Abstract
PURPOSE Present study was designed to investigate the association between muscular tissue desaturation and acute kidney injury (AKI) in older patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. METHOD A total of 253 patients (≥ 65 years old) who underwent abdominal surgery with expected duration ≥ 2 h were enrolled. Muscular tissue oxygen saturation (SmtO2) was monitored at quadriceps and bilateral flanks during surgery. Muscular desaturation was defined as SmtO2 < 90% baseline lasting for > 60 s. The primary outcome was the incidence of AKI within postoperative 7 days. The association between muscular desaturation and AKI was analyzed by multivariable logistic regression model. The secondary outcomes indicated the other complications within postoperative 30 days. RESULTS Among 236 patients, 44 (18.6%) of them developed AKI. The incidence of muscular desaturation at quadriceps was 28.8% (68/236). Patients with muscular desaturation had higher incidence of AKI than those without desaturation (27.9% [19/68], vs. 14.9% [25/168], P = 0.020). After adjustment of confounders, multivariable analysis showed that muscular desaturation at quadriceps was significantly associated with an increased risk of AKI (OR = 2.84, 95% CI 1.21-6.67, P = 0.016). Muscular desaturations at left and right flank were also associated with an increased risk of AKI (OR = 6.38, 95% CI 1.78-22.89, P = 0.004; OR = 8.90, 95% CI 1.42-45.63; P = 0.019, respectively). Furthermore, patients with muscular desaturation may have a higher risk of pulmonary complications, sepsis and stroke at 30-day follow-up. CONCLUSION Muscular desaturation was associated with postoperative AKI in older patients undergoing major abdominal surgery which may serve as a predictor of AKI.

Injury 2024:111758. [PMID: 39098571 DOI: 10.1016/j.injury.2024.111758] [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: 02/27/2024] [Revised: 06/28/2024] [Accepted: 07/28/2024] [Indexed: 08/06/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Older patients are expected to comprise 40 % of trauma admissions in the next 30 years. The use of whole blood (WB) has shown promise in improving mortality while lowering the utilization of blood products. However, the use of WB in older trauma patients has not been examined. The objective of our study is to determine the safety and efficacy of a WB first transfusion strategy in injured older patients. METHODS Older trauma patients, defined as age ≥55 years old, were reviewed from March 2016-November 2021. Patients that received a WB first resuscitation strategy were compared to those that received a ratio based component strategy. Demographics as well as complications rates, blood product transfusion volumes, and mortality were evaluated. Univariate and multivariable analysis was used to determine independent predictors of mortality. RESULTS There were 388 older trauma patients that received any blood products during the study period. A majority of patients received a WB first resuscitation strategy (83 %). Compared to patients that received component therapy, patients that received WB first were more likely female, less likely to have a penetrating mechanism, and had a slightly lower injury severity score. The-30 day mortality rate was comparable (WB 36% vs component 37 %, p = 0.914). While rates of AKI were slightly higher in those that received WB, this did not result in increased rates of renal replacement therapy (3 % vs 2 %, p = 1). Further, compared to patients that received components, patients that were resuscitated with a WB first strategy significantly utilized lower median volumes of platelets (0 mL vs 197 mL, p < 0.001), median volumes of plasma (0 mL vs 1253 mL, p < 0.001, and median total volume of blood products (1000 mL vs 2859 mL, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The use of WB in the older trauma patient appears safe, with mortality and complication rates comparable to component therapy. Blood product utilization is significantly less in those that are resuscitated with WB first.

Abstract
Background Limited evidence exists regarding the clinical baseline characteristics at admission for acute kidney injury (AKI) before and after interventional cardiac procedures (ICP) in elderly patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods A total of 488 elderly patients were enrolled in this retrospective single-center study conducted from January 2019 to July 2022, and a classification and regression tree (CART) analysis was performed to identify the high-risk population. Results The AKI incidence was 21.1 % (103/488) in this study, with 27 and 76 individuals developing AKI before and after ICP, respectively. CART analysis revealed that exposure to nephrotoxic drugs and diuretics had the strongest predictive capacities for identifying patients at risk of developing pre-ICP AKI, with the incidence among these high-risk patients ranging from 6.5 % to 13.8 %. Meanwhile, the optimum discriminators for identifying those at high risk of post-ICP AKI were the administration of diuretics, D-value ≤ -860 mL, age >73 years, and administration of nephrotoxic drugs, and the latter model predicted that the AKI incidence among high-risk patients was between 50.0 % and 60.0 %. Conclusions Elderly patients with CAD exhibited an elevated incidence of AKI. CART models suggested that exposure to nephrotoxic drugs and diuretics, D-value, and age were significantly associated with AKI in the elderly with CAD. Importantly, these baseline characteristics at admission could be utilized to identify elderly patients at high risk of pre- and post-ICP AKI.

Abstract
The kidney epithelium, with its intricate arrangement of highly specialized cell types, constitutes the functional core of the organ. Loss of kidney epithelium is linked to the loss of functional nephrons and a subsequent decline in kidney function. In kidney transplantation, epithelial injury signatures observed during post-transplantation surveillance are strong predictors of adverse kidney allograft outcomes. However, epithelial injury is currently neither monitored clinically nor addressed therapeutically after kidney transplantation. Several factors can contribute to allograft epithelial injury, including allograft rejection, drug toxicity, recurrent infections and postrenal obstruction. The injury mechanisms that underlie allograft injury overlap partially with those associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the native kidney. Studies using advanced transcriptomic analyses of single cells from kidney or urine have identified a role for kidney injury-induced epithelial cell states in exacerbating and sustaining damage in AKI and CKD. These epithelial cell states and their associated expression signatures are also observed in transplanted kidney allografts, suggesting that the identification and characterization of transcriptomic epithelial cell states in kidney allografts may have potential clinical implications for diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious condition affecting elderly patients. Despite its significance, comprehensive research focusing specifically on the clinical profile and short-term outcomes of AKI in this vulnerable population is lacking. Objective This study aimed to evaluate the clinical profile and short-term outcomes of AKI in elderly patients admitted to a tertiary care center. Methods A prospective observational study was conducted from December 2023 to March 2024, involving 75 elderly patients (aged ≥65 years) diagnosed with AKI. Baseline demographic data, clinical profiles, laboratory investigations, mortality rate among elderly patients diagnosed with AKI within 30 days of diagnosis, and short-term outcomes were recorded and analyzed. Descriptive statistics and appropriate statistical tests were used for the data analysis. Results The study cohort had a mean age of 72.6 years. Hypertension was present in 55 patients (73.3%), and diabetes mellitus was observed in 30 patients (40.0%). Prerenal causes of AKI were identified in 40 patients (53.3%), while acute tubular necrosis was found in 25 patients (33.3%). Stage 2 AKI was the most common, affecting 35 patients (46.7%). Out of the 75 patients, 15 patients (20.0%) succumbed to AKI within the study period. Deceased patients had longer hospital stays, with a median of 16 days compared to 10 days for survivors. ICU admission was required for 13 of the deceased patients (86.7%), compared to 32 of the surviving patients (53.3%). The need for renal replacement therapy was higher among the deceased patients, with 11 out of 15 patients (73.3%) requiring it, compared to 19 out of 60 surviving patients (31.7%). Renal function recovery was notably lower in the deceased patients. Conclusion AKI in elderly patients was associated with significant morbidity and mortality, highlighting the need for early recognition, appropriate management, and preventive strategies. A comprehensive evaluation of the clinical profile and short-term outcomes of AKI in the elderly population provides valuable insights for optimizing patient care and improving outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few epidemiologic studies on acute kidney injury (AKI) have focused on the older adult population. This study aimed to clarify the characteristics and risk factors for AKI in this population. METHODS This retrospective observational study was performed with the clinical data of all outpatients and inpatients aged ≥ 65 years at the time of enrolment at Kochi Medical School Hospital between 1 January 1981 and 31 December 2021. The primary cohort was divided into those aged 65-74 and ≥ 75 years. The primary outcome was the occurrence of AKI. RESULTS Of 83,822 patients, 38,333 were included in the 65-74-year-old group, whereas 45,489 were included in the ≥ 75-year-old group. Prevalences of the first AKI event in the 65-74-year-old and ≥ 75-year-old groups were 11.9% and 12.4%, respectively. Overall, lower estimated glomerular filtration rate, lower albumin level, lower or higher level of serum uric acid, and histories of diabetes mellitus, chronic heart failure, ischaemic heart disease, non-ischaemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, cancer, and liver disease were independent risk factors for an AKI event. The risk factors for AKI unique to each cohort were using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and loop diuretics (L-DI), and histories of hypertension (HT) and vascular diseases (VD) in men aged 65-74 years; using NSAIDs, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), L-DI and other diuretics (O-DI), and histories of HT and VD in men aged ≥ 75 years; using NSAIDs and O-DI and not using angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs), and a history of HT in women aged 65-74 years; and use of L-DI and a history of VD in women aged ≥ 75 years. Presence of proteinuria was a risk factor for developing AKI. CONCLUSIONS Many AKI risk factors reported thus far are associated with AKI development. However, there are differences in the effects of the renin-angiotensin system inhibitors, ACEIs, and ARBs (ARBs may be protective). Additionally, the U-shaped relationship between AKI onset and uric acid levels differs between sexes in the elderly population, similar to other age groups, but this sex difference disappears in the very elderly population. Pre-existing chronic kidney disease is a risk factor for the development of AKI.

Abstract
Data about contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) in oldest old (age ≥85 years) ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients are scarce. We evaluated the incidence and the 1-year prognostic impact of CA-AKI in this population. Patients were included in a multicenter real-world registry, and CA-AKI was defined according to KDIGO (Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes) criteria. Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) were defined as the composite of all-cause death, stroke, unplanned coronary revascularization, and heart failure hospitalization. The primary outcome was the incidence and impact of CA-AKI on MACCEs at 1 year follow-up. Out of 461 STEMI patients (mean age 88.6 ± 2.9 years), 102 (22.1%) patients developed CA-AKI. Chronic kidney disease was the strongest predictor of CA-AKI (odds ratio [OR]: 4.52, 95% CI: 2.81-7.30, P < .01). The CA-AKI cohort showed a higher risk of MACCEs (adjusted HR: 1.75, 95% CI: 1.13-2.71, P = .01), driven mainly by all-cause death (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 2.39, 95% CI: 1.41-4.07, P = .01) and followed by heart failure hospitalization (adjusted HR: 2.01, 95% CI: 1.08-3.76, P = .01). Among oldest old STEMI, CA-AKI was frequent and associated with a higher incidence of MACCEs at 1-year follow-up.

Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication after major surgery. This study assessed the risk of developing or worsening of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and other clinical outcomes in patients experiencing AKI after major surgery. Methods This retrospective observational study used Optum's de-identified Clinformatics Data Mart Database to investigate cardiorenal outcomes in adult patients at the first AKI event following major surgery. The primary outcome was CKD stage ≥3; secondary outcomes included myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, heart failure, all-cause hospitalization, end-stage kidney disease, need for dialysis or kidney transplant and composite measures. Follow-up was up to 3 years. Additionally, the effect of intercurrent events on the risk of clinical outcomes was assessed. Results Of the included patients (N = 31 252), most were male (61.9%) and White (68.9%), with a median age of 72 years (interquartile range 64-79). The event rates were 25.5 events/100 patient-years (PY) for CKD stage ≥3, 3.1 events/100 PY for end-stage kidney disease, 3.0 events/100 PY for dialysis and 0.1 events/100 PY for kidney transplants. Additionally, there were 6.9 events/100 PY for MI, 8.7 events/100 PY for stroke and 49.8 events/100 PY for all-cause hospitalization during follow-up. Patients with AKI relapses as intercurrent events were more likely to develop CKD stage ≥3 than those with just one AKI event after major surgery. Conclusion This analysis demonstrated that patients experiencing AKI following major surgery are at high risk of developing severe CKD or worsening of pre-existing CKD and other cardiorenal clinical outcomes such as MI and stroke.

Among other organs also the kidneys show age-related changes, which are associated with a decline in various aspects of renal function. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of structural and functional changes in elderly and also to specifically address the increased risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) in this population. RECENT FINDINGS Ageing in the kidneys is affected by many different factors, such as low grade chronic inflammation, called inflammageing, and various comorbidities. Nevertheless, a decrease of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) occurs independent of the presence of comorbidities and a steady decline of GFR has been reported in both healthy men and women. Pharmacodynamic of many drugs is altered by these changes. Additionally the rate of diuretic resistance appears to be increased. The cause of AKI occurrence in older age is, multifactorial and includes preventable triggers (hypovolemia, hypotension, nephrotoxins) as well as changes associated with aging. SUMMARY Age-related alterations of the kidneys were found at microscopic and macroscopic levels of the cell. These changes lead to a reduced renal reserve and subsequently to an increased vulnerability of aged kidneys when an additional stressor is added. Age is an independent risk factor for developing AKI. Physicians should take into account the altered renal function in elderly patients and take renal protective measures at an early stage.

Abstract
Introduction This study investigated the role of renal-intestinal crosstalk in the transition from acute kidney injury (AKI) to chronic kidney disease (CKD) in elderly individuals. Methods Using young and aged mice, we induced bilateral ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) and compared intestinal and kidney inflammation over 28 days. To determine the role of the microbiome in gut-kidney crosstalk, we analyzed the microbiome of fecal samples of the young vs. aged mice and examined the effects of probiotic supplementation. Results In the post-IRI recovery phase, prolonged intestinal and renal inflammation along with dysbiosis were evident in aged vs. younger mice that was associated with severe renal dysfunction and fibrosis progression in aged mice. Probiotic supplementation with Bifidobacterium bifidum BGN4 and Bifidobacterium longum BORI alleviated intestinal inflammation but not intestinal leakage, characterized by decreased inflammatory cytokine levels and decreased infiltration of macrophages, neutrophils, and Th17 cells. This was associated with improved M1-dominant renal inflammation and ultimately improved renal function and fibrosis, suggesting that renal-intestinal crosstalk in aged mice contributes to the transition from AKI to CKD. Discussion Our study findings suggest that exacerbation of chronic inflammation through the gut-kidney axis might be an important mechanism in the transition from AKI to CKD in the elderly.

Abstract
Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the status of serum procalcitonin (PCT) in patients stung by wasps and evaluate the association between PCT levels and acute kidney injury (AKI). Methods: Patients stung by wasps admitted to two tertiary hospitals between January 2017 and December 2020 were screened for enrollment. We evaluated serum PCT levels on admission in patients stung by wasps. The patients were divided into an AKI group and a non-AKI group. A logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between PCT status and AKI. The performance of PCT concentrations in predicting the occurrence of AKI was evaluated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). Results: A total of 138 patients were enrolled, and 66 patients suffered AKI. PCT levels were elevated in 78.99% of patients stung by wasps. Nearly half of the patients (47.83%) developed AKI. PCT levels were correlated with creatinine levels on admission (r = 0.787, 95% CI: 0.713-0.844). PCT levels in patients with AKI were higher than those in patients without AKI (p < 0.001). After adjustment for covariates, PCT levels on admission were independently associated with AKI (OR: 1.575, 95% CI: 1.071-2.317, p = 0.021). The AUROC of PCT levels on admission was 0.837 (95% CI, 0.771-0.902, p < 0.001). A PCT level of 0.57 μg/L was the cutoff for maximizing the Youden index; the specificity was 79.45%, and the sensitivity was 73.43%. Conclusion: Serum PCT levels may be a potential biomarker of AKI in patients stung by wasps.

Abstract
Deteriorating kidney function is frequently observed in the elderly population, as well as vulnerability to acute kidney failure, such as ischemic/reperfusion injury (IRI), and inadequate recovery from IRI is one of the mechanisms of kidney dysfunction in the elderly. The potential mediators in the progression of kidney dysfunction in the aging kidney have not yet been clearly revealed. In this study, we investigated the role of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2), which is an essential regulator of cellular redox homeostasis, in restoring kidney function after IRI in the aging kidney. NRF2 expression decreased significantly in the kidneys of old mice, as well as histologic and functional renal recovery after IRI; 45-min renal pedicle clamping was retarded in old compared with young mice. Persistent renal injury during the recovery phase after IRI was aggravated in NRF2 knockout (KO) mice compared to wild-type mice. Oxidative stress occurred in NRF2 KO old mice during the IRI recovery phase along with decreased expression of mitochondrial OXPHOS-related proteins and a reduction in mitochondrial ATP content. In vitro, hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury was aggravated in senescent human proximal tubuloepithelial cells after NRF2 restriction using NRF2 siRNA, which also increased the level of oxidative stress and deteriorated mitochondrial dysfunction. Treating the mice with an NRF2 activator, CDDO-Me, alleviated the injury. These results suggest that NRF2 may be a therapeutic target for the aging kidney.

Underdiagnosed CKD in Geriatric Trauma Patients and Potent Prevention of Renal Impairment from Polypharmacy Risks through Individual Pharmacotherapy Management (IPM-III). J Clin Med 2023; 12:4545. [PMID: 37445580 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12134545] [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: 05/06/2023] [Revised: 06/27/2023] [Accepted: 06/29/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
The aging global patient population with multimorbidity and concomitant polypharmacy is at increased risk for acute and chronic kidney disease, particularly with severe additional disease states or invasive surgical procedures. Because from the expertise of more than 58,600 self-reviewed medications, adverse drug reactions, drug interactions, inadequate dosing, and contraindications all proved to cause or exacerbate the worsening of renal function, we analyzed the association of an electronic patient record- and Summaries of Product Characteristics (SmPCs)-based comprehensive individual pharmacotherapy management (IPM) in the setting of 14 daily interdisciplinary patient visits with the outcome: further renal impairment with reduction of eGFR ≥ 20 mL/min (redGFR) in hospitalized trauma patients ≥ 70 years of age. The retrospective clinical study of 404 trauma patients comparing the historical control group (CG) before IPM with the IPM intervention group (IG) revealed a group-match in terms of potential confounders such as age, sex, BMI, arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and injury patterns. Preexisting chronic kidney disease (CKD) > stage 2 diagnosed as eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 on hospital admission was 42% in the CG versus 50% in the IG, although in each group only less than 50% of this was coded as an ICD diagnosis in the patients' discharge letters (19% in CG and 21% in IG). IPM revealed an absolute risk reduction in redGFR of 5.5% (11 of 199 CG patients) to 0% in the IPM visit IG, a relative risk reduction of 100%, NNT 18, indicating high efficacy of IPM and benefit in improving outcomes. There even remained an additive superimposed significant association that included patients in the IPM group before/beyond the 14 daily IPM interventions, with a relative redGFR risk reduction of 0.55 (55%) to 2.5% (5 of 204 patients), OR 0.48 [95% CI 0.438-0.538] (p < 0.001). Bacteriuria, loop diuretics, allopurinol, eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, and CKD 3b were significantly associated with redGFR; of the latter, 10.5% developed redGFR. Further multivariable regression analysis adjusting for these and established risk factors revealed an additive, superimposed IPM effect on redGFR with an OR 0.238 [95% CI 0.06-0.91], relative risk reduction of 76.2%, regression coefficient -1.437 including patients not yet visited in the IPM period. As consequences of the IPM procedure, the IG differed from the CG by a significant reduction of NSAIDs (p < 0.001), HCT (p = 0.028) and Würzburger pain drip (p < 0.001), and significantly increased prescription rate of antibiotics (p = 0.004). In conclusion, (1) more than 50% of CKD in geriatric patients was not pre-recognized and underdiagnosed, and (2) the electronic patient records-based IPM interdisciplinary networking strategy was associated with effective prevention of further periinterventional renal impairment and requires obligatory implementation in all elderly patients to urgently improve patient and drug safety.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify the clinical risk factors that influence in-hospital mortality in elderly patients with persistent sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (S-AKI) and to establish and validate a nomogram to predict in-hospital mortality. DESIGN Retrospective cohort analysis. SETTING Data from critically ill patients at a US centre between 2008 and 2021 were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV database (V.1.0). PARTICIPANTS Data from 1519 patients with persistent S-AKI were extracted from the MIMIC-IV database. PRIMARY OUTCOME All-cause in-hospital death from persistent S-AKI. RESULTS Multiple logistic regression revealed that gender (OR 0.63, 95% CI 0.45-0.88), cancer (2.5, 1.69-3.71), respiratory rate (1.06, 1.01-1.12), AKI stage (2.01, 1.24-3.24), blood urea nitrogen (1.01, 1.01-1.02), Glasgow Coma Scale score (0.75, 0.70-0.81), mechanical ventilation (1.57, 1.01-2.46) and continuous renal replacement therapy within 48 hours (9.97, 3.39-33.9) were independent risk factors for mortality from persistent S-AKI. The consistency indices of the prediction and the validation cohorts were 0.780 (95% CI: 0.75-0.82) and 0.80 (95% CI: 0.75-0.85), respectively. The model's calibration plot suggested excellent consistency between the predicted and actual probabilities. CONCLUSIONS This study's prediction model demonstrated good discrimination and calibration abilities to predict in-hospital mortality of elderly patients with persistent S-AKI, although it warrants further external validation to verify its accuracy and applicability.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acute kidney injury (AKI) is occasionally detected in patients receiving anti-tuberculosis (TB) treatment. This prospective cohort study is the first to investigate the incidence, risk factors, and renal outcomes of AKI during anti-TB treatment. METHODS This study was conducted from January 1, 2016, to May 31, 2018. Patients with a new diagnosis of TB and on standard anti-TB treatment were enrolled, and the patients received regular laboratory monitoring. AKI was defined according to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcome (KDIGO) criteria. Urinalysis, renal ultrasonography, blood erythrocyte morphology, and fractional excretion of sodium were performed at AKI onset. The TB treatment regimen was adjusted by the primary physician if necessary. Risk factors for AKI were identified through Cox regression. RESULTS In total, 106 patients were recruited (mean age 52.6 years, 71.7% men). Eleven (10.3%) patients experienced AKI. Increased serum uric acid and hemoglobin levels were noted at AKI onset. All patients with AKI achieved renal recovery and completed anti-TB treatment containing rifampin. Age [hazard ratio (HR) 1.06 (1.02-1.11)], a higher baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR; HR 1.04 (1.02-1.06)], and a blood eosinophil count > 350 (109/L) [HR 10.99 (2.28-53.02)] were associated with a higher risk of AKI during TB treatment. CONCLUSION Regular pharmacovigilant monitoring revealed an incidence of renal impairment during anti-TB treatment that was higher than expected. AKI was more common in older patients with a higher eGFR and blood eosinophil count. However, the complications had no influence on TB treatment completion, and no permanent renal impairment occurred.

Abstract
Background: Contemporary guidelines advocate for early invasive strategy with coronary angiography in patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS). Still, the impact of an invasive strategy in older patients remains controversial and may be challenging in spoke hospitals with no catheterization laboratory (cath-lab) facility. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyse the characteristics and outcomes of patients ≥80 years old with NSTE-ACS admitted to spoke hospitals. Methods: Observational−retrospective study of all consecutive NSTE-ACS patients admitted to two spoke hospitals of our cardiology network, where a service strategy (same-day transfer between a spoke hospital and a hub centre with a cath-lab facility in order to perform coronary angiography) was available. Patients were followed up for 1 year after the admission date. Results: From 2013 to 2017, 639 patients were admitted for NSTE-ACS; of these, 181 (28%) were ≥80 years old (median 84, IQR 82−89) and represented the study cohort. When the invasive strategy was chosen (in 105 patients, or 58%), 98 patients (93%) were initially managed with a service strategy, whereas the remainder of the patients were transferred from the spoke hospital to the hub centre where they completed their hospital stay. Of the patients managed with the service strategy, a shift of strategy after the invasive procedure was necessary for 10 (10%). These patients remained in the hub centre, while the rest of the patients were sent back to the spoke hospitals, with no adverse events observed during the back transfer. The median time to access the cath-lab was 50 h (IQR 25−87), with 73 patients (70%) reaching the invasive procedure <72 h from hospital admission. A conservative strategy was associated with: older age, known CAD, clinical presentation with symptoms of LV dysfunction, lower EF, renal failure, higher GRACE score, presence of PAD and atrial fibrillation (all p < 0.03). At the 1-year follow-up, the overall survival was significantly higher in patients treated with an invasive strategy compared to patients managed conservatively (94% ± 2 vs. 54% ± 6, p < 0.001; HR: 10.4 [4.7−27.5] p < 0.001), even after adjustment for age, serum creatinine, known previous CAD and EF (adjusted HR: 2.0 [1.0−4.0]; p < 0.001). Conclusions: An invasive strategy may confer a survival benefit in the elderly with NSTE-ACS. The same-day transfer between a spoke hospital and a hub centre with a cath-lab facility (service strategy) is safe and may grant access to the cath-lab in a timely fashion, even for the elderly.

Methods A total of 168 patients aged ≥80 years who underwent hip fracture surgery at a tertiary orthopaedic hospital from January 1, 2020 to August 31, 2020 were enrolled and followed up for one year. Patients were divided into HFHFS and non-HFHFS cohorts according to blood pressure within 24 h after surgery. General difference comparison, univariate and multivariate regression, and survival analysis were applied to investigate the association between HSHSF and in-hospital and one-year clinical outcomes. Results The incidence of HFHFS was 23.8% (40/168), with a median time to onset of 8.0 (5.0-12.0) hours after surgery. The HFHFS group had more chronic heart disease before injury and experienced more positive fluid balance on the day of surgery (P values were 0.032 and 0.028, respectively). After adjustment for potential confounders, HFHFS was associated with prolonged length of hospital stay (B 2.66, 95% CI 0.22, 5.10; P = 0.033), postoperative cardiac dysfunction (OR 2.92, 95% CI 1.05, 8.11; P = 0.039), and postoperative brain dysfunction (OR 3.51, 95% CI 1.50, 8.23; P = 0.004). HFHFS had no effect on one-year modified Rankin Scale (mRS) (B 0.28, 95% CI -0.28, 0.84; P = 0.322) and one-year mortality (HR 1.07, 95% CI 0.29, 3.96; P = 0.917). Conclusion Many older patients develop hypotension several hours after hip fracture surgery, which may be related with preexisting decline in cardiac reserve in addition to postoperative hidden blood loss. Patients who experienced HFHFS were more likely to have postoperative cardiac and brain dysfunction and longer hospital stay. However, HFHFS had no significant effect on mRS and mortality at one year.

Abstract
BackgroundSex-stratified medicine is an important aspect of precision medicine. We aimed to compare the incidence and risk factors of acute kidney injury (AKI) for critically ill men and women with sepsis. Furthermore, the short-term mortality was compared between men and women with sepsis associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI).MethodThis was a retrospective study based on the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV database. We used the multivariable logistic regression analysis to evaluate the independent effect of sex on the incidence of SA-AKI. We further applied three machine learning methods (decision tree, random forest and extreme gradient boosting) to screen for the risk factors associated with SA-AKI in the total, men and women groups. We finally compared the intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital mortality between men and women with SA-AKI using propensity score matching.ResultsA total of 6463 patients were included in our study, including 3673 men and 2790 women. The incidence of SA-AKI was 83.8% for men and 82.1% for women. After adjustment for confounders, no significant association was observed between sex and the incidence of SA-AKI (odds ratio (OR), 1.137; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.949-1.361; p=0.163). The machine learning results revealed that body mass index, Oxford Acute Severity of Illness Score, diuretic, Acute Physiology Score III and age were the most important risk factors of SA-AKI, irrespective of sex. After propensity score matching, men had similar ICU and hospital mortality to women.ConclusionsThe incidence and associated risk factors of SA-AKI are similar between men and women, and men and women with SA-AKI experience comparable rates of ICU and hospital mortality. Therefore, sex-related effects may play a minor role in developing SA-AKI. Our study helps to contribute to the knowledge gap between sex and SA-AKI.

Abstract
BackgroundRenal function in acute decompensated heart faiulre (ADHF) is a strong predictor of disease evolution and poor outcome. Current biomarkers for early diagnostic of renal injury in the setting of ADHF are still controversial, and their association to early pathological changes needs to be established. By applying a proteomic approach, we aimed to identify early changes in the differential urine protein signature associated with development of renal injury in patients hospitalised due to ADHF.Materials and MethodsPatients (71 [64–77] years old) admitted at the emergency room with ADHF and hospitalised were investigated (N = 64). Samples (urine/serum) were collected at hospital admission (day 0) and 72 h later (day 3). Differential serum proteome was analysed by two-dimensional electrophoresis and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation-time of flight (MALDI-ToF/ToF). Validation studies were performed using ELISA.ResultsProteomic analysis depicted urinary vitamin D binding protein (uVDBP) as a two spots protein with increased intensity in ADHF and significant differences depending on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Urinary VDBP in patients with ADHF at hospitalisation was > threefold higher than in healthy subjects, with the highest levels in those patients with ADHF already presenting renal dysfunction. At day 3, urine VDBP levels in patients maintaining normal renal function dropped to normal values (P = 0.03 vs. day 0). In contrast, urine VDBP levels remained elevated in the group developing renal injury, with values twofold above the normal range (P < 0.05), while serum creatinine and GF levels were within the physiological range in this group. Urinary VDBP in ADHF positively correlated with markers of renal injury such as cystatin C and Kidney Injury Molecule 1 (KIM-1). By ROC analysis, urinary VDBP, when added to cystatin C and KIM-1, improved the prediction of renal injury in patients with ADHF.ConclusionWe showed increased urine VDBP in patients with ADHF at hospital admission and a differential uVDBP evolution pattern at early stage of renal dysfunction, before pathological worsening of GFR is evidenced.

Abstract
Cardiovascular (CV) and renal diseases are increasingly prevalent in the United States and globally. CV-related mortality is the leading cause of death in the United States, while renal-related mortality is the 8th. Despite advanced therapeutics, both diseases persist, warranting continued exploration of disease mechanisms to develop novel therapeutics and advance clinical outcomes for cardio-renal health. CV and renal diseases increase with age, and there are sex differences evident in both the prevalence and progression of CV and renal disease. These age and sex differences seen in cardio-renal health implicate sex hormones as potentially important regulators to be studied. One such regulator is G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER1). GPER1 has been implicated in estrogen signaling and is expressed in a variety of tissues including the heart, vasculature, and kidney. GPER1 has been shown to be protective against CV and renal diseases in different experimental animal models. GPER1 actions involve multiple signaling pathways: interaction with aldosterone and endothelin-1 signaling, stimulation of the release of nitric oxide, and reduction in oxidative stress, inflammation, and immune infiltration. This review will discuss the current literature regarding GPER1 and cardio-renal health, particularly in the context of aging. Improving our understanding of GPER1-evoked mechanisms may reveal novel therapeutics aimed at improving cardio-renal health and clinical outcomes in the elderly.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most prevalent and complex clinical syndromes with high morbidity and mortality. The traditional diagnosis parameters are insufficient regarding specificity and sensitivity, and therefore, novel biomarkers and their facile and rapid applications are being sought to improve the diagnostic procedures. The biosensors, which are employed on the basis of electrochemistry, plasmonics, molecular probes, and nanoparticles, are the prominent ways of developing point-of-care devices, along with the mutual integration of efficient surface chemistry strategies. In this manner, biosensing platforms hold pivotal significance in detecting and quantifying novel AKI biomarkers to improve diagnostic interventions, potentially accelerating clinical management to control the injury in a timely manner. In this review, novel diagnostic platforms and their manufacturing processes are presented comprehensively. Furthermore, strategies to boost their effectiveness are also indicated with several applications. To maximize these efforts, we also review various biosensing approaches with a number of biorecognition elements (e.g., antibodies, aptamers, and molecular imprinting molecules), as well as benchmark their features such as robustness, stability, and specificity of these platforms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Information on older patients with hospital-acquired acute kidney injury (HA-AKI) and use of drugs is limited. AIM This study aimed to assess the clinical characteristics, drug uses, and in-hospital outcomes of hospitalized older patients with HA-AKI. METHODS Patients aged ≥65 years who were hospitalized in medical wards were retrospectively analyzed. The study patients were divided into the HA-AKI and non-AKI groups based on the changes in serum creatinine. Disease incidence, risk factors, drug uses, and in-hospital outcomes were compared between the groups. RESULTS Of 26,710 older patients in medical wards, 4,491 (16.8%) developed HA-AKI. Older patients with HA-AKI had higher rates of multiple comorbidities and Charlson Comorbidity Index score than those without AKI (p < 0.001). In the HA-AKI group, the proportion of patients with prior use of drugs with possible nephrotoxicity was higher than that of patients with prior use of drugs with identified nephrotoxicity (p < 0.05). The proportions of patients with critical illness, use of nephrotoxic drugs, and the requirements of intensive care unit treatment, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and dialysis as well as in-hospital mortality and hospitalization duration and costs were higher in the HA-AKI than the non-AKI group; these increased with HA-AKI severity (all p for trend <0.001). With the increase in the number of patients with continued use of drugs with possible nephrotoxicity after HA-AKI, the clinical outcomes showed a tendency to worsen (p < 0.001). Moreover, HA-AKI incidence (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 10.26; 95% confidence interval (CI), 8.27-12.74; p < 0.001), and nephrotoxic drugs exposure (adjusted OR, 1.76; 95% CI, 1.63-1.91; p < 0.001) had an association with an increased in-hospital mortality risk. CONCLUSION AKI incidence was high among hospitalized older patients. Older patients with HA-AKI had worse in-hospital outcomes and higher resource utilization. Nephrotoxic drug exposure and HA-AKI incidence were associated with an increased in-hospital mortality risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine epidemiology and outcomes of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and to assess if age modifies the effect of AKI on mortality. METHODS Using National (Nationwide) Inpatient Sample Database for hospitalizations in the USA from 2003 to 2014, we identified adult patients on ECMO support. Using International Classification of Diseases 9th Revision, we assessed the rates of AKI and AKI requiring dialysis (AKI-D) among them and associated survival. We used a multivariable logistic regression to identify risk factors of and differential effect of age on mortality from AKI. RESULTS AKI was seen in 63.9% of 17,942 ECMO hospitalizations: 21.9% of those with AKI required dialysis. The percentage of those with AKI increased steadily. Mortality was higher in those with AKI, with highest in those with AKI-D (70.8% vs. 61.7%; p < 0.001). While both age and AKI were independent predictors of mortality, age was neither a risk factor for AKI nor did it modify the effect of AKI on mortality. CONCLUSIONS AKI is common and is increasing among patients on ECMO support. Patients on ECMO have high mortality and AKI is an independent predictor of mortality. Though age is also an independent predictor of mortality in patients on ECMO, it is neither a predictor of AKI nor does not modify the relationship between AKI and mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heat waves are known to cause increased morbidity and mortality in susceptible populations like old and functionally impaired people. The objective of the study was to assess renal tubular stress, a predictor for development of acute kidney injury, during heat waves in Central Europe. As a marker of renal tubular stress tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 [TIMP-2]·insulin-like growth factor binding protein-7 [IGFBP7], a new FDA-cleared renal tubular stress biomarker, was used. MATERIALS AND METHODS 68 residents from facilities of sheltered housing with urine samples collected at heat waves in 2015 and at control visits were included. Urinary [TIMP-2]·[IGFBP7] was compared between the heat waves and the control visits. Multivariate linear models were adjusted for age, frailty index, and functional comorbidity index. RESULTS The median age was 82.0 years, 82.3% were women. The percentage of elevated levels of urinary [TIMP-2]·[IGFBP7] (>0.3 [ng/mL]2/1,000) in the total study population was higher at the heat waves than at the control visits (25.0% vs. 17.7%). The effect of the heat waves on urinary [TIMP-2]·[IGFBP7] was stronger in men than in women: The percentage of elevated levels was 75.0% in men and 14.3% in women. In the multivariate analysis, the mean urinary [TIMP-2]·[IGFBP7] was 0.48 (95% CI 0.25; 0.70) (ng/mL)2/1,000 higher in men than in women. Except gender, a number of additional variables did not show an association with urinary [TIMP-2]·[IGFBP7] at the heat waves or the control visits. CONCLUSIONS At heat waves, urinary [TIMP-2]·[IGFBP7] was elevated and higher in men than in women. This suggests gender-specific differences in renal heat tolerance in older people.

Acute kidney injury and in-hospital mortality in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction of different age groups. Int J Cardiol 2021; 344:8-12. [PMID: 34537309 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2021.09.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2021] [Revised: 08/25/2021] [Accepted: 09/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a well-known complication of ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) with an adverse impact on prognosis. Since AKI develops more frequently in elderly patients, we hypothesized that its higher incidence in older STEMI patients might explain their increased in-hospital mortality. We assessed the relationship between AKI and in-hospital mortality in patients with STEMI of different age groups. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 5136 STEMI patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). We defined AKI as ≥0.5 mg/dl creatinine increase in the first 72 h. Patients were grouped according to age (<75 [n = 4040] or ≥ 75 [n = 1096] years). The primary endpoint was in-hospital mortality. RESULTS The incidence of AKI was 7%. It was 4.6% in patients <75 years and 15.1% in those ≥75 years (P < 0.0001). The overall in-hospital mortality was 4%. It was 2.6% and 8.5% in patients younger and older than 75 years, respectively (P < 0.0001). It was higher in AKI than in non-AKI patients, both in the overall population (27% vs. 2%) and in the two age groups (25% vs. 2% and 29% vs. 5% in younger and older patients, respectively; P < 0.0001). The adjusted odds ratio of in-hospital mortality associated with AKI progressively decreased in parallel with increasing age decades (from 24.7 [95% CI 11.2-54.1] in patients <65 years to 3.9 [95% CI 1.6-9.7] in those >85 years). CONCLUSIONS In STEMI patients treated with pPCI, AKI incidence and in-hospital mortality steadily increase with age. However, the prognostic impact of AKI is progressively reduced as age increases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few data is available on the risk/benefit balance of native kidney biopsy (KB) in very elderly patients. METHODS Multicenter retrospective cohort study in the Aix-Marseille area: the results of KB and medical charts of all patients over 85 years biopsied between January 2010 and December 2018 were reviewed. RESULTS 104 patients were included. Median age was 87 years. Indications for KB were: acute kidney injury (AKI) in 69.2% of patients, nephrotic syndrome (NS) with AKI in 13.5%, NS without AKI in 12.5%, and proteinuria in 4.8%. Median serum creatinine was 262 μmol/L, 21% of patients required dialysis at the time of KB. Significant bleeding occurred in 7 (6.7%) patients, requiring blood cell transfusion in 4 (3.8%), and radiological embolization in 1 (1%). The most frequent pathological diagnoses were: non-diabetic glomerular diseases (29.8%, including pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis in 9.6%), hypertensive nephropathy (27.9%), acute interstitial nephritis (16.3%), renal involvement of hematological malignancy (8.7%), and acute tubular necrosis (6.7%). After KB, 51 (49%) patients received a specific treatment: corticosteroids (41.3%), cyclophosphamide (6.7%), rituximab (6.7%), bortezomib (3.8%), other chemotherapies (3.8%). Median overall survival was 31 months. CONCLUSIONS KB can reveal a diagnosis with therapeutic impact even in very elderly patients. Severe bleeding was not frequent in this cohort, but KB may have not been performed in more vulnerable patients.

Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors and major cardiovascular events and acute kidney injury in patients with coronary artery disease. Pharmacotherapy 2021; 41:988-997. [PMID: 34496067 DOI: 10.1002/phar.2624] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2021] [Revised: 07/11/2021] [Accepted: 07/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASIs) are recommended for most patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, there is debate across guidelines as to which patients with CAD benefit the most from these agents. This study investigated the association between RAASIs and cardiovascular outcomes and acute kidney injury in a contemporary cohort of patients with CAD. METHODS Patients ≥65 years of age with CAD alive on April 1, 2012 in Ontario, Canada were included. Outcomes included major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE: cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction (MI), unstable angina, stroke, or coronary revascularization), and acute kidney injury (AKI) hospitalizations at 4 years. Inverse probability of treatment-weighted Cox proportional hazards regression models was used to compare the rates of each outcome in patients treated with and without RAASIs (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers). RESULTS There were 165,058 patients with CAD identified (mean age 75 years, 65.5% male, 64.7% prescribed RAASIs). After inverse-probability weighting, treatment with RAASIs was associated with a lower rate of MACE compared with treatment without RAASIs (17.6% vs 18.2%, hazard ratio [HR]: 0.96, 95% CI: 0.93-0.99, respectively). However, treatment with RAASIs was associated with a higher rate of AKI compared with treatment without RAASIs (1.7% vs 1.5%, HR: 1.14, 95% CI: 1.02-1.29, respectively). The reduction in MACE was greater in patients with prior MI (HR: 0.87, 95% CI: 0.82-0.92) compared with patients without prior MI (HR: 1.00, 95% CI: 0.97-1.04, interaction p < 0.01). The increase in AKI was lower in patients with prior MI (HR: 0.82, 95% CI: 0.66-1.00) compared with patients without prior MI (HR: 1.37, 95% CI: 1.19-1.57, interaction p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS This study supports the continued use of RAASIs in patients with CAD, although the benefit appears smaller in magnitude than observed in prior trials. High-risk patients, particularly those with prior MI, appear to benefit the most from RAASIs.

Utility of suPAR and NGAL for AKI Risk Stratification and Early Optimization of Renal Risk Medications among Older Patients in the Emergency Department. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2021; 14:843. [PMID: 34577543 PMCID: PMC8471084 DOI: 10.3390/ph14090843] [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: 07/05/2021] [Revised: 08/23/2021] [Accepted: 08/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) based on plasma creatinine often lags behind actual changes in renal function. Here, we investigated early detection of AKI using the plasma soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) and neutrophil gelatinase-sssociated lipocalin (NGAL) and observed the impact of early detection on prescribing recommendations for renally-eliminated medications. This study is a secondary analysis of data from the DISABLMENT cohort on acutely admitted older (≥65 years) medical patients (n = 339). Presence of AKI according to kidney disease: improving global outcomes (KDIGO) criteria was identified from inclusion to 48 h after inclusion. Discriminatory power of suPAR and NGAL was determined by receiver-operating characteristic (ROC). Selected medications that are contraindicated in AKI were identified in Renbase®. A total of 33 (9.7%) patients developed AKI. Discriminatory power for suPAR and NGAL was 0.69 and 0.78, respectively, at a cutoff of 4.26 ng/mL and 139.5 ng/mL, respectively. The interaction of suPAR and NGAL yielded a discriminatory power of 0.80, which was significantly higher than for suPAR alone (p = 0.0059). Among patients with AKI, 22 (60.6%) used at least one medication that should be avoided in AKI. Overall, suPAR and NGAL levels were independently associated with incident AKI and their combination yielded excellent discriminatory power for risk determination of AKI.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2021; 8:639250. [PMID: 34368176 PMCID: PMC8339321 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2021.639250] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2020] [Accepted: 05/10/2021] [Indexed: 01/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Previous systematic reviews and meta-analyses supported the relationship between frailty and risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) in elderly patients. However, few studies evaluated proactive management to wear down AKI risk in such frail populations. Purpose: To understand how AKI risk factors might influence each other and to identify the source factors for clinical decision aids. Methods: This study uses the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method to establish influential network-relationship diagrams (INRDs) to form the AKI risk assessment model for the elderly. Results: Based on the DEMATEL approach, the results of INRD identified the six key risk factors: comorbidity, malignancy, diabetes, creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and nutritional assessment. (The statistical significance confidence is 98.423%, which is higher than 95%; the gap error is 1.577%, which is lower than 5%). After considering COVID-19 as an additional risk factor in comorbidity, the INRD revealed a similar influential relationship among the essential aspects. Conclusion: While evaluating the geriatric population, physicians need to pay attention to patients' comorbidities and nutritional assessment; also, they should note patients' creatinine values and glomerular filtration rate. Physicians could establish a preliminary observation index and then design a series of preventive guidelines to reduce the incidence of AKI risk for the elderly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The global incidence of dengue has increased with the ageing population. We examined the prevalence, clinical manifestations and risk factors associated with dengue severity among older patients. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted at a hospital in Thailand from 2013 to 2018. Data were collected from patient records. Older patients were those aged ≥60 y, whereas adult patients were aged at least 18 y but younger than 60 y. RESULTS In total, 1822 patients were included in the study. The prevalence of older dengue was 7.96%. Older dengue patients were at a higher risk of developing dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) than adult dengue patients (40.69% vs 30.71%). Haematuria was significantly more frequent in older patients (24.82% vs 3.58%), whereas other clinical manifestations had similar frequencies between the groups. Multivariate logistic regression indicated that hypertension (adjusted OR [aOR]=3.549, 95% CI 1.498 to 8.407) and abdominal pain (aOR=10.904, 95% CI 1.037 to 114.710) were significantly associated with DHF among older patients. CONCLUSIONS Dengue is common in older adults, who also have a higher incidence of developing DHF. Older patients with dengue and comorbid hypertension and abdominal pain should be monitored for their increasing risk of DHF.

Abstract
Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is a common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in the aging population. A reduction of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) production in the old kidney and renal IRI contribute to renal pathology and injury. Recent studies suggest that microRNAs (miRs) play an important role in the pathophysiology of AKI and a significant crosstalk exists between H2S and miRs. Among the miRs, miR-21 is highly expressed in AKI and is reported to have both pathological and protective role. In the present study, we sought to determine the effects of age-induced reduction in H2S and mir-21 antagonism in AKI. Wild type (WT, C57BL/6J) mice aged 12-14 weeks and 75-78 weeks underwent bilateral renal ischemia (27 min) and reperfusion for 7 days and were treated with H2S donor, GYY4137 (GYY, 0.25 mg/kg/day, ip) or locked nucleic acid anti-miR-21 (20 mg/kg b.w., ip) for 7 days. Following IRI, old kidney showed increased macrophage polarization toward M1 inflammatory phenotype, cytokine upregulation, endothelial-mesenchymal transition, and fibrosis compared to young kidney. Treatment with GYY or anti-miR-21 reversed the changes and improved renal vascular density, blood flow, and renal function in the old kidney. Anti-miR-21 treatment in mouse glomerular endothelial cells showed upregulation of H2S-producing enzymes, cystathionine β-synthase (CBS), and cystathionineγ-lyase (CSE), and reduction of matrix metalloproteinase-9 and collagen IV expression. In conclusion, exogenous H2S and inhibition of miR-21 rescued the old kidney dysfunction due to IRI by increasing H2S levels, reduction of macrophage-mediated injury, and promoting reparative process suggesting a viable approach for aged patients sustaining AKI.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a growing problem among aging population, and the number of individuals at risk of end stage renal disease is rising. Part of the reason lies in incomplete understanding of the pathways underlying renal aging and kidney disease, as well as insufficient delivery of evidence-based treatment to elderly patients with CKD. This review aims to address these unsolved issues by delineating updated mechanisms of renal senescence and summarizing recent findings on key clinical aspects of CKD in the elderly. Challenges and obstacles in caring for older people with CKD are discussed, with an emphasis on modification of risk factors, prevention of acute kidney injury, stabilization of progression and decision on dialysis initiation.

Abstract
Background Polytrauma can lead to multi-organ dysfunction in addition to the local injuries. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common causes and contributors to the high morbidity and mortality. Prevalence of acute kidney injury in trauma patients is as reported to be as high as 40.3%. Early detection and management leads to better outcomes. The prevalence of AKI among polytrauma patients remains unknown in our setting. Methodology A cross-sectional study involving all adults with polytrauma who presented at the emergency department at Muhimbili Orthopedic Institute (MOI) was designed. A score of ≥18 on the New Injury Severity Score (NISS) screening tool was used to identify polytrauma patients. The Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria was used to identify patient with polytrauma who developed acute kidney injury. Descriptive statistics were then obtained followed by hypothesis testing between variables with the chi squared test. Logistic regression models were used to determine factors associated with acute kidney injury. Results More than half (56.4%) of the patients were between 26 and 40 years and 92.3% of the polytrauma patients were males. Almost 2/5th (38.5%) of the polytrauma patients had acute kidney injury – half of these had stage 1 AKI, 33.3% had stage 2 AKI and the remaining 16.7% had stage 3 AKI. On multivariate logistic regression, it was found that patients who were older than 45 years (OR 8.53, CI 1.65–43.89, p = 0.01) and those patients with Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) (OR 21.83, CI 1.66–286.2, p = 0.019) had higher risk of acute kidney injury. Conclusion There is high prevalence of AKI among polytrauma patients. Elderly patients and those with SIRS were seen to have higher likelihood of AKI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The epidemic of COVID-19 presents a special threat to older adults. However, information on kidney damage in older patients with COVID-19 is limited. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in hospitalized adults and associated with poor prognosis. We sought to explore the association between AKI and mortality in older patients with COVID-19. METHODS We conducted a retrospective, observational cohort study in a large tertiary care university hospital in Wuhan, China. All consecutive inpatients older than 65 years with COVID-19 were enrolled in this cohort. Demographic data, laboratory values, comorbidities, treatments, and clinical outcomes were all collected. Data were compared between patients with AKI and without AKI. The association between AKI and mortality was analyzed. RESULTS Of 1764 in-hospital patients, 882 older adult cases were included in this cohort. The median age was 71 years (interquartile range: 68-77), 440 (49.9%) were men. The most presented comorbidity was cardiovascular diseases (58.2%), followed by diabetes (31.4%). Of 882 older patients, 115 (13%) developed AKI and 128 (14.5%) died. Patients with AKI had higher mortality than those without AKI (68 [59.1%] vs 60 [7.8%]; p < .001). Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that increasing odds of in-hospital mortality are associated with higher interleukin-6 on admission, myocardial injury, and AKI. CONCLUSIONS Acute kidney injury is not an uncommon complication in older patients with COVID-19 but is associated with a high risk of death. Physicians should be aware of the risk of AKI in older patients with COVID-19.

Abstract
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is an often neglected but crucial element of clinical nephrology. The aim of the Nephrology Public Policy Committee (NPPC) of the European Renal Association - European Dialysis and Transplant Association (ERA-EDTA) is to promote several key aspects of European nephrology. One of the targets proposed by NPPC was to advance European nephrology involvement in AKI. We undertook literature analyses to define the current position of European nephrology in the field of AKI compared to other regions, and about how different European countries compare to each other. It appeared that vis-à-vis countries with a comparable socio-economic status (the US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada), the European contribution was almost 50% lower. Within Europe, Central/Eastern Europe and countries with a lower gross domestic product (GDP) showed lower scientific output. Nephrologists contributed to less than half of the output. There was no trend for a change over the last decade. It is concluded that there is room to improve the contribution of European nephrology in the field of AKI. We propose a model on how to promote clinical collaboration on AKI across Europe, the creation of a pan-European nephrology network of interested units is proposed, to improve clinical outcomes, increase nephrologist involvement and awareness outside nephrology, and stimulate research on AKI in Europe. Accordingly, we also propose a list of research priorities and stress the need for more European funding of AKI research.

Abstract
Older patients experience a decline in their physiologic reserves as well as chronic low-grade inflammation named "inflammaging." Both of these contribute significantly to aging-related factors that alter the acute, subacute, and chronic response of these patients to critical illness, such as sepsis. Unfortunately, this altered response to stressors can lead to chronic critical illness followed by dismal outcomes and death. The primary goal of this review is to briefly highlight age-specific changes in physiologic systems majorly affected in critical illness, especially because it pertains to sepsis and trauma, which can lead to chronic critical illness and describe implications in clinical management.

Abstract
Background The effect of fluid balance on outcomes in elderly patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring continuous renal-replacement therapy (CRRT) is not explained well. We investigated outcomes according to cumulative fluid balance (CFB) in elderly patients with AKI undergoing CRRT. Methods A total of 607 patients aged 65 years or older who started CRRT due to AKI were enrolled and stratified into two groups (fluid overload [FO] vs. no fluid overload [NFO]) based on the median CFB value for 72 hours before CRRT initiation. Propensity score-matching analysis was performed. Results The median age of included patients was 73.0 years and 60.0% of the population was male. The median 72-hour CFB value was 2,839.0 mL. The overall cumulative survival and 28-day survival rates were lower in the FO group than in the NFO group (P < 0.001 for both) and remained so after propensity score-matching. Furthermore, patients in the FO group demonstrated a higher overall mortality risk after adjustment for age, sex, systolic blood pressure, Charlson comorbidity index, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, serum albumin, creatinine, diuretic use, and mechanical ventilation status (hazard ratio, 1.38; 95% confidence interval, 1.13 to 1.89; P < 0.001). Among survivors, both the duration of CRRT and the total duration of hospitalization from CRRT initiation showed no difference between the FO and NFO groups. Conclusion A higher CFB value is associated with an increased risk of mortality in elderly patients with AKI requiring CRRT.

Abstract
Background: Minimal change nephropathy (MCD) is a common pathological type of nephrotic syndrome and is often associated with acute kidney injury (AKI). This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and related factors of AKI in patients with MCD and nephrotic syndrome. Methods: Patients from Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital who were diagnosed with pathological renal MCD with clinical manifestations of nephrotic syndrome were included from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2017. Patients diagnosed with membranous nephropathy (MN) by renal biopsy from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2017 are included as a control population. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and pathological characteristics of patients as well as the percentages and clinical characteristics of AKI in different age groups. We assessed the correlation of pathological characteristics with serum creatinine using multivariate linear regression analysis. Results: A total of 367 patients with MCD were included in the analysis, with a sex ratio of 1.46: 1 (male: female) and an age range of 6 to 77 years. Among all the patients, 109 developed AKI (29.7%), and of these patients, 85 were male (78.0%). In the 586 patients with MN, 27 (4.6%) patients developed AKI. The percentage of AKI in MCD patients was significantly higher than that in MN patients (χ2 = 41.063, P < 0.001). The percentage of AKI increased with age in the MCD patients. The percentage of AKI in patients aged 50 years or older was 52.9% (46/87), which was significantly higher than that [22.5% (63/280)] in patients under 50 years (χ2 = 6.347, P = 0.013). We observed statistically significant differences in age (43 [27, 59] years vs. 28 [20, 44] years, Z = 5.487, P < 0.001), male (78.0% vs. 51.4%, χ2 = 22.470, P < 0.001), serum albumin (19.9 ± 6.1 g/L vs. 21.5 ± 5.7 g/L, t = 2.376, P = 0.018), serum creatinine (129.5 [105.7, 171.1] μmol/L vs. 69.7 [57.7, 81.9] μmol/L, Z = 14.190, P < 0.001), serum urea (10.1 [6.2, 15.8] mmol/L vs. 4.7 [3.6, 6.4] mmol/L, Z = 10.545, P < 0.001), IgE (266.0 [86.7, 963.0] IU/ml vs. 142.0 [35.3, 516.5] IU/ml, Z = 2.742, P = 0.007), history of diabetes (6.4% vs. 1.2%, P = 0.009), and history of hypertension (23.9% vs. 5.1%, χ2 = 28.238, P < 0.001) between the AKI group and the non-AKI group. According to multivariate linear regression analysis, among the renal pathological features analyzed, renal tubular epithelial cell damage (β = 178.010, 95% CI: 147.888−208.132, P < 0.001) and renal interstitial edema (β = 28.833, 95% CI: 11.966−45.700, P = 0.001) correlated with serum creatinine values. Conclusions: The percentage of AKI in MCD patients is significantly higher than that in MN patients. Patients over 50 years old are more likely to develop AKI. Renal tubular epithelial cell injury and renal interstitial edema may be the main pathological lesions that are associated with elevated serum creatinine in patients with MCD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current management of AKI, a potentially fatal disorder that can also initiate or exacerbate CKD, is merely supportive. Therefore, deeper understanding of the molecular pathways perturbed in AKI is needed to identify targets with potential to lead to improved treatment. METHODS We performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) with the clinically relevant unilateral ischemia-reperfusion murine model of AKI at days 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, and 14 after AKI onset. Using real-time quantitative PCR, immunofluorescence, Western blotting, and both chromogenic and single-molecule in situ hybridizations, we validated AKI signatures in multiple experiments. RESULTS Our findings show the time course of changing gene expression patterns for multiple AKI stages and all renal cell types. We observed elevated expression of crucial injury response factors-including kidney injury molecule-1 (Kim1), lipocalin 2 (Lcn2), and keratin 8 (Krt8)-and of several novel genes (Ahnak, Sh3bgrl3, and Col18a1) not previously examined in kidney pathologies. AKI induced proximal tubule dedifferentiation, with a pronounced nephrogenic signature represented by Sox4 and Cd24a. Moreover, AKI caused the formation of "mixed-identity cells" (expressing markers of different renal cell types) that are normally seen only during early kidney development. The injured tubules acquired a proinflammatory and profibrotic phenotype; moreover, AKI dramatically modified ligand-receptor crosstalk, with potential pathologic epithelial-to-stromal interactions. Advancing age in AKI onset was associated with maladaptive response and kidney fibrosis. CONCLUSIONS The scRNA-seq, comprehensive, cell-specific profiles provide a valuable resource for examining molecular pathways that are perturbed in AKI. The results fully define AKI-associated dedifferentiation programs, potential pathologic ligand-receptor crosstalk, novel genes, and the improved injury response in younger mice, and highlight potential targets of kidney injury.

Abstract
Background The C-reactive protein (CRP)/albumin ratio is a useful index used to represent patient inflammation and nutritional status. Elderly patients are at the highest risk for acute kidney injury (AKI). We clarified the impact of the preoperative CRP/albumin ratio on AKI and evaluated the impact of postoperative AKI on end-stage renal disease (ESRD) among elderly cystectomy patients. Methods We included elderly patients ≥ 65 years of age who underwent radical cystectomy. Multivariate logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis were performed to identify risk factors for AKI. Propensity score-matched analysis and conditional logistic regression analysis were performed to elucidate the impact of the CRP/albumin ratio on AKI. The incidence of ESRD was compared between the non-AKI and AKI groups at 12 months after radical cystectomy. Results AKI occurred in 110 patients (32.2%). The CRP/albumin ratio and 6% hydroxyethyl starch amount were risk factors for postoperative AKI. The optimal cut-off value for the CRP/albumin ratio predicting AKI was 0.1. After propensity score matching, the AKI incidence in the CRP/albumin ratio ≥ 0.1 group was higher than that in the CRP/albumin ratio < 0.1 group (46.7% vs. 20.6%, P < 0.001), and a CRP/albumin ratio ≥ 0.1 was associated with a higher AKI incidence (odds ratio = 4.111, P < 0.001). The ESRD incidence was higher in the AKI group than in the non-AKI group (7.3% vs. 1.2%, P = 0.017). Conclusion A CRP/albumin ratio ≥ 0.1 was associated with an increased incidence of AKI, which was associated with higher ESRD incidence among elderly cystectomy patients.

Abstract
Objectives We explored the risk factors for, and the clinical characteristics of, acute kidney injury (AKI), and the causes of death 28 days after such injury, in very elderly men. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study using data from the Geriatric Department of the Chinese PLA General Hospital. A total of 3464 elderly patients (≥ 75 years) were enrolled from January 2007 to December 2015. All patients were followed for 28 days or until death after AKI. Results In total, 668 patients (39.0%) developed AKI, and 623 men were included for the final analysis. The median age was 87 years. The 28-day mortality rate was 25.7%. The AKI etiologies were infections (39.6%), hypovolemia (23.8%), cardiovascular events (15.9%), nephrotoxicity (12.0%), and surgery (7.1%). Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (46.4%) and pulmonary infection (22.5%) were the principal causes of death. Multivariate analysis revealed that time for AKI to develop (HR = 0.865; 95% CI 0.799–0.937; P < 0.001), low mean arterial pressure (HR = 0.970; 95% CI 0.958–0.981; P < 0.001), low serum prealbumin (HR = 0.924; 95% CI 0.894–0.955; P < 0.001) level, oliguria (HR = 2.261; 95% CI 1.424–3.590; P = 0.001), mechanical ventilation (HR = 1.492; 95% CI 1.047–2.124; P = 0.027), blood urea nitrogen (HR = 1.037; 95% CI 1.025–1.049; P < 0.001) level, magnesium (HR = 2.512; 95% CI 1.243–5.076; P = 0.010) level, and more severe AKI stages (stage 2: HR = 3.709; 95% CI 1.926–7.141; P < 0.001 and stage 3: HR = 5.660; 95% CI 2.990–10.717; P < 0.001) were independent risk factors for 28-day mortality. Conclusions The incidence of AKI increases significantly as age advanced. Identification of risk factors might lead to more intensive monitoring and early prevention, and might improve AKI patients’ outcomes in the very elderly.

Abstract
Cellular senescence refers to a cellular phenotype characterized by an altered transcriptome, pro-inflammatory secretome, and generally irreversible growth arrest. Acutely senescent cells are widely recognized as performing key physiological functions in vivo promoting normal organogenesis, successful wound repair, and cancer defense. In contrast, the accumulation of chronically senescent cells in response to aging, cell stress, genotoxic damage, and other injurious stimuli is increasingly recognized as an important contributor to organ dysfunction, tissue fibrosis, and the more generalized aging phenotype. In this review, we summarize our current knowledge of the role of senescent cells in promoting progressive fibrosis and dysfunction with a particular focus on the kidney and reference to other organ systems. Specific differences between healthy and senescent cells are reviewed along with a summary of several experimental pharmacological approaches to deplete or manipulate senescent cells to preserve organ integrity and function with aging and after injury. Finally, key questions for future research and clinical translation are discussed.

Acute Kidney Injury Outcomes of Elderly and Nonelderly Patients in the Medical Intensive Care Unit of a University Hospital in a Developing Country. Crit Care Res Pract 2020; 2020:2391683. [PMID: 32399291 PMCID: PMC7204352 DOI: 10.1155/2020/2391683] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2019] [Revised: 12/30/2019] [Accepted: 01/11/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Aging is associated with a high risk of acute kidney injury (AKI), and the elderly with AKI show a higher mortality rate than those without AKI. In this study, we compared AKI outcomes between elderly and nonelderly patients in a university hospital in a developing country. Materials and Methods This retrospective cohort study included patients with AKI who were admitted to the medical intensive care unit (ICU) between January 1, 2012, and December 31, 2017. The patients were divided into the elderly (eAKI; age ≥65 years; n = 158) and nonelderly (nAKI; n = 142) groups. Baseline characteristics, comorbidities, principle diagnosis, renal replacement therapy (RRT) requirement, hospital course, and in-hospital mortality were recorded. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Results The eAKI group included more females, patients with higher Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II scores, and patients with more comorbidities than the nAKI group. The etiology and staging of AKI were similar between the two groups. There were no significant differences in in-hospital mortality (p=0.338) and RRT requirement (p=0.802) between the two groups. After adjusting for covariates, the 28-day mortality rate was similar between the two groups (p=0.654), but the 28-day RRT requirement was higher in the eAKI group than in the nAKI group (p=0.042). Conclusion Elderly and nonelderly ICU patients showed similar survival outcomes of AKI, although the elderly were at a higher risk of requiring RRT.

Abstract
Aim: The objective of this study was to assess whether an elderly patient's frailty was associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) and to examine whether severe frailty group had an increased risk of AKI than mild-moderate group.Methods: We searched The Cochrane Library, PubMed, and EMBASE for relevant studies without language limitations before 1 March 2019 with a priori defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Five population-based cohort studies were included for systematic review and meta-analysis.Results: Compared with the control group, the frailty group is significantly associated AKI (Odds Ratio = 2.05; 95% CI: 1.23-3.43). The moderate-severe frailty group has an increased risk of AKI than mild frailty group (Hazard Ratio = 2.87; 95% CI: 1.60-5.17.Conclusion: In conclusion, the available best evidence support an association between frailty and AKI among elder patients, thus relevant interventions should be taken among elderly under potential risk of AKI.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to compare clinical characteristics and outcomes in individuals of different age groups with urinary tract infection (UTI), and to identify the relationships among advanced age and uroseptic shock. Methods This retrospective study compared clinical characteristics and outcomes in patients in different age groups with UTI and identified relationships between advanced age and uroseptic shock among hospitalized patients with UTI in an acute hospital care setting from January 2006 to October 2018. Patients were divided into young (age below 65 years), old (65–80 years), and very old (above 80 years) groups. Results Of 1,043 participants, 269 (25.8%) were very old and 200 (19.2%) developed uroseptic shock. Very old age [odds ratio (OR) 1.99, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.25–3.19, P=0.004], male (OR 1.54, 95% CI: 1.07–2.24, P=0.022), presented flank pain (OR 1.54, 95% CI: 1.05–2.24, P=0.025), congestive heart failure (CHF) (OR 2.54, 95% CI: 1.27–5.06, P=0.008), acute kidney injury (AKI) (OR 4.19, 95% CI: 2.78–6.30, P<0.001), bacteremia (OR 1.78, 95% CI: 1.25–2.53, P=0.001), and multiple drug-resistant (MDR) bacteria (OR 1.43, 95% CI: 1.02–2.00, P=0.039) were associated with an increased risk of uroseptic shock in patients with UTI. In very old patients with UTI, bacteremia (OR 2.54, 95% CI: 1.38–4.69, P=0.003) and AKI (OR 4.37, 95% CI: 2.15–8.90, P<0.001) were independently associated with uroseptic shock. Conclusions Very old patients with UTI had a higher risk of developing uroseptic shock than younger patients. Bacteremia was an independent risk factor for uroseptic shock in very old patients with UTI.
