Abstract
Impaired kidney function is often associated with acute decompensation of chronic heart failure and portends a poor prognosis. Unfortunately, current data have demonstrated worse survival in patients with acute kidney injury than in patients with chronic kidney disease during durable LVAD placement as bridge therapy. Furthermore, end-stage heart failure patients undergoing combined heart-kidney transplantation have poorer short- and long-term survival than heart transplants alone. We evaluated the kidney function recovery in our heart failure population awaiting heart transplantation at our institution, supported by temporary Mechanical Circulatory Support (tMCS) with Impella 5.5. The protocol (#22004000) was approved by the Mayo Clinic institutional review board, after which we performed a retrospective review of all patients with acute on chronic heart failure and kidney disease in patients considered for only heart and kidney combined organ transplant and supported by tMCS between January 2020 and February 2021. Hemodynamic and kidney function trends were recorded and analyzed before and after tMCS placement and transplantation. After placement of tMCS, we observed a trend towards improvement in creatinine, Fick cardiac index, mixed venous saturation, and glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which persisted through transplantation and discharge. The average duration of support with tMCS was 16.5 days before organ transplantation. The median pre-tMCS creatinine was 2.1 mg/dL (IQR 1.75-2.3). Median hematocrit at the time of tMCS placement was 32% (IQR 32-34), and the median estimated glomerular filtration rate was 34 mL/min/BSA (34-40). The median GFR improved to 44 mL/min/BSA (IQR 45-51), and serum creatinine improved to 1.5 mg/dL (1.5-1.8) after tMCS. Median discharge creatinine was 1.1 mg/dL (1.19-1.25) with a GFR of 72 (65-74). None of these six patients supported with tMCS required renal replacement therapy after heart transplantation. Early adoption of Impella 5.5 in this patient population resulted in renal recovery without needing renal replacement therapies or dual organ transplantation and should be further evaluated.

Malaria is the leading cause of acute kidney injury among a Zambian paediatric renal service cohort retrospectively evaluated for aetiologies, predictors of the need for dialysis, and outcomes. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0293037. [PMID: 37878602 PMCID: PMC10599569 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0293037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/27/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Whilst malaria is a prominent aetiology associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) in many parts of Africa, a shift in the traditional AKI aetiologies has been witnessed in sections of the continent. Additionally, limited access to dialysis worsens patient outcomes in these low-resource settings. This retrospective cross-sectional study aimed to determine the associated aetiologies, predictors of need for dialysis and malaria-associated AKI (MAKI), and outcomes of AKI and dialysis among children evaluated by the renal service in Lusaka, Zambia. METHODS The study sampled all children aged 16 years or below, diagnosed with AKI between 2017 and 2021, by the renal unit at the University Teaching Hospitals- Children's Hospital (UTH-CH), and retrospectively abstracted their records for exposures and outcomes. AKI was defined using the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) 2012 criteria. Frequency and percentage distributions were used to describe the occurrence of AKI aetiologies and treatment outcomes. Predictors of the need for dialysis, MAKI, and poor treatment outcome were identified by using multivariable logistic regression models. RESULTS A total of 126 children diagnosed with AKI were included in this study. Malaria was the most frequent aetiology of AKI(61.1% (77/126, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 52.0%-69.7%)). Of the 126 children with AKI, 74.6% (94) underwent dialysis. Predictors of the need for dialysis were oliguria (p = 0.0024; Odds ratio (OR) = 7.5, 95% CI: 2.1-27.7) and anuria (p = 0.0211; OR = 6.4, 95% CI = 1.3, 30.7). A fifth (18.3%, 23/126) of the children developed chronic kidney disease (CKD), 5.6% (7/126) died and, a year later, 77% (97/126) were lost to follow-up. CONCLUSION At UTH-CH, malaria is the most frequent aetiology among children with AKI undergoing dialysis and children from low-medium malaria incidence areas are at risk; a considerable proportion of children with AKI need dialysis and Tenchoff catheter use in AKI is advocated.

[PMID: 35456262 PMCID: PMC9025742 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11082169] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2022] [Revised: 04/09/2022] [Accepted: 04/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Identification of different AKI recovery patterns may improve patient prognostic stratification. We investigated the clinical relevance of AKI recovery patterns among STEMI patients undergoing PCI. Methods: A retrospective study of 2943 STEMI patients undergoing PCI. The incidence of renal impairment, in-hospital complications, short and long-term mortality, were compared between patients without AKI, with early recovery defined as a return to baseline creatinine within 72 h, and no AKI recovery/delayed recovery defined as all other AKI cases. Results: A total of 255 (8.7%) patients developed AKI, of whom 124/255 (49%) patients had an early recovery, whereas 131/255 (51%) had no AKI recovery/delayed recovery. Patients without recovery were more likely to have in-hospital complications and higher long-term mortality (36.64% vs. 7.25%%; p < 0.001). In a multivariable regression model, the mortality hazard ratio (HR) for long term mortality remained significant for patients with no/delayed recovery AKI (HR 7.76, 95% CI 4.69 to 12.86, p < 0.001), and a strong trend among patients with resolving AKI (HR 2.09, 95% CI 0.933−4.687, p = 0.071). Conclusions: Among STEMI patients undergoing PCI, the recovery pattern of AKI is a valuable prognostic marker.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Renal replacement therapy (RRT) is used to manage critically ill patients with severe acute kidney injury (AKI-D), and it is undoubtedly life-sustaining for most patients. However, the prolonged unnecessary use of these techniques may be harmful. At present, no consensus guidelines provide specific recommendations for clinicians on when (optimal timing of discontinuation) and how (liberation or weaning) to stop RRT in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with recovering native kidney function.
Methods and results
Numerous variables such as clinical parameters, classical surrogate markers for glomerular filtration rate, novel biomarkers of kidney function and damage, and new imaging techniques in AKI-D have been described to predict successful discontinuation of RRT. Most available studies are limited by study design, heterogeneity of variable assessment and thresholds of biomarkers, and lack of prospective validation. At present, the decision on discontinuation of RRT in ICU patients is based on three clinical scenarios: (a) intrinsic kidney function (defined as spontaneous urine output > 500 ml/24 h, timed creatinine clearance > 15 to 20 ml/min) has adequately improved to match the demands and continued RRT is no longer consistent with goals of care (transition to intermittent RRT); (b) the acute illness that prompted RRT has improved; (c) the clinical practice of switching haemodynamic stable patients with persistent AKI-D from continuous RRTs to intermittent RRTs is variable, but de-escalation of RRT (frequency, dose) may facilitate mobilization and discharge of ICU patients.
Conclusions
The predictive ability of novel kidney biomarkers, surrogate markers of kidney function, and direct measurements of kidney function should be evaluated in future studies.

Evaluating kidney function using a point-of-care creatinine test in Ugandan children with severe malaria: a prospective cohort study. BMC Nephrol 2021; 22:369. [PMID: 34742257 PMCID: PMC8572470 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-021-02573-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2020] [Accepted: 10/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) disproportionately affects individuals in low-and middle-income countries (LMIC). However, LMIC—particularly countries in sub-Saharan Africa— are under-represented in global AKI research. A critical barrier in diagnosing AKI is access to reliable serum creatinine results. We evaluated the utility of a point-of-care test to measure creatinine and diagnose AKI in Ugandan children with malaria. Methods Paired admission creatinine was assessed in 539 Ugandan children 6 months to 4 years of age hospitalized with severe malaria based on blood smear or rapid diagnostic test. Creatinine levels were measured using isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS)-traceable methods. The reference creatinine was measured using the modified Jaffe method by a certified laboratory and the point-of-care testing was conducted using an i-STAT blood analyzer (i-STAT1, with and without adjustment for the partial pressure of carbon dioxide). AKI was defined and staged using the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria. Results The mean age of children was 2.1 years, and 21.6% of children were stunted. Mortality was 7.6% in-hospital. Over the entire range of measured creatinine values (<0.20mg/dL-8.4mg/dL), the correlation between the reference creatinine and adjusted and unadjusted point-of-care creatinine was high with R2 values of 0.95 and 0.93 respectively; however, the correlation was significantly lower in children with creatinine values <1mg/dL (R2 of 0.44 between the reference and adjusted and unadjusted i-STAT creatinine). The prevalence of AKI was 45.5% using the reference creatinine, and 27.1 and 32.3% using the unadjusted and adjusted point-of-care creatinine values, respectively. There was a step-wise increase in mortality across AKI stages, and all methods were strongly associated with mortality (p<0.0001 for all). AKI defined using the reference creatinine measure was the most sensitive to predict mortality with a sensitivity of 85.4% compared to 70.7 and 63.4% with the adjusted and unadjusted point-of-care creatinine values, respectively. Conclusions Point-of-care assessment of creatinine in lean Ugandan children <4 years of age underestimated creatinine and AKI compared to the clinical reference. Additional studies are needed to evaluate other biomarkers of AKI in LMIC to ensure equitable access to AKI diagnostics globally.

Biomarkers of persistent renal vulnerability after acute kidney injury recovery. Sci Rep 2021; 11:21183.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a risk factor for new AKI episodes, chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular events and death, as renal repair may be deficient and maladaptive, and activate proinflammatory and profibrotic signals. AKI and AKI recovery definitions are based on changes in plasma creatinine, a parameter mostly associated to glomerular filtration, but largely uncoupled from renal tissue damage. The evolution of structural and functional repair has been incompletely described. We thus aimed at identifying subclinical sequelae persisting after recovery from cisplatin-induced AKI in rats. Compared to controls, after plasma creatinine recovery, post-AKI kidneys showed histological alterations and attendant susceptibility to new AKI episodes. Tubular function (assessed by the furosemide stress test, FST) also remained affected. Lingering parenchymal and functional subclinical alterations were paralleled by tapering, but abnormally high levels of urinary albumin, transferrin, insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) and, especially, the [TIMP-2]*[IGFBP7] product. As subclinical surrogates of incomplete renal recovery, the FST and the urinary [TIMP-2]*[IGFBP7] product provide two potential diagnostic tools to monitor the sequelae and kidney vulnerability after the apparent recovery from AKI.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is emerging as a complication of increasing clinical importance associated with substantial morbidity and mortality in African children with severe malaria. Using the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria to define AKI, an estimated 24–59% of African children with severe malaria have AKI with most AKI community-acquired. AKI is a risk factor for mortality in pediatric severe malaria with a stepwise increase in mortality across AKI stages. AKI is also a risk factor for post-discharge mortality and is associated with increased long-term risk of neurocognitive impairment and behavioral problems in survivors. Following injury, the kidney undergoes a process of recovery and repair. AKI is an established risk factor for chronic kidney disease and hypertension in survivors and is associated with an increased risk of chronic kidney disease in severe malaria survivors. The magnitude of the risk and contribution of malaria-associated AKI to chronic kidney disease in malaria-endemic areas remains undetermined. Pathways associated with AKI pathogenesis in the context of pediatric severe malaria are not well understood, but there is emerging evidence that immune activation, endothelial dysfunction, and hemolysis-mediated oxidative stress all directly contribute to kidney injury. In this review, we outline the KDIGO bundle of care and highlight how this could be applied in the context of severe malaria to improve kidney perfusion, reduce AKI progression, and improve survival. With increased recognition that AKI in severe malaria is associated with substantial post-discharge morbidity and long-term risk of chronic kidney disease, there is a need to increase AKI recognition through enhanced access to creatinine-based and next-generation biomarker diagnostics. Long-term studies to assess severe malaria-associated AKI’s impact on long-term health in malaria-endemic areas are urgently needed.

Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) have become worldwide public health problems, but little information is known about the epidemiology of acute kidney disease (AKD)—a state in between AKI and CKD. We aimed to explore the incidence and outcomes of hospitalized patients with AKD after AKI, and investigate the prognostic value of AKD in predicting 30-day and one-year adverse outcomes. Methods A total of 2,556 hospitalized AKI patients were identified from three tertiary hospitals in China in 2015 and followed up for one year.AKD and AKD stage were defined according to the consensus report of the Acute Disease Quality Initiative 16 workgroup. Multivariable regression analyses adjusted for confounding variables were used to examine the association of AKD with adverse outcomes. Results AKD occurred in 45.4% (1161/2556) of all AKI patients, 14.5% (141/971) of AKI stage 1 patients, 44.6% (308/691) of AKI stage 2 patients and 79.6% (712/894) of AKI stage 3 patients. AKD stage 1 conferred a greater risk of Major Adverse Kidney Events within 30 days (MAKE30) (odds ratio [OR], 2.36; 95% confidence interval 95% CI [1.66–3.36]) than AKD stage 0 but the association only maintained in AKI stage 3 when patients were stratified by AKI stage. However, compared with AKD stage 0, AKD stage 2–3 was associated with higher risks of both MAKE30 and one-year chronic dialysis and mortality independent of the effects of AKI stage with OR being 31.35 (95% CI [23.42–41.98]) and 2.68 (95% CI [2.07–3.48]) respectively. The association between AKD stage and adverse outcomes in 30 days and one year was not significantly changed in critically ill and non-critically ill AKI patients. The results indicated that AKD is common among hospitalized AKI patients. AKD stage 2–3 provides additional information in predicting 30-day and one-year adverse outcomes over AKI stage. Enhanced follow-up of renal function of these patients may be warranted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Acute kidney injury is diagnosed according to creatinine and urine output criteria. Traditionally, both are applied, and a severity stage (1-3) is conferred based upon the more severe of the two; information from the other criteria is discarded. Physiologically, however, rising creatinine and oliguria represent two distinct types of renal dysfunction. We hypothesized that using the information from both criteria would more accurately characterize acute kidney injury severity and outcomes. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING Multicenter, international collaborative of ICUs. PATIENTS Three thousand four hundred twenty-nine children and young adults admitted consecutively to ICUs as part of the Assessment of the Worldwide Acute Kidney Injury, Renal Angina and Epidemiology Study. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes creatinine and urine output acute kidney injury criteria were applied sequentially, and the two stages were summed, generating an Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) Score ranging from 1 to 6. The primary outcome was 28-day mortality; secondary outcomes were time until ICU discharge and nonrecovery from acute kidney injury. Models considered associations with AKI Score, assessing the relationship unadjusted and adjusted for covariates. Twenty-eight-day mortality and nonrecovery from acute kidney injury were modeled using logistic regression. For 28-day ICU discharge, competing risks analysis was performed. Although AKI Scores 1-3 had similar mortality to no Acute Kidney Injury, AKI Scores 4-6 were associated with increased mortality. Relative to No Acute Kidney Injury, AKI Scores 1-6 were less likely to be discharged from the ICU within 28 days. Relative to AKI Score 1, AKI Scores 2-6 were associated with higher risk of nonrecovery. Within the traditional Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes Stage 3 acute kidney injury cohort, when compared with AKI Score 3, AKI Scores 4-6 had increased mortality, AKI Scores 5-6 had prolonged time to ICU discharge, and AKI Score 6 experienced higher nonrecovery rates. CONCLUSIONS Cumulative application of the creatinine and urine output criteria characterizes renal excretory and fluid homeostatic dysfunction simultaneously. This Acute Kidney Injury score more comprehensively describes the outcome implications of severe acute kidney injury than traditional staging methods.

Abstract
Over the past decade, the nephrology and critical care communities have adopted a consensus approach to diagnosing acute kidney injury (AKI) and, as a result, we have seen transformative changes in our understanding of pediatric AKI epidemiology. The data regarding outcomes among neonates and children who develop AKI have become far more robust and AKI has been clearly linked with an increased need for mechanical ventilation, longer inpatient stays, and higher mortality. Though AKI was historically thought to be self-limited, we now know that renal recovery is far from universal, particularly when AKI is severe; the absence of recovery from AKI also carries longitudinal prognostic implications. AKI survivors, especially those without full recovery, are at risk for chronic renal sequelae including proteinuria, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease. This review comprehensively describes AKI-related outcomes across the entire pediatric age spectrum, using the most rigorous studies to identify the independent effects of AKI events.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a commonly encountered syndrome associated with various aetiologies and pathophysiological processes leading to decreased kidney function. In addition to retention of waste products, impaired electrolyte homeostasis and altered drug concentrations, AKI induces a generalized inflammatory response that affects distant organs. Full recovery of kidney function is uncommon, which leaves these patients at risk of long-term morbidity and death. Estimates of AKI prevalence range from <1% to 66%. These variations can be explained by not only population differences but also inconsistent use of standardized AKI classification criteria. The aetiology and incidence of AKI also differ between high-income and low-to-middle-income countries. High-income countries show a lower incidence of AKI than do low-to-middle-income countries, where contaminated water and endemic diseases such as malaria contribute to a high burden of AKI. Outcomes of AKI are similar to or more severe than those of patients in high-income countries. In all resource settings, suboptimal early recognition and care of patients with AKI impede their recovery and lead to high mortality, which highlights unmet needs for improved detection and diagnosis of AKI and for efforts to improve care for these patients.

Renal injury and recovery in pediatric patients after ventricular assist device implantation and cardiac transplant. Pediatr Transplant 2019; 23:e13477.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of ventricular assist devices (VADs) in children with heart failure may be of particular benefit to those with accompanying renal failure, as improved renal function is seen in some, but not all recipients. We hypothesized that persistent renal dysfunction at 7 days and/or 1 month after VAD implantation would predict chronic kidney disease (CKD) 1 year after heart transplantation (HT). METHODS Linkage analysis of all VAD patients enrolled in both the PEDIMACS and PHTS registries between 2012 and 2016. Persistent acute kidney injury (P-AKI), defined as a serum creatinine ≥1.5× baseline, was assessed at post-implant day 7. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was determined at implant, 30 days thereafter, and 12 months post-HT. Pre-implant eGFR, eGFR normalization (to ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m2 ), and P-AKI were used to predict post-HT CKD (eGFR <90 mL/min/1.73 m2 ). RESULTS The mean implant eGFR was 85.4 ± 46.5 mL/min/1.73 m2 . P-AKI was present in 19/188 (10%). Mean eGFR at 1 month post-VAD implant was 131.1 ± 62.1 mL/min/1.73 m2 , significantly increased above baseline (P < 0.001). At 1 year post-HT (n = 133), 60 (45%) had CKD. Lower pre-implant eGFR was associated with post-HT CKD (OR 0.99, CI: 0.97-0.99, P = 0.005); P-AKI was not (OR 0.96, CI: 0.3-3.0, P = 0.9). Failure to normalize renal function 30 days after implant was highly associated with CKD at 1 year post-transplant (OR 12.5, CI 2.8-55, P = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS Renal function improves after VAD implantation. Lower pre-implant eGFR and failure to normalize renal function during the support period are risk factors for CKD development after HT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous studies have suggested a possible role for acute kidney injury (AKI) biomarkers in predicting renal recovery both before and after renal replacement therapy (RRT). However, definitions for recovery and whether to include patients dying but free of RRT may influence results. OBJECTIVES To validate plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (pNGAL) as a useful biomarker for predicting or improving the ability of clinical predictors alone to predict recovery following AKI, including in our model plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (pBNP) to account for cardiovascular events. METHODS We analyzed 69 patients enrolled in the Acute Renal Failure Trial Network study. pNGAL and pBNP were measured on days 2, 7, and 14. We analyzed their predictive ability for subsequent recovery, defined as alive and independent from dialysis in 60 days. In sensitivity analyses, we explored changes in results with alternative definitions of recovery. RESULTS Twenty-nine patients (42%) recovered from AKI. Neither pNGAL nor pBNP, alone or in combination, was accurate predictors of renal recovery-the best area under the receiver-operating characteristics curve (AUC) was for pNGAL using the largest relative change (AUC 0.59, 95% CI 0.45-0.74). The best clinical model achieved superior performance to biomarkers (AUC 0.69, 95% CI 0.56-0.81). The AUC was greatest (0.75, 95% CI 0.60-0.91) when pNGAL + pBNP on day 14 were added to the clinical model but this increase did not achieve statistical significance. However, integrated discrimination improvement analysis showed that the addition of pNGAL and pBNP on day 14 to the clinical model significantly improved the prediction of renal recovery (p = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS pNGAL and pBNP can improve the accuracy of clinical parameters in predicting AKI recovery and a full model using biomarkers together with age achieved adequate discrimination.

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.

Derivation and validation of plasma endostatin for predicting renal recovery from acute kidney injury: a prospective validation study. Crit Care 2018; 22:305.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with high morbidity and mortality in surgical patients. Nonrecovery from AKI may increase mortality and early risk stratification seems key to improving clinical outcomes. The aim of the current study was to explore and validate the value of endostatin for predicting failure to recover from AKI. METHODS We conducted a prospective cohort study of 198 patients without known chronic kidney disease who underwent noncardiac major surgery and developed new-onset AKI in the first 48 h after admission to the ICU. The biomarkers of plasma endostatin, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and cystatin C were detected immediately after AKI diagnosis. The primary endpoint was nonrecovery from AKI (within 7 days). Cutoff values of the biomarkers for predicting nonrecovery were determined in a derivation cohort (105 AKI patients). Predictive accuracy was then analyzed in a validation cohort (93 AKI patients). RESULTS Seventy-six of 198 (38.4%) patients failed to recover from AKI onset, with 41 in the derivation cohort and 35 in the validation cohort. Compared with NGAL and cystatin C, endostatin showed a better prediction for nonrecovery, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.776 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.654-0.892, p < 0.001) and an optimal cutoff value of 63.7 ng/ml. The predictive ability for nonrecovery was greatly improved by the prediction model combining endostatin with clinical risk factors of Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score and AKI classification, with an AUC of 0.887 (95% CI 0.766-0.958, p < 0.001). The value of the endostatin-clinical risk prediction model was superior to the NGAL-clinical risk and cystatin C-clinical risk prediction models in predicting failure to recover from AKI, which was supported by net reclassification improvement and integrated discrimination improvement. Further, the endostatin-clinical risk prediction model achieved sensitivity and specificity of 94.6% (76.8-99.1) and 72.7% (57.2-85.0), respectively, when validated in the validation cohort. CONCLUSION Plasma endostatin shows a useful value for predicting failure to recover from AKI. The predictive ability can be greatly improved when endostatin is combined with the SOFA score and AKI classification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most studies of long-term renal outcomes after acute critical illness have enrolled patients with pre-existing renal dysfunction. We assessed renal outcomes in patients who did not have pre-existing renal disease and who were admitted to hospital for acute critical illness. METHODS We identified adults who did not have pre-existing renal disease and who were admitted to hospital for acute critical illness between 2000 and 2011, from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. Each patient was matched 1:2 with controls without acute critical illness, according to age, sex and index date. A subset was further matched 1:1 with controls using propensity scores. Outcomes included acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. RESULTS We evaluated 33 613 patients with acute critical illness matched to 63 148 controls, of whom 14 218 were propensity matched to 14 218 controls. Patients with acute critical illness had incidence rates per 10 000 person-years of 9.45 for acute kidney injury, 78.3 for chronic kidney disease and 21.0 for end-stage renal disease. In the propensity-matched cohort, patients with acute critical illness had significantly higher risks of acute kidney injury (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 2.92, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.78-4.77), chronic kidney disease (aHR 1.81, 95% CI 1.57-2.08), and end-stage renal disease (aHR 3.60, 95% CI 2.50-5.18). Acute critical illness conferred higher mortality risk among patients who subsequently developed end-stage renal disease (aHR 3.37, 95% CI 2.07-5.49) or chronic kidney disease (aHR 2.16, 95% CI 1.67-2.80). INTERPRETATION Patients with acute critical illness and without pre-existing renal disease have a higher risk of adverse renal outcomes and subsequent mortality. A resolved episode of critical illness has implications for future renal function surveillance, even in patients without pre-existing renal disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite myriad improvements in the care of dengue patients, acute kidney injury (AKI) remained least appreciated intricacy of dengue infection. Exiting literature does not provide any information on renal outcomes among dengue patients surviving an episode of AKI. METHODS Dengue patients who developed AKI were followed up for post-discharge period of three months and renal recovery was assessed by using recovery criteria based on different thresholds of serum creatinine (SCr) and estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR). RESULTS Out of the 526 dengue participants, AKI was developed in 72 (13.7%) patients. Renal recovery was assessed among AKI survivors (n = 71). The use of less (±50% recovery to baseline) to more (±5% recovery to baseline) stringent definitions of renal recovery yielded recovery rates from 88.9% to 2.8% by SCr and 94.4% to 5.6% by eGFR, as renal function biomarkers. At the end of study, eight patients had AKI with AKIN-II (n = 7) and AKIN-III (n = 1). Approximately 50% patients (n = 36/71) with AKI had eGFR primitive to CKD stage 2, while 18.3% (n = 13/71) and 4.2% (n = 3/71) patients had eGFR corresponding to advanced stages of CKD (stage 3 & 4). Factors such as renal insufficiencies at hospital discharge, multiple organ involvements, advance age, female gender and diabetes mellitus were associated with poor renal outcomes. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that dengue patients with AKI portend unsatisfactory short-term renal outcomes and deserve a careful and longer follow-up, especially under nephrology care.

Increased urinary excretion of kynurenic acid is associated with non-recovery from acute kidney injury in critically ill patients. BMC Nephrol 2018; 19:44. [PMID: 29482511 PMCID: PMC5828079 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-018-0841-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2016] [Accepted: 02/12/2018] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is often observed in critically ill patients and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Non-recovery from AKI has a negative impact on the prognosis of affected patients and early risk stratification seems key to improve clinical outcomes. We analyzed metabolites of a conserved key inflammatory pathway (i.e. tryptophan degradation pathway) in serial urine samples of patients with AKI. Methods One hundred twelve ICU patients with AKI were included in a prospective observational analysis. After exclusion criteria, 92 patients were eligible for analysis. Serial urine samples were collected and tryptophan levels including key tryptophan metabolites were measured using tandem mass spectrometry. Results Sixty-seven patients recovered in the first 7 days of AKI (early recovery, ER) whereas n = 25 had late−/non-recovery (LNR). Urinary concentrations of tryptophan, kynurenine, 3-OH anthranillic acid, serotonine, and kynurenine/tryptophan were significantly lower in LNR patients. In contrast, creatinine normalized excretion of kynurenic acid (KynA) was substantially increased in LNR patients (7.59 ± 6.81 vs. 3.19 ± 3.44 (ER) μmol/mmol, p < 0.005). High urinary KynA excretion was associated with higher RIFLE class, longer AKI duration, increased need for RRT, and 30-day mortality. Logistic regression revealed KynA as the single most important predictor of renal recovery on days 1 and 2 of AKI. Conclusions Increased urinary levels of kynurenic acid, a key inflammatory metabolite of the tryprophan degradation pathway, are associated with adverse renal and clinical outcomes in critically ill patients with AKI. Urinary KynA may serve as an early risk stratificator in respective patients with AKI.

Abstract
Large epidemiologic studies in a variety of patient populations reveal increased morbidity and mortality that occur months to years after an episode of acute kidney injury (AKI). Even milder forms of AKI have increased associated morbidity and mortality. Residual confounding may account for these findings, but considering the huge number of individuals afflicted with AKI, the sequelae of AKI may be a very large public health burden. AKI may simply be a marker for increased risk, but there is increasing evidence that it is part of the causal pathway to chronic kidney disease. These studies have upended the traditional view that AKI survivors who returned to baseline, or near baseline renal function, do not suffer additional long-term consequences. Recovery of renal function after AKI, short of independence from renal replacement therapy, is yet to be clearly defined but may be of significant importance in the management of AKI survivors. The association between AKI in patients who undergo cardiac surgery and clinical outcomes is of considerable importance to clinicians, surgeons, and anesthesiologists alike and is a major focus of this review.

Abstract
Recovery patterns after acute kidney injury (AKI) have increasingly become the focus of research, because currently available preventive measures and specific therapeutic intervention are limited. Moreover, changes in renal functional reserve are recognized as a "hidden" indicator of kidney susceptibility to either acute kidney injury or chronic kidney disease. Understanding these phenomena and their association with outcome may enable the initiation of strategies that facilitate fast and sustained recovery during the time course of AKI and limit AKI progression towards chronic kidney disease. Different interventions may be required during various phases of AKI continuum. Early recognition and prevention of second hit by kidney stress, treatment of cause and prevention of aggravation in the early phase of AKI and facilitation of recovery in the phase of acute kidney disease may together represent the key aspects of modern AKI management.

Abstract
RATIONALE Little is known about how acute kidney injury (AKI) resolves, and whether patterns of reversal of renal dysfunction differ among patients with respect to ultimate recovery. OBJECTIVES We sought to examine different patterns for AKI reversal that are found in patients and assess how they relate to postdischarge outcomes. METHODS We studied 16,968 critically ill patients with Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes stage 2 or 3 AKI, using an electronic database. Reversal of AKI was defined as alive and no longer meeting criteria for even stage 1. Recovery was defined as reversal at hospital discharge. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS We observed five patterns. The most common (4,508; 26.6%) was early reversal that was sustained through discharge, but almost as many patients (4,496; 26.5%) had no reversal at all. The remaining patients had late reversal after Day 7 (9.7%); early reversal with one or more relapses, but with ultimate recovery (22.5%); and relapsing without recovery (14.7%). Outcomes for patients with these phenotypes were quite different, with age-adjusted 1-year survival varying from more than 90% for early reversal to less than 40% for patients never reversing. Relapses are common (37.3%), especially in the first 72 hours after reversal, and are associated with a fivefold increased risk for death by 1 year compared with early sustained reversal. CONCLUSIONS We have identified five distinct recovery phenotypes on the basis of the clinical course over the first week after AKI manifestation. These phenotypes may identify patients amenable to therapeutic intervention. Long-term outcomes are associated with recovery status at hospital discharge.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is increasingly common around the world. Because of the low availability of effective therapies and resource limitations, early preventive and therapeutic measures are essential to decrease morbidity, mortality, and cost. Timely recognition and diagnosis of AKI requires a heightened degree of suspicion in the appropriate clinical and environmental context. In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), early detection is impaired by limited resources and low awareness. In this article, we report the consensus recommendations of the 18th Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative meeting in Hyderabad, India, on how to improve recognition of AKI. We expect these recommendations will lead to an earlier and more accurate diagnosis of AKI, and improved research to promote a better understanding of the epidemiology, etiology, and histopathology of AKI in LMICs.

Abstract
Critical care physicians have debated an appropriate term for the clinical phase preceding acute kidney injury (AKI). The recent development of cell cycle arrest biomarkers that signal the potential development of AKI is part of an evolution in the molecular diagnosis and understanding of AKI. It is proposed that the pre-injury phase that leads to AKI can be described as “acute kidney stress”. This term has the potential to expand horizons in regard to the early detection of situations that will lead to AKI and the early implementation of corrective measures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether the progression and/or improvement of acute kidney injury in critically ill children is associated with mortality. DESIGN Retrospective. SETTING Multidisciplinary, tertiary care, 24-bed PICU. PATIENTS A TOTAL OF: 8,260 patients who were 1 month to 21 years old with no chronic kidney disease admitted between May 2003 and March 2012. INTERVENTIONS We analyzed patients based on their acute kidney injury stage as per the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes acute kidney injury serum creatinine staging criteria on ICU admission, peak (highest acute kidney injury stage reached), and trough (lowest acute kidney injury stage after the peak) during their ICU stay. Nonrenal organ dysfunction was measured with a modified Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction score. The primary outcome was 28-day mortality. p values were based on Yates-corrected chi-square test and logistic regression. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Of the 8,260 patients, 529 (6.4%) had acute kidney injury on ICU admission and 974 (11.8%) had acute kidney injury during their ICU course. The 28-day mortality was 2.7% for patients with no acute kidney injury and 25.3% for patients with acute kidney injury. Patients in whom acute kidney injury developed or had worsening acute kidney injury from admission to peak and reached acute kidney injury stage 2 or 3 had higher mortality than those who remained at an acute kidney injury stage 1 (17.3-17.8% vs 32.2-37.9%; p ≤ 0.003). Patients whose acute kidney injury resolved after the peak had lower mortality than those who retained the same degree of acute kidney injury (9-13.5% vs 37.3-44%; p ≤ 0.04). Patients with acute kidney injury that resolved still had higher mortality than those who never developed acute kidney injury (11.2% vs 2.7%; p < 0.001). Multivariate regression demonstrated that the association between mortality and acute kidney injury progression was independent of severity of illness at admission and the severity of nonrenal organ dysfunction during the first week of ICU stay (p ≤ 0.01). CONCLUSION Progression of acute kidney injury per the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes staging criteria is independently associated with increased mortality in the PICU while its improvement is associated with a stepwise decrease in mortality.

Abstract
Biomarkers for acute kidney injury have numerous potential roles to play both at the bedside and in the design and conduct of clinical trials. Given the heterogeneous nature of this disease and the difficulty, so far, in developing effective therapies, a strategy that deploys all of our available tools in the treatment and in study of treatments would seem prudent. In this review, we discuss how biomarkers will change the way we do we take care of patients with and do clinical trials in acute kidney injury and why, in fact, biomarkers are necessary.

Abstract
AKI requiring RRT is associated with high mortality, morbidity, and long-term consequences, including CKD and ESRD. Many patients never recover kidney function; in others, kidney function improves over a period of many weeks or months. Methodologic constraints of the available literature limit our understanding of the recovery process and hamper adequate intervention. Current management strategies have focused on acute care and short-term mortality, but new data indicate that long-term consequences of AKI requiring RRT are substantial. Promotion of kidney function recovery is a neglected focus of research and intervention. This lack of emphasis on recovery is illustrated by the relative paucity of research in this area and by the lack of demonstrated effective management strategies. In this article the epidemiologic implications of kidney recovery after AKI requiring RRT are discussed, the available literature and its methodologic constraints are reviewed, and strategies to improve the understanding of factors that affect kidney function recovery are proposed. Measures to promote kidney function recovery are a serious unmet need, with a great potential to improve short- and long-term patient outcomes.

Kidney Res Clin Pract 2015; 34:103-8. [PMID: 26484030 PMCID: PMC4570632 DOI: 10.1016/j.krcp.2015.03.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2014] [Revised: 02/24/2015] [Accepted: 03/21/2015] [Indexed: 01/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although emerging evidence suggests that intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) is a predictor of the development of acute kidney injury (AKI), it remains unclear whether the presence of IAH is a predictor of prognosis in patients with AKI. The purpose of this study was to assess whether the presence of IAH could predict prognosis in critically ill patients with AKI. The prognostic value of urinary biomarkers was also determined. METHODS In this prospective observational study, we enrolled 57 patients with established AKI, who were admitted to the intensive care unit between February 2012 and June 2014. IAH was defined as a sustained elevation in intra-abdominal pressure of ≥12 mmHg, in three consecutive measurements performed daily on the first 3 days. Urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), liver-type fatty acid-binding protein, and simplified acute physiology score II score at the time of admission were also examined. RESULTS IAH was observed in 78.9% of patients. The in-hospital mortality was 21.1%, and renal recovery during hospitalization was achieved in 40.4% of patients. Although high urinary NGAL [odds ratio (OR), 1.015] and liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (OR, 1.003) were found to be independent predictors of renal recovery, IAH was not. High urinary NGAL (OR, 1.003) and a high simplified acute physiology score II score (OR, 1.102) were independent predictors of in-hospital mortality, while IAH or urinary liver-type fatty acid-binding protein was not. CONCLUSION Although IAH is prevalent in critically ill patients with AKI, it did not predict AKI prognosis. However, urinary NGAL was found to be a useful predictor of both renal recovery and in-hospital mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In acute coronary syndromes (ACS), serum creatinine (sCr) levels have short- and long-term prognostic value. However, it is possible that repeated evaluations of sCr during hospitalization, rather than measuring sCr value at admission only, might improve risk assessment. We investigated the relationship between sCr baseline value, its changes, and in-hospital mortality in patients hospitalized with ACS. METHODS In 2,756 ACS patients, sCr was measured at hospital admission and then daily, until discharge from coronary care unit. Patients were grouped according to the maximum sCr change observed: <0.3 mg/dL change from baseline (stable renal function [SRF] group), ≥0.3 mg/dL decrease (improved renal function [IRF] group), and ≥0.3 mg/dL increase (worsening renal function [WRF] group). RESULTS Of the 2,756 patients, 2,163 (78%) had SRF, 292 (11%) had IRF, and 301 (11%) had WRF. In-hospital mortality in the 3 groups was 0.5%, 2%, and 14% (P < .001), respectively. Peak sCr value was a more powerful predictor of mortality (area under the curve 0.86, 95% CI 0.81-0.92) than the initial sCr value (area under the curve 0.69, 95% CI 0.63-0.77; P < .001). When sCr and its change patterns during coronary care unit stay were evaluated together, improved mortality risk stratification was found. CONCLUSIONS In ACS patients, daily sCr value and its change pattern are stronger predictors of in-hospital mortality than the initial sCr value only; thus, their combined evaluation provides a more accurate and dynamic stratification of patients' risk. Finally, the intermediate mortality risk of IRF patients possibly reflects acute kidney injury started before hospitalization.

Abstract
The recent recognition that acute kidney injury (AKI) may lead to the development of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease, with the attendant increase in mortality, has led to interest in the clinical epidemiology and the mechanistic understanding of renal recovery after an episode of AKI. At present, no uniform definition for recovery after AKI exists and various considerations should be taken into account in the development of a definition. Renal recovery after an AKI episode may affect clinical decision making around the initiation of renal replacement therapy, and has significant implication for biomarker assessment and identification of mechanistic targets to guide potential future clinical trials.

Abstract
While the field of acute kidney injury (AKI) research has undergone exponential growth over the past 15 years, the topic of renal recovery has only recently garnered much attention. Both lack of standardized renal recovery definitions and lack of systematic assessment of AKI survivors for chronic kidney disease development pose barriers to the complete understanding of the renal recovery epidemiology. In addition, evaluation of pediatric AKI renal recovery is further complicated by the potential AKI effects on renal development as well as a relatively greater renal reserve for younger children. The aims of this review are to review the current state of knowledge in pediatric AKI renal recovery.
