Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To provide an overview of the current diagnostic criteria for acute kidney injury (AKI) including their limitations and to discuss prevention and treatment approaches in the perioperative setting. RECENT FINDINGS AKI is common in the perioperative period and is associated with worse short- and long-term outcomes. Current definitions of AKI have several limitations and lead to delayed recognition of kidney dysfunction which is why novel diagnostic approaches by using renal biomarkers may be helpful. In general, prevention of the development and progression of AKI is vital as a causal treatment for AKI is currently not available. Optimization of kidney perfusion and avoidance of nephrotoxic drugs reduce the occurrence of AKI in surgical patients. Angiotensin II as a new vasopressor, the use of remote ischemic preconditioning, and amino acids may be approaches with a positive effect on the kidneys. SUMMARY Evidence suggests that the implementation of supportive measures in patients at high risk for AKI might reduce the occurrence of AKI. Novel biomarkers can help allocating resources by detecting patients at high risk for AKI.

Abstract
PURPOSE Novel interventions for the prevention or treatment of acute kidney injury (AKI) are currently lacking. To facilitate the evaluation and adoption of new treatments, the use of the most appropriate design and endpoints for clinical trials in AKI is critical and yet there is little consensus regarding these issues. We aimed to develop recommendations on endpoints and trial design for studies of AKI prevention and treatment interventions based on existing data and expert consensus. METHODS At the 31st Acute Disease Quality Initiative (ADQI) meeting, international experts in critical care, nephrology, involving adults and pediatrics, biostatistics and people with lived experience (PWLE) were assembled. We focused on four main areas: (1) patient enrichment strategies, (2) prevention and attenuation studies, (3) treatment studies, and (4) innovative trial designs of studies other than traditional (parallel arm or cluster) randomized controlled trials. Using a modified Delphi process, recommendations and consensus statements were developed based on existing data, with > 90% agreement among panel members required for final adoption. RESULTS The panel developed 12 consensus statements for clinical trial endpoints, application of enrichment strategies where appropriate, and inclusion of PWLE to inform trial designs. Innovative trial designs were also considered. CONCLUSION The current lack of specific therapy for prevention or treatment of AKI demands refinement of future clinical trial design. Here we report the consensus findings of the 31st ADQI group meeting which has attempted to address these issues including the use of predictive and prognostic enrichment strategies to enable appropriate patient selection.

Br J Anaesth 2024; 133:264-276.

Abstract
Arterial pressure monitoring and management are mainstays of haemodynamic therapy in patients having surgery. This article presents updated consensus statements and recommendations on perioperative arterial pressure management developed during the 11th POQI PeriOperative Quality Initiative (POQI) consensus conference held in London, UK, on June 4-6, 2023, which included a diverse group of international experts. Based on a modified Delphi approach, we recommend keeping intraoperative mean arterial pressure ≥60 mm Hg in at-risk patients. We further recommend increasing mean arterial pressure targets when venous or compartment pressures are elevated and treating hypotension based on presumed underlying causes. When intraoperative hypertension is treated, we recommend doing so carefully to avoid hypotension. Clinicians should consider continuous intraoperative arterial pressure monitoring as it can help reduce the severity and duration of hypotension compared to intermittent arterial pressure monitoring. Postoperative hypotension is often unrecognised and might be more important than intraoperative hypotension because it is often prolonged and untreated. Future research should focus on identifying patient-specific and organ-specific hypotension harm thresholds and optimal treatment strategies for intraoperative hypotension including choice of vasopressors. Research is also needed to guide monitoring and management strategies for recognising, preventing, and treating postoperative hypotension.

Abstract
Purpose of this review Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complex syndrome whose development is associated with an increased morbidity and mortality. Recent studies show that this syndrome is a common complication in critically ill and surgical patients the trajectory of which may differ. As AKI can be induced by different triggers, it is complex and therefore challenging to manage patients with AKI. This review strives to provide a brief historical perspective on AKI, elucidate recent developments in diagnosing and managing AKI, and show the current usage of novel biomarkers in both clinical routine and research. In addition, we provide a perspective on potential future developments and their impact of AKI understanding and management. Recent findings/developments Recent studies show the merits of stress and damage biomarkers, highlighting limitations of the current KDIGO definition that only uses the functional biomarkers serum creatinine and urine output. The use of novel biomarkers led to the introduction of the concept of "subclinical AKI". This new classification may allow a more distinct management of affected or at risk patients. Ongoing studies, such as BigpAK-2 and PrevProgAKI, investigate the implementation of biomarker-guided interventions in clinical practice and may demonstrate an improvement in patients' outcome. Summary The ongoing scientific efforts surrounding AKI have deepened our understanding of the syndrome prompting an expansion of existing concepts. A future integration of stress and damage biomarkers in AKI management, may lead to an individualized therapy in this area.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acute kidney injury (AKI) defined by a substantial decrease in kidney function within hours to days and is often irreversible with higher risk to chronic kidney disease (CKD) transition. AREAS COVERED The authors discuss the diagnostic and predictive utilities of serum and urinary biomarkers on AKI and on the risk of AKI-to-CKD progression. The authors focus on the relevant literature covering evidence of circulating and urinary biomarkers' capability to predict the transition of AKI to CKD. EXPERT OPINION Based on the different modalities of serum and urinary biomarkers, multiple biomarker panel seems to be potentially useful to distinguish between various types of AKI, to detect the severity and the risk of AKI progression, to predict the clinical outcome and evaluate response to the therapy. Serum/urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), serum/urinary uromodulin, serum extracellular high mobility group box-1 (HMGB-1), serum cystatin C and urinary liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) were the most effective in the prediction of AKI-to-CKD transition regardless of etiology and the presence of critical state in patients. The current clinical evidence on the risk assessments of AKI progression is mainly based on the utility of combination of functional, injury and stress biomarkers, mainly NGAL, L-FABP, HMGB-1 and cystatin C.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Renal ischemia reperfusion injury is a major cause of perioperative acute kidney injury. Alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT), a protease inhibitor, might improve outcomes by reducing inflammation and apoptosis. We investigated the effects of a single intravenous dose of AAT immediately before ischemia in a rat bilateral renal clamping model. METHODS Both renal pedicles of male Sprague-Dawley rats were clamped (45 min). Plasma and renal tissue were collected at 3 h, 24 h, and 7 d. Intravenous AAT (60 mg/kg) was administered 5 min before clamping. Controls received saline. Shams underwent surgery without clamping or injection. Kidney function was assessed by plasma creatinine; injury by aspartate aminotransferase, heart-type-fatty-acid-binding-protein, and histopathology. Renal gene expression of tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin (IL)-6, heat shock protein 70, Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 2, cyclo-oxygenase 2, endothelin-1, IL-10, heme oxygenase 1, B-cell lymphoma 2, and bcl-2-like protein 4 were determined by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS None of the 3 h and 24 h end points were different between Control and AAT. In Sham, survival was 100% (6/6), 33% in Control (2/6), and 83% (5/6) in AAT (overall log-rank 0.03). At 7 d, plasma creatinine was lower with higher glomerular filtration rate in surviving AAT treated animals compared to Control (P < 0.001, P 0.03, respectively). These also had lower tumor necrosis factor α and IL-6 gene expression (P 0.001, P < 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that a single intravenous dose of AAT immediately before ischemia might affect proinflammatory gene expression, glomerular filtration rate and animal survival at 1 wk after reperfusion despite an absence of improvement in early renal function and injury. These findings deserve further investigating in sufficiently powered studies including both sexes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative acute kidney injury (PO-AKI) is a frequent complication after surgery. Various tools have been proposed to identify patients at high risk for AKI, including preoperative serum creatinine or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urinary cell cycle arrest, and tubular damage biomarkers; however, none of these can appropriately assess AKI risk before surgery. Renal functional reserve (RFR) screened by the Doppler-derived intraparenchymal renal resistive index variation (IRRIV) test has been proposed to identify patients at risk for AKI before a kidney insult. IRRIV test has been developed in healthy individuals and previously investigated in cardiac surgery patients. This study aims to evaluate the value of the IRRIV test in identifying PO-AKI among patients undergoing robotic abdominal surgery in the Trendelenburg position for pelvic oncological disease. METHODS We performed a prospective, double-blinded, observational study. Preoperative baseline renal function and RFR were assessed in 53 patients with baseline eGFR >60 mL/min/1.73 m2, undergoing robotic surgery in the Trendelenburg position for pelvic oncological disease. The capability of Doppler-derived RFR in predicting PO-AKI was investigated with the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC-AUC). RESULTS Approximately 15.1% of patients developed AKI within the first 3 postoperative days. Thirty-one (58.5%) patients had a physiologic delta-RRI (ie, ≥0.05), while 22 (41.5%) patients did not. The ROC-AUC for PO-AKI was 0.85 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.74-0.97; P = .007) for serum creatinine, 0.84 (95% CI, 0.71-0.96; P = .006) for eGFR, and 0.84 (95% CI, 0.78-0.91; P = .017) for delta-RRI. When combined with eGFR, the ROC-AUC for delta-RRI was 0.95 (95% CI, 0.9-1). CONCLUSIONS Our findings show that the preoperative assessment of Doppler-derived RFR combined with baseline renal function improves the capability of identifying patients at high risk for PO-AKI with eGFR >60 mL/min/1.73 m2 after robotic abdominal surgery in Trendelenburg position for pelvic oncological disease.

Abstract
Digitalization is increasingly finding its way into intensive care units and with it artificial intelligence (AI) for critically ill patients. One promising area for the use of AI is in the field of acute kidney injury (AKI). The use of AI is primarily focused on the prediction of AKI, but further approaches are also being used to classify existing AKI into different phenotypes. Different AI models are used for prediction. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve values (AUROC) achieved with these models vary and are influenced by several factors, such as the prediction time and the definition of AKI. Most models have an AUROC between 0.650 and 0.900, with lower values for predictions further into the future and when applying Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) instead of KDIGO criteria. Classification into phenotypes already makes it possible to categorize patients into groups with different risks of mortality or requirement of renal replacement therapy (RRT), but the etiologies or therapeutic consequences derived from this are still lacking. However, all the models suffer from AI-specific shortcomings. The use of large databases does not make it possible to promptly include recent changes in therapy and the implementation of new biomarkers in a relevant proportion. For this reason, serum creatinine and urinary output, with their known limitations, dominate current AI models for prediction impairing the performance of the current models. On the other hand, the increasingly complex models no longer allow physicians to understand the basis on which the warning of a threatening AKI is calculated and subsequent initiation of therapy should take place. The successful use of AIs in routine clinical practice will be highly determined by the trust of the physicians in the systems and overcoming the aforementioned weaknesses. However, the clinician will remain irreplaceable as the decisive authority for critically ill patients by combining measurable and nonmeasurable parameters.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common clinical condition with various causes and is associated with increased mortality. Despite advances in supportive care, AKI increases not only the risk of premature death compared with the general population but also the risk of developing chronic kidney disease and progressing towards kidney failure. Currently, no specific therapy exists for preventing or treating AKI other than mitigating further injury and supportive care. To address this unmet need, novel therapeutic interventions targeting the underlying pathophysiology must be developed. New and well-designed clinical trials with appropriate end points must be subsequently designed and implemented to test the efficacy of such new interventions. Herein, we discuss predictive and prognostic enrichment strategies for patient selection, as well as primary and secondary end points that can be used in different clinical trial designs (specifically, prevention and treatment trials) to evaluate novel interventions and improve the outcomes of patients at a high risk of AKI or with established AKI.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury remains a common and significant contributor to perioperative morbidity. Acute kidney injury worsens patient outcomes, and anesthesiologists should make significant efforts to prevent, assess, and treat perioperative renal injury. The authors discuss the impact of renal injury on patient outcomes and putative underlying mechanisms, evidence underlying treatments for acute kidney injury, and practices that may prevent the development of perioperative renal injury.

Abstract
Traditionally, the workflow surrounding a general surgery patient allows for a period of evaluation and optimization of underlying medical issues to allow for risk modification; however, in the emergency, this optimization period is largely condensed because of its time-dependent nature. Because the lack of optimization can lead to complications, the ability to rapidly resuscitate the patient, proceed to procedural intervention to control the situation, and manage common medical comorbidities is paramount. This article provides an overview on these subjects.

Abstract
Background Among the different types of perioperative organ injury, acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs frequently and is consistently associated with increased rates of mortality and mortality. Despite development of many clinical trials to assess perioperative interventions, reliable means to prevent or reverse AKI are still lacking. Objectives This narrative review discusses recent literature on modifiable risk factors, current approaches to prevention and potential directions for future research. Methods A Pubmed search with the relevant keywords was done for articles published in the last 10 years. Results New insights into preoperative identification and optimisation, intraoperative strategies, including the choice of anaesthetic, haemodynamic and fluid management, have been made, with the aim of preventing perioperative AKI. Conclusion A patient-centric multidisciplinary approach is essential to protect kidney function of patients going for surgery. Much can be done by anaesthesiologists perioperatively, to reduce the risk of development of AKI, especially in susceptible patients. There is a need for further multicentred trials to enhance the currently generic perioperative recommendations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of albumin use during major surgery is unknown, and a dearth of evidence governing its use in major noncardiac surgery has long precluded its standardization in clinical guidelines. OBJECTIVE In this study, we investigate institutional variation in albumin use among medical centers in the United States during major noncardiac surgery and explore the association of intraoperative albumin administration with important postoperative outcomes. METHODS The study is an observational retrospective cohort analysis performed among 54 U.S. hospitals in the Multicenter Perioperative Outcomes Group and includes adult patients who underwent major noncardiac surgery under general anesthesia between January 2014 and June 2020. The primary endpoint was the incidence of albumin administration. Secondary endpoints are acute kidney injury (AKI), net-positive fluid balance, pulmonary complications, and 30-day mortality. Albumin-exposed and albumin-unexposed cases were compared within a propensity score-matched cohort to evaluate associations of albumin use with outcomes. RESULTS Among 614,215 major surgeries, predominantly iso-oncotic albumin was administered in 15.3% of cases and featured significant inter-institutional variability in use patterns. Cases receiving intraoperative albumin involved patients of higher American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status and featured larger infused crystalloid volumes, greater blood loss, and vasopressor use. Overall, albumin was most often administered at high-volume surgery centers with academic affiliation, and within a propensity score-matched cohort (n=153,218), the use of albumin was associated with AKI (aOR 1.24, 95% CI 1.20-1.28, P <0.001), severe AKI (aOR 1.45, 95% CI 1.34-1.56, P <0.001), net-positive fluid balance (aOR 1.18, 95% CI 1.16-1.20, P <0.001), pulmonary complications (aOR 1.56, 95% CI 1.30-1.86, P <0.001), and 30-day all-cause mortality (aOR 1.37, 95% CI 1.26-1.49, P <0.001). CONCLUSIONS Intravenous albumin is commonly administered among noncardiac surgeries with significant inter-institutional variability in use in the United States. Albumin administration was associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications.

Abstract
Elevations of plasma creatinine are common after major surgery, but their pathophysiology is poorly understood. To identify possible contributing mechanisms, we pooled data from eight prospective studies performed in four different countries to study circumstances during which elevation of plasma creatinine occurs. We included 642 patients undergoing mixed major surgeries, mostly open gastrointestinal. Plasma and urinary creatinine and a composite index for renal fluid conservation (Fluid Retention Index, FRI) were measured just before surgery and on the first postoperative morning. Urine flow was measured during the surgery. The results show that patients with a postoperative increase in plasma creatinine by >25% had a high urinary creatinine concentration (11.0±5.9 vs. 8.3±5.6 mmol/L; P< 0001) and higher FRI value (3.2±1.0 vs. 2.9±1.1; P< 0.04) already before surgery was initiated. Progressive increase of plasma creatinine was associated with a gradually lower urine flow and larger blood loss during the surgery (Kruskal-Wallis test, P< 0.001). The patients with an elevation > 25% also showed higher creatinine and a higher FRI value on the first postoperative morning (P< 0.001). Elevations to > 50% of baseline were associated with slightly lower mean arterial pressure (73 ± 10 vs. 80 ± 12 mmHg; P< 0.005). We conclude that elevation of plasma creatinine in the perioperative period was associated with low urine flow and greater blood loss during surgery and with concentrated urine both before and after the surgery. Renal water conservation-related mechanisms seem to contribute to the development of increased plasma creatinine after surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the effect of intraoperative goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) combined with enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program on postoperative complications in elderly patients undergoing thoracoscopic pulmonary resection. METHODS Patients, more than 60 years old, undergoing thoracoscopic pulmonary resection for non-small cell lung cancer were randomly divided into GDFT group and restrictive fluid therapy (RFT) group. ERAS program was implemented in all patients. In GDFT group, the intraoperative fluid management was guided by stroke volume variation (SVV), cardiac index (CI), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) and maintained the SVV < 13%, CI > 2.5 L/min/m2, and MAP > 65 mmHg. In RFT group, fluid maintenance with 2 ml/kg/h of balanced crystalloid solution, norepinephrine was used to maintain MAP > 65 mmHg. The incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) and pulmonary and cardiac complications was compared. RESULTS Two-hundred seventy-six patients were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups (138 in each group). Compared to RFT group, the total intraoperative infusion volume, colloids infusion volume, and urine output were more; the dosage of norepinephrine was lower in GDFT group. Although there were no significant differences of postoperative AKI (GDFT vs RFT; 4.3% vs 8%; P = 0.317) and composite postoperative complications (GDFT vs RFT; 66 vs 70) between groups, but the postoperative increase degree of serum creatinine was lower in GDFT group than that in RFT group (GDFT vs RFT; 91.9 ± 25.2 μmol/L vs 97.1 ± 17.6 μmol/L; P = 0.048). CONCLUSIONS Under ERAS program, there was no significant difference of AKI incidence between GDFT and RFT in elderly patients undergoing thoracoscopic pulmonary resection. But postoperative increase degree of serum creatinine was lower in GDFT group. TRIAL REGISTRATION Registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04302467 on 26 February 2020.

Cardiometabolic disease and obesity patterns differentially predict acute kidney injury after total joint replacement: a retrospective analysis. Br J Anaesth 2023; 131:37-46.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent yet understudied postoperative total joint arthroplasty complication. This study aimed to describe cardiometabolic disease co-occurrence using latent class analysis, and associated postoperative AKI risk. METHODS This retrospective analysis examined patients ≥18 years old undergoing primary total knee or hip arthroplasties within the US Multicenter Perioperative Outcomes Group of hospitals from 2008 to 2019. AKI was defined using modified Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. Latent classes were constructed from eight cardiometabolic diseases including hypertension, diabetes, and coronary artery disease, excluding obesity. A mixed-effects logistic regression model was constructed for the outcome of any AKI and the exposure of interaction between latent class and obesity status adjusting for preoperative and intraoperative covariates. RESULTS Of 81 639 cases, 4007 (4.9%) developed AKI. Patients with AKI were more commonly older and non-Hispanic Black, with more significant comorbidity. A latent class model selected three groups of cardiometabolic patterning, labelled 'hypertension only' (n=37 223), 'metabolic syndrome (MetS)' (n=36 503), and 'MetS+cardiovascular disease (CVD)' (n=7913). After adjustment, latent class/obesity interaction groups had differential risk of AKI compared with those in 'hypertension only'/non-obese. Those 'hypertension only'/obese had 1.7-fold increased odds of AKI (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.5-2.0). Compared with 'hypertension only'/non-obese, those 'MetS+CVD'/obese had the highest odds of AKI (odds ratio 3.1, 95% CI: 2.6-3.7), whereas 'MetS+CVD'/non-obese had 2.2 times the odds of AKI (95% CI: 1.8-2.7; model area under the curve 0.76). CONCLUSIONS The risk of postoperative AKI varies widely between patients. The current study suggests that the co-occurrence of metabolic conditions (diabetes mellitus, hypertension), with or without obesity, is a more important risk factor for acute kidney injury than individual comorbid diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney damage (AKI) is among the most severe consequences observed in surgical intensive care units (SICUs). We aim to observe the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of acute kidney injury in SICU octogenarians. METHODS A cross-sectional retrospective study was conducted at the SICU of Jordan University Hospital (JUH), a tertiary teaching hospital in a developing country, between January 2018 and December 2019. Patients who were 80 years or older at the time of data collection were included. The definition of AKI was based on Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were reviewed. RESULTS A total number of 168 patients were included. The mean age was 84.0 ± 3.8 years, and 54.8% of the participants were women. Of those, 115 (68.5%) had surgery before or during ICU stay, and 28.7% of the patients' surgeries were an emergency surgery. Also, 47.8% of surgeries were considered by anesthesia to be high-risk surgeries. A total of 55 patients (32.7%) developed AKI during their SICU stay. The factors that were significantly associated with AKI in the ICU patients included use of beta blocker [AOR: 3.7; 95% CI: 1.2-11.8; p = 0.025], and inotropes [AOR:4.0; 95% CI: 1.2-13.3; p = 0.03]. The factors that were significantly associated with mortality in the ICU included using mechanical ventilation [AOR:18.7; 95% CI: 2.4-141.9; p = 0.005] and inotropes use [AOR: 12.3; 95% CI: 1.2-120.7; p = 0.031]. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of AKI during SICU stay in this study was 32.7% and it was significantly associated with the use of beta blockers, mechanical ventilation, and inotropes. The mortality rate among octogenarians who developed AKI during SICU stay was 36.4%. Further studies are needed globally to assess the incidence of AKI in octogenarian surgical patients and identify risk factors to provide preventative measurements and strategies.

Abstract
Perioperative organ injury remains a medical, social and economic problem in cardiac surgery. Patients with postoperative organ dysfunction have increases in morbidity, length of stay, long-term mortality, treatment costs and rehabilitation time. Currently, there are no pharmaceutical technologies or non-pharmacological interventions that can mitigate the continuum of multiple organ dysfunction and improve the outcomes of cardiac surgery. It is essential to identify agents that trigger or mediate an organ-protective phenotype during cardiac surgery. The authors highlight nitric oxide (NO) ability to act as an agent for perioperative protection of organs and tissues, especially in the heart-kidney axis. NO has been delivered in clinical practice at an acceptable cost, and the side effects of its use are known, predictable, reversible and relatively rare. This review presents basic data, physiological research and literature on the clinical application of NO in cardiac surgery. Results support the use of NO as a safe and promising approach in perioperative patient management. Further clinical research is required to define the role of NO as an adjunct therapy that can improve outcomes in cardiac surgery. Clinicians also have to identify cohorts of responders for perioperative NO therapy and the optimal modes for this technology.

Abstract
The global volume of surgery is increasing. Adverse outcomes after surgery have resource implications and long-term impact on quality of life and consequently represent a significant and underappreciated public health issue. Standardization of outcome reporting is essential for evidence synthesis, risk stratification, perioperative care planning, and to inform shared decision-making. The association between short- and long-term outcomes, which persists when corrected for base-line risk, has significant implications for patients and providers and warrants further investigation. Candidate mechanisms include sustained inflammation and reduced physician activity, which may, in the future, be mitigated by targeted interventions.

Abstract
Background: It is well demonstrated that intraoperative blood pressure is associated with postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI); however, the association between severity and duration of abnormal intraoperative blood pressure (BP) with AKI in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery remains unknown. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 12,414 patients aged ≥ 18 years who underwent a single elective laparoscopic abdominal surgery during hospitalization between October 2011 and April 2017. Multivariate stepwise logistic regressions were applied to determine the correlation between the severity and duration of intraoperative mean arterial pressure (MAP, (systolic BP + 2 × diastolic BP)/3), acute intraoperative hypertension (IOTH) and postoperative AKI, in different periods of surgery. Results: A total of 482 hospitalized patients (3.9%) developed surgery-related AKI. Compared with those without IOTH or with preoperative mean MAP (80–85 mmHg), acute elevated IOTH (odds ratio, OR, 1.4, 95% CI, 1.1 to 1.7), mean MAP 95–100 mmHg (OR, 1.8; 95% CI, 1.3 to 2.7), MAP 100–105 mmHg (OR, 2.4; 95% CI, 1.6 to 3.8), and more than 105 mmHg (OR, 1.9; 95% CI, 1.1 to 3.3) were independent of other risk factors in a diverse cohort undergoing laparoscopic surgery. In addition, the risk of postoperative AKI appeared to result from long exposure (≥20 min) to IOTH (OR, 1.9; 95% CI, 1.5 to 2.5) and MAP ≥ 115 mmHg (OR, 2.2; 95% CI, 1.6 to 3.0). Intraoperative hypotension was not found to be associated with AKI in laparoscopic surgery patients. Conclusions: Postoperative AKI correlates positively with intraoperative hypertension in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. These findings provide an intraoperative evaluation criterion to predict the occurrence of postoperative AKI.

Abstract
Post-operative acute kidney injury is a devastating complication with significant morbidity and mortality associated with it. The perioperative anesthesiologist is in a unique position to potentially mitigate the risk of postoperative AKI, however, understanding the pathophysiology, risk factors and preventative strategies is paramount. There are also certain clinical scenarios, where renal replacement therapy may be indicated intraoperatively including severe electrolyte abnormalities, metabolic acidosis and massive volume overload. A multidisciplinary approach including the nephrologist, critical care physician, surgeon and anesthesiologist is necessary to determine the optimal management of these critically ill patients.

Abstract
The most common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients is sepsis. Kidney macrophages consist of both F4/80hi and CD11bhi cells. The role of macrophage subpopulations in septic AKI pathogenesis remains unclear. As F4/80hi macrophages are reported to contribute to immunomodulation following injury, we hypothesized that selective depletion of F4/80hi macrophages would worsen septic AKI. F4/80hi macrophages were depleted via diphtheria toxin injection in CD11cCre(+)/CX3CR1dtr/wt (F4/80 MKO mice) compared to CD11cCre(-)/CX3CR1dtr/wt (F4/80 MWT) mice. F4/80 MWT and F4/80 MKO mice were subjected to sham or cecal ligation and puncture to induce sepsis. Compared to F4/80 MWT mice, F4/80 MKO mice displayed worsened septic AKI at 24 hours as measured by serum creatinine and histologic injury scoring. Kidneys from F4/80 MKO mice elaborated higher kidney interleukin-6 levels. Mechanistically, single cell RNA sequencing identified a macrophage-endothelial cell immunoregulatory axis that underlies interleukin-6 expression. F4/80hi macrophages expressed interleukin-1 receptor antagonist and limited interleukin-6 expression in endothelial cells. In turn, anti-interleukin-6 therapy ameliorated septic AKI in F4/80 MKO mice. Thus, F4/80hi macrophages express interleukin-1 receptor antagonist and constrain interleukin-6 generation from endothelial cells to limit septic AKI, representing a targetable cellular crosstalk in septic AKI. These findings are particularly relevant owing to the efficacy of anti-interleukin-6 therapies during COVID-19 infection, a disease associated with high rates of AKI and endothelial dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) after noncardiac surgery is common and has substantial health impact. Preclinical and clinical studies examining the influence of sex on AKI have yielded conflicting results, although they typically do not account for age-related changes. The objective of the study was to determine the association of age and sex groups on postoperative AKI. The authors hypothesized that younger females would display lower risk of postoperative AKI than males of similar age, and the protection would be lost in older females. METHODS This was a multicenter retrospective cohort study across 46 institutions between 2013 and 2019. Participants included adult inpatients without pre-existing end-stage kidney disease undergoing index major noncardiac, nonkidney/urologic surgeries. The authors' primary exposure was age and sex groups defined as females 50 yr or younger, females older than 50 yr, males 50 yr or younger, and males older than 50 yr. The authors' primary outcome was development of AKI by Kidney Disease-Improving Global Outcomes serum creatinine criteria. Exploratory analyses included associations of ascending age groups and hormone replacement therapy home medications with postoperative AKI. RESULTS Among 390,382 patients, 25,809 (6.6%) developed postoperative AKI (females 50 yr or younger: 2,190 of 58,585 [3.7%]; females older than 50 yr: 9,320 of 14,4047 [6.5%]; males 50 yr or younger: 3,289 of 55,503 [5.9%]; males older than 50 yr: 11,010 of 132,447 [8.3%]). When adjusted for AKI risk factors, compared to females younger than 50 yr (odds ratio, 1), the odds of AKI were higher in females older than 50 yr (odds ratio, 1.51; 95% CI, 1.43 to 1.59), males younger than 50 yr (odds ratio, 1.90; 95% CI, 1.79 to 2.01), and males older than 50 yr (odds ratio, 2.06; 95% CI, 1.96 to 2.17). CONCLUSIONS Younger females display a lower odds of postoperative AKI that gradually increases with age. These results suggest that age-related changes in women should be further studied as modifiers of postoperative AKI risk after noncardiac surgery. EDITOR’S PERSPECTIVE

Abstract
An increased intraabdominal pressure, particularly when occurring during periods of hemodynamic instability or fluid overload, is regarded as a major contributor to acute kidney injury (AKI) in intensive care units. During abdominal laparoscopic procedures, intraoperative insufflation pressures up to 15 mmHg are applied, to enable visualization and surgical manipulation but with the potential to compromise net renal perfusion. Despite the widely acknowledged renal arterial autoregulation, net arterial perfusion pressure is known to be narrow, and the effective renal medullary perfusion is disproportionately impacted by venous and lymphatic congestion. At present, the potential risk factors, mitigators and risk-stratification of AKI during surgical pneumoperitoneum formation received relatively limited attention among nephrologists and represent an opportunity to look beyond mere blood pressure and intake-output balances. Careful charting and reporting duration and extent of surgical pneumoperitoneum represents an opportunity for anesthesia teams to better communicate intraoperative factors affecting renal outcomes for the postoperative clinical teams. In this current article, the authors are integrating preclinical data and clinical experience to provide a better understanding to optimize renal perfusion during surgeries. Future studies should carefully consider intrabdominal insufflation pressure as a key variable when assessing outcomes and blood pressure goals in these settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical trauma-induced inflammation during major surgery may disrupt endothelial integrity and affect plasma concentrations of glycocalyx constituents, such as syndecan-1 and heparan sulphate. To date, no studies have focused on their perioperative temporal changes. METHODS As part of a trial, we obtained plasma and urine specimens sampled during the perioperative period in 72 patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. The plasma concentration of syndecan-1 and heparan sulphate was measured on five occasions, from baseline to the second postoperative day. Plasma and urinary creatinine and urinary syndecan-1 concentrations were measured before surgery and on the first postoperative morning. RESULTS We observed three different temporal patterns of plasma syndecan-1 concentration. Group 1 'low' (64% of patients) showed only minor changes from baseline despite a median heparan sulphate increase of 67% (p < .005). Group 2 'increase' (21% of patients) showed a marked increase in median plasma syndecan-1 from 27 μg/L to 118 μg/L during the first postoperative day (p < .001) with a substantial (+670%; p < .005) increase in median plasma heparan sulphate from 279 to 2196 μg/L. Group 3 'high' (14% of patients) showed a constant elevation of plasma syndecan-1 to >100 μg/L, but low heparan sulphate levels. The plasma C-reactive protein concentration did not differ across the three groups and 90% of colon surgeries occurred in Group 1. Treatment with dexamethasone was similar across the three groups. Surgical blood loss, duration of surgery and liver resection were greatest in Group 2. CONCLUSION Changes in syndecan-1 and heparan sulphate after surgery appear to show three different patterns, with the greatest increases in those patients with greater blood loss, more liver surgery and longer operations. These observations suggest that increases in syndecan-1 and heparan sulphate reflect the degree of surgical injury.

Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI), characterized by sudden impairment of kidney function, is an uncommon complication following hip fracture surgery that is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. We constructed a nomogram to stratify patients according to risk of AKI after hip fracture surgery to guide clinicians in the implementation of timely interventions. Methods Patients who received hip fracture surgery from January 2015 to December 2021 were retrospectively identified and divided into a training set (n=448, surgery from January 2015 to December 2019) and a validation set (n=200, surgery from January 2020 to December 2021). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to identify risk factors for AKI after surgery in the training set. A nomogram was constructed based the risk factors for AKI, and was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results The mean age was 82.0±6.22 years-old and the prevalence of post-surgical AKI was 13.3%. Age, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, the preexistence of chronic kidney disease (CKD), cemented surgery and the decrease of hemoglobin on the first day after surgery were identified as independent risk factors of AKI after hip fracture surgery, and a predictive nomogram was established based on the multivariable model. The predictive nomogram had good discrimination ability (training set: AUC: 0.784, 95% CI: 0.720-0.848; validation set: AUC: 0.804, 95% CI: 0.704-0.903), and showed good validation ability and clinical usefulness based on a calibration plot and decision curve analysis. Conclusion A nomogram that incorporated five risk factors including age, ASA score, preexisting CKD, cemented surgery and the decrease of hemoglobin on the first day after surgery had good predictive performance and discrimination. Use of our results for early stratification and intervention has the potential to improve the outcomes of patients receiving hip fracture surgery. Future large, multicenter cohorts are needed to verify the model's performance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is independently associated with morbidity and mortality in a wide range of surgical settings. Nowadays, with the increasing use of electronic health records (EHR), advances in patient information retrieval, and cost reduction in clinical informatics, artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to improve early recognition and management for perioperative AKI. However, there is no quantitative synthesis of the performance of these methods. We conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the sensitivity and specificity of artificial intelligence for the prediction of acute kidney injury during the perioperative period. METHODS Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched to 2nd October 2021. Studies presenting diagnostic performance of artificial intelligence in the early detection of perioperative acute kidney injury were included. True positives, false positives, true negatives and false negatives were pooled to collate specificity and sensitivity with 95% CIs and results were portrayed in forest plots. The risk of bias of eligible studies was assessed using the PROBAST tool. RESULTS Nineteen studies involving 304,076 patients were included. Quantitative random-effects meta-analysis using the Rutter and Gatsonis hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristics (HSROC) model revealed pooled sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratio of 0.77 (95% CI: 0.73 to 0.81),0.75 (95% CI: 0.71 to 0.80), and 10.7 (95% CI 8.5 to 13.5), respectively. Threshold effect was found to be the only source of heterogeneity, and there was no evidence of publication bias. CONCLUSIONS Our review demonstrates the promising performance of artificial intelligence for early prediction of perioperative AKI. The limitations of lacking external validation performance and being conducted only at a single center should be overcome. TRIAL REGISTRATION This study was not registered with PROSPERO.

Impact of Blood Loss on Renal Function and Interaction with Ischemia Duration after Nephron-Sparing Surgery. Curr Oncol 2022; 29:9760-9766. [PMID: 36547181 PMCID: PMC9777389 DOI: 10.3390/curroncol29120767] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2022] [Revised: 11/30/2022] [Accepted: 12/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) exposes the kidney to ischemia-reperfusion injury. Blood loss and hypotension are also associated with kidney injury. We aimed to test the hypothesis that, during NSS, both ischemia duration and blood loss significantly affect postoperative renal function and that their effects interact. METHODS Consecutive patients undergoing NSS were enrolled. The primary endpoint was renal function expressed as the absolute delta between preoperative and postoperative peak creatinine. We developed a generalized linear model with the ischemia duration and absolute hemoglobin difference as independent variables, their interaction term, and the RENAL score. The model was than expanded to include a history of hypertension (as a proxy for hypotension susceptibility) and related interaction terms. Further, we described the perioperative and mid-term oncological outcomes. RESULTS A total of 478 patients underwent NSS, and 209 (43.7%) required ischemia for a mean of 10.9 min (SD 8). Both the ischemia duration (partial eta 0.842, p = 0.006) and hemoglobin difference (partial eta 0.933, p = 0.029) significantly affected postoperative renal function, albeit without evidence of a significant interaction (p = 0.525). The RENAL score also significantly influenced postoperative renal function (p = 0.023). After the addition of a previous history of hypertension, the effects persisted, with a significant interaction between blood loss and a history of hypertension (p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS Ischemia duration and blood loss had a similar impact on postoperative renal function, albeit without potentiating each other. While the surgical technique and ischemia minimization remain crucial to postoperative kidney function, increased awareness of conscious hemodynamic management appears warranted.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Although visual estimate of urine output via urimeter bag is common, data on accuracy are limited. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the accuracy of a visual estimate of urine output in standard urimeter bags by health care workers. STUDY DESIGN This is a prospective observational study. Perioperative health care workers were asked to visually estimate fluid volumes in 5 standard urimeter bags. Actual volumes were 50, 150, 350, 500, and 750 mL. Visual estimates were recorded. The primary outcome was accuracy, defined as estimated visual volume within 20% of actual volume. Secondary outcomes included effect of health care provider type, specialty, experience, sex, and age on accuracy. RESULTS A total of 159 responses were analyzed. There were 55 (35.3%) registered nurses, 19 (12.2%) certified registered nurse anesthetists, 18 (11.5%) advanced practice providers not identified as a certified registered nurse anesthetist, and 64 (41%) physicians. Mean estimated volumes (in milliliters) ± standard deviation and accuracy for the bags were as follows: (a) actual volume of 50 mL and estimated volume of 66 ± 29 mL (45% accuracy), (b) actual volume of 150 mL and estimated volume of 149 ± 43 mL (46% accuracy), (c) actual volume of 350 mL and estimated volume of 356 ± 74 mL (76% accuracy), (d) actual volume of 500 mL and estimated volume of 452 ± 77 mL (85% accuracy), and (e) actual volume of 750 mL and estimated volume of 675 ± 108 mL (85% accuracy). There was reasonable accuracy for individual volume estimates, but accuracy across all 5 urimeter bags was low: 22 of 159 (13.8%). There were no significant differences in accuracy based on health care provider type, specialty, experience, sex, or age. CONCLUSIONS Consistent accuracy of visual assessment of calibrated urimeter bag volumes was low and not influenced by health care provider characteristics.

Abstract
Postoperative AKI is a common complication of major surgery and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes AKI definition allows consensus classification and identification of postoperative AKI through changes in serum creatinine and/or urine output. However, such conventional diagnostic criteria may be inaccurate in the postoperative period, suggesting a potential to refine diagnosis by application of novel diagnostic biomarkers. Risk factors for the development of postoperative AKI can be thought of in terms of preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative factors and, as such, represent areas that may be targeted perioperatively to minimize the risk of AKI. The treatment of postoperative AKI remains predominantly supportive, although application of management bundles may translate into improved outcomes.

Abstract
Renal fibrosis is an important pathological biomarker of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Stimulator of interferon genes/TANK binding kinase 1 (STING/TBK1) axis has been identified as the main regulator of innate immune response and closely related to fibrotic disorder. However, the role of STING/TBK1 signaling pathway in kidney fibrosis is still unknown. In this study, we investigated the effect of pharmacological inhibition of STING/TBK1 signaling on renal fibrosis induced by folic acid (FA). In mice, TBK1 was significantly activated in interstitial cells of FA-injured kidneys, which was markedly inhibited by H-151 (a STING inhibitor) treatment. Specifically, pharmacological inhibition of STING impaired bone marrow-derived fibroblasts activation and macrophage to myofibroblast transition in folic acid nephropathy, leading to reduction of extracellular matrix proteins expression, myofibroblasts formation and development of renal fibrosis. Furthermore, pharmacological inhibition of TBK1 by GSK8612 reduced myeloid myofibroblasts accumulation and impeded macrophage to myofibroblast differentiation, resulting in less deposition of extracellular matrix protein and less severe fibrotic lesion in FA-injured kidneys. In cultured mouse bone marrow-derived monocytes, TGF-β1 activated STING/TBK1 signaling. This was abolished by STING or TBK1 inhibitor administration. In addition, GSK8612 treatment decreased levels of α-smooth muscle actin and extracellular matrix proteins and prevents bone marrow-derived macrophages to myofibroblasts transition in vitro. Collectively, our results revealed that STING/TBK1 signaling has a critical role in bone marrow-derived fibroblast activation, macrophages to myofibroblasts transition, and kidney fibrosis progression.

[PMID: 35751021 PMCID: PMC9229082 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-022-01727-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2022] [Accepted: 06/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common postoperative complications in noncardiac surgical patients, has an important impact on prognosis and is difficult to predict. Whether preoperative N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentrations and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) levels can predict postoperative AKI in noncardiac surgical patients is unclear. METHODS We included 3,314 patients who underwent noncardiac surgery and had measurements of preoperative NT-proBNP concentrations and LVEF levels at a tertiary academic hospital in China between 2008 and 2018. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to construct a postoperative AKI risk prediction model for this cohort. Then, NT-proBNP concentrations and LVEF levels were included in the abovementioned model as independent variables, and the predictive ability of these two models was compared. RESULTS Postoperative AKI occurred in 223 (6.72%) patients within 1 week after surgery. Preoperative NT-proBNP concentrations and LVEF levels were independent predictors of AKI after adjustment for clinical variables. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of the AKI risk predictive model established with clinical baseline variables was 0.767 (95% CI: 0.732, 0.802). When NT-proBNP concentrations and LVEF levels were added to the base model, the AUROC was 0.811 (95% CI: 0.779, 0.843). The addition of NT-proBNP concentrations and LVEF levels improved reclassification by 22.9% (95% CI 10.5-34.4%) for patients who developed postoperative AKI and by 36.3% (95% CI 29.5-43.9%) for those who did not, resulting in a significant overall improvement in net reclassification (NRI: 0.591, 95% CI 0.437-0.752, P < 0.000). The integral discrimination improvement was 0.100 (95% CI: 0.075, 0.125, P < 0.000).The final postoperative AKI prediction model was constructed, and had a good discriminative ability and fitted to the dataset. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative NT-proBNP concentrations and LVEF levels were independently associated with the risk of AKI after noncardiac surgery, and they could improve the predictive ability of logistic regression models based on conventional clinical risk factors. TRIAL REGISTRATION The protocol was preregistered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry ( ChiCTR1900024056 ).

Abstract
Objective The present study aimed to investigate whether acute kidney injury (AKI) was associated with 3-year mortality in elderly patients after non-cardiac surgery. Methods The present study was a 3-year follow-up study of two randomized controlled trials. A total of 1,319 elderly patients who received non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia were screened. AKI was diagnosed by the elevation of serum creatinine within a 7-day postoperative period according to Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines. A long-term telephonic follow-up was undertaken by investigators who were not involved in the previous two trials and had no access to the study group assignment. The date of death was taken from the official medical death certificate. The primary outcome was to investigate the association between AKI and postoperative 3-year mortality using the multivariable Cox regression risk model. Results Of the 1,297 elderly patients (mean age 71.8 ± 7.2 years old) who were included in the study, the incidence of AKI was 15.5% (201/1297). Of the patients with AKI, 85% (170/201) were at stage 1, 10% (20/201) at stage 2, and 5% (11/201) at stage 3. The 3-year all-cause mortality was 28.9% (58/201) in patients with AKI and 24.0% (263/1,096) in patients without AKI (hazard ratio 1.247, 95% confidence interval 0.939–1.657, P = 0.128). The multivariable Cox regression showed that AKI was not associated with 3-year mortality after adjustment of confounding factors (adjusted hazard ratio 1.045, 95% confidence interval 0.780–1.401, P = 0.766). Conclusions AKI was a common postoperative complication, but it was not associated with 3-year mortality in elderly patients who underwent non-cardiac surgery. The low incidence of severe AKI might underestimate its underlying association with long-term mortality.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop nomograms for pre- and early-postoperative risk assessment of patients undergoing pancreatic head resection. METHODS Clinical data from 956 patients were collected in a prospectively maintained database. A test (n = 772) and a validation cohort (n = 184) were randomly generated. Uni- and multi-variate analysis and nomogram construction were performed to predict severe postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo Grades III-V) in the test cohort. External validation was performed with the validation cohort. RESULTS We identified ASA score, indication for surgery, body mass index (BMI), preoperative white blood cell (WBC) count, and preoperative alkaline phosphatase as preoperative factors associated with an increased perioperative risk for complications. Additionally to ASA score, BMI, indication for surgery, and the preoperative alkaline phosphatase, the following postoperative parameters were identified as risk factors in the early postoperative setting: the need for intraoperative blood transfusion, operation time, maximum WBC on postoperative day (POD) 1-3, and maximum serum amylase on POD 1-3. Two nomograms were developed on the basis of these risk factors and showed accurate risk estimation for severe postoperative complications (ROC-AUC-values for Grades III-V-preoperative nomogram: 0.673 (95%, CI: 0.626-0.721); postoperative nomogram: 0.734 (95%, CI: 0.691-0.778); each p ≤ 0.001). Validation yielded ROC-AUC-values for Grades III-V-preoperative nomogram of 0.676 (95%, CI: 0.586-0.766) and postoperative nomogram of 0.677 (95%, CI: 0.591-0.762); each p = 0.001. CONCLUSION Easy-to-use nomograms for risk estimation in the pre- and early-postoperative setting were developed. Accurate risk estimation can support the decisional process, especially for IPMN-patients with an increased perioperative risk.

Abstract
Objectives Cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) has been established in the management of peritoneal carcinomatosis. Although it is still necessary to take adequate measures against major postoperative complications including acute kidney injury (AKI), consensus is lacking on how to assess and stratify risk for patients with postoperative AKI after CRS-HIPEC. The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to investigate the association of intraoperative gross hematuria as a surrogate marker of ureter injury with postoperative AKI incidence. Methods This retrospective cohort study investigated patients without impaired preoperative kidney function who underwent CRS-HIPEC at a single referral center, and evaluated the relationship between intraoperative gross hematuria and incidence of postoperative AKI as defined by the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes practice guidelines. Logistic regression analysis was performed to calculate the odds ratio of intraoperative gross hematuria for AKI, adjusting for confounding factors and other risk factors for AKI. Results We enrolled 185 patients (males, 37%). Twenty-five patients developed intraoperative gross hematuria. Postoperative AKI occurred in 10 (40%) of 25 patients with hematuria and 28 (17.5%) of 160 patients without hematuria. The crude odds ratio for exposure to hematuria was 3.14 (95% confidence interval, 1.30–7.60; p=0.020) for postoperative AKI. Adjusted odds ratio as estimated by multivariate logistic regression was 4.57 (95% confidence interval, 1.55–13.45; p=0.006). Conclusions Intraoperative gross hematuria is significantly associated with postoperative AKI incidence after CRS-HIPEC. Early detection and treatment of postoperative acute kidney injury is essential. How to prevent acute kidney injury after cytoreductive surgery is unclear. Intraoperative hematuria is related to postoperative acute kidney injury. Hematuria is easily detectable and may reflect ureter injury. This may improve long-term outcomes for patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery.

Abstract
Background The Nephrocheck® test is a single-use cartridge designed to measure the concentrations of two novel cell-cycle arrest biomarkers of acute kidney injury, namely tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 (TIMP-2) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 (IGFBP7). Correlations of serum creatine values and TIMP-2 and IGFBP7 with and without correction for urine dilution have not been previously undertaken in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. We hypothesized that the Nephrocheck® values would be significantly different with and without correction for urine dilution in patients with elevated creatinine values post major abdominal surgery. Methods We performed a post hoc analysis of serum and urine specimens sampled preoperatively and postoperatively in 72 patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. Thirty samples were measured from patients with the greatest decrease and the greatest increase in postoperative serum creatinine values. Urine was analyzed with the Nephrocheck to predict the risk of acute kidney injury (AKIRisk™). We then examined the relationship between serum creatinine and the urinary excretion of TIMP-2 and IGFBP7 as measured by the Nephrocheck test. The AKIRisk between the groups with and without correction for urine dilution was assessed. Results The median perioperative change in serum creatinine in the two groups was −19% and +57%, respectively. The uncorrected median baseline AKIRisk decreased from 0.70 (25th−75th percentiles, 0.09–1.98) to 0.35 (0.19–0.57) (mg/L)2 in the first group and rose from 0.57 (0.22–1.53) to 0.85 (0.67–2.20) (mg/L)2 in the second group. However, when corrected for the squared urine dilution, the AKIRisk™ in patients with postoperative increases in serum creatinine was not indicative of kidney injury; the corrected AKIRisk was 8.0 (3.2–11.7) μg2/mmol2 before surgery vs.6.9 (5.3–11.0) μg2/mmol2 after the surgery (P = 0.69). Conclusion In the setting of major abdominal surgery, after correction of TIMP-2 and IGFBP7 for urine dilution, the Nephrocheck AKIRisk scores were significantly different from the uncorrected values. These finding imply that the AKIRisk index is a function of urine flow in addition to an increased release of the biomarkers.

Abstract
Background Patient safety during anesthesia is crucially dependent on the monitoring of vital signs. However, the values obtained must also be perceived and correctly classified by the attending care providers. To facilitate these processes, we developed Visual-Patient-avatar, an animated virtual model of the monitored patient, which innovatively presents numerical and waveform data following user-centered design principles. After a high-fidelity simulation study, we analyzed the participants’ perceptions of 3 different monitor modalities, including this newly introduced technique. Objective The aim of this study was to collect and evaluate participants’ opinions and experiences regarding 3 different monitor modalities, which are Visual-Patient-avatar, Split Screen (avatar and Conventional monitor alongside each other), and Conventional monitor after using them during simulated critical anesthetic events. Methods This study was a researcher-initiated, single-center, semiquantitative study. We asked 92 care providers right after finishing 3 simulated emergency scenarios about their positive and negative opinions concerning the different monitor modalities. We processed the field notes obtained and derived the main categories and corresponding subthemes following qualitative research methods. Results We gained a total of 307 statements. Through a context-based analysis, we identified the 3 main categories of “Visual-Patient-avatar,” “Split Screen,” and “Conventional monitor” and divided them into 11 positive and negative subthemes. We achieved substantial interrater reliability in assigning the statements to 1 of the topics. Most of the statements concerned the design and usability features of the avatar or the Split Screen mode. Conclusions This study semiquantitatively reviewed the clinical applicability of the Visual-Patient-avatar technique in a high-fidelity simulation study and revealed the strengths and limitations of the avatar only and Split Screen modality. In addition to valuable suggestions for improving the design, the requirement for training prior to clinical implementation was emphasized. The responses to the Split Screen suggest that this symbiotic modality generates better situation awareness in combination with numerical data and accurate curves. As a subsequent development step, a real-life introduction study is planned, where we will test the avatar in Split Screen mode under actual clinical conditions.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate prevalence and predictors of renal function variation in a multicenter cohort treated with radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). METHODS Patients from 17 tertiary centers were included. Renal function variation was evaluated at postoperative day (POD)-1, 6 and 12 months. Timepoints differences were Δ1 = POD-1 eGFR - baseline eGFR; Δ2 = 6 months eGFR - POD-1 eGFR; Δ3 = 12 months eGFR - 6 months eGFR. We defined POD-1 acute kidney injury (AKI) as an increase in serum creatinine by ≥ 0.3 mg/dl or a 1.5 1.9-fold from baseline. Additionally, a cutoff of 60 ml/min in eGFR was considered to define renal function decline at 6 and 12 months. Logistic regression (LR) and linear mixed (LM) models were used to evaluate the association between clinical factors and eGFR decline and their interaction with follow-up. RESULTS A total of 576 were included, of these 409(71.0%) and 403(70.0%) had an eGFR < 60 ml/min at 6 and 12 months, respectively, and 239(41.5%) developed POD-1 AKI. In multivariable LR analysis, age (Odds Ratio, OR 1.05, p < 0.001), male gender (OR 0.44, p = 0.003), POD-1 AKI (OR 2.88, p < 0.001) and preoperative eGFR < 60 ml/min (OR 7.58, p < 0.001) were predictors of renal function decline at 6 months. Age (OR 1.06, p < 0.001), coronary artery disease (OR 2.68, p = 0.007), POD-1 AKI (OR 1.83, p = 0.02), and preoperative eGFR < 60 ml/min (OR 7.80, p < 0.001) were predictors of renal function decline at 12 months. In LM models, age (p = 0.019), hydronephrosis (p < 0.001), POD-1 AKI (p < 0.001) and pT-stage (p = 0.001) influenced renal function variation (ß 9.2 ± 0.7, p < 0.001) during follow-up. CONCLUSION Age, preoperative eGFR and POD-1 AKI are independent predictors of 6 and 12 months renal function decline after RNU for UTUC.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal tumors remain a global health problem. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication during the treatment of gastrointestinal tumors. AKI can cause a decrease in the remission rate and an increase in mortality. In this review, we analyzed the causes and risk factors for AKI in gastrointestinal tumor patients. The possible mechanisms of AKI were divided into three groups: pretreatment, intrafraction and post-treatment causes. Treatment and prevention measures were proposed according to various factors to provide guidance to clinicians and oncologists that can reduce the incidence of AKI and improve the quality of life and survival rate of gastrointestinal tumor patients.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common medical problem in hospitalised patients worldwide that may result in negative physiological, social and economic consequences. Amongst patients admitted to ICU with AKI, over 40% have had either elective or emergency surgery prior to admission. Predicting outcomes after AKI is difficult and the decision on whom to initiate RRT with a goal of renal recovery or predict a long-term survival benefit still poses a challenge for acute care physicians. With the increasing use of electronic healthcare records, artificial intelligence may allow postoperative AKI prognostication and aid clinical management. Patients will benefit if the data can be readily accessed andregulatory, ethical and human factors challenges can be overcome.

Abstract
Background Perioperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with multiple postoperative complications leading to prolonged hospital stay and higher costs. AKI requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) after surgery has an incidence of 2–6% and mortality approximates 40–60%. Previous studies examining mortality in perioperative AKI patients managed with CRRT have concentrated on cardiac surgery patients and there are very limited data on broad surgical patient populations requiring CRRT. We examined long-term mortality and factors associated with poor outcome in a broad surgical population requiring CRRT for perioperative AKI during a 10-year period. Methods Surgical patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of academic tertiary hospital requiring CRRT between years 2010–2019 were included. CRRT was performed using regional citrate-calcium-anticoagulation. Extracted data included patient demographics, comorbidities, and clinical parameters at ICU admission and at the initiation of CRRT. Creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were measured at 1 year after ICU admission. Results A total of 157 patients were included in the study. ICU mortality was 42.7%, 90-day mortality 58.0% and 1-year mortality 62.4%. Blood lactate at ICU admission and CRRT initiation were independently associated with mortality in the multivariate models. Patients with lactate > 4 mmol/l had higher mortality than patients with normal lactate (77% vs. 21%) (p < 0.001). Creatinine (p = 0.004) and eGFR (p < 0.001) remained significantly altered at 1 year of follow-up compared to baseline. Conclusions Patients undergoing surgery and requiring perioperative CRRT in the ICU have a high risk of mortality. Mortality appears to be independently associated with lactate levels.

Abstract
Preoperative dehydration is usually found in 30–50% of surgical patients, but the incidence is unknown in the urologic population. We determined the prevalence of preoperative dehydration in major elective urological surgery and studied its association with postoperative outcome, with special attention to plasma creatinine changes. We recruited 187 patients scheduled for major abdominal urological surgery to participate in a single-center study that used the fluid retention index (FRI), which is a composite index of four urinary biomarkers that correlate with renal water conservation, to assess the presence of dehydration. Secondary outcomes were postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), return of gastrointestinal function, in-hospital complications, quality of recovery, and plasma creatinine. The proportion of dehydrated patients at surgery was 20.4%. Dehydration did not correlate with quality of recovery, PONV, or other complications, but dehydrated patients showed later defecation (p = 0.02) and significant elevations of plasma creatinine after surgery. The elevations were also greater when plasma creatinine had increased rather than decreased during the 24 h prior to surgery (p < 0.001). Overall, the increase in plasma creatinine at 6 h after surgery correlated well with elevations on postoperative days one and two. In conclusion, we found preoperative dehydration in one-fifth of the patients. Dehydration was associated with delayed defecation and elevated postoperative plasma creatinine. The preoperative plasma creatinine pattern could independently forecast more pronounced increases during the early postoperative period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a known postoperative complication of open ventral hernia repair contributing to increased costs, hospital length of stay, and mortality. The aim of this study was to identify whether the muscle injury that occurs in a posterior separation of components via transversus abdominis release (TAR) contributes to a higher incidence of postoperative AKI. METHODS A retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent open retrorectus ventral hernia repair with and without TAR at a single institution between 2012 and 2019 was performed. Patients who underwent a separation of components via either unilateral or bilateral transversus abdominis release were compared to those who did not undergo TAR as part of their hernia repair (non-TAR). The outcome of interest was the development of postoperative AKI. Acute kidney injury was defined as an increase in creatinine of greater than 50% of the preoperative baseline. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to determine the influence of TAR on the development of AKI. RESULTS There were 523 patients who met inclusion criteria, of which 159 (30.4%) had a TAR as part of their retrorectus hernia repair. No differences were found in preoperative characteristics between the TAR and non-TAR group including age, gender, history of kidney disease, or history of diabetes. By contrast, the TAR group had significantly greater median estimated blood loss (100 mL vs 75 mL, P < .01), mean positive intraoperative fluid balance (2255 mL vs 1887 mL, P < .01), and operative duration (321 min vs 269 min, P < .001). The rate of AKI in the TAR group was 11% (n = 18) vs 6% (n = 23, P = .0503) in the non-TAR group. On multivariate analysis controlling for patient characteristics and intraoperative factors, TAR was the only factor with a significantly increased odds of AKI (OR 1.97, 95% CI 0.994-3.905, P = .0521). CONCLUSIONS In patients with large ventral hernias requiring retrorectus repair, performing a TAR is associated with a nearly 2-fold increase in the development of postoperative AKI. These findings suggest that these patients should be optimized perioperatively with emphasis on fluid resuscitation, limiting nephrotoxic medications and monitoring urine output.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Low mean arterial pressure (MAP) periods occur frequently during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and their management remains controversial. Our aim was to correlate MAP during CPB with the occurrence of post-operative acute kidney injury (AKI), considering two different parameters: consecutive and cumulative low MAP periods. METHODS Single-centre observational retrospective study including 250 patients submitted to non-emergent aortic valve replacement, with tepid to mild hypothermia (not below 32°C). The primary outcome was the occurrence of AKI. A propensity scored matching of 43 patients was used to adjust both populations (AKI and No AKI). MAP measures were automatically and continuously recorded during CPB. Low MAP periods were analysed employing two parameters: consecutive and the cumulative sum of time. RESULTS Patients who experienced at least 5 min with MAP <50 mmHg had an increased risk of post-operative AKI (OR infinity; 95% CI, 1.47 to infinity; P = .026). The risk is also significant with MAP <40 mmHg (OR 2.78; 95% CI 1.1-6.9; = .044) and <30 mmHg (OR 3.36; 95% CI 1.2-9.2; P = .029). Post-operative AKI was associated with cumulative and consecutive periods of low MAP. Patients with periods of low MAP had higher levels of post-operative creatinine and reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Patients with AKI had prolonged endotracheal ventilation time, and ICU and ward lengths of stay. CONCLUSION Low MAP periods during CPB are associated with an increased occurrence of post-operative AKI, leading to 1) higher creatinine levels; 2) decreased GFR and 3) longer ICU and ward lengths of stay. Both consecutive and cumulative periods of low MAP are associated with an increased risk of AKI. MAP appears to be an important contributor to post-operative AKI and should be carefully managed during CPB. Further studies must address if MAP variations lead to definitive and long-term consequences.

[PMID: 33866539 DOI: 10.1111/aas.13834] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2020] [Revised: 03/31/2021] [Accepted: 04/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the occurrence and perioperative risk factors of acute kidney injury (AKI) in primary elective hip and knee and emergency hip arthroplasty patients. We also aimed to assess the effect of urine output (UOP) as a diagnostic criterion in addition to serum creatinine (sCr) levels. We hypothesized that emergency arthroplasties are prone to AKI and that UOP is an underrated marker of AKI. METHODS This retrospective, register-based study assessed 731 patients who underwent primary elective knee or hip arthroplasty and 170 patients who underwent emergency hip arthroplasty at Oulu University Hospital, Finland, between January 2016 and February 2017. RESULTS Of the elective patients, 18 (2.5%) developed AKI. The 1-year mortality rate was 1.5% in elective patients without AKI and 11.1% in those with AKI (P = .038). Of the emergency patients, 24 (14.1%) developed AKI. The mortality rate was 16.4% and 37.5% in emergency patients without and with AKI, respectively (P = .024). In an AKI subgroup analysis of the combined elective and emergency patients, the mortality rate was 31.3% (n = 5) in the sCr group (n = 16), 23.5% (n = 4) in the UOP group (n = 17), and 22.2% (n = 2) in AKI patients who met both the sCr and UOP criteria (n = 9). CONCLUSION Emergency hip arthroplasty is associated with an increased risk of AKI. Since AKI increases mortality in both elective and emergency arthroplasty, perioperative oliguria should also be considered as a diagnostic criterion for AKI. Focusing solely on sCr may overlook many cases of AKI.

[PMID: 34350198 PMCID: PMC8327205 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2021.699969] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2021] [Accepted: 06/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Postoperative elevation of plasma creatinine is a frequent complication to major surgery. A rise by 50% fulfills the criterion for Acute Kidney Injury. We studied the relationship between concentrated urine before surgery, which is usually a sign of chronically low intake of water, and the perioperative change in plasma creatinine. Methods: The creatinine concentration was measured in plasma and urine just before and at 6 h, 1 day, and 2 days after major abdominal surgery in a consecutive series of 181 patients. Receiver operating curve analysis was used to find the optimal cut-off to separate concentrated from diluted urine. Results: Urine creatinine of 11.3 mmol/L before the surgery started was exceeded in one third of the patients and associated with greater increase in plasma creatinine at 6 h (median 21 vs. 10%) and at 1 day postoperatively (21 vs. 7%; P < 0.0001). Elevation of plasma creatinine of >25% occurred in 41% and 19% in those with high and low urine creatinine, respectively (P < 0.001) and an increase by >50% in 16% and 10% (P = 0.27). Patients with high urine creatinine before surgery failed to further concentrate their urine during the perioperative period, which is normally associated with intensified renal fluid conservation. Conclusion: High urinary concentration of creatinine before surgery should be considered as a risk factor for postoperative elevation of plasma creatinine. The mechanism is probably that the renal threshold is then more easily reached.

Abstract
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common organ failures following surgery. We have developed a tripeptide mimetic (ANXA1sp) of the parent annexin A1 molecule that shows promise as an organ protectant limiting cellular stress; however, its potential as a kidney protective agent remains unexplored, and its mechanism of action is poorly understood. Our hypothesis was that ANXA1sp would limit kidney injury following surgical ischemic kidney injury. Methods: In a blinded fashion, wildtype mice were assigned to receive vehicle control or ANXA1sp one hour prior to and one hour after kidney vascular clamping. Our primary outcomes were markers of kidney injury and function as measured by serum creatinine and histologic injury scoring of kidney tissue sections. Immunofluorescence microscopy, real-time PCR, and Western blot were used to assess cell death, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial biomarkers. An in vitro model of oxygen-glucose deprivation in immortalized kidney tubule cells was used. Results: ANXA1sp given prior to and after ischemic kidney injury abrogated ischemic kidney injury. ANXA1sp limited cell death both in vivo and in vitro and abrogated oxidative stress following ischemia. ANXA1sp significantly increased the expression of markers associated with protective mitophagy and limited the expression of markers associated with detrimental mitochondrial fission. ANXA1sp upregulated the expression of the mitochondrial protectant sirtuin-3 (SIRT3) in the mitochondria of kidney tubular cells. Silencing of SIRT3 reversed ANXA1sp-mediated protection against hypoxic cell death. Conclusions: ANXA1sp limits kidney injury, upregulates SIRT3, and preserves mitochondrial integrity following ischemic kidney injury. ANXA1sp holds considerable promise as a perioperative kidney protectant prior to ischemia inducing surgery and kidney transplantation.
