Abstract
Background: This study aimed to determine whether novel and conventional cardiorenal biomarkers in patients before transcatheter aortic valve implantation may be associated with cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) type 1. Methods: Serum NT-proBNP and urine biomarkers (hepcidin-25, NGAL, IL-6) were measured before and 24 h after transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Results: 16/95 patients had CRS type 1. Those patients had longer length of stay in hospital (12.5 [9.0-16.0] vs 9.0 [8-12] days; p = 0.025) and were more frequently readmitted to hospital within 6 months after discharge (46.7 vs 15.6%; odds ratio: 4.7; 95% CI: 1.5-15.5; p = 0.007). The NT-proBNP/urine hepcidin-25 ratio (odds ratio: 2.89; 95% CI: 1.30-6.41; p = 0.009) was an independent modifier of CRS type 1. Conclusion: The NT-proBNP/urine hepcidin-25 ratio appears to be a modifier of risk of CRS type 1.

Abstract
Vesicoureteral reflux represents one of the most concerning topics in pediatric nephrology due to its frequency, clinical expression with the potential to evolve into chronic kidney disease, and last but not least, its socio-economic implications. The presence of vesicoureteral reflux, the occurrence of urinary tract infections, and the development of reflux nephropathy, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and finally, end-stage renal disease represent a progressive spectrum of a single physiopathological condition. For the proper management of these patients with the best clinical outcomes, and in an attempt to prevent the spread of uropathogens' resistance to antibacterial therapy, we must better understand the physiopathology of urinary tract infections in patients with vesicoureteral reflux, and at the same time, we should acknowledge the implication and response of the innate immune system in this progressive pathological condition. The present paper focuses on theoretical aspects regarding the physiopathology of vesicoureteral reflux and the interconditionality between urinary tract infections and the innate immune system. In addition, we detailed aspects regarding cytokines, interleukins, antimicrobial peptides, and proteins involved in the innate immune response as well as their implications in the physiopathology of reflux nephropathy. New directions of study should focus on using these innate immune system effectors as diagnostic and therapeutic tools in renal pathology.

Abstract
Background Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and hepcidin-25 are involved in catalytic iron-related kidney injury after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. We explored the predictive value of plasma NGAL, plasma hepcidin-25, and the plasma NGAL:hepcidin-25 ratio for major adverse kidney events (MAKE) after cardiac surgery. Methods We compared the predictive value of plasma NGAL, hepcidin-25, and plasma NGAL:hepcidin-25 with that of serum creatinine (Cr) and urinary output and protein for primary-endpoint MAKE (acute kidney injury [AKI] stages 2 and 3, persistent AKI >48 hours, acute dialysis, and in-hospital mortality) and secondary-endpoint AKI in 100 cardiac surgery patients at intensive care unit (ICU) admission. We performed ROC curve, logistic regression, and reclassification analyses. Results At ICU admission, plasma NGAL, plasma NGAL:hepcidin-25, plasma interleukin-6, and Cr predicted MAKE (area under the ROC curve [AUC]: 0.77, 0.79, 0.74, and 0.74, respectively) and AKI (0.73, 0.89, 0.70, and 0.69). For AKI prediction, plasma NGAL:hepcidin-25 had a higher discriminatory power than Cr (AUC difference 0.26 [95% CI 0.00-0.53]). Urinary output and protein, plasma lactate, C-reactive protein, creatine kinase myocardial band, and brain natriuretic peptide did not predict MAKE or AKI (AUC <0.70). Only plasma NGAL:hepcidin-25 correctly reclassified patients according to their MAKE and AKI status (category-free net reclassification improvement: 0.82 [95% CI 0.12-1.52], 1.03 [0.29-1.77]). After adjustment to the Cleveland risk score, plasma NGAL:hepcidin-25 ≥0.9 independently predicted MAKE (adjusted odds ratio 16.34 [95% CI 1.77-150.49], P=0.014). Conclusions Plasma NGAL:hepcidin-25 is a promising marker for predicting postoperative MAKE.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious complication in hospitalized patients, which continues to pose a clinical challenge for treating physicians. The most recent Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes practice guidelines for AKI have restated the importance of earliest possible detection of AKI and adjusting treatment accordingly. Since the emergence of initial studies examining the use of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and cycle arrest biomarkers, tissue inhibitor metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP7), for early diagnosis of AKI, a vast number of studies have investigated the accuracy and additional clinical benefits of these biomarkers. As proposed by the Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative, new AKI diagnostic criteria should equally utilize glomerular function and tubular injury markers for AKI diagnosis. In addition to refining our capabilities in kidney risk prediction with kidney injury biomarkers, structural disorder phenotypes referred to as "preclinical-" and "subclinical AKI" have been described and are increasingly recognized. Additionally, positive biomarker test findings were found to provide prognostic information regardless of an acute decline in renal function (positive serum creatinine criteria). We summarize and discuss the recent findings focusing on two of the most promising and clinically available kidney injury biomarkers, NGAL and cell cycle arrest markers, in the context of AKI phenotypes. Finally, we draw conclusions regarding the clinical implications for kidney risk prediction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES All patients who undergo cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) experience some degree of ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI). Severe IRI-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in approximately 1-2% of patients undergoing CPB. Previous studies using activity-based protein profiling of urine identified group XV phospholipase A2, PLA2G15/LPLA2, as potentially associated with patients who develop AKI post CPB. The present study examined urinary PLA2G15/LPLA2 activity during CPB and in the near postoperative period for associations with subsequent AKI development. DESIGN & METHODS Samples were collected in a nested case controlled cohort of 21 patients per group who either did (AKI) or did not (non-AKI) develop AKI post-operatively. Serum and urine samples from each patient before, during and after CPB were assayed for PLA2G15/LPLA2 activity. RESULTS Urine activity significantly increased during the intra operative period. In contrast the activities in paired sera were markedly decreased during CPB. There was no correlation between the serum and urine activity levels of patients. There were no significant differences in activity levels of PLA2G15/LPLA2 in the urine or sera from patients that did and did not develop AKI. CONCLUSIONS The lack of correlation between serum and urine activity levels suggests that the rapid intraoperative increases in PLA2G15/LPLA2 activity may originate from the kidney and as such offer an intraoperative indicator of early renal response to CPB associated stressors.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a very common condition with high morbidity and mortality, which can be seen in 5-7% of all hospitalized patients and in up to 57% of all intensive care unit admissions. Despite recent advances in clinical care, the prevalence of AKI has been shown to increase with virtually no change in mortality. AKI is a complex syndrome occurring in a variety of clinical settings. Early detection is crucial to prevent irreversible loss of renal function. The pathogenesis of AKI is highly multifactorial and complex, including vasoconstriction, reactive oxygen species formation, cell death, abnormal immune modulators and growth factors. Emerging evidence from both human and animal studies suggests that dysregulation of iron metabolism may play a potentially important role in AKI. Therefore, targeting the iron homeostasis may provide a new therapeutic intervention for AKI. New therapeutic strategies including iron chelation therapy, targeting iron metabolism related proteins and direct inhibitors of ferroptosis are imperative to improve the outcomes of patients. Taking into consideration the complexity of AKI, one intervention may not be enough for therapeutic success. Future preclinical studies in animal disease models followed by well-designed clinical trials should be conducted to extend findings from animal AKI models to humans.

Abstract
Iron is an essential element that is indispensable for life. The delicate physiological body iron balance is maintained by both systemic and cellular regulatory mechanisms. The iron-regulatory hormone hepcidin assures maintenance of adequate systemic iron levels and is regulated by circulating and stored iron levels, inflammation and erythropoiesis. The kidney has an important role in preventing iron loss from the body by means of reabsorption. Cellular iron levels are dependent on iron import, storage, utilization and export, which are mainly regulated by the iron response element-iron regulatory protein (IRE-IRP) system. In the kidney, iron transport mechanisms independent of the IRE-IRP system have been identified, suggesting additional mechanisms for iron handling in this organ. Yet, knowledge gaps on renal iron handling remain in terms of redundancy in transport mechanisms, the roles of the different tubular segments and related regulatory processes. Disturbances in cellular and systemic iron balance are recognized as causes and consequences of kidney injury. Consequently, iron metabolism has become a focus for novel therapeutic interventions for acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease, which has fuelled interest in the molecular mechanisms of renal iron handling and renal injury, as well as the complex dynamics between systemic and local cellular iron regulation.

Abstract
Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a major and serious complication in patients undergoing cardiac surgery and is independently associated with perioperative mortality and mortality. Therapeutic intervention aiming at reversing kidney dysfunction seems disappointing across multiple settings. Consequently, attention has shifted from treatment to prevention and early detection. The Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines have unified diagnostic standards mainly based on the serum creatinine (Scr) level or urine output, but neither marker is kidney specific. Efforts have been made to identify novel biomarkers with high sensitivity and specificity. The diagnostic capabilities of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and G1 cell cycle arrest biomarker as biomarkers have been confirmed in a large number of clinical trials. The utility of biomarkers of cardiac function and inflammation has been validated in clinical studies. Aiming to offer valuable information for further research, we summarize the progress in defining current markers relevant to CSA-AKI in the last three years.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The rarity of sensitive biomarkers for acute kidney injury (AKI) has impeded the timely therapy of AKI. Emerging evidence suggests that ion homeostasis may play pertinent roles in AKI. We aimed to screen out representative urinary ions and build a cardiac surgery-associated AKI indication model. METHODS We performed urinary ionomic analysis from patients undergoing cardiac surgeries in Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China (N = 261). By bioinformatics analysis, we identified differentially changed elements and established the AKI indication model we named the urinary ion index (UII). Follow-ups were performed to evaluate 30-day survival. RESULTS The concentrations of most ions dynamically changed whether a patient developed AKI or not. A significant number of differentially changed elements between AKI and non-AKI groups were detected, especially at 2 hours after cardiac surgery, based on which we generated UII, with the area under the curve of 0.815 ± 0.006 and a cut-off value of 1.24. UII was associated with need for renal replacement therapy, with an area under the curve of 0.83 at a cutoff value of 1.62. Kaplan-Meier and log-rank methods, as well as Cox proportional hazards model, reflected that patients in the UII > 1.24 group had significantly higher risk of mortality within 30 days after surgery (hazard ratio, 5.15; P = .0097 and hazard ratio, 3.56; P = .033) than the UII ≤ 1.24 group. CONCLUSIONS Our data demonstrate that UII appears to be a novel and valid index of early cardiac surgery-associated AKI. UII > 1.24 at 2 hours after surgery indicates high risk of AKI and less 30-day survival.

Abstract
Recent data suggest that the importance of hepcidin goes beyond its classical role in controlling systemic iron metabolism. Local hepcidins are emerging as important peptides for organ homeostasis in the brain, heart, blood vessels, and in cancer as well. Similarly, accumulating data indicate that hepcidin does seem to be an important factor in renal homeostasis. This review encompasses present knowledge concerning the role of hepcidin in renoprotection and its use as a biomarker of kidney diseases. Understanding the role of hepcidin in kidneys is important due to its relevance for kidney physiology and its potential therapeutic application in kidney pathologies. © 2018 BioFactors, 45(2):118-134, 2019.

Abstract
In physiological conditions, circulating iron can be filtered by the glomerulus and is almost completely reabsorbed by the tubular epithelium to prevent urinary iron wasting. Increased urinary iron concentrations have been associated with renal injury. However, it is not clear whether increased urinary iron concentrations in patients are the result of increased glomerular iron filtration and/or insufficient tubular iron reabsorption and if these processes contribute to renal injury. We measured plasma and urine iron parameters and urinary tubular injury markers in healthy human subjects ( n = 20), patients with systemic iron overload ( n = 20), and patients with renal tubular dysfunction ( n = 18). Urinary iron excretion parameters were increased in both patients with systemic iron overload and tubular dysfunction, whereas plasma iron parameters were only increased in patients with systemic iron overload. In patients with systemic iron overload, increased urinary iron levels were associated with elevated circulating iron, as indicated by transferrin saturation (TSAT), and increased body iron, as suggested by plasma ferritin concentrations. In patients with tubular dysfunction, enhanced urinary iron and transferrin excretion were associated with distal tubular injury as indicated by increased urinary glutathione S-transferase pi 1-1 (GSTP1-1) excretion. In systemic iron overload, elevated urinary iron and transferrin levels were associated with increased injury to proximal tubules, indicated by increased urinary kidney injury marker 1 (KIM-1) excretion. Our explorative study demonstrates that both glomerular filtration of elevated plasma iron levels and insufficient tubular iron reabsorption could increase urinary iron excretion and cause renal injury.

Abstract
The processes involved in the initiation of acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are thought to occur during the intraoperative period. Such a rapid development might indicate that some of the inductive events are not dependent on de novo protein synthesis, raising the possibility that changes in activities of pre-existing enzymes could contribute to the development of AKI. Activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) was used to compare the serine hydrolase enzyme activities present in the urines of CPB patients who subsequently developed AKI versus those who did not (non-AKI) during the intra- and immediate postoperative periods. Sequential urines collected from a nested case-control cohort of AKI and non-AKI patients were reacted with a serine hydrolase activity probe, fluorophosphonate-TAMRA, and separated by SDS-PAGE. The patterns and levels of probe-labeled proteins in the two groups were initially comparable. However, within 1 h of CPB there were significant pattern changes in the AKI group. Affinity purification and mass spectrometry-based analysis of probe-labeled enzymes in AKI urines at 1 h CPB and arrival to the intensive care unit (ICU) identified 28 enzymes. Quantitative analysis of the activity of one of the identified enzymes, kallikrein-1, revealed some trends suggesting differences in the levels and temporal patterns of enzyme activity between a subset of patients who developed AKI and those who did not. A comparative analysis of affinity-purified probe reacted urinary proteins from these patient groups during the intraoperative period suggested the presence of both shared and unique enzyme patterns. These results indicate that there are intraoperative changes in the levels and types of serine hydrolase activities in patients who subsequently develop AKI. However, the role of these activity differences in the development of AKI remains to be determined.

J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2018; 157:287-297.e2. [PMID: 30195593 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtcvs.2018.06.091] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2018] [Revised: 06/23/2018] [Accepted: 06/28/2018] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Iron regulation is an important modifier of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury, but the role of iron-binding proteins during cardiopulmonary bypass remains unclear. The goal was to characterize iron-binding proteins throughout ischemia-reperfusion injury to determine their association with acute kidney injury development. METHODS A prospective observational cohort of adult patients who underwent cardiac surgery (n = 301) was obtained, and acute kidney injury was defined by Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes. Serum ferritin, transferrin saturation, and urine hepcidin-25 were measured. RESULTS Intraoperative serum ferritin was lower at the start of cardiopulmonary bypass (P = .005) and 1-hour cardiopulmonary bypass (P = .001) in patients with acute kidney injury versus patients without acute kidney injury. Lower serum ferritin and higher transferrin saturation at 1-hour cardiopulmonary bypass were independent predictors of acute kidney injury (serum ferritin odds ratio, 0.66; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.48-0.91; transferrin saturation odds ratio, 1.26; 95% CI, 1.02-1.55) and improved model discrimination (area under the curve [AUC], 0.76; 95% CI, 0.67-0.85) compared with clinical prediction alone (AUC, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.62-0.81; ΔAUC and net reclassification index, P = .01). Lower ferritin, higher transferrin saturation at 1-hour cardiopulmonary bypass, and lower urine hepcidin-25 at postoperative day 1 were also independent predictors for acute kidney injury development, and this model demonstrated an AUC of 0.80 (0.72-0.87), which was superior to clinical prediction (ΔAUC P = .002, integrated discrimination improvement and net reclassification index P = .003). CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that lower levels of intraoperative iron-binding proteins may reflect an impaired capacity to rapidly handle catalytic iron released during cardiopulmonary bypass, leading to kidney injury. These data highlight the importance of iron homeostasis in human ischemia-reperfusion injury and suggest it is a potentially modifiable risk during cardiac surgery. Intraoperative detection of incipient acute kidney injury may be feasible and could be used as an enrichment strategy for clinical trials.
