Integrated Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Renal Parenchymal Volume for Early Detection and Grading of Split Renal Functional Impairment in Lupus Nephritis. Acad Radiol 2024; 31:2827-2837. [PMID: 38228455 DOI: 10.1016/j.acra.2023.12.046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 12/30/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2024]
Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES To investigate the effectiveness of combining split diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) measurements with split renal parenchymal volume (RPV) for assessing split renal functional impairment in patients with lupus nephritis (LN). MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-four participants [48 LN patients and 26 healthy volunteers (HV)] were included in the study. All participant underwent conventional MR and DTI (b = 0, 400, and 600 s/mm2) examinations using a 3.0 T MRI scanner to determine the split renal DTI measurements and split RPV. In LN patients, renography glomerular filtration rate (rGFR) was measured using 99mTc-DTPA scintigraphy based on Gates' method, serving as the reference standard to categorize all split kidneys of LN patients into LN with mild impairment (LNm, n = 65 kidneys) and LN with moderate to severe (LNms, n = 31 kidneys) groups according to the threshold of 30 ml/min in spilt rGFR. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 25.0 and MedCalc 20.0 software packages. RESULTS Only split medullary fractional anisotropy (FA) and the product of split medullary FA and RPV could distinguish pairwise subgroups among the HV and each LN subgroup (all p < 0.05). ROC curve analysis demonstrated that split medullary FA (AUC = 0.866) significantly outperformed other parameters in differentiating HV from LNm groups, while the product of split medullary FA and split RPV was superior in distinguishing LNm and LNms groups (AUC = 0.793) than other parameters. The combination of split medullary FA and split RPV showed best correlation with split rGFR (r = 0.534, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Split medullary FA, and its combination with split RPV, are valuable biomarkers for detecting early functional changes in renal alterations and predicting disease progression in patients with LN.

Abstract
Complex molecular cell dynamics in acute kidney injury and its heterogeneous etiologies in patient populations in clinical settings have revealed the potential advantages and disadvantages of emerging novel damage biomarkers. Imaging techniques have been developed over the past decade to further our understanding about diseased organs, including the kidneys. Understanding the compositional, structural, and functional changes in damaged kidneys via several imaging modalities would enable a more comprehensive analysis of acute kidney injury, including its risks, diagnosis, and prognosis. This review summarizes recent imaging studies for acute kidney injury and discusses their potential utility in clinical settings.

Pediatr Nephrol 2021; 36:1299-1306. [PMID: 33161460 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-020-04820-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2020] [Revised: 09/30/2020] [Accepted: 10/12/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Children with kidney insufficiency are susceptible to vancomycin-induced acute kidney injury (VIAKI), but there is a lack of compelling clinical data. We conducted a nested case-control study to evaluate the relationship between kidney insufficiency and incidence of VIAKI in children. METHODS Patients were considered to have VIAKI if they met the criteria for eGFR change according to pRIFLE-I or p-RIFLE-F. Case group comprised patients who developed VIAKI. Case-control ratio was 1:3; patients were matched for age, severity, and nature of illness and initial vancomycin dose. Primary endpoint was incidence of VIAKI at three levels of kidney function, calculated using Kaplan-Meier curve and log-rank test. Secondary endpoint was treatment-related in-hospital mortality amongst case and control groups. RESULTS Amongst 386 children who fit study criteria, 31 developed VIAKI (8.03%). Thirty-one cases and 93 controls were selected from the observed cohort. Three risk factors were identified for VIAKI: moderate kidney insufficiency (OR 8.8, 2.4-32.8), vancomycin trough concentration ≥ 15 μg/mL (OR 7.7, 1.7-34.4), and furosemide use (OR 24.8, 6.4-98.2). A significant difference in time to VIAKI was noted between patients with moderate kidney insufficiency and patients with mild kidney insufficiency or normal kidney function (p < 0.001). In-hospital mortality rate in case group was 45.2%, compared to 18.3% in control group (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Children with moderate kidney insufficiency are more likely to develop VIAKI than those with normal and mild kidney insufficiency. Patients who develop VIAKI have higher in-hospital mortality than those who do not develop VIAKI.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize current antibiotic dosing recommendations in critically ill patients receiving intermittent hemodialysis (IHD), prolonged intermittent renal replacement therapy (PIRRT), and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), including considerations for individualizing therapy. Data Sources: A literature search of PubMed from January 2008 to May 2019 was performed to identify English-language literature in which dosing recommendations were proposed for antibiotics commonly used in critically ill patients receiving IHD, PIRRT, or CRRT. Study Selection and Data Extraction: All pertinent reviews, selected studies, and references were evaluated to ensure appropriateness for inclusion. Data Synthesis: Updated empirical dosing considerations are proposed for antibiotics in critically ill patients receiving IHD, PIRRT, and CRRT with recommendations for individualizing therapy. Relevance to Patient Care and Clinical Practice: This review defines principles for assessing renal function, identifies RRT system properties affecting drug clearance and drug properties affecting clearance during RRT, outlines pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic dosing considerations, reviews pertinent updates in the literature, develops updated empirical dosing recommendations, and highlights important factors for individualizing therapy in critically ill patients. Conclusions: Appropriate antimicrobial selection and dosing are vital to improve clinical outcomes. Dosing recommendations should be applied cautiously with efforts to consider local epidemiology and resistance patterns, antibiotic dosing and infusion strategies, renal replacement modalities, patient-specific considerations, severity of illness, residual renal function, comorbidities, and patient response to therapy. Recommendations provided herein are intended to serve as a guide in developing and revising therapy plans individualized to meet a patient's needs.

Creatinine-Based Renal Function Estimates and Dosage of Postoperative Pain Management for Elderly Acute Hip Fracture Patients. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2018; 11:E88.

Abstract
Many analgesics and their metabolites are renally excreted. The widely used Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI)-estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equations are not developed for use in the elderly, while the recent Berlin Initiative Study (BIS), Full Age Spectrum (FAS), and Lund-Malmö revised (LMR) equations are. This observational study investigated differences between creatinine-based eGFR equations and how the choice of equation influences dosage of analgesics in elderly (≥70 years) patients admitted with acute hip fracture. eGFR was calculated by the CKD-EPI, BIS, Cockcroft-Gault (CG), FAS, LMR, and Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equations. Standard daily dose for postoperative pain medications ibuprofen, morphine and gabapentin was simulated for each equation according to dosage recommendations in Renbase®. For 118 patients, mean eGFR from the CKD-EPI, BIS, CG, FAS, LMR, and MDRD equations was 67.3 mL/min/1.73 m², 59.1 mL/min/1.73 m², 56.9 mL/min/1.73 m², 60.3 mL/min/1.73 m², 58.9 mL/min/1.73 m², and 79.1 mL/min/1.73 m², respectively (p < 0.0001). Mean difference to CKD-EPI was -10.4 mL/min/1.73 m² to 11.8 mL/min/1.73 m². Choice of eGFR equation significantly influenced the recommended dose (p < 0.0001). Shifting to BIS, FAS, or LMR equations led to a lower recommended dose in 20% to 31% of patients. Choice of eGFR equation significantly influenced dosing of ibuprofen, morphine, and gabapentin.

Abstract
Vancomycin, a glycopeptide antibiotic for the treatment of grampositive infections, is mainly eliminated via glomerular filtration. Thus, its therapeutic effects are affected predominantly by renal function. The aim of this study was to develop a population pharmacokinetic model of vancomycin for Chinese adult patients and to investigate the influence of different renal function descriptors on the predictability of the model. A retrospective analysis was performed based on the blood concentrations of vancomycin in 218 Chinese adult patients. Among these patients, the data from 160 were used to establish the population pharmacokinetic model, and the data from the remaining 58 patients were used for external model validation. A simulation was employed to determine the appropriate initial vancomycin dosage regimens in adult Chinese patients for reaching the target steady-state trough concentrations of 10-15 mg/L and 15-20 mg/L. We developed a one-compartment model with first-order absorption to characterize the concentration-time profile of vancomycin. There was a positive correlation between the body clearance of vancomycin and renal function; both creatinine clearance (CLCr) and age were the covariates that influenced the PK of vancomycin, and the excretion of vancomycin decreased as renal function diminishing with age. The typical clearance (CL) value was 2.829 L/h for 75-year-old patients with CLCr values of 80 mL/min, and the rate constant of CL with the CLCr changing at 1 mL/min was 0.00842. The influence coefficient of age on CL was 0.08143. The external validation results revealed that the current different descriptors of renal function behaved similarly to the predicted performance of the models. In conclusion, the developed model is appropriate for Bayesian dose predictions of vancomycin concentrations in the population of Chinese adult patients. Furthermore, the simulation provides a reference for clinical optimized antibacterial therapy with vancomycin.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) has a high incidence on intensive care units around the world and is a major complication in critically ill patients suffering from sepsis or septic shock. The short- and long-term complications are thereby devastating and impair the quality of life. Especially in terms of AKI staging, the determination of kidney function and the timing of dialytic AKI management outside of life-threatening indications are ongoing matters of debate. Despite several studies, a major problem remains in distinguishing between beneficial and unnecessary "early" or even harmful renal replacement therapy (RRT). The latter might prolong disease course and renal recovery. AKI scores, however, provide an insufficient outcome-predicting ability and the related estimation of kidney function via serum creatinine or blood urea nitrogen (BUN)/urea is not reliable in AKI and critical illness. Kidney independent alterations of creatinine- and BUN/urea-levels further complicate the situation. This review critically assesses the current AKI staging, issues and pitfalls of the determination of kidney function and RRT timing, as well as the potential harm reflected by unnecessary RRT. A better understanding is mandatory to improve future study designs and avoid unnecessary RRT for higher patient safety and lower health care costs.

Abstract
Inflammation is a complex biologic response that is essential for eliminating microbial pathogens and repairing tissue after injury. AKI associates with intrarenal and systemic inflammation; thus, improved understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the inflammatory response has high potential for identifying effective therapies to prevent or ameliorate AKI. In the past decade, much knowledge has been generated about the fundamental mechanisms of inflammation. Experimental work in small animal models has revealed many details of the inflammatory response that occurs within the kidney after typical causes of AKI, including insights into the molecular signals released by dying cells, the role of pattern recognition receptors, the diverse subtypes of resident and recruited immune cells, and the phased transition from destructive to reparative inflammation. Although this expansion of the basic knowledge base has increased the number of mechanistically relevant targets of intervention, progress in developing therapies that improve AKI outcomes by modulation of inflammation remains slow. In this article, we summarize the most important recent developments in understanding the inflammatory mechanisms of AKI, highlight key limitations of the commonly used animal models and clinical trial designs that may prevent successful clinical application, and suggest priority approaches for research toward clinical translation in this area.

Abstract
PURPOSE To quantify the error in evaluating recovery from acute kidney injury (AKI) with estimated GFR (eGFR) in relation to ICU stay. METHODS Secondary analysis performed on the database of the EPaNIC trial. In a cohort of patients who developed AKI during ICU stay we compared eGFR with measured creatinine clearance (Clcr) at ICU discharge. Recovery of kidney function was assessed by comparison with baseline eGFR and the accuracy of eGFR to detect "potential CKD status" defined by Clcr was quantified. The same analysis was performed in subgroups with different ICU stay. Multivariate regression was performed to determine independent predictors of the eGFR-Clcr difference. RESULTS A total of 757 patients were included. The bias (limits of agreement (LOA)) between eGFR and Clcr at ICU discharge related to ICU stay, increasing from +1.3 (-37.4/+40) ml/min/1.73 m(2) in patients with short stay to +34.7 (-54.4/+123.8) ml/min/1.73 m(2) in patients with ICU stay of more than 14 days. This resulted in a significantly different incidence of complete recovery with the two evaluation methods and reduced sensitivity to detect "potential CKD status" with eGFR in patients with prolonged ICU stay. Independent predictors of the bias included creatinine excretion on the last day in ICU, baseline eGFR, ICU stay, gender, and age. CONCLUSION Compared to Clcr, discharge eGFR results in overestimation of renal recovery in patients with prolonged ICU stay and in reduced accuracy of "CKD staging". Since age, gender and race do not change during ICU stay the same conclusion can be drawn with regard to plasma creatinine.
