Abstract
OBJECTIVES Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common form of organ dysfunction in the ICU. AKI is associated with adverse short- and long-term outcomes, including high mortality rates, which have not measurably improved over the past decade. This review summarizes the available literature examining the evidence of the need for precision medicine in AKI in critical illness, highlights the current evidence for heterogeneity in the field of AKI, discusses the progress made in advancing precision in AKI, and provides a roadmap for studying precision-guided care in AKI. DATA SOURCES Medical literature regarding topics relevant to precision medicine in AKI, including AKI definitions, epidemiology, and outcomes, novel AKI biomarkers, studies of electronic health records (EHRs), clinical trial design, and observational studies of kidney biopsies in patients with AKI. STUDY SELECTION English language observational studies, randomized clinical trials, reviews, professional society recommendations, and guidelines on areas related to precision medicine in AKI. DATA EXTRACTION Relevant study results, statements, and guidelines were qualitatively assessed and narratively synthesized. DATA SYNTHESIS We synthesized relevant study results, professional society recommendations, and guidelines in this discussion. CONCLUSIONS AKI is a syndrome that encompasses a wide range of underlying pathologies, and this heterogeneity has hindered the development of novel therapeutics for AKI. Wide-ranging efforts to improve precision in AKI have included the validation of novel biomarkers of AKI, leveraging EHRs for disease classification, and phenotyping of tubular secretory clearance. Ongoing efforts such as the Kidney Precision Medicine Project, identifying subphenotypes in AKI, and optimizing clinical trials and endpoints all have great promise in advancing precision medicine in AKI.

BMC Nephrol 2024; 25:181. [PMID: 38778257 PMCID: PMC11112877 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-024-03611-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) and mortality rates for this condition are high. To reduce the high incidence of short-term mortality, reliable prognostic indicators are required to facilitate early diagnosis and treatment of AKI. We assessed the ability of plasma proenkephalin (p‑PENK) and plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (p‑NGAL) to predict 28-day mortality in AKI patients in intensive care. METHODS This prospective study, carried out between January 2019 and December 2019, comprised 150 patients (100 male) diagnosed with AKI after excluding 20 patients discharged within 24 h and those with missing hospitalization data. Blood samples were collected to determine admission p-PENK and p-NGAL levels. The study outcome was 28‑day mortality. RESULTS The mean patient age was 68 years (female, 33%). The average P‑PENK and p‑NGAL levels were 0.24 ng/µL and 223.70 ng/mL, respectively. P‑PENK levels >0.36 ng/µL and p‑NGAL levels >230.30 ng/mL were used as critical values to reliably indicate 28‑day mortality for patients with AKI (adjusted hazard ratios 0.785 [95% confidence interval 0.706-0.865, P<0.001] and 0.700 [95% confidence interval 0.611-0.789, P<0.001], respectively). This association was significant for mortality in patients in intensive care with AKI. Baseline p-PENK (0.36 ng/µL) and p-NGAL (230.30 ng/mL) levels and their respective cut-off values showed clinical value in predicting 28-day mortality. CONCLUSION Serum PENK and NGAL levels, when used in conjunction, improved the accuracy of predicting 28-day mortality in patients with AKI while retaining sensitivity and specificity.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) often complicates sepsis and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. In recent years, several important clinical trials have improved our understanding of sepsis-associated AKI (SA-AKI) and impacted clinical care. Advances in sub-phenotyping of sepsis and AKI and clinical trial design offer unprecedented opportunities to fill gaps in knowledge and generate better evidence for improving the outcome of critically ill patients with SA-AKI. In this manuscript, we review the recent literature of clinical trials in sepsis with focus on studies that explore SA-AKI as a primary or secondary outcome. We discuss lessons learned and potential opportunities to improve the design of clinical trials and generate actionable evidence in future research. We specifically discuss the role of enrichment strategies to target populations that are most likely to derive benefit and the importance of patient-centered clinical trial endpoints and appropriate trial designs with the aim to provide guidance in designing future trials.

Abstract
Cisplatin is still a widely used anticancer drug characterized by significant nephrotoxicity. Acute kidney injury (AKI), diagnosed based on the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria, has limitations, including a delayed increase in creatinine. We determined the usefulness of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), and interleukin-18 (IL-18) in diagnosing AKI according to the KDIGO criteria in patients treated with cisplatin. We recruited 21 subjects starting cisplatin-based chemotherapy (Cisplatin-based group) and 11 treated with carboplatin-based chemotherapy or 5-fluorouracil regimens (non-cisplatin-based group). Blood and urine samples were collected during four subsequent cycles of chemotherapy (68 and 38 cycles, respectively). AKI occurred in four patients in the cisplatin-based group (5.9% of 68 cisplatin-based chemotherapy cycles). Among them, three urinary markers were increased by over 100% in two cases, two in one case and one in another. A doubling of at least one investigated parameter was observed more frequently during cisplatin-based chemotherapy (80.3% vs. 52.8%; OR = 3.65, 95% CI: 1.49-8.90; p < 0.01). The doubling of at least one new urinary AKI marker was more common in patients receiving cisplatin and frequently was not associated with overt AKI. Thus, a subclinical kidney injury detected by these markers occurs more frequently than deterioration in kidney function stated with creatinine changes.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a commonly encountered clinical syndrome. Although it often complicates community acquired illness, it is more common in hospitalized patients, particularly those who are critically ill or who have undergone major surgery. Approximately 20% of hospitalized adult patients develop an AKI during their hospital care, and this rises to nearly 60% in the critically ill, depending on the population being considered. In general, AKI is more common in older adults, in those with preexisting chronic kidney disease and in those with known risk factors for AKI (including diabetes and hypertension). The development of AKI is associated with an increase in both mortality and morbidity, including the development of post-AKI chronic kidney disease. Currently, AKI is defined by a rise in serum creatinine from either a known or derived baseline value and/or oliguria or anuria. However, clinicians may fail to recognize the initial development of AKI because of a delay in the rise of serum creatinine or because of inaccurate urine output monitoring. This, in turn, delays any putative measures to treat AKI or to limit its degree. Consequently, efforts have focused on new biomarkers associated with AKI that may allow early recognition of this syndrome with the intent that this will translate into improved patient outcomes. Here we outline current biomarkers associated with AKI and explore their potential in aiding diagnosis, understanding the pathophysiology and directing therapy.

Abstract
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) after open thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repairs (TAAA) is a common postoperative complication, associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Early detection and management of the kidney tissue damage remains of paramount importance. The aim of this prospectively conducted, observational trial was to evaluate the clinical applicability of Proenkephalin A 119-159 (penKid) for the detection of postoperative AKI. Patients and methods: Thirty-six patients, planned for elective open TAAA repairs from January 2019 to December 2022, were recruited in two German centres (University Hospital Aachen and Charité - University Hospital Berlin). Blood samples were collected pre-surgery (baseline), directly postoperatively and at 12, 24 and 48 hours after surgery. The penKid concentration in plasma was measured using the immunoluminometric sphingotest® assay kit and they were statistically tested for association with AKI and other clinical parameters. Results: Twenty-four patients (62%) developed moderate or severe AKI postoperatively (Stage 2 or 3 of the KDIGO classification) and they had a significantly increased risk for the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (p=.023) or a fatal outcome (p=.035). Starting from the 12th hour after surgery, we found penKid correlating with AKI stage 2/3 (12 hour penKid mean in pmol/L: 93.9 vs. 43.1; c index .776, p=.0037) and renal replacement therapy (12 hour c index .779, p=.0035). Patients with multi-organ dysfunction syndrome had significantly increased penKid levels at all timepoints. Conclusions: We found penKid to be a promising biomarker for the early detection of postoperative AKI and in-hospital mortality after open TAAA repair, which may enable the early initiation of organ-protective strategies and reduction of further complications associated with AKI.

Abstract
Sepsis is a host's deleterious response to infection, which could lead to life-threatening organ dysfunction. Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) is the most frequent organ dysfunction and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Sepsis contributes to ≈50% of all AKI in critically ill adult patients. A growing body of evidence has unveiled key aspects of the clinical risk factors, pathobiology, response to treatment and elements of renal recovery that have advanced our ability to detect, prevent and treat SA-AKI. Despite these advancements, SA-AKI remains a critical clinical condition and a major health burden, and further studies are needed to diminish the short and long-term consequences of SA-AKI. We review the current treatment standards and discuss novel developments in the pathophysiology, diagnosis, outcome prediction and management of SA-AKI.

Abstract
Introduction In clinical practice, kidney (dys)function is monitored through creatinine-based estimations of glomerular filtration rate (eGFR: Modification of Diet in Renal Disease [MDRD], Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration [CKD-EPI]). Creatinine is recognized as a late and insensitive biomarker of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The novel biomarker proenkephalin (PENK) may overcome these limitations, but no PENK-based equation for eGFR is currently available. Therefore, we developed and validated a PENK-based equation to assess GFR. Methods In this international multicenter study in 1354 stable and critically ill patients, GFR was measured (mGFR) through iohexol or iothalamate clearance. A generalized linear model with sigmoidal nonlinear transfer function was used for equation development in the block-randomized development set. Covariates were selected in a data-driven fashion. The novel equation was assessed for bias, precision (mean ± SD), and accuracy (eGFR percentage within ±30% of mGFR, P30) in the validation set and compared with MDRD and CKD-EPI. Results Median mGFR was 61 [44-81] ml/min per 1.73 m2. In order of importance, PENK, creatinine, and age were included, and sex or race did not improve performance. The PENK-based equation mean ± SD bias of the mGFR was 0.5 ± 15 ml/min per 1.73 m2, significantly less compared with MDRD (8 ± 17, P < 0.001) and 2009 CKD-EPI (5 ± 17, P < 0.001), not reaching statistical significance compared with 2021 CKD-EPI (1.3 ± 16, P = 0.06). The P30 accuracy of the PENK-based equation was 83%, significantly higher compared with MDRD (68%, P < 0.001) and 2009 CKD-EPI (76%, P < 0.001), similar to 2021 CKD-EPI (80%, P = 0.13). Conclusion Overall, the PENK-based equation to assess eGFR performed better than most creatinine-based equations without using sex or race.

In 2020, the Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative (ADQI) group proposed a new stage of AKI, referred to as stage 1S, which represents subclinical disease (sAKI) defined as a positive biomarker but no increase in serum creatinine (sCr). This study aimed to determine and compare the urinary peptide signature of sAKI as defined by biomarkers. METHODS This is an ancillary analysis of the prospective, observational, multinational FROG-ICU cohort study. AKI was defined according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcome definition (AKIKDIGO). sAKI was defined based on the levels of the following biomarkers, which exceeded the median value: neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (pNGAL, uNGAL), cystatin C (pCysC, uCysC), proenkephalin A 119-159 (pPENKID) and liver fatty acid binding protein (uLFABP). Urinary peptidomics analysis was performed using capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry. Samples were collected at the time of study inclusion. RESULTS One thousand eight hundred eighty-five patients had all biomarkers measured at inclusion, which included 1154 patients without AKI (non-AKIKDIGO subgroup). The non-AKIKDIGO subgroup consisted of individuals at a median age of 60 years [48, 71], among whom 321 (27.8%) died. The urinary peptide signatures of sAKI, regardless of the biomarkers used for its definition, were similar to the urinary peptide signatures of AKIKDIGO (inflammation, haemolysis, and endothelial dysfunction). These signatures were also associated with 1-year mortality. CONCLUSION Biomarker-defined sAKI is a common and severe condition observed in patients within intensive care units with a urinary peptide signature that is similar to that of AKI, along with a comparable prognosis.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a growing epidemic and is independently associated with increased risk of death, chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular events. Randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) in this domain are notoriously challenging and many clinical studies in AKI have yielded inconclusive findings. Underlying this conundrum is the inherent heterogeneity of AKI in its etiology, presentation and course. AKI is best understood as a syndrome and identification of AKI subphenotypes is needed to elucidate the disease's myriad etiologies and to tailor effective prevention and treatment strategies. Conventional RCTs are logistically cumbersome and often feature highly selected patient populations that limit external generalizability and thus alternative trial designs should be considered when appropriate. In this narrative review of recent developments in AKI trials based on the Kidney Disease Clinical Trialists (KDCT) 2020 meeting, we discuss barriers to and strategies for improved design and implementation of clinical trials for AKI patients, including predictive and prognostic enrichment techniques, the use of pragmatic trials and adaptive trials.

Ann Intensive Care 2023; 13:23. [PMID: 36976367 PMCID: PMC10050666 DOI: 10.1186/s13613-023-01119-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2022] [Accepted: 03/15/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The concept of acute kidney injury (AKI) substages has been recommended to better phenotype AKI and identify high-risk patient groups and therefore improve the diagnostic accuracy of AKI. However, there remains a gap between the recommendation and the clinical application. The study aimed to explore the incidence of AKI substages based on a sensitive AKI biomarker of urinary cystatin C (uCysC), and to determine whether AKI substages were relevant with respect to outcome in critically ill children. RESULTS The multicenter cohort study enrolled 793 children in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of four tertiary hospitals in China. Children were classified as non-AKI, sub-AKI and AKI substages A and B according to uCysC level at PICU admission. Sub-AKI was defined by admission uCysC level ≥ 1.26 mg/g uCr in children not meeting the KDIGO criteria of AKI. In children who fulfilled KDIGO criteria, those with uCysC < 1.26 was defined as AKI substage A, and with ≥ 1.26 defined as AKI substage B. The associations of AKI substages with 30-day PICU mortality were assessed. 15.6% (124/793) of patients met the definition of sub-AKI. Of 180 (22.7%) patients with AKI, 90 (50%) had uCysC-positive AKI substage B and were more likely to have classical AKI stage 3, compared to substage A. Compared to non-AKI, sub-AKI and AKI substages A and B were risk factors significantly associated with mortality, and the association of sub-AKI (adjusted hazard ratio HR = 2.42) and AKI substage B (adjusted HR = 2.83) with mortality remained significant after adjustment for confounders. Moreover, AKI substage B had increased risks of death as compared with sub-AKI (HR = 3.10) and AKI substage A (HR = 3.19). CONCLUSIONS Sub-AKI defined/based on uCysC occurred in 20.2% of patients without AKI and was associated with a risk of death close to patients with AKI substage A. Urinary CysC-positive AKI substage B occurred in 50% of AKI patients and was more likely to have classical AKI stage 3 and was associated with the highest risk of mortality.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate hypoalbuminemia-related factors in patients with stroke in the neurocritical care unit (NCU) and to establish a nomogram model for hypoalbuminemia prediction. Data from 902 patients hospitalized for stroke in the NCU who had normal albumin levels on admission from March 2018 to December 2020 were analyzed. Logistic regression was used to identify the risk factors associated with hypoalbuminemia. A novel nomogram prediction model for hypoalbuminemia was constructed, and it was validated in an independent set (n = 233). The nomogram incorporated seven risk factors, including age, high comorbidity, mechanical ventilation, feeding routes, total protein, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and fibrinogen levels, and its area under the curve for predicting hypoalbuminemia in the developmental set and validation set were 0.856 and 0.870, respectively. The novel nomogram facilitates risk prediction of hypoalbuminemia among patients with stroke in the NCU, which might be useful for selecting treatment strategies and management.

Abstract
Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) is common in critically ill patients and is strongly associated with adverse outcomes, including an increased risk of chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular events and death. The pathophysiology of SA-AKI remains elusive, although microcirculatory dysfunction, cellular metabolic reprogramming and dysregulated inflammatory responses have been implicated in preclinical studies. SA-AKI is best defined as the occurrence of AKI within 7 days of sepsis onset (diagnosed according to Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcome criteria and Sepsis 3 criteria, respectively). Improving outcomes in SA-AKI is challenging, as patients can present with either clinical or subclinical AKI. Early identification of patients at risk of AKI, or at risk of progressing to severe and/or persistent AKI, is crucial to the timely initiation of adequate supportive measures, including limiting further insults to the kidney. Accordingly, the discovery of biomarkers associated with AKI that can aid in early diagnosis is an area of intensive investigation. Additionally, high-quality evidence on best-practice care of patients with AKI, sepsis and SA-AKI has continued to accrue. Although specific therapeutic options are limited, several clinical trials have evaluated the use of care bundles and extracorporeal techniques as potential therapeutic approaches. Here we provide graded recommendations for managing SA-AKI and highlight priorities for future research.

Proenkephalin A 119-159 predicts early and successful liberation from renal replacement therapy in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury: a post hoc analysis of the ELAIN trial. Crit Care 2022; 26:333.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal replacement therapy (RRT) remains the key rescue therapy for critically ill patients with severe acute kidney injury (AKI). However, there are currently no tools available to predict successful liberation from RRT. Biomarkers may allow for risk stratification and individualization of treatment strategies. Proenkephalin A 119-159 (penKid) has been suggested as a promising marker of kidney function in the context of AKI, but has not yet been evaluated for RRT liberation in critically ill patients with AKI. METHODS This post hoc analysis included 210 patients from the randomized clinical ELAIN trial and penKid levels were measured in the blood of these patients. Competing risk time-to-event analyses were performed for pre-RRT penKid at initiation of RRT and in a landmark analysis at day 3 after initiation of RRT. Competing risk endpoints were successful liberation from RRT or death without prior liberation from RRT. RESULTS Low pre-RRT penKid levels (penKid ≤ 89 pmol/l) at RRT initiation were associated with early and successful liberation from RRT compared to patients with high pre-RRT penKid levels (subdistribution hazard ratio (sHR) 1.83, 95%CI 1.26-2.67, p = 0.002, estimated 28d-cumulative incidence function (28d-CIF) of successful liberation from RRT 61% vs. 45%, p = 0.022). This association persisted in the landmark analysis on day 3 of RRT (sHR 1.78, 95%CI 1.17-2.71, p = 0.007, 28d-CIF of successful liberation from RRT 67% vs. 47%, p = 0.018). For both time points, no difference in the competing event of death was detected. CONCLUSIONS In critically ill patients with RRT-dependent AKI, plasma penKid appears to be a useful biomarker for the prediction of shorter duration and successful liberation from RRT and may allow an individualized approach to guide strategies of RRT liberation in critically ill patients with RRT-dependent AKI. TRIAL REGISTRATION The ELAIN trial was prospectively registered at the German Clinical Trial Registry (Identifier: DRKS00004367) on 28th of May 2013.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Impact of in-ICU transfusion on long-term outcomes remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to assess in critical-care survivors the association between in-ICU red blood cells transfusion and 1-year mortality. METHODS FROG-ICU, a multicenter European study enrolling all-comers critical care patients was analyzed (n = 1551). Association between red blood cells transfusion administered in intensive care unit and 1-year mortality in critical care survivors was analyzed using an augmented inverse probability of treatment weighting-augmented inverse probability of censoring weighting method to control confounders. RESULTS Among the 1551 ICU-survivors, 42% received at least one unit of red blood cells while in intensive care unit. Patients in the transfusion group had greater severity scores than those in the no-transfusion group. According to unweighted analysis, 1-year post-critical care mortality was greater in the transfusion group compared to the no-transfusion group (hazard ratio (HR) 1.78, 95% CI 1.45-2.16). Weighted analyses including 40 confounders, showed that transfusion remained associated with a higher risk of long-term mortality (HR 1.21, 95% CI 1.06-1.46). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest a high incidence of in-ICU RBC transfusion and that in-ICU transfusion is associated with a higher 1-year mortality among in-ICU survivors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is most commonly caused by tubular injury and is associated with a wide variety of critical illnesses. It is well known that urinary biomarkers can lead to the early identification of AKI. However, the ability of urinary biomarkers to distinguish between different types of critical illness has been less studied. METHODS In this prospective cohort study, urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) was measured in 107 patients consecutively admitted to the ICUs in our tertiary medical center. uNGAL samples were collected within 3-6 hours of admission to an ICU and measured by ELISA. All data were analyzed using R statistical software, and univariate analysis was used to determine the correlations of uNGAL levels with AKI stage, admission diagnoses, and ICU course. RESULTS uNGAL level increased by a mean of 24-fold (SD 10-59) in ICU patients with AKI and demonstrated a significant correlation with the different AKI stages. uNGAL predicted the need for RRT, with values increased by more than 15-fold (P<0.05) in patients needing RRT, and remained a useful tool to predict AKI in ICU patients with a urinary tract infection. uNGAL level was correlated with certain ICU admitting diagnoses whereby uNGAL levels were lower in ICU patients with cardiogenic shock compared with other admission diagnoses (β=-1.92, P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS uNGAL can be used as an early predictor of AKI and its severity in patients admitted to the ICU, including the need for RRT. uNGAL may also help in distinguishing patients with cardiogenic shock from those with other critical illnesses and identifying those at risk for poor outcomes irrespective of the presence of AKI.

Abstract
Kidneys maintain internal milieu homeostasis through a well-regulated manipulation of body fluid composition. This task is performed by the correlation between structure and function in the nephron. Kidney diseases are chronic conditions impacting healthcare programs globally, and despite efforts, therapeutic options for its treatment are limited. The development of chronic degenerative diseases is associated with changes in protein O-GlcNAcylation, a post-translation modification involved in the regulation of diverse cell function. O-GlcNAcylation is regulated by the enzymatic balance between O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and O-GlcNAcase (OGA) which add and remove GlcNAc residues on target proteins, respectively. Furthermore, the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway provides the substrate for protein O-GlcNAcylation. Beyond its physiological role, several reports indicate the participation of protein O-GlcNAcylation in cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, and metabolic diseases. In this review, we discuss the impact of protein O-GlcNAcylation on physiological renal function, disease conditions, and possible future directions in the field.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a prevalent and serious illness in all clinical departments, with a high morbidity and death rate, particularly in intensive care units, where prevention and treatment are crucial. As a result, active prevention, early detection, and timely intervention for acute kidney injury are critical. The current diagnostic criteria for acute kidney injury are an increase in serum creatinine concentration and/or a decrease in urine output, although creatinine and urine output merely reflect changes in kidney function, and AKI suggests injury or damage, but not necessarily dysfunction. The human kidney plays a crucial functional reserve role, and dysfunction is only visible when more than half of the renal mass is impaired. Tubular damage markers can be used to detect AKI before filtration function is lost, and new biomarkers have shown a new subset of AKI patients known as “subclinical AKI.” Furthermore, creatinine and urine volume are only marginally effective for detecting subclinical AKI. As a result, the search for new biomarkers not only identifies deterioration of renal function but also allows for the early detection of structural kidney damage. Several biomarkers have been identified and validated. This study discusses some of the most promising novel biomarkers of AKI, including CysC, NGAL, KIM-1, lL-18, L-FABP, IGFBP7, TIMP-2, Clusterin, and Penkid. We examine their performance in the diagnosis of subclinical AKI, limitations, and future clinical practice directions.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequently encountered syndrome especially among the critically ill. Current diagnosis of AKI is based on acute deterioration of kidney function, indicated by an increase in creatinine and/or reduced urine output. However, this syndromic definition encompasses a wide variety of distinct clinical features, varying pathophysiology, etiology and risk factors, and finally very different short- and long-term outcomes. Lumping all AKI together may conceal unique pathophysiologic processes specific to certain AKI populations, and discovering these AKI subphenotypes might help to develop targeted therapies tackling unique pathophysiological processes. In this review, we discuss the concept of AKI subphenotypes, current knowledge regarding both clinical and biomarker-driven subphenotypes, interplay with AKI subphenotypes and other ICU syndromes, and potential future and clinical implications.

Abstract
Since the description ischuria renalis by William Heberden (1), AKI has remained a prominent complication of critical illness. Beyond KRT, treatment has been limited by the capacity to phenotype this condition. Here, we chronicle the evolution of attempts to classify AKI, including the adoption of consensus definitions, the expansion of diagnosis and prognosis with novel biomarkers, and emerging tools such as artificial intelligence (AI).

Abstract
Kidney disease is an important public health problem. Both acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease have been well defined and classified, leading to improved research efforts and subsequent management strategies and recommendations. For those patients with abnormalities in kidney function and/or structure who meet neither the definition of AKI nor chronic kidney disease, there remains a gap in research, care, and guidance. The term acute kidney diseases and disorders, abbreviated to acute kidney disease (AKD), has been introduced as an important construct to address this. To expand and harmonize existing definitions and to ultimately better inform research and clinical care, Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) organized a consensus workshop. Multiple invitees from around the globe, representing both acute and chronic kidney disease researchers and experts, met virtually to examine existing data, and discuss key concepts related to AKD. Despite some remaining unresolved questions, conference attendees reached general consensus on the definition and classification of AKD, management strategies, and research priorities. AKD is defined by abnormalities of kidney function and/or structure with implications for health and with a duration of ≤3 months. AKD may include AKI, but, more importantly, also includes abnormalities in kidney function that are not as severe as AKI or that develop over a period of >7 days. The cause(s) of AKD should be sought, and classification includes functional and structural parameters. Management of AKD is currently based on empirical considerations. A robust research agenda to enable refinement and validation of definitions and classification systems, and thus testing of interventions and strategies, is proposed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proenkephalin A 119-159 (penKid) has been suggested as a marker of renal failure and poor outcome. We aimed to investigate the association of penKid on ICU admission with organ dysfunction and mortality in a mixed ICU population. In this retrospective, observational study, admission penKid levels from prospectively collected blood samples of consecutive patients admitted to four Swedish ICUs were analysed. The association of penKid with day-two sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) scores and 30-day mortality was investigated using (ordinal) logistic regression. The predictive power of penKid for 30-day mortality and dialysis was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). RESULTS Of 1978 included patients, 632 fulfilled the sepsis 3-criteria, 190 had a cardiac arrest, and 157 had experienced trauma. Admission penKid was positively associated with 30-day mortality with an odds ratio of 1.95 (95% confidence interval 1.75-2.18, p < 0.001), and predicted 30-day mortality in the entire ICU population with an AUC of 0.71 (95% confidence interval 0.68-0.73) as well as in the sepsis, cardiac arrest and trauma subgroups (AUCs of 0.61-0.84). Correction for admission plasma creatinine revealed that penKid correlated with neurological dysfunction. CONCLUSION Plasma penKid on ICU admission is associated with day-two organ dysfunction and predictive of 30-day mortality in a mixed ICU-population, as well as in sepsis, cardiac arrest and trauma subgroups. In addition to being a marker of renal dysfunction, plasma penKid is associated with neurologic dysfunction in the entire ICU population, and cardiovascular dysfunction in sepsis.

Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury often leads to acute kidney disease (AKD), predisposing patients to long-term complications such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), kidney failure with replacement therapy (KFRT), or mortality. Risk stratification of patients with AKD represents an opportunity to assist with prognostication of long-term kidney complications. STUDY DESIGN Single-center retrospective cohort. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS 6,290 critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit with severe sepsis or septic shock. Patients were separated into cohorts based on incident acute kidney injury or not, and survivors identified who were alive and free of KFRT up to 90 days. PREDICTORS AKD stage (0A, 0C, or ≥1) using the last serum creatinine concentration available by discharge or up to 90 days postdischarge. OUTCOME Time to development of incident CKD, progression of CKD, KFRT, or death. ANALYTICAL APPROACH Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models. RESULTS Patients surviving kidney injury associated with sepsis often fail to return to baseline kidney function by discharge: 577/1,231 (46.9%) with stage 0C or 1 or greater AKD. AKD stage was significantly associated with the composite primary outcome. Stages 0C AKD and 1 or greater AKD were significantly and progressively associated with the primary outcome when compared with stage 0A AKD (adjusted HR [aHR], 1.74; 95% CI, 1.32-2.29, and aHR, 3.25; 95% CI, 2.52-4.20, respectively). Additionally, stage 1 or greater AKD conferred higher risk above stage 0C AKD (aHR, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.44-2.43). CKD incidence or progression and KFRT, more so than mortality, occurred with greater frequency in higher stages of AKD. LIMITATIONS Retrospective design, single center, exclusion of patients with KFRT within 90 days of discharge, potential ascertainment bias, and inability to subclassify above AKD stage 1. CONCLUSIONS Risk stratification using recommended AKD stages at hospital discharge or shortly thereafter associates with the development of long-term kidney outcomes following sepsis-associated acute kidney injury.

Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) subtypes combining kidney functional parameters and injury biomarkers may have prognostic value. We aimed to determine whether neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL)/hepcidin-25 ratio (urinary concentrations of NGAL divided by that of hepcidin-25) defined subtypes are of prognostic relevance in cardiac surgery patients. Methods We studied 198 higher-risk cardiac surgery patients. We allocated patients to four groups: Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO)-AKI-negative and NGAL/hepcidin-25 ratio-negative (no AKI), KDIGO AKI-negative and NGAL/hepcidin-25 ratio-positive (subclinical AKI), KDIGO AKI-positive and NGAL/hepcidin-25 ratio-negative (clinical AKI), KDIGO AKI-positive and NGAL/hepcidin-25 ratio-positive (combined AKI). Outcomes included in-hospital mortality (primary) and long-term mortality (secondary). Results We identified 127 (61.6%) patients with no AKI, 13 (6.6%) with subclinical, 40 (20.2%) with clinical and 18 (9.1%) with combined AKI. Subclinical AKI patients had a 23-fold greater in-hospital mortality than no AKI patients. For combined AKI vs. no AKI or clinical AKI, findings were stronger (odds ratios (ORs): 126 and 39, respectively). After adjusting for EuroScore, volume of intraoperative packed red blood cells, and aortic cross-clamp time, subclinical and combined AKI remained associated with greater in-hospital mortality than no AKI and clinical AKI (adjusted ORs: 28.118, 95% CI 1.465–539.703; 3.737, 95% CI 1.746–7.998). Cox proportional hazard models found a significant association of biomarker-informed AKI subtypes with long-term survival compared with no AKI (adjusted ORs: pooled subclinical and clinical AKI: 1.885, 95% CI 1.003–3.542; combined AKI: 1.792, 95% CI 1.367–2.350).

Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most frequent organ failure encountered among intensive care unit patients. In addition to the well-known immediate complications (hydroelectrolytic disorders, hypervolemia, drug overdose), the occurrence of long-term complications and/or chronic comorbidities related to AKI has long been underestimated. The aim of this manuscript is to briefly review the short- and long-term consequences of AKI and discuss strategies likely to improve outcome of AKI. Main body We reviewed the literature, focusing on the consequences of AKI in all its aspects and the management of AKI. We addressed the importance of clinical management for improving outcomes AKI. Finally, we have also proposed candidate future strategies and management perspectives. Conclusion AKI must be considered as a systemic disease. Due to its short- and long-term impact, measures to prevent AKI and limit the consequences of AKI are expected to improve global outcomes of patients suffering from critical illnesses.

Predictive value of plasma proenkephalin and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin in acute kidney injury and mortality in cardiogenic shock. Ann Intensive Care 2021; 11:25. [PMID: 33547528 PMCID: PMC7865050 DOI: 10.1186/s13613-021-00814-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2020] [Accepted: 01/20/2021] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent form of organ injury in cardiogenic shock. However, data on AKI markers such as plasma proenkephalin (P-PENK) and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (P-NGAL) in cardiogenic shock populations are lacking. The objective of this study was to assess the ability of P-PENK and P-NGAL to predict acute kidney injury and mortality in cardiogenic shock. RESULTS P-PENK and P-NGAL were measured at different time points between baseline and 48 h in 154 patients from the prospective CardShock study. The outcomes assessed were AKI defined by an increase in creatinine within 48 h and all-cause 90-day mortality. Mean age was 66 years and 26% were women. Baseline levels of P-PENK and P-NGAL (median [interquartile range]) were 99 (71-150) pmol/mL and 138 (84-214) ng/mL. P-PENK > 84.8 pmol/mL and P-NGAL > 104 ng/mL at baseline were identified as optimal cut-offs for AKI prediction and independently associated with AKI (adjusted HRs 2.2 [95% CI 1.1-4.4, p = 0.03] and 2.8 [95% CI 1.2-6.5, p = 0.01], respectively). P-PENK and P-NGAL levels at baseline were also associated with 90-day mortality. For patients with oliguria < 0.5 mL/kg/h for > 6 h before study enrollment, 90-day mortality differed significantly between patients with low and high P-PENK/P-NGAL at baseline (5% vs. 68%, p < 0.001). However, the biomarkers provided best discrimination for mortality when measured at 24 h. Identified cut-offs of P-PENK24h > 105.7 pmol/L and P-NGAL24h > 151 ng/mL had unadjusted hazard ratios of 5.6 (95% CI 3.1-10.7, p < 0.001) and 5.2 (95% CI 2.8-9.8, p < 0.001) for 90-day mortality. The association remained significant despite adjustments with AKI and two risk scores for mortality in cardiogenic shock. CONCLUSIONS High levels of P-PENK and P-NGAL at baseline were independently associated with AKI in cardiogenic shock patients. Furthermore, oliguria before study inclusion was associated with worse outcomes only if combined with high baseline levels of P-PENK or P-NGAL. High levels of both P-PENK and P-NGAL at 24 h were found to be strong and independent predictors of 90-day mortality.
