Abstract
INTRODUCTION The number of elderly patients who require surgery as their primary treatment has increased rapidly in recent years. Among 300 million people globally who underwent surgery every year, patients aged 65 years and over accounted for more than 30% of cases. Despite medical advances, older patients remain at higher risk of postoperative complications. Early diagnosis and effective prediction are essential requirements for preventing serious postoperative complications. In this study, we aim to provide new biomarker combinations to predict the incidence of postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) admissions > 24 h in elderly patients. METHODS This investigation was conducted as a nested case-control study, incorporating 413 participants aged ≥ 65 years who underwent non-cardiac, non-urological elective surgeries. These individuals underwent a 30-day postoperative follow-up. Before surgery, peripheral venous blood was collected for analyzing serum creatinine (Scr), procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), and high-sensitivity CRP (hsCRP). The efficacy of these biomarkers in predicting postoperative complications was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and area under the curve (AUC) values. RESULTS Postoperatively, 10 patients (2.42%) required ICU admission. Regarding ICU admissions, the AUCs with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the biomarker combinations of Scr × PCT and Scr × CRP were 0.750 (0.655-0.845, P = 0.007) and 0.724 (0.567-0.882, P = 0.015), respectively. Furthermore, cardiovascular events were observed in 14 patients (3.39%). The AUC with a 95% CI for the combination of Scr × CRP in predicting cardiovascular events was 0.688 (0.560-0.817, P = 0.017). CONCLUSION The innovative combinations of biomarkers (Scr × PCT and Scr × CRP) demonstrated efficacy as predictors for postoperative ICU admissions in elderly patients. Additionally, the Scr × CRP also had a moderate predictive value for postoperative cardiovascular events. TRIAL REGISTRATION China Clinical Trial Registry, ChiCTR1900026223.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Little is known about the correlation between perioperative concentrations of inflammatory biomarkers and postoperative complications. This study explored whether the plasma concentrations and perioperative changes of procalcitonin (PCT), C reactive protein (CRP) and high-sensitivity CRP (hsCRP) could predict the risk of postoperative morbidity in elderly patients undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery. DESIGN A nested case-control study. SETTING A tertiary hospital in China. PARTICIPANTS A total of 498 patients aged ≥65 years from a prospective cohort who underwent elective non-cardiac surgery between June 2020 and April 2021. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcomes were the efficacy of plasma concentrations of PCT, CRP and hsCRP in predicting the risk of Clavien-Dindo Classification (CDC) ≥grade 3 and major complications. The major complications included mortality, an intensive care unit stay length >24 hour, cardiovascular events, acute kidney injury, postoperative cognitive dysfunction and infections. RESULTS For major complications, the area under the curve (AUC) (95% CI) of PCT-24 hours, PCT change and PCT change rate were 0.750 (0.698 to 0.803), 0.740 (0.686 to 0.795) and 0.711 (0.651 to 0.771), respectively. The AUC (95% CI) of CRP-24 hours, CRP change, CRP change rate and hsCRP baseline were 0.835 (0.789 to 0.881), 0.818 (0.770 to 0.867), 0.691 (0.625 to 0.756) and 0.616 (0.554 to 0.678), respectively. For complications ≥CDC grade 3, the AUC (95% CI) of PCT-24 hours, PCT change and PCT change rate were 0.662 (0.543 to 0.780), 0.643 (0.514 to 0.772) and 0.627 (0.494 to 0.761), respectively. The AUC (95% CI) of CRP-24 hours and hsCRP baseline were 0.649 (0.527 to 0.771) and 0.639 (0.530 to 0.748), respectively. CONCLUSIONS PCT-24 hours, CRP-24 hours, the change of perioperative PCT and CRP were valuable predictors of major complications occurring within 30 days after non-cardiac surgery in the elderly.

Abstract
Studies reported conflicting results on the effect of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) blocker use on acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing elective coronary angiography but association in elderly patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is not known. Also, there are limited data on the effect of inflammatory markers on AKI. We aimed to investigate the effects of RAAS blocker pretreatment and inflammatory markers on AKI in this population. A total of 471 patients were compared according to presence of RAAS blocker pretreatment at admission. Conventional and inverse probability weighed conditional logistic regression were used to determine independent predictors of AKI. Mean age of the study group was 75.4 ± 7.1 years and 29.1% of the patients were female. AKI was observed in 17.2% of the study population. Weighted conditional multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that AKI was associated with baseline creatinine levels and C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR) (OR 2.08, 95% CI = 1.13-3.82, p = .02 and OR 1.19, 95% CI = 1.01-1.41, p = .04, respectively). No significant association was found between RAAS blocker pretreatment and AKI. CAR and elevated baseline creatinine levels were independent predictors of AKI in this patient group.

Procalcitonin, Interleukin-6 and C-reactive Protein Levels Predict Renal Adverse Outcomes and Mortality in Patients with Acute Type A Aortic Dissection. Front Surg 2022; 9:902108. [PMID: 35574553 PMCID: PMC9096660 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2022.902108] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2022] [Accepted: 04/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Acute type A aortic coarctation (AAAD) is a highly deadly and serious life-threatening disease. The purpose of this study was to estimate the predictive value of peak procalcitonin, interleukin-6, and C-reactive protein levels on adverse renal outcomes and mortality in patients undergoing surgery for AAAD. Methods Perioperative peak PCT, CRP, and IL-6 levels were retrospectively collected in 331 patients hospitalized with AAAD from 2009 to 2021. The primary endpoints were AKI stage 2–3 and mortality. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to compare the predictive values of peak PCT, CRP, and IL-6 for different clinical outcomes. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to find risk factors for AKI and 30-day mortality. Results The incidence of AKI stage 2–3 following AAAD was 50.8% (168/331). The 30-day and overall mortality were significantly greater in the AKI 2–3 group than in the AKI 0–1 group (P = 0.000). ROC curve analysis showed that peak PCT, with an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.712, was a more accurate predictor of adverse renal outcomes than peak IL-6 and CRP. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that PCT > 0.39 ng/mL was an independent risk factor for AKI stage 2–3. Peak IL-6 > 259 pg/mL was found to be an independent risk factor for 30-day mortality. Conclusion In patients with surgery for AAAD, peak PCT provides a well-predictive indicator of AKI stage 2–3 and peak IL-6 indicates a favorable predictor of 30-day mortality.

Abstract
Previous studies have identified numerous risk factors of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in patients undergoing coronary angiography. However, the association between anemia and CI-AKI remains conflicting. Thus, we conducted a meta-analysis to further clarify the relationship between anemia and CI-AKI. PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science were systematically searched from inception to June 2020 to identify eligible studies. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to estimate the correlation between anemia and CI-AKI. The potential publication bias was estimated using funnel plot and Begg's test. A total of 13 studies (five case-control studies and eight cohort studies) comprising 27,135 patients were included. The pooled results showed that anemia was a significant risk factor of CI-AKI (OR, 1.82; 95% CI, 1.27-2.61). Moreover, the results of subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses were basically consistent with the overall pooled result. Funnel plot and Begg's test indicated that there existed potential publication bias, but the result of trim and filled analysis showed that the pooled results kept stable after adding 'missing' studies. This meta-analysis suggested that anemia may be correlated with an increased incidence of CI-AKI in patients undergoing coronary angiography. However, our conclusions should be interpreted with caution due to some limitations. Therefore, further high-quality trials should be conducted to confirm our findings.

[PMID: 34551865 DOI: 10.1016/j.jjcc.2021.09.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2021] [Revised: 08/23/2021] [Accepted: 08/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Neutrophil and albumin are well-known biomarkers of inflammation, which are highly related to contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI). We aim to explore the predictive value of neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) for CA-AKI and long-term mortality in patients without chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS We retrospectively observed 5083 consenting patients from January 2012 to December 2018. CA-AKI was defined as an increase in serum creatinine ≥50% or 0.3 mg/dL within 48 h after contrast medium exposure. RESULTS The incidence of CA-AKI was 5.6% (n=286). The optimal cut-off value of NPAR for predicting CA-AKI was 15.7 with 66.8% sensitivity and 61.9% specificity [C statistic=0.679; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.666-0.691]. NPAR displayed higher area under the curve values in comparison to neutrophil percentage (p < 0.001) and neutrophil-to-albumin ratio (NAR) (p < 0.001), but not albumin (p = 0.063). However, NPAR significantly improved the prediction of CA-AKI assessed by the continuous net reclassification improvement (NRI) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) compared to neutrophil percentage (NRI=0.353, 95% CI: 0.234-0.472, p < 0.001; IDI=0.017, 95% CI: 0.010-0.024, p < 0.001) and albumin (NRI=0.141, 95% CI: 0.022-0.260, p = 0.020; IDI=0.009, 95% CI: 0.003-0.015, p = 0.003) alone. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, multivariate analysis showed that NPAR >15.7 was a strong independent predictor of CA-AKI (odds ratio =1.90, 95% CI: 1.38-2.63, p < 0.001). Additionally, NPAR >15.7 was significantly associated with long-term mortality during a median of 2.9 years of follow-up (hazard ratio =1.68, 95% CI: 1.32-2.13; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS NPAR was an independent predictor of CA-AKI and long-term mortality in patients without CKD undergoing elective PCI.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to evaluate the predictive value of admission C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR) for acute kidney injury (AKI) in cases with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) not on dialysis who presented with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and underwent coronary angiography (CAG). This cross-sectional and observational study included 420 NSTEMI patients. The study population was categorized based on the CAR tertiles as groups T1, T2, and T3. The primary outcome of the study was AKI development; 92 (21.9%) cases developed AKI. The frequency of AKI was significantly higher in the T3 group compared with the T2 and T1 groups (34% vs 17% vs 14%, P < .001). Age, estimated glomerular filtration rate, contrast media volume, and CAR (odds ratio: 1.36; 95% CI: 1.17-1.57; P < .01) were significant predictors of AKI. In a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, CAR levels >0.20 predicted AKI development with a sensitivity of 74% and a specificity of 45%. We observed that the CAR may be a promising inflammatory parameter for AKI in NSTEMI patients with moderate to severe CKD after CAG.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common yet complicated clinical entity with high morbidity and mortality. An essential strategy to improve AKI patients’ prognoses is finding optimal biomarkers to identify AKI in a timely manner. Procalcitonin (PCT), a well-recognized biomarker for diagnosing infection and guiding antibiotics therapy, has been proposed to predict AKI development and recovery in many clinical settings. The current review provides comprehensive and updated information from relevant studies to evaluate PCT’s AKI-predictive ability and the influence of infection on this predictive ability. PCT has demonstrated optimal predictive ability for AKI in various populations irrespective of infection. However, the predictive ability seems to be blunted by infection since infection and inflammation have a more potent influence than AKI on PCT elevation. We furthermore explain the complicated association between elevated PCT levels and AKI in infection and inflammation situations and recommend directions for further investigations to clarify the essential issue. In conclusion, although conflicting data exist, serum PCT level is a potential biomarker for predicting AKI in many clinical settings regardless of infection. Nevertheless, further studies are warranted to clarify the association between PCT, infection, and AKI and to confirm the utilization of PCT for AKI prediction.

Blood Purif 2021; 50:790-799. [PMID: 33730732 DOI: 10.1159/000512351] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2020] [Accepted: 10/14/2020] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between serum procalcitonin (PCT) and acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by bacterial septic shock. METHODS A retrospective study was designed which included patients who were admitted to the ICU from January 2015 to October 2018. Multiple logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) as well as smooth curve fitting analysis were used to assess the relationship between the PCT level and AKI. RESULTS Of the 1,631 patients screened, 157 patients were included in the primary analysis in which 84 (53.5%) patients were with AKI. Multiple logistic regression results showed that PCT (odds ratio [OR] = 1.017, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.009-1.025, p < 0.001) was associated with AKI induced by septic shock. The ROC analysis showed that the cutoff point for PCT to predict AKI development was 14 ng/mL, with a sensitivity of 63% and specificity 67%. Specifically, in multivariate piecewise linear regression, the occurrence of AKI decreased with the elevation of PCT when PCT was between 25 ng/mL and 120 ng/mL (OR 0.963, 95% CI 0.929-0.999; p = 0.042). The AKI increased with the elevation of PCT when PCT was either <25 ng/mL (OR 1.077, 95% CI 1.022-1.136; p = 0.006) or >120 ng/mL (OR 1.042, 95% CI 1.009-1.076; p = 0.013). Moreover, the PCT level was significantly higher in the AKI group only in female patients aged ≤75 years (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Our data revealed a nonlinear relationship between PCT and AKI in septic shock patients, and PCT could be used as a potential biomarker of AKI in female patients younger than 75 years with bacterial septic shock.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Procalcitonin (PCT) was used for predicting the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) in several studies recently. We aimed to investigate the accuracy of PCT for predicting AKI in this study. METHODS Studies that assessed the predictive performance of PCT for the development of AKI in adult patients were searched from Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Library from inception to June 2020. We calculated the pooled sensitivities and specificities and the area under the summary receiver-operating characteristic (SROC) curves. I2 was used to test the heterogeneity and the potential heterogeneity was investigated by meta-regression. RESULTS In total, 9 of 119 studies with 4852 patients were included, 1272 were diagnosed with AKI. In the overall analysis, the area under the SROC curve was 0.82 (95% CI, 0.79-0.85) and the pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.76 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.64-0.85) and 0.75 (95% CI, 0.61-0.86), respectively. In the subgroup analysis among septic patients, the pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.59 (95% CI, 0.29-0.84) and 0.53 (95% CI, 0.31-0.74), and the area under the SROC was 0.57 (95% CI, 0.53-0.62). CONCLUSION PCT may be a potential predictor for the development of AKI.

Combination of biomarker with clinical risk factors for prediction of severe acute kidney injury in critically ill patients. BMC Nephrol 2020; 21:540. [PMID: 33302892 PMCID: PMC7731753 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-020-02202-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2020] [Accepted: 12/03/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs commonly in the intensive care unit (ICU). Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2), known as [TIMP-2] x [IGFBP7] (NephroCheck), have been identified as novel biomarkers for the prediction of AKI risk. However, the effective use of disease biomarkers is indispensable from an appropriate clinical context. We conducted a retrospective cohort study to find risk factors and assess the performance of the combination of NephroCheck with risk factors, so as to provide feasible information for AKI prediction. Methods All patients who were admitted in the ICU (from June 2016 to July 2017) participated in the study. The primary outcome was the detection of severe AKI within the first 7 days after patients being admitted to the ICU. The predictors were separated into three categories: chronic risk factors, acute risk factors and biochemical indicators. Results The study included 577 patients. 96 patients developed to severe AKI (16.6%) within 7 days. In addition to NephroCheck (+) (OR = 2.139, 95% CI (1.260–3.630), P = 0.005), age > 65 years (OR = 1.961, 95% CI (1.153–3.336), P = 0.013), CKD (OR = 2.573, 95% CI (1.319–5.018), P = 0.006) and PCT (+)(OR = 3.223, 95% CI (1.643–6.321), P = 0.001) were also the independent predictors of severe AKI within 7 days. Compared to NephroCheck (+) only (AUC = 0.66, 95% CI:0.60–0.72), the combination of NephroCheck (+) and risk factors (age > 65 years, CKD and PCT positive) (AUC = 0.75, 95% CI:0.70–0.81) led to a significant increase in the area under ROC curve for severe AKI prediction within 7 days. Conclusions Although NephroCheck is an effective screening tool for recognizing high-risk patients, we found that combination with biomarker and risk factors (age > 65 years, CKD, procalcitonin positive) for risk assessment of AKI has the greatest significance to patients with uncertain disease trajectories.

Abstract
Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a serious complication of
percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute ST-segment
elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Early identification of high-risk
patients has an essential role in preventing CI-AKI. This study was designed to
evaluate the predictive value of d-dimer, a marker of thrombosis and
hypercoagulable state, for CI-AKI and prognosis in patients with STEMI. We
included 400 patients with STEMI who underwent PCI. The patients were subdivided
into 4 groups according to d-dimer level using the 4-quantile method.
Contrast-induced acute kidney injury occurred in 66 (16.5%) patients. The
incidence of CI-AKI in the highest quartile of the d-dimer groups
(29.0%) was higher than that in the other 3 groups. Multivariable logistic
regression showed that a low d-dimer level was significantly associated
with a decreased risk of CI-AKI independent of confounding factors, with an odds
ratio (OR) of 0.487 (95% CI: 0.178-0.931, P = 0.041) for those
in the first quartile compared with those in the highest quartile. Age (OR:
1.047, 95% CI: 1.003-1.092), diabetes mellitus (OR: 5.896, 95% CI:
2.496-13.927), anemia (OR: 3.488, 95% CI: 1.308-9.306), and total bilirubin (OR:
0.946, 95% CI: 0.904-0.992) were independent predictors of CI-AKI. The incidence
of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral events and all-cause mortality
within 30 days, 6 months, and 1 year after PCI in the highest quartile of the
d-dimer groups were higher than those in the other 3 groups. In
conclusion, increasing d-dimer levels were independently associated
with the incidence of CI-AKI and adverse outcomes in patients with STEMI after
PCI.

Abstract
Objective To assess the diagnostic value of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) or N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) for contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing coronary angiography. Background ACS remains a major cause of death worldwide. Patients with ACS undergoing coronary angiography are more likely to develop CI-AKI, which correlates highly with poor clinical outcomes. Early diagnosis of CI-AKI remains a challenge. Many recent studies have suggested that BNP or NT-proBNP may be a useful biomarker for the early diagnosis of CI-AKI. Methods We searched databases (PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library) to identify eligible studies. Two authors independently screened the studies and extracted data. We used the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 (QUADAS-2) criteria to assess the methodological quality of the included studies and STATA to perform all statistical analyses. Results Nine studies including 2832 patients were identified. The pooled sensitivity of 0.73 (95% CI 0.65–0.79), specificity of 0.79 (95% CI 0.70–0.85), and area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.81 (95% CI 0.77–0.84) suggested that BNP or NT-proBNP had a good diagnostic value for CI-AKI in patients with ACS undergoing coronary angiography. Conclusions Our findings suggest that BNP or NT-proBNP may be an effective predictive marker for CI-AKI. However, additional high-quality studies are required to find the optimal cutoff value and the diagnostic value of BNP or NT-proBNP in combination with other biomarkers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A common non-neurologic complication after traumatic brain injury (TBI), acute kidney injury (AKI) is a risk factor of mortality. Some studies confirmed the predictive value of procalcitonin (PCT) on AKI in several clinical settings. We designed this study to explore the predictive value of PCT on AKI after TBI. METHODS We retrospectively enrolled patients with TBI admitted to our hospital from February 2015 to June 2019. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to find the risk factors of AKI and construct a predictive model for AKI. Receiver operating characteristics curves were drawn to compare the predictive value of PCT and the constructed model. RESULTS A total of 214 patients were included in this study. The incidence of AKI after TBI was 25.70% in this study. Compared with the non-AKI group, the AKI group had higher age (P = 0.031), lower Glasgow Coma Scale (P < 0.001), and higher incidence of coagulopathy (P < 0.001) and shock (P < 0.001). Moreover, patients complicated with AKI had higher in-hospital mortality (P < 0.001) and worse 90-day outcome (P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that age (P = 0.033), PCT (P = 0.002), serum chlorine (P = 0.011), and creatinine (P < 0.001) were independent risk factors of AKI. We constructed a predictive model using these 4 risk factors. The area under receiver operating characteristics curves of the predictive model was 0.928, which was significantly higher than that of a single PCT value (area under receiver operating characteristics curves = 0.833) (Z = 2.395, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS PCT is valuable in predicting AKI after TBI. To avoid AKI after TBI, physicians can adjust treatment strategies according to the level of PCT.

[PMID: 32318859 PMCID: PMC7174532 DOI: 10.1186/s13613-020-00665-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2019] [Accepted: 04/13/2020] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Biomarkers can play a critical role by facilitating diagnosis and stratification of disease, as well as assessment or prediction of disease severity. Urinary tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 product ([TIMP-2] × [IGFBP7]) predict the development and progression of AKI and recently procalcitonin (PCT), a widely used biomarker for sepsis diagnosis and management, has been associated with AKI occurrence in ICU patients. To assess combinations of [TIMP-2] × [IGFBP7] and PCT results for prediction and risk stratification of short-term outcomes in septic and non-septic patients, a retrospective cohort analysis of critically ill patients was performed in a multidisciplinary ICU. ROC curve analysis was used in order to evaluate predictive performance of combined results of [TIMP-2] × [IGFBP7] and PCT at the time of admission for AKI development. To verify the utility of adding [TIMP-2] × [IGFBP7] and PCT results for risk assessment, we evaluated the predictive value of having a single-marker positivity compared to a double-marker positivity using the widely used cut-off of 0.3 (ng/mL)2/1000 for [TIMP-2] × [IGFBP7] and 0.5 μg/L for PCT. Risk assessment for AKI occurrence within 48 h, acute kidney disease (AKD) and mortality at 7 days was performed by logistic/Cox regression analysis. RESULTS 433 patients were analysed, of whom 168 had AKI within 48 h (93 septic and 65 non-septic patients). Combination of [TIMP-2] × [IGFBP7] and PCT showed a good predictive ability for AKI occurrence (AUC 0.81, 95% CI 0.77-0.86, p < 0.001, Sens 78%, Spec 73%). Combinations of biomarkers increased the odd ratios (OR) considerably. A single-marker positivity showed a fourfold risk increase, while the double-marker positivity a 26-fold risk increase for AKI occurrence. Moreover, the double-marker positivity showed an elevated risk for AKD at 7 days in non-septic patients (OR 15.9, 95% CI 3,21-73,57, p < 0.001) and for mortality within 7 days in septic patients (HR 4.1, 95% CI 1.4-11.8, p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Although combining the results of [TIMP-2] × [IGFBP7] and PCT may be a useful tool to identify and stratify ICU patients at high risk for septic AKI and short-term adverse outcomes, data should be confirmed in a large prospective study.

Abstract
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) accounts for about 10% of all hospital-acquired acute kidney injury. We aimed to assess the role of the combination of 2 inflammatory biomarkers, the C-reactive protein (CRP)/albumin ratio (CAR), in the development of CIN after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Patients with NSTEMI (n = 205) treated by PCI were classified according to the development of CIN. Both groups were compared according to clinical, laboratory, and demographic characteristics, including inflammatory biomarkers and specifically, CAR. Contrast-induced nephropathy was observed in 10.2% of patients. More advanced age, the presence of diabetes and dyslipidemia, left ventricular ejection fraction, and CAR correlated with the development of CIN. Analysis also showed a significant association between CAR and the development of CIN (CAR in CIN (+): 8.54 ± 8.48, range: 0.7-32, median: 7.13 vs CAR in CIN (-): 2.36 ± 3.01, range: 0.1-24, median: 1.33, P < .001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed the impact of CAR on the development of CIN (odds ratio: 1.244, 95% confidence interval: 1.102; 1.392, P < .01). We conclude that CAR, as a combination of 2 inflammatory biomarkers, is a more accurate predictor of CIN development compared with the single-marker assessment of albumin and CRP in the context of NSTEMI.

Abstract
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is one of the most important complications after invasive cardiovascular procedures. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), mean platelet volume-to-lymphocyte ratio (MPVLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) may be markers of the risk of CIN. We aimed to investigate the association of these indices with the development of CIN in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction and non-ST-elevation-acute coronary syndrome who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention. We retrospectively collected the data of patients with ACS after coronary angiography (CA); 564 patients were included (mean age, 62.3 ± 13.0 years; 41.1% female). We compared 62 (10.9%) patients who developed CIN and 502 patients who did not, after CA in terms of NLR, PLR, and MPVLR. Patients who developed CIN had significantly higher MPVLR, NLR, and PLR; the MPVLR (P ≤ .001) was an independent predictor of CIN. NLR, MPVLR, and PLR are simple, cheap, and easily accessible tests that can predict CIN; the MPVLR was the strongest of these predictors.

Abstract
BACKROUND The CHA2DS2-VASC score, used for embolic risk stratification in atrial fibrillation, has been reported recently to predict adverse clinical outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease. We investigated the correlation between the CHA2DS2-VASC score and contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS We retrospectively enrolled 363 (191; 52.6% men) NSTEMI patients undergoing PCI. The CHA2 DS2-VASC score was calculated for each patient, and the study population was divided into 2 groups: CHA2DS2-VASC score <2 group (low score; n = 259, 71.3%) and CHA2DS2-VASC score ≥2 group (high score; n = 104, 28.6%). Patients were then reallocated to 2 groups according to the presence or absence of CIN. CIN was defined as a rise in serum creatinine >0.5 mg/dL or >25% increase in baseline within 72 h after PCI. RESULTS Overall, 56 cases (15.4%) of CIN were diagnosed. When patients with a CHA2DS2-VASC score of <2 were compared with those with a CHA2DS2-VASC score of ≥2, patients with a high score had a higher frequency of CIN (33) 31.7% versus (23) 8.9%; p < 0.001. Also patients with CIN had higher CHADS2 VASC score (3.94 ± 1.13 vs. 1.68 ± 0.46, p < 0.001). Additionally, in-hospital mortality, length of hospital stay, major bleeding, requirement of mechanical ventilation, and dialysis were observed significantly higher in patients with CHA2DS2-VASC score of ≥2 (p = 0.001, p = 0.002, p = 0.006, p = 0.001, p = 0.001, respectively). In receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the area under the curve for predicting CIN was 0.702 (p < 0.001, 95% CI 0.617-0.787) and cutoff value was 2.5 (sensitivity 58.9%, specificity 76.9%) for the number of CHA2DS2-VASC score. CONCLUSION In NSTEMI patients undergoing PCI, CHADS2 VASC score is associated with an increased risk for CIN and in-hospital morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
Background Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is common after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and always leads to a poor prognosis. Compared with conventional detection methods, either high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) or procalcitonin have higher sensitivity and specificity for predicting CIN, but their combination has not been explored. This prospective study investigated the value of hs-CRP combined with procalcitonin for predicting CIN after PCI. Methods All patients undergoing PCI admitted to our hospital during the year 2016 were consecutively enrolled (n = 343). The patients received adequate hydration before PCI and 20 mg furosemide after the procedure. CIN was diagnosed by a 25% elevation in serum creatinine or ≥ 44.2 μmol/L (0.5 mg/dL) serum creatinine within 48 to 72 h after intravenous injection of contrast media. Results Patients with high hs-CRP or procalcitonin had higher rates of CIN relative to those patients with low values. For predicting CIN, hs-CRP combined with procalcitonin showed an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.67, with optimal cut-off value 0.0643610, and the sensitivity and specificity were higher than hs-CRP or procalcitonin alone. The logistic regression analysis showed that high-risk factors of CIN were acute myocardial infarction and highly elevated hsCRP and procalcitonin. Conclusions Prior to PCI, an elevation of the inflammatory biomarkers hsCRP and procalcitonin are a risk factor for postoperative CIN. This study suggests that the combination of hsCRP and procalcitonin is a better predictor of CIN after PCI then either hsCRP or procalcitonin alone. Trial registration number ChiCTR-IOR-14005250. Date of registration 2014-09-24.

Abstract
AIM To determine whether admission procalcitonin (PCT) was associated with the subsequent development of acute kidney injury (AKI) in a general population of critically ill patients. METHODS The study was a retrospective observational study conducted in a multidisciplinary intensive care unit (ICU) over a period of 1 year. Adult patients who had a PCT performed on admission and who did not have chronic kidney disease (CKD) or AKI on admission, were evaluated for the development of AKI within the first week of ICU admission, according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. The association between PCT on admission and the development of AKI was explored for the entire cohort and for septic and non-septic subgroups. RESULTS Two hundred and one patients were included in the study. The incidence of AKI in the first 7 days of ICU admission was 36.8%. PCT, age, the presence of shock on admission, and sepsis were significantly associated with AKI on univariate analysis. Multivariable analysis of the entire cohort revealed that age, shock and sepsis remained independent predictors of AKI, while PCT was no longer significant. When the septic and non-septic patients were analyzed separately a PCT ≥10 ng/mL remained the only significant predictor of AKI in the non-septic patients (OR 4.430; 95% CI 1.464-13.399), but was not an independent predictor of AKI in septic patients. CONCLUSION The main finding of this study was the significant association of an elevated PCT on admission with the development of AKI in the non-septic patient. An elevated PCT in a non-septic patient identifies a patient at increased risk of AKI. PCT requires further study as a novel biomarker of AKI in non-septic patients.

Abstract
The G1 cell cycle inhibitors tissue inhibitor metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) have been identified as novel biomarkers for the prediction of moderate to severe acute kidney injury (AKI) risk. However, the prognostic value of [TIMP-2]•[IGFBP7] in predicting adverse outcomes in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with AKI was not previously described. To evaluate this, we conducted a cohort study, measuring [TIMP2]•[IGFBP7] levels in critically ill patients admitted to the ICU and classified the patients as NephroCheck (NC) (+) or NC (-) according to [TIMP-2]•[IGFBP7] values and AKI (+) or AKI (-) according to Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. We then evaluated the incidence of continuous renal replacement therapy initiation, all-cause mortality and a composite endpoint of both in the four groups. Baseline [TIMP-2]•[IGFBP7] values were available for 719 patients, of whom 239 developed AKI and 151 met the composite endpoint. Compared to NC (-)/AKI (+) patients, NC (+)/AKI (+) patients had a significant risk of ICU mortality and the composite endpoint. Kaplan-Meier curves showed that the survival estimate for the composite endpoint of NC (+)/AKI (+) patients was 34.4%; significantly worse than NC (-)/AKI (+) patients (67.4%). Multivariate analyses showed strong association between NC positivity and the composite endpoint. The inflammatory marker, procalcitonin, was an additional prognostic biomarker to compare and confirm the incremental value of NephroCheck. No association between procalcitonin and the composite endpoint was found, especially in patients with AKI, suggesting that NephroCheck may be more kidney specific. Thus, the [TIMP-2]•[IGFBP7] values can serve to identify patients with AKI at increased risk for adverse outcomes in the ICU.

Abstract
AIM Procalcitonin (PCT) is an inflammatory marker and elevated PCT levels are associated with cardiovascular events. We assessed whether PCT level is an independent predictor of bare-metal stent (BMS) in-stent restenosis (ISR). PATIENTS & METHODS We evaluated 240 patients undergoing BMS implantation. Serum PCT levels were measured before procedure. Patients were classified as ISR(-) group (n = 120) and ISR(+) group (n = 120). RESULTS Serum PCT levels were higher in the ISR (+) group (p < 0.001). At multivariate analysis, PCT (odds ratio [OR] 1.561; p = 0.012), stent length (OR: 1.089), stent diameter (OR: 0.141) and uric acid (OR: 1.465) were independent predictors of ISR. CONCLUSION Serum PCT is independently associated with ISR and increased PCT levels may provide useful information for the risk of BMS-ISR.

Abstract
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is associated with worse prognosis in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Early identification and intervention for patients with a high risk of CIN are very important to improve clinical outcomes. Inflammation plays important role in the development of CIN in the setting of ACS. The monocyte to high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR) is a novel inflammatory marker. Bleeding is also associated with worse prognosis in such patients. We aimed to investigate whether the preprocedural MHR had a predictive role for CIN development in such patients. In addition, using the thrombolysis in myocardial infarction classification, we aimed to assess whether there was any relationship between bleeding and CIN. A total of 647 patients (496 males; age: 63.3 ± 12.7 years) with ACS who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were included in the study. Seventy patients (10.8%) had developed CIN. Age, diabetes mellitus, contrast volume, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and MHR were independent predictors for CIN. Preprocedural MHR may be used as a simple marker of CIN. It may help with the early identification of patients with ACS who underwent PCI who are at high risk of CIN thus allowing the planning of protective measures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is one of the most serious complications in patients who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), especially in those with acute coronary syndrome. It has been shown that inflammation may play an important role in the pathophysiology of CI-AKI. HYPOTHESIS Inflammatory factors may play a predominant role in the prediction of CI-AKI in patients who undergo emergency PCI. METHODS Patients who underwent emergency PCI from 2013 to 2015 were consecutively enrolled and were divided into CI-AKI and non-CI-AKI groups. Logistic analysis was used to identify the risk factors of CI-AKI. Receiver operator characteristic curve analysis was performed to evaluate the area under the curve (AUC) and to establish the optimal cutoff. RESULTS A total of 1061 patients were included, and the CI-AKI rate was 5.47% (58/1061). Logistic analysis showed that the white blood cell (WBC) count (odds ratio [OR]: 1.103, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.018-1.195, P = 0.016), neutrophil (N) count (OR: 1.134, 95% CI: 1.045-1.232, P = 0.003), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (OR: 1.105, 95% CI: 1.044-1.169, P = 0.001), C-reactive protein (CRP) level (OR: 1.006, 95% CI: 1.001-1.011, P = 0.020), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level (OR: 1.099, 95% CI: 1.020-1.184, P = 0.013), and big endothelin-1 (ET-1) level (OR: 4.030, 95% CI: 1.989-8.165, P < 0.001) were all significant predictors for CI-AKI, as was the left ventricular ejection fraction and diuretic administration. The AUC of the big ET-1 level was the highest (0.793, 95% CI: 0.733-0.853), followed by the NLR (0.708, 95% CI: 0.641-0.774), hs-CRP level (0.705, 95% CI: 0.627-0.782), CRP level (0.684, 95% CI: 0.607-0.761), N count (0.655, 95% CI: 0.584-0.726), WBC count (0.620, 95% CI: 0.544-0.695), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (0.611, 95% CI: 0.527-0.695). CONCLUSIONS The WBC count, N count, NLR, CRP level, hs-CRP level, and big ET-1 level are all associated with an increased risk of CI-AKI, and among which, the big ET-1 level, NLR, and the hs-CRP level might have high predictive value for CI-AKI after an emergency PCI.

Abstract
We investigated the relationship between platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). We enrolled 5719 patients in 3 tertiary hospitals from January 2005 to December 2010. The PLR was calculated as the ratio of platelet to lymphocyte counts on admission. Serum creatinine level was measured before and within 72 hours after contrast medium administration. To evaluate the relation between PLR and CIN, the 5719 patients were divided into a CIN group and a non-CIN group. Contrast-induced nephropathy occurred in 252 (4.4%) patients. Patients in the CIN group had significantly higher PLR than those in the non-CIN group (173.8 [62.3] and 116.2 [51.7], respectively; P < .001). In logistic regression analysis, PLR was an independent predictor of CIN (odds ratio: 1.432, 95% confidence interval: 1.205-1.816, P = .031), along with age, diabetes mellitus, creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio. In conclusion, a higher PLR was an independent risk factor for the development of CIN in patients with STEMI undergoing pPCI.

Predictive Value of CHA2DS2-VASC Score for Contrast-Induced Nephropathy After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Acute Coronary Syndrome. Am J Cardiol 2017; 119:819-825. [PMID: 28040187 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2016.11.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2016] [Revised: 11/14/2016] [Accepted: 11/14/2016] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
The CHA2DS2-VASC score, used for embolic risk stratification in atrial fibrillation (AF), has been reported recently to predict adverse clinical outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), regardless of having AF. We investigated the correlation between the CHA2DS2-VASC score and contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients with ACS who underwent urgent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). A total of 1,408 patients were enrolled in the study. The CHA2DS2-VASC score was calculated for each patient. Based on the receiver operating characteristic analysis, the study population was divided into 2 groups: CHA2DS2-VASC score ≤3 group (n = 944) and CHA2DS2-VASC score ≥4 group (n = 464). Patients were then reallocated to 2 groups according to the presence or absence of CIN. CIN was defined as a rise in serum creatinine >0.5 mg/dl or >25% increase in baseline within 72 hours after PCI. Overall, 159 cases (11.3%) of CIN were diagnosed. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed good diagnostic value of CHA2DS2-VASC score in predicting CIN (area under the curve 0.769, 95% confidence interval 0.733 to 0.805; p <0.001). When patients with a CHA2DS2-VASC score of ≥4 were compared with those with a CHA2DS2-VASC score of ≤3, patients with high score had a higher frequency of CIN (23.9% vs 5.1%; p <0.001), and multivariate analysis identified the CHA2DS2-VASC score of ≥4 as an independent predictor of CIN. In conclusion, CHA2DS2-VASC score can be used as a new, simple, and reliable tool to predict CIN in patients with ACS who underwent urgent PCI.

Abstract
Background Procalcitonin (PCT) is a well-known prognostic marker after elective cardiac surgery. However, the impact of elevated PCT in patients with an initially uneventful postoperative course is still unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate PCT levels as a prognostic tool for delayed complications after elective cardiac surgery. Methods A prospective study was performed in 751 patients with an apparently uneventful postoperative course within the first 24 h after elective cardiac surgery. Serum PCT concentration was taken the morning after surgery. All patients were screened for the occurrence of delayed complications. Delayed complications were defined by in-hospital death, intensive care unit readmission, or prolonged length of hospital stay (>12 days). Odds ratios (OR) [with 95% confidence interval (CI)] were calculated by logistic regression analyses and adjusted for confounders. Predictive capacity of PCT for delayed complications was calculated by ROC analyses. The cutoff value of PCT was derived from the Youden Index calculation. Results Among 751 patients with an initially uneventful postoperative course, 117 patients developed delayed complications. Serum PCT levels the first postoperative day were significantly higher in these 117 patients (8.9 ng/ml) compared to the remaining 634 (0.9 ng/ml; p < 0.001). ROC analyses showed that PCT had a high accuracy to predict delayed complications (optimal cutoff value of 2.95 ng/ml, AUC of 0.90, sensitivity 73% and specificity 97%). Patients with PCT levels above 2.95 ng/ml the first postoperative day had a highly increased risk of delayed complications (adjusted OR, 110.2; 95% CI 51.5–235.5; p < 0.001). Conclusions A single measurement of PCT seems to be a useful tool to identify patients at risk of delayed complications despite an initially uneventful postoperative course.

Abstract
The SYNTAX score (SX score) is a useful score for assessing the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). Previous studies have demonstrated a close relationship between SX score and inflammation. Procalcitonin (PCT) is an early inflammatory marker, especially during sepsis. Thus, in this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between SX score and serum PCT levels. A total of 545 patients were enrolled in this prospective cross-sectional study and were divided into 2 subgroups, according to their SX score. Serum PCT and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels were measured. Serum PCT levels were higher in the high SX score group compared to the low–intermediate SX score group ( P < .001). Serum PCT levels were an independent predictor of a high SX score in patients with acute coronary syndrome ( P = .001). As patients with a higher SX score had increased serum PCT levels on admission, serum PCT may be useful for identifying patients with severe CAD.

Abstract
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is common in hospitalized patients. Its occurrence is associated with an increased hospitalization stay and cost, morbidity and mortality. Thus, preventives strategies remain a major issue. Patients that are referred for cardiac catheterization are among the most vulnerable to develop CIN due to their comorbidities. Moreover, in some cases, such preventives measures cannot be introduced due to emergent clinical settings. After a summary regarding the properties of iodinated contrast medium, the aim of this work was to review the definition, pathophysiology, diagnosis and preventive strategies related to CIN.
