allogeneic groups. Acute GVHD is by itself a major independent risk factor for the development of AKI in HSCT recipients. The other major risk factors are sepsis, nephrotoxic medications (amphotericin B, acyclovir, aminoglycosides, and cyclosporine), hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), marrow infusion toxicity, and tumor lysis syndrome. The mainstay of management of AKI in these patients is avoidance of risk factors contributing to AKI, including use of reduced intensity-conditioning regimen, close monitoring of nephrotoxic medications, and use of alternative antifungals for prophylaxis against infection. Also, early identification and effective management of sepsis, tumor lysis syndrome, marrow infusion toxicity, and hepatic SOS help in reducing the incidence of AKI in HSCT recipients.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury and long-term renal dysfunction are common problems following bone morrow transplantation (BMT) and highly related to mortality. The frequency and risk of renal dysfunction are directly related to the method of BMT, with myeloablative allogeneic BMT being associated to the highest risk followed by non-myeloablative allogeneic and myeloablative autologous BMT. The type of BMT is, thus, more important than co-factors such as advanced age, comorbidities, or high baseline serum creatinine. The causes for renal failure are multiple and include chemotherapy and high-dose radiation with fluid loss by diarrhea or vomiting, sepsis or nephrotoxic drugs such as calcineurin inhibitors and antimicrobials. Additionally, there are BMT-specific reasons for renal dysfunction including marrow infusion toxicity, hepatic veno-occlusive disease, thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) and graft versus host disease (GvHD). Once the kidney has been damaged, the therapy depends on the underlying disease. Particularly in cases of TMA and GvHD, immunosuppressive therapy is essential. In TMA, plasma exchange therapy or eculizumab should be additionally considered if the complement system is affected. Hence, patients with these causes should preferably be referred to tertiary centers to allow early diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The present article reviews the recent literature on the main aspects of acute kidney injury (AKI) developing in patients with hematological malignancies admitted to ICU. RECENT FINDINGS Up to two thirds of critically ill patients with hematological malignancies develop AKI. Current mortality rates range from 40 to 60% for most patients with hematological malignancies, except for recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in whom outcomes remain very poor. Renal function recovery occurs in most patients with AKI, but is dependent on the underlying causes. AKI is usually multifactorial, resulting from causes common to other ICU patients and related to the underlying malignancy or its treatment. New targeted therapies and treatment strategies are potentially associated with AKI. Management of these patients requires a high degree of suspicion, close monitoring of metabolic parameters, and use of preventive strategies to limit risk of AKI or to mitigate its severity. SUMMARY AKI is a frequent and severe complication in critically ill patients with hematological malignancies. As the clinical management is complex, close collaboration with hematologists is paramount.

Abstract
AIM To determine the value of molecular biomarkers (BMs) associated with tubular epithelial damage in developing and predicting acute kidney injury (AKI) after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). SUBJECTS AND METHODS The open-label observational prospective study enrolled 90 patients (46 males and 44 females) who had undergone HSCT. The concentrations of BMs (calbindin, clusterin, interleukin-18 (IL-18), kidney injury molecules-1 (KIM-1), glutathione S-transferase-π (GST-π), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) were measured in urinary samples 7 days before HSCT (week 0) and at weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Main clinical parameters were simultaneously monitored. AKI was diagnosed and stratified according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines. RESULTS At weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 after HSCT, the proportion of AKI cases was 7.8, 8.9, 12.5, 27.3, and 35.9%, respectively. The elevated urinary levels of BMs (above the median) were found to be substantially more common than AKI cases. The urinary excretion of the majority of BMs dramatically increased in the early HSCT period. The median number of simultaneously elevated BMs was 3 (2; 5) during the entire follow-up period. Clusterin, MCP-1 and KIM-1 positively and significantly correlated with serum creatinine at the week following the determination of BMs in the multivariate linear regression models adjusted for other confounders. The higher urinary KIM-1 and/or MCP-1 excretion regardless of other clinical indicators was associated with the higher relative risk (RR) of AKI, which increased by 2.3 times with a rise in one of these indicators and by 3.4 times with a rise in both indicators. CONCLUSION Multiple renal toxic effects after HSCT result in a substantial and simultaneous elevation of urinary excretion of BMs for tubular damage. Among the BMs studied, KIM-1 and MCP-1 seem to be the most suitable molecules for assessing the risk of AKI in this cohort of patient within the predictive diagnostic approach.

Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) often complicates the course of haematological malignancies (HMs) and confers a worse prognosis. The majority of these patients are managed by the attending physician, yet, a small group, mostly coincident with the worst presentation and outcomes, requires nephrology consultation, challenging the clinician with ethical issues regarding the decision to initiate or forgo renal support therapy. The purpose of this work is to identify the prognostic determinants for in-hospital mortality in this population. Methods A retrospective, observational chart review was undertaken at a single tertiary referral oncological centre. We reviewed the medical records of in-hospital patients with AKI and HM between 1 January 1995 and 31 December 2014 who met the criteria for RIFLE (Risk, Injury, and Failure; and Loss; and End-stage kidney disease) classification of I or higher and were followed by a nephrologist. Results Three hundred and forty-five patients were included in the study. Predictors of in-hospital death in patients with HM and AKI were septic shock [odds ratio (OR) 4.290 (95% CI 2.058–8.943)], invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) [OR 4.305 (95% CI 2.075–8.928)] and allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) [OR 2.232 (95% CI 1.260–3.953)]. The combination of each risk factor was used to estimate the probability of dying. Patients with all three risk factors had a risk of death of 86%. Conclusions Septic shock, IMV and allogeneic SCT were identified as independent predictors of death in patients with HM and AKI, with only a small chance of survival if all three were present. Depending on the combination of risk factors, the indication for aggressive life support therapies, such as RST, might be questionable.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a well-documented complication of pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Dialysis after HSCT is associated with a lower overall survival (OS); however, the association between less severe AKI and OS is unclear. We retrospectively studied 205 consecutive pediatric HSCT patients to determine the incidence and impact of all stages of AKI on OS in pediatric HSCT recipients. We used the peak pRIFLE grade during the first 100 days to classify AKI (ie, R = risk, I = injury, F = failure, L = loss of function, E = end-stage renal disease) and used the modified Schwartz formula to estimate glomerular filtration rate. AKI was observed in 173 of 205 patients (84%). The 1-year OS rate decreased significantly with an increasing severity of pRIFLE grades (P < .01). There was no difference in the OS between patients without AKI and the R/I group. Regardless of the dialysis status, stages F/L/E had significantly lower rates of OS compared with patients without AKI or R/I (P < .01). There was no difference in OS among patients with dialysis and F/L/E without dialysis (P = .65). Stages F/L/E predicted mortality independent of acute graft-versus-host disease, gender, and malignancy. The OS of children after HSCT decreases significantly with an increasing severity of AKI within the first 100 days post-transplant. Although our data did not show an increased risk of mortality with stages R/I, stages F/L/E predicted mortality regardless of dialysis. Prevention and minimization of AKI may improve survival after pediatric HSCT.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) patients with an incidence of 21-73%. Prevention and early diagnosis reduces the frequency and severity of this complication. Predictive biomarkers are of major importance to timely diagnosis. Neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a widely investigated novel biomarker for early diagnosis of AKI. However, no study assessed NGAL for AKI diagnosis in HSCT patients. We performed further analyses on gathered data from our recent trial to evaluate the performance of urine NGAL (uNGAL) as an indicator of AKI in 72 allogeneic HSCT patients. AKI diagnosis and severity were assessed using Risk-Injury-Failure-Loss-End-stage renal disease and AKI Network criteria. We assessed uNGAL on days -6, -3, +3, +9 and +15. Time-dependent Cox regression analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship between uNGAL and AKI occurrence. (HR = 1.04 (1.008-1.07), p = 0.01). There was a relation between uNGAL day + 9 to baseline ratio and incidence of AKI (unadjusted HR = 1.047 (1.012-1.083), p < 0.01). The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve for day + 9 to baseline ratio was 0.86 (0.74-0.99, p < 0.01) and a cut-off value of 2.62 was 85% sensitive and 83% specific in predicting AKI. Our results indicated that increase in uNGAL augmented the risk of AKI and the changes of day +9 uNGAL concentrations from baseline could be of value for predicting AKI in HSCT patients. Additionally uNGAL changes preceded serum Cr raises by nearly 2 days.

Acute graft-versus-host disease of the kidney in allogeneic rat bone marrow transplantation. PLoS One 2014; 9:e115399.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell or bone marrow transplantation (BMT) causes graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD). However, the involvement of the kidney in acute GVHD is not well-understood. Acute GVHD was induced in Lewis rats (RT1l) by transplantation of Dark Agouti (DA) rat (RT1(a)) bone marrow cells (6.0 × 10(7) cells) without immunosuppression after lethal irradiation (10 Gy). We examined the impact of acute GVHD on the kidney in allogeneic BMT rats and compared them with those in Lewis-to-Lewis syngeneic BMT control and non-BMT control rats. In syngeneic BMT and non-BMT control rats, acute GVHD did not develop by day 28. In allogeneic BMT rats, severe acute GVHD developed at 21-28 days after BMT in the skin, intestine, and liver with decreased body weight (>20%), skin rush, diarrhea, and liver dysfunction. In the kidney, infiltration of donor-type leukocytes was by day 28. Mild inflammation characterized by infiltration of CD3(+) T-cells, including CD8(+) T-cells and CD4(+) T-cells, and CD68(+) macrophages to the interstitium around the small arteries was noted. During moderate to severe inflammation, these infiltrating cells expanded into the peritubular interstitium with peritubular capillaritis, tubulitis, acute glomerulitis, and endarteritis. Renal dysfunction also developed, and the serum blood urea nitrogen (33.9 ± 4.7 mg/dL) and urinary N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG: 31.5 ± 15.5 U/L) levels increased. No immunoglobulin and complement deposition was detected in the kidney. In conclusion, the kidney was a primary target organ of acute GVHD after BMT. Acute GVHD of the kidney was characterized by increased levels of urinary NAG and cell-mediated injury to the renal microvasculature and renal tubules.

Abstract
Glomerulopathy is an uncommon but increasingly recognized complication of hematopoietic cell transplantation. It typically manifests as membranous nephropathy, less commonly as minimal change disease, and rarely as proliferative glomerulonephritis. There is evidence to suggest that these glomerulopathies might represent manifestations of chronic graft-versus-host disease. In this report, we focus on membranous nephropathy as the most common form of glomerulopathy after hematopoietic cell transplantation. We present a case of membranous nephropathy that developed 483 days post-allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in a patient with a history of acute graft-versus-host disease. We also share our experience with 4 other cases of membranous nephropathy occurring after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Clinicopathologic correlates, including the association with graft-versus-host-disease, HLA antigen typing, glomerular deposition of immunoglobulin G (IgG) subclasses, subepithelial colocalization of IgG deposits with phospholipase A2 receptor staining, C4d deposition along the peritubular capillaries, and treatment, are discussed with references to the literature.

Abstract
Age-dependent renal length tables are routinely used when interpreting pediatric ultrasound. Standard renal length tables may not be accurate for HCT patients due to treatment effects on kidney size. The purpose of this study was to determine whether renal size changes from expected lengths based on age after HCT in the absence of other markers of renal disease. Four hundred and fifty renal measurements were made on 101 patients who underwent HCT between 2006 and 2010. Renal length was measured at 1-90 days pre-HCT and at 0-30, 31-90, 91-180, and 181+ days post-HCT. Values were compared with normal renal length tables. Average post-HCT renal lengths were greater than established normative renal length data within every age group. Age-adjusted average renal lengths measured at 0-30 and 31-90 days post-transplantation were significantly larger than pre-HCT renal lengths, with relative increases of 6.9% (4.5, 9.4; p < 0.001) and 3.9% (1.4, 6.4; p = 0.003), respectively. Average renal length did not differ significantly after 90 days post-transplantation. HCT patients may have larger kidneys in the absence of renal disease. Awareness of the potential phenomenon of transient renal enlargement following HCT can prevent misdiagnosis and eliminate unnecessary diagnostic evaluations, interventions, anxiety, resource allocation, and financial costs.

Abstract
Cyclosporine, a drug used in immunosuppression protocols for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation that has a narrow therapeutic index, may cause various adverse reactions, including nephrotoxicity. This has a direct clinical impact on the patient. This study aims to summarize available evidence in the scientific literature on the use of cyclosporine in respect to its risk factor for the development of nephrotoxicity in patients submitted to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. A systematic review was made with the following electronic databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, CINAHL, LILACS, SciELO and Cochrane BVS. The keywords used were: “bone marrow transplantation” OR “stem cell transplantation” OR “grafting, bone marrow” AND cyclosporine OR cyclosporin OR “risk factors” AND “acute kidney injury” OR “acute kidney injuries” OR “acute renal failure” OR “acute renal failures” OR “nephrotoxicity”. The level of scientific evidence of the studies was classified according to the Oxford Centre for Evidence Based Medicine. The final sample was composed of 19 studies, most of which (89.5%) had an observational design, evidence level 2B and pointed to an incidence of nephrotoxicity above 30%. The available evidence, considered as good quality and appropriate for the analyzed event, indicates that cyclosporine represents a risk factor for the occurrence of nephrotoxicity, particularly when combined with amphotericin B or aminoglycosides, agents commonly used in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation recipients.

Risk factors for thrombotic microangiopathy in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell recipients receiving GVHD prophylaxis with tacrolimus plus MTX or sirolimus. Bone Marrow Transplant 2014; 49:684-90.

Abstract
Transplantation-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) is a feared complication of allogeneic hematopoietic SCT (HSCT) owing to its high mortality rate. The use of calcineurin inhibitors or sirolimus (SIR) for GVHD prophylaxis has been suggested as a potential risk factor. However, the impact of tacrolimus (TAC) and SIR combinations on the increased risk of TA-TMA is currently not well defined. We retrospectively analyzed the incidence of TA-TMA in 102 allogeneic HSCT recipients who consecutively received TAC plus SIR (TAC/SIR) (n=68) or plus MTX (TAC/MTX)±ATG (n=34) for GVHD prophylaxis. No significant differences were observed in the incidence of TA-TMA between patients receiving TAC/SIR vs TAC/MTX±ATG (7.4% vs 8.8%, P=0.8). Only grade III-IV acute GVHD, previous HSCT and serum levels of TAC >25 ng/mL were associated with a greater risk of TA-TMA. Patients developing TA-TMA have significantly poorer survival (P<0.001); however, TA-TMA ceased to be an independent prognostic factor when it was included in a multivariate model. In conclusion, the combination of TAC/SIR does not appear to pose a higher risk of TA-TMA. By contrast, we identified three different risk groups for developing TA-TMA.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a potentially life-saving therapy that has traditionally been associated with high treatment-related mortality due to direct regimen toxicity and a high incidence of graft-versus-host disease. Historically, pre-existing renal insufficiency has been considered an exclusion criterion for transplantation. The advent of nonmyeloablative conditioning regimens as a less toxic modality for treatment has made HSCT more accessible to elderly patients and patients with comorbidities, such as renal impairment. However, there is no clear standard for how to dose preparative regimens for patients with chronic renal impairment who undergo HSCT. This article serves as a review of the current literature to provide dosing recommendations for commonly used preparative agents in the setting of chronic kidney disease, with the aim of providing optimal dosing for this patient population.

Abstract
Antimicrobial treatment is often indicated to neutropenic patients. Although renal failure is a common complication of many antibiotics, no information could be found in the literature defining which are the best screening criteria for detecting renal injury. In this paper, the authors aim to assess the progress to renal failure in neutropenic patients on antimicrobial use and to compare different diagnostic criteria of renal failure in association to antimicrobial agents used. This is a cohort study conducted from February to August 2006 at the Hospital das Clínicas of the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, which included patients with neutropenia and antimicrobial therapy for the treatment of Healthcare Associated Infections notified by the Hospital Infection Control Committee. Renal injury has ensued in 25% of patients and no statistical difference between distinct criteria for renal injury was observed. Association of greater number of antimicrobials was associated with renal impairment. Time required for renal injury was independent of the antimicrobial regimen used, but mortality among patients with renal injury was higher when compared to those who had preserved renal function.

Abstract
It is not unusual for children to require dialysis for fluid and electrolyte management after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Previous studies have documented high mortality in children who require dialysis after HCT, but recent data are lacking. The purpose of this study was to compare the incidence of dialysis after pediatric HCT and the survival of patients who received dialysis in 2 decades, 1990-1999 and 2000-2009. A total of 1427 patients age <21 years who underwent a first HCT at the University of Minnesota between January 1990 and December 2009 were reviewed using prospectively collected data from the institutional HCT database. The incidence of dialysis during the first 100 days post-HCT and survival at 1 year post-HCT in the 2 cohorts were determined. Comparisons between patients who did and did not require dialysis were made using the χ(2) and Fisher exact tests as appropriate. Kaplan-Meier estimates and 95% confidence intervals for 1-year post-HCT overall survival were reported by dialysis group and compared using the log-rank test. Predictors of overall survival among patients requiring dialysis were assessed using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. The incidence of dialysis was not significantly different in the 2 cohorts (8.2% for 1990-1999 versus 8.9% for 2000-2009; P = .6326). Patients requiring dialysis were significantly more likely to survive to or past 1 year in the 2000-2009 cohort compared with the 1990-1999 cohort (23% versus 11%; P < .0001). Multivariate analyses found that older age at the time of HCT, primary disease type, pulmonary hemorrhage, and HCT in 1990-1999 were associated with increased mortality in the dialyzed population. The use of cyclosporine was associated with increased survival in the patients who received dialysis. Dialysis is an important complication of pediatric HCT with an incidence that has remained constant over the last 2 decades. Survival was improved in the 2000-2009 cohort regardless of dialysis status. Despite a recent significant reduction in mortality in patients requiring dialysis, mortality remains higher in these patients than in those who do not need dialysis.

Abstract
AKI is common in patients with cancer, and it causes interruptions in therapy and increased hospital length of stay, cost, and mortality. Although cancer patients are susceptible to all of the usual causes of AKI in patients without cancer, there are a number of AKI syndromes that occur more frequently or are unique to this patient population. AKI also confers substantially increased risk of short-term death, and the ability to reverse AKI portends a better outcome in some cancers, such as multiple myeloma. Several trends in oncology, including increased survival, better supportive care, older patients who have received multiple chemotherapy regimens, and new therapeutic options, are driving an increase in the numbers of cancer patients who develop AKI. As a result, nephrologists should be increasingly familiar with the diagnosis, management, and treatment of AKI in this setting. Here, we summarize recent data on epidemiology of AKI in cancer patients, describe the most common AKI syndromes in this population, and highlight emerging areas in the growing field of onconephrology.
