Strong AE, Zee J, Laskin BL, Howarth K, Blinder J, Chrischilles EA, Erez DL, Denburg MR. Urine dipstick blood and acute kidney injury in infants undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass. Pediatr Nephrol 2024:10.1007/s00467-024-06464-9. [PMID: 39093456 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-024-06464-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2024] [Revised: 06/14/2024] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with hemolysis and acute kidney injury (AKI). The study aim was to determine if urine dipstick blood in infants after CPB was associated with AKI and urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL). METHODS Infants who underwent CPB at a single center were enrolled prospectively between October 2017 and June 2019. Urine samples prior to CPB and 6 h after CPB cessation were analyzed in batch for NGAL and dipstick blood. AKI was defined using creatinine-based KDIGO criteria within 72 h of CPB. Spearman correlation examined associations between urine dipstick blood and NGAL at each time point. Linear regression estimated the associations between urine dipstick blood and log-transformed NGAL 6 h after CPB. Logistic regression estimated associations and compared discrimination between urine dipstick blood and NGAL for predicting AKI. RESULTS At baseline, 7/63 samples (11%) had > trace blood. Six hours after CPB, 62/98 samples (63%) had > trace blood and 26% had 3 + (large) blood. In total, 18/98 (18%) with a 6-h post-CPB sample had postoperative AKI. Urine dipstick blood values correlated with urine NGAL 6 h after CPB (r = 0.52, p < 0.01), but not at baseline (r = 0.06, p = 0.66). Those with 3 + (large) blood on urine dipstick had 6 times higher mean NGAL values compared to those with negative/trace blood (mean ratio 6.6, 95%CI 3.1-14.4, p < 0.01). Those with 3 + (large) blood had 8 times higher odds of AKI (OR 7.99, 95%CI 1.5-41.9, p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Urine dipstick blood post CPB may be a simple and inexpensive tool to help predict AKI in infants.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, our understanding of the impact of acute kidney injury, disorders of fluid balance, and their interplay have increased significantly. In recent years, the epidemiology and impact of fluid balance, including the pathologic state of fluid overload on outcomes has been studied extensively across multiple pediatric and neonatal populations. A detailed understating of fluid balance has become increasingly important as it is recognized as a target for intervention to continue to work to improve outcomes in these populations. In this review, we provide an update on the epidemiology and outcomes associated with fluid balance disorders and the development of fluid overload in children with acute kidney injury (AKI). This will include a detailed review of consensus definitions of fluid balance, fluid overload, and the methodologies to define them, impact of fluid balance on the diagnosis of AKI and the concept of fluid corrected serum creatinine. This review will also provide detailed descriptions of future directions and the changing paradigms around fluid balance and AKI in critical care nephrology, including the incorporation of the sequential utilization of risk stratification, novel biomarkers, and functional kidney tests (furosemide stress test) into research and ultimately clinical care. Finally, the review will conclude with novel methods currently under study to assess fluid balance and distribution (point of care ultrasound and bioimpedance).

Abstract
AKI is a common and serious complication of cardiac surgery that has a significant impact on patient morbidity and mortality. The Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes definition of AKI is widely used to classify and identify AKI associated with cardiac surgery (cardiac surgery-associated AKI [CSA-AKI]) on the basis of changes in serum creatinine and/or urine output. There are various preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative risk factors for the development of CSA-AKI which should be recognized and addressed as early as possible to expedite its diagnosis, reduce its occurrence, and prevent or ameliorate its devastating complications. Crucial issues are the inaccuracy of serum creatinine as a surrogate parameter of kidney function in the perioperative setting of cardiothoracic surgery and the necessity to discover more representative markers of the pathophysiology of AKI. However, except for the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 ratio, other diagnostic biomarkers with an acceptable sensitivity and specificity are still lacking. This article provides a comprehensive review of various aspects of CSA-AKI, including pathogenesis, risk factors, diagnosis, biomarkers, classification, prevention, and treatment management.

Abstract
Introduction Early and accurate diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI) can prevent serious sequelae including chronic kidney disease. Multiple individual studies have identified urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) as a promising biomarker for early diagnosis of UTI. We sought to understand the distribution and diagnostic accuracy of uNGAL values in patients presenting with UTI symptoms. Methods Our systematic literature reviews in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Reviews up to March 2024, identified 25 studies reporting mean/median, standard deviation/quartiles, and detection limits of uNGAL in symptomatic patients with and without culture-confirmed UTI. Seventeen studies were in children. Meta-analyses were performed using the quantile estimation (QE) method estimating the distributions of uNGAL, which were then compared between the UTI and non-UTI groups for identifying the best cut-off points maximizing the Youden index. Sensitivity analyses were performed on all 25 studies including adult patients. Results We found that uNGAL levels were significantly higher in samples with confirmed UTI compared to those without. In pediatric studies, median and 95% confidence interval (CI) of uNGAL values were 22.41 (95% CI of 9.94, 50.54) ng/mL in non-UTI group vs. 118.85 (95% CI of 43.07, 327.97) ng/mL in UTI group. We estimated the cut-off point of 48.43 ng/mL with highest sensitivity (96%) and specificity (97%) in children. Sensitivity analysis including both pediatric and adult studies yielded similar results. Discussion The level of uNGAL in symptomatic patients with confirmed UTI is much higher than that reported in patients without UTI. It may be used as a diagnostic tool to identify UTI early among symptomatic patients. The range of uNGAL concentrations and cut-off points reported in subjects with UTI is much lower than that reported in patients with acute intrinsic kidney injury.

[PMID: 38691152 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-024-06387-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Revised: 04/10/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/03/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Furosemide stress test (FST) is a novel functional biomarker for predicting severe acute kidney injury (AKI); however, pediatric studies are limited. METHODS Children 3 months to 18 years of age admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of a tertiary care hospital from Nov 2019 to July 2021 were screened and those who developed AKI stage 1 or 2 within 7 days of admission underwent FST (intravenous furosemide 1 mg/kg). Urine output was measured hourly for the next 6 h; a value > 2 ml/kg within the first 2 h was deemed furosemide responsive. Other biomarkers like plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and proenkephalin (PENK) were also evaluated. RESULTS Of the 480 admitted patients, 51 developed AKI stage 1 or 2 within 7 days of admission and underwent FST. Nine of these patients were furosemide non-responsive. Thirteen (25.5%) patients (eight of nine from FST non-responsive group) developed stage 3 AKI within 7 days of FST, nine (17.6%) of whom (seven from non-responsive group) required kidney support therapy (KST). FST emerged as a good biomarker for predicting stage 3 AKI and need for KST with area-under-the-curve (AUC) being 0.93 ± 0.05 (95% CI 0.84-1.0) and 0.96 ± 0.03 (95% CI 0.9-1.0), respectively. FST outperformed NGAL and PENK in predicting AKI stage 3 and KST; however, the combination did not improve the diagnostic accuracy. CONCLUSIONS Furosemide stress test is a simple, inexpensive, and robust biomarker for predicting stage 3 AKI and KST need in critically ill children. Further research is required to identify the best FST cut-off in children.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication after surgery and the more complex the surgery, the greater the risk. During surgery, patients are exposed to a combination of factors all of which are associated with the development of AKI. These include hypotension and hypovolaemia, sepsis, systemic inflammation, the use of nephrotoxic agents, tissue injury, the infusion of blood or blood products, ischaemia, oxidative stress and reperfusion injury. Given the risks of AKI, it would seem logical to conclude that early identification of patients at risk of AKI would translate into benefit. The conventional markers of AKI, namely serum creatinine and urine output are the mainstay of defining chronic kidney disease but are less suited to the acute phase. Such concerns are compounded in surgical patients given they often have significantly reduced mobility, suboptimal levels of nutrition and reduced muscle bulk. Many patients may also have misleadingly low serum creatinine and high urine output due to aggressive fluid resuscitation, particularly in intensive care units. Over the last two decades, considerable information has accrued with regard to the performance of what was termed "novel" biomarkers of AKI, and here, we discuss the most examined molecules and performance in surgical settings. We also discuss the application of biomarkers to guide patients' postoperative care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This single-centre, retrospective cohort study was conducted to investigate the predictors of early peritoneal dialysis initiation in newborns and young infants undergoing cardiac surgery. METHODS There were fifty-seven newborns and young infants. All subjects received peritoneal dialysis catheter after completion of the cardiopulmonary bypass. Worsening post-operative (post-op) positive fluid balance and oliguria (<1 ml/kg/hour) despite furosemide were the clinical indications to start early peritoneal dialysis (peritoneal dialysis +). Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were collected from the pre-operative, intra-operative, and immediately post-operative periods. RESULTS Baseline demographic data were indifferent except that peritoneal dialysis + group had more newborns. Pre-operative serum creatinine was higher for peritoneal dialysis + group (p = 0.025). Peritoneal dialysis + group had longer cardiopulmonary bypass time (p = 0.044), longer aorta cross-clamp time (p = 0.044), and less urine output during post-op 24 hours (p = 0.008). In the univariate logistic regression model, pre-op serum creatinine was significantly associated with higher odds of being in peritoneal dialysis + (p = 0.021) and post-op systolic blood pressure (p = 0.018) and post-op mean arterial pressure (p=0.001) were significantly associated with reduced odds of being in peritoneal dialysis + (p = 0.018 and p = 0.001, respectively). Post-op mean arterial pressure showed a statistically significant association adjusted odds ratio = 0.89, 95% confidence interval [0.81, 0.96], p = 0.004) with peritoneal dialysis + in multivariate analysis after adjusting for age at surgery. CONCLUSIONS In our single-centre cohort, pre-op serum creatinine, post-op systolic blood pressure, and mean arterial pressure demonstrated statistically significant association with peritoneal dialysis +. This finding may help to better risk stratify newborns and young infants for early peritoneal dialysis start following cardiac surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cisplatin is associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) and electrolyte abnormalities. Urine tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 (TIMP-2) and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP-7) may be early cisplatin-AKI biomarkers. METHODS We conducted a 12-site prospective cohort study with pediatric patients treated with cisplatin (May 2013-December 2017). Blood and urine (measured for TIMP-2, IGFBP-7) were collected pre-cisplatin, 24-h post-cisplatin, and near hospital discharge during the first or second cisplatin cycle (early visit (EV)) and during second-to-last or last cisplatin cycle (late visit (LV)). PRIMARY OUTCOME serum creatinine (SCr)-defined AKI (≥ stage 1). RESULTS At EV (median (interquartile (IQR)) age: 6 (2-12) years; 78 (50%) female), 46/156 (29%) developed AKI; at LV, 22/127 (17%) experienced AKI. At EV, TIMP-2, IGFBP-7, and TIMP-2*IGFBP-7 pre-cisplatin infusion concentrations were significantly higher in participants with vs. those without AKI. At EV and LV, biomarker concentrations were significantly lower in participants with vs. those without AKI at post-infusion and near-hospital discharge. Biomarker values normalized to urine creatinine were higher in patients with AKI compared to without (LV post-infusion, median (IQR): TIMP-2*IGFBP-7: 0.28 (0.08-0.56) vs. 0.04 (0.02-0.12) (ng/mg creatinine)2/1000; P < .001). At EV, pre-infusion biomarker concentrations had the highest area under the curves (AUC) (range: 0.61-0.62) for AKI diagnosis; at LV, biomarkers measured post-infusion and near discharge yielded the highest AUCs (range: 0.64-0.70). CONCLUSIONS TIMP-2*IGFBP-7 were poor to modest at detecting AKI post-cisplatin. Additional studies are needed to determine whether raw biomarker values or biomarker values normalized to urinary creatinine are more strongly associated with patient outcomes. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Abstract
Background and Aims Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in pediatric cardiac intensive care unit (CICU). This study aims to identify the prevalence, risk factors, and outcomes of AKI in pediatrics admitted to a CICU unit of a tertiary hospital. Methods We retrospectively gathered the data of 253 randomly selected patients admitted to the CICU unit from March 2018 to March 2022. Data were collected from EHRs. We used the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria for identifying AKI in patients. Results Overall, AKI prevalence was 22.9% in our population. In the multivariable analysis, vancomycin intake (odds ratio [OR]: 2.109, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.15-3.84), angiography (OR: 4.38, 95% CI: 1.28-14.93), and mechanical ventilation (OR: 2.08, 95% CI: 1.02-4.23) were independent risk factors of AKI development and patients with AKI had a higher in-hospital mortality rate (OR: 5.81, 95% CI: 2.55-13.19), higher need for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (OR: 3.08, 95% CI: 1.17-8.09), and longer ICU length of stay (OR: 6.49, 95% CI: 3.31-9.67). Furthermore, furosemide administration was associated with lower risk of developing AKI (OR: 0.52, 95% CI: 0.27-0.97). Conclusion AKI is common and is associated with worse outcomes in patients with congenital heart disease. Our results emphasize the importance of early identification and monitoring of AKI in the pediatric CICU setting.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in cardiac surgery patients, with a reported incidence of 20 to 30%. The development of AKI is associated with worse short- and long-term mortality, and longer hospital length of stay. The pathogenesis of cardiac surgery-associated AKI is poorly understood but likely involves an interplay between preoperative comorbidities and perioperative stressors. AKI is commonly diagnosed by using increases in serum creatinine or decreased urine output and staged using a standardized definition such as the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes classification. Novel biomarkers under investigation may provide earlier detection and better prediction of AKI, enabling mitigating therapies early in the perioperative period. Recent clinical trials of cardiac surgery patients have demonstrated the benefit of goal-directed oxygen delivery, avoidance of hyperthermic perfusion and specific fluid and medication strategies. This review article highlights both advances and limitations regarding the prevention, prediction, and treatment of cardiac surgery-associated AKI.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury is common in hospitalised children and is associated with poor patient outcomes. Once acute kidney injury occurs, effective therapies to improve patient outcomes or kidney recovery are scarce. Early identification of children at risk of acute kidney injury or at an early injury stage is essential to prevent progression and mitigate complications. Paediatric acute kidney injury is under-recognised by clinicians, which is a barrier to optimisation of inpatient care and follow-up. Acute kidney injury definitions rely on functional biomarkers (ie, serum creatinine and urine output) that are inadequate, since they do not account for biological variability, analytical issues, or physiological responses to volume depletion. Improved predictive tools and diagnostic biomarkers of kidney injury are needed for earlier detection. Novel strategies, including biomarker-guided care algorithms, machine-learning methods, and electronic alerts tied to clinical decision support tools, could improve paediatric acute kidney injury care. Clinical prediction models should be studied in different paediatric populations and acute kidney injury phenotypes. Research is needed to develop and test prevention strategies for acute kidney injury in hospitalised children, including care bundles and therapeutics.

Abstract
Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is the most frequent congenital urinary tract malformation and an important risk factor for urinary tract infections (UTIs). Up to 50% of children with VUR may develop reflux nephropathy (RN), and the diagnosis and monitoring of renal scars are invasive and costly procedures, so it is paramount to find a non-invasive and accurate method to predict the risk of renal damage. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) has already proven to be a good predictive biomarker in acute kidney injuries, but there are few studies that have investigated the role of NGAL in primary VUR in children. Our aim is to review the predictive value of urine NGAL (uNGAL) as a non-invasive biomarker of RN in children with primary VUR, as well as its ability to predict the evolution of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Based on our analysis of the available original studies, uNGAL can be an accurate and reliable biomarker of RN and its progression to CKD. Some studies suggested a good correlation between VUR severity and uNGAL levels, but other studies found no significant correlation. The relationship between VUR severity and uNGAL levels is likely complex and influenced by factors such as UTIs, the timing of the urine sample collection, and the age and overall health of the patient.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) affects 47% of adult surgical critical care patients (ASCCPs). AKI is induced through a common oxidative stress pathway resulting in mitochondrial and tubular cell injury with increased urinary mitochondrial DNA (UmtDNA) excretion. UmtDNA is an emerging and readily sampled novel biomarker for varied surgical critical care cohorts. This review aimed to determine the clinical use of UmtDNA genes (ND1 and COX3) in AKI in ASCCPs. PubMed, MEDLINE and Web of Science databases were searched. Eligibility criteria were based on the patient/problem, intervention, comparison and outcome framework. Methodological quality of studies was assessed with the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale. WebPlot Digitizer version 4.4 was used to extract UmtDNA data from graphs and UmtDNA ratios were statistically analysed with PRISM version 9.1.0 (GraphPad Software). Six human studies (n = 391) with three translational murine models (n = 112) satisfied inclusion criteria. One sample t test suggested significantly high UmtDNA-ND1 ratios in progressive/severe AKI (or delayed renal transplant graft function) to no AKI (or immediate renal transplant graft function) and increased UmtDNA-COX3 ratios approached significance. Sensitivities and specificities for UmtDNA ranged from 68% to 85% and 52% to 83.6%, respectively, comparable with new biomarkers, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and kidney injury molecule-1. Weak correlation was observed with serum creatinine. These findings were complemented in translational murine AKI experiments with significantly elevated ND1 and COX3. From bench to clinical practice, UmtDNA appears to be a promising novel biomarker of progressive/severe AKI (or delayed graft function). Large prospective, multi-centre studies reporting standardised UmtDNA findings should clarify use of UmtDNA in ASCCP-AKI management.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease (CKD) after cardiac surgery are associated with poor renal prognosis and increased mortality. The impact of intraoperative hemodialysis (IHD) on postoperative renal function remains unknown. We aimed to evaluate the utility of IHD during open-heart surgery in patients with severe non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (CKD-NDD) and its association with clinical outcomes.
Methods
This was a single-center retrospective cohort study that employed IHD during non-emergency open-heart surgery in patients with CKD stage G4 or G5. Patients who underwent emergent surgery, chronic dialysis, and/or kidney transplantation were excluded. We retrospectively compared the clinical characteristics and outcomes between patients from the IHD and non-IHD groups. The primary outcomes were 90-day mortality and postoperative initiation of renal replacement therapy (RRT).
Results
Twenty-eight patients were categorized into the IHD group and 33 into the non-IHD group. When comparing the IHD and non-IHD groups, men accounted for 60.7 vs. 50.3% of patients, the mean patient age was 74.5 (standard deviation [SD] 7.0) vs. 72.9 (SD 9.4) years (p = 0.744), and the proportion of patients with CKD G4 was 67.9 vs. 84.9% (p = 0.138). Regarding clinical outcomes, no significant differences were observed in the 90-day mortality (7.1 vs. 3.0%; p = 0.482) and 30-day RRT (17.9 vs. 30.3%; p = 0.373) rates between the groups. Among the patients with CKD G4, the IHD group had significantly lower 30-day RRT rates than the non-IHD group (0 vs. 25.0%; p = 0.032). RRT initiation was less likely for patients with CKD G4 (odds ratio 0.07, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.01–0.37; p = 0.002); however, IHD did not significantly decrease the incidence of poor clinical outcomes (odds ratio 0.20, 95% CI 0.04–1.07; p = 0.061).
Conclusions
IHD during open-heart surgery in patients with CKD-NDD did not improve their clinical outcomes with regards to postoperative dialysis. However, for patients with CKD G4, IHD may be useful for postoperative cardiac management.

Abstract
PURPOSE Hyperuricemia may lead to silent tissue damage and increase the risk of some diseases, including kidney diseases. Increased serum uric acid concentration induces inflammatory pathways and promotes kidney damage. This study aimed to determine whether hyperuricemia influences the levels of urinary kidney injury markers in children and adolescents with hyperuricemia, assessed by the urinary concentrations of interleukin-18, a biomarker of inflammation, and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), a biomarker of kidney injury. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 73 children and adolescents (32 males and 41 females) aged 2-18 years. They were divided into two groups: hyperuricemia (HU) group (n = 48) and normouricemia - reference group (R) (n = 25). The concentrations of urinary interleukin-18 and KIM-1 were measured using an ELISA kit and were normalized for urinary creatinine (cr.) concentration. RESULTS The median interleukin-18/cr. Levels in the HU group were significantly higher than in the R group (median, Q1-Q3) 21.83 (11.32-35.96) and 12.68 (7.11-24.04), respectively, (p < 0.05). The KIM-1/cr. in the HU group and the R group were (median, Q1-Q3) 0.79 (0.45-1.03) and 0.81 (0.59-1.01), respectively, and the difference was not significant. KIM-1/cr. did not differ between the groups. Interleukin-18/cr. ratio correlated positively with serum uric acid concentration (r = 0.24, p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Interleukin-18/cr., but not KIM-1/cr. was higher in children with hyperuricemia. Hyperuricemia results in increased IL-18 in urine, in absence of other markers of kidney injury, suggesting inflammation in the kidney. Additional studies on the adults should be done, to confirm this hypothesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a major complication following pediatric cardiac surgery, which is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The early prediction of CSA-AKI before and immediately after surgery could significantly improve the implementation of preventive and therapeutic strategies during the perioperative periods. However, there is limited clinical information on how to identify pediatric patients at high risk of CSA-AKI. OBJECTIVE The study aims to develop and validate machine learning models to predict the development of CSA-AKI in the pediatric population. METHODS This retrospective cohort study enrolled patients aged 1 month to 18 years who underwent cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass at 3 medical centers of Central South University in China. CSA-AKI was defined according to the 2012 Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria. Feature selection was applied separately to 2 data sets: the preoperative data set and the combined preoperative and intraoperative data set. Multiple machine learning algorithms were tested, including K-nearest neighbor, naive Bayes, support vector machines, random forest, extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), and neural networks. The best performing model was identified in cross-validation by using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). Model interpretations were generated using the Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) method. RESULTS A total of 3278 patients from one of the centers were used for model derivation, while 585 patients from another 2 centers served as the external validation cohort. CSA-AKI occurred in 564 (17.2%) patients in the derivation cohort and 51 (8.7%) patients in the external validation cohort. Among the considered machine learning models, the XGBoost models achieved the best predictive performance in cross-validation. The AUROC of the XGBoost model using only the preoperative variables was 0.890 (95% CI 0.876-0.906) in the derivation cohort and 0.857 (95% CI 0.800-0.903) in the external validation cohort. When the intraoperative variables were included, the AUROC increased to 0.912 (95% CI 0.899-0.924) and 0.889 (95% CI 0.844-0.920) in the 2 cohorts, respectively. The SHAP method revealed that baseline serum creatinine level, perfusion time, body length, operation time, and intraoperative blood loss were the top 5 predictors of CSA-AKI. CONCLUSIONS The interpretable XGBoost models provide practical tools for the early prediction of CSA-AKI, which are valuable for risk stratification and perioperative management of pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor (sTNFR)1, sTNFR2, and plasma kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) are associated with kidney events in patients with and without diabetes. However, their associations with clinical outcomes when obtained pre-operatively have not been explored. METHODS The TRIBE-AKI cohort study is a prospective, multicenter, cohort study of high-risk adults undergoing cardiac surgery. We assessed the associations between pre-operative concentrations of plasma sTNFR1, sTNFR2, and KIM-1 and post-operative long-term outcomes including mortality, cardiovascular events, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) incidence or progression after discharge. RESULTS Among 1378 participants included in the analysis with a median follow-up period of 6.7 (IQR 4.0-7.9) years, 434 (31%) patients died, 256 (19%) experienced cardiovascular events and out of 837 with available long-term kidney function data, 30% developed CKD. After adjustment for clinical covariates, each log increase in biomarker concentration was independently associated with mortality with 95% CI adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) of 3.0 (2.3-4.0), 2.3 (1.8-2.9), and 2.0 (1.6-2.4) for sTNFR1, sTNFR2, and KIM-1, respectively. For cardiovascular events, the 95% CI aHRs were 2.1 (1.5-3.1), 1.9 (1.4-2.6) and 1.6 (1.2-2.1) for sTNFR1, sTNFR2 and KIM-1, respectively. For CKD events, the aHRs were 2.2 (1.5-3.1) for sTNFR1, 1.9 (1.3-2.7) for sTNFR2, and 1.7 (1.3-2.3) for KIM-1. Despite the associations, each of the biomarkers alone or in combination failed to result in robust discrimination on an absolute basis or compared to a clinical model. CONCLUSION sTNFR1, sTNFR2, and KIM-1 were independently associated with longitudinal outcomes after discharge from a cardiac surgery hospitalization including death, cardiovascular, and CKD events when obtained pre-operatively in high-risk individuals. Pre-operative plasma biomarkers could serve to assist during the evaluation of patients in whom cardiac surgery is planned.

Abstract
Aims The aim of this study was to systematically review relevant studies to evaluate the value of urinary interleukin-18 (uIL-18) in predicting acute kidney injury (AKI). Methods A comprehensive search of PubMed, Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Library was conducted for literature published up to 1 August 2022. Quality Assessment Tool for Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 (QUADAS-2) was applied to assess the literature quality. Then, relevant data were extracted from each eligible study and a random-effects regression model was utilized to pool sensitivity, specificity, and construct summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) and area under curve (AUC). Results Twenty-six studies with 7183 patients were enrolled and relevant information was extracted. The estimated sensitivity and specificity of uIL-18 in the diagnosis of AKI were 0.64 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.54–0.73) and 0.77 (95%CI: 0.71–0.83), respectively. The pooled diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) was 6.08 (95%CI: 3.63–10.18), and the AUC of uIL-18 in predicting AKI was 0.78 (95%CI: 0.74–0.81). Subgroup analysis showed that uIL-18 in pediatric patients was more effective in predicting AKI than in adults (DOR: 7.33 versus 5.75; AUC: 0.81 versus 0.77). Conclusions Urinary IL-18 could be a relatively good biomarker with moderate predictive value for AKI, especially in pediatric patients. However, further research and clinical settings are still needed to validate our findings.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in children and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. In the last decade our understanding of AKI has improved significantly, and it is now considered a systemic disorder that affects other organs including heart, lung, and brain. In spite of its limitations, serum creatinine remains the mainstay in the diagnosis of AKI. However, newer approaches such as urinary biomarkers, furosemide stress test, and clinical decision support are being increasingly used and have the potential to improve the accuracy and timeliness of AKI diagnosis.

Abstract
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in nephrology and its associated clinical research is growing. Recent years have seen increased interest in utilizing AI to predict the development of hospital-based acute kidney injury (AKI). Several AI techniques have been employed to improve the ability to detect AKI across a variety of hospitalized settings. This review discusses the evolutions of AKI risk prediction discussing the static risk assessment models of yesteryear as well as the more recent trend toward AI and advanced learning techniques. We discuss the relative improvement in AKI detection as well as the relative dearth of data around the clinical implementation and patient outcomes using these models. The use of AI for AKI detection and clinical care is in its infancy, and this review describes how we arrived at our current position and hints at the promise of the future.

[PMID: 35877572 PMCID: PMC9317610 DOI: 10.3390/jcdd9070210] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2022] [Revised: 06/14/2022] [Accepted: 06/24/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
We have recently shown that minor subclinical creatinine dynamic changes enable the excellent detection of acute kidney injury (AKI) within 6–12 h after cardiac surgery. The aim of the present study was to examine a combination of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), cystatin C (CysC) and creatinine for enhanced AKI detection early after cardiac surgery. Elective patients with normal renal function undergoing cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass were enrolled. Concentrations of plasma NGAL, serum CysC and serum creatinine were determined after the induction of general anesthesia, at the termination of the cardiopulmonary bypass and 2 h thereafter. Out of 119 enrolled patients, 51 (43%) developed AKI. A model utilizing an NGAL, CysC and creatinine triple biomarker panel including sequential relative changes provides a better prediction of cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury than any biomarker alone already 2 h after the termination of the cardiopulmonary bypass. The area under the receiver-operator curve was 0.77, sensitivity 77% and specificity 68%.

Abstract
Heart and kidney failure often co-exist and confer high morbidity and mortality. The complex bi-directional nature of heart and kidney dysfunction is referred to as cardiorenal syndrome, and can be induced by acute or chronic dysfunction of either organ or secondary to systemic diseases. The five clinical subtypes of cardiorenal syndrome are categorized by the perceived primary precipitant of organ injury but lack precision. Traditional biomarkers such as serum creatinine are also limited in their ability to provide an early and accurate diagnosis of cardiorenal syndrome. Novel biomarkers have the potential to assist in the diagnosis of cardiorenal syndrome and guide treatment by evaluating the relative roles of implicated pathophysiological pathways such as hemodynamic dysfunction, neurohormonal activation, endothelial dysfunction, inflammation and oxidative stress, and fibrosis. In this review, we assess the utility of biomarkers that correlate with kidney and cardiac (dys)function, inflammation/oxidative stress, fibrosis, and cell cycle arrest, as well as emerging novel biomarkers (thrombospondin-1/CD47, glycocalyx and interleukin-1β) that may provide prediction and prognostication of cardiorenal syndrome, and guide potential development of targeted therapeutics.

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

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE ARTICLE Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery in children with congenital heart disease (CHD) is a serious complication closely associated with high morbidity and mortality. Despite numerous studies on AKI in children, most studies have excluded neonates. We sought to characterize AKI associated with cardiac surgery in neonates, determine its incidence, perioperative and postoperative risk factors, and short-term results. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 177 neonates who were operated on for CHD in our hospital between January 2015 and December 2019. Data of the patients were analyzed according to nKDIGO (neonatal Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes) and nRIFLE (neonatal Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss of function, End-stage kidney disease) criteria for evaluating AKI retrospectively. Data of groups with and without AKI were analyzed. RESULTS The average age of 177 neonates were 8.2 ± 6.1 (1-28) days. Twenty-two (12.4%) neonates had CS-AKI defined according to nKDIGO criteria. Four (2.3%) neonates reached nKDIGO stage I, 1 (0.6%) reached stage II, 17 (9.6%) reached stage III. Thirty-eight (21.5%) neonates had CS-AKI defined according to nRIFLE criteria. Twenty-four (13.6%) neonates reached nRIFLE stage risk(R), 6 (3.4%) reached stage injury(I), 8 (4.5%) reached stage failure (F). The incidence of cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) in neonates was 12.5% and 21.5% for nKDIGO and nRIFLE, respectively. The percentage difference between nKDIGO and nRIFLE for AKI assessment was due to the criteria for nRIFLE stage risk(R) urine output < 1.5 mL/kg/h for 24 h. In both classifications, the duration of cardiopulmonary bypass, operation, inotropic treatment, and mechanical ventilation, length of intensive care unit (ICU), and hospital stay were significantly higher in the AKI group than those without AKI group (p˂.05). The mortality rate in the groups with AKI was found to be significantly higher (p˂.05) than in the groups without AKI. In Kappa analysis, when two classifications were compared according to AKI stages, a significant agreement was found between nKDIGO and nRIFLE classifications (p˂.05) (Kappa: 0.299). CONCLUSION AKI and mortality rates were similar between groups according to the nKDIGO and nRIFLE criteria. For early prediction of AKI and adverse outcomes, diagnostic reference intervals might be specified in more detail in neonates undergoing cardiac surgery for CHD.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in hospitalized patients of all ages and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Accurate prediction and early identification of AKI is of utmost importance because no therapy exists to mitigate AKI once it has occurred. Yet, serum creatinine lacks adequate sensitivity and specificity, and quantification of urine output is challenging in incontinent children without indwelling bladder catheters. Integration of clinically available biomarkers have the potential to delineate unique AKI phenotypes that could have important prognostic and therapeutic implications. Plasma Cystatin C, urine neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL) and the urinary product of tissue inhibitor metalloproteinase (TIMP-2) and insulin growth factor binding protein-7 (IGFBP7) are clinically available. These biomarkers have been studied in heterogenous populations across the age spectrum and in a variety of clinical settings for prediction of AKI. The purpose of this review is to describe and discuss the clinically available AKI biomarkers including how they have been used to delineate AKI phenotypes.

Abstract
Renal fibrosis is the pathological repair reaction of the kidney to chronic injury, which is an important process of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progressing to end-stage renal failure. Nephrolithiasis is one of the most common renal diseases, with waist and abdomen pain, hematuria, urinary tract infection, and other clinical symptoms, which can increase the risk of renal fibrosis. Oxalate crystal-induced kidney injury is an early stage of nephrolithiasis; it is of great significance to explore the mechanism for the prevention and treatment of nephrolithiasis. A rodent model of calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystal-induced kidney injury was used in the present study, and a network analysis method combining proteomics and metabolomics was conducted to reveal the mechanism of crystal kidney injury and to provide potential targets for the intervention of nephrolithiasis. Using the metabolomics method based on the UHPLC-Q/TOF-MS platform and the iTRAQ quantitative proteomics method, we screened a total of 244 metabolites and 886 proteins from the kidney tissues that had significant changes in the Crystal group compared with that in the Control group. Then, the ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) was applied to construct a protein-to-metabolic regulatory network by correlating and integrating differential metabolites and proteins. The results showed that CaOx crystals could induce inflammatory reactions and oxidative stress through Akt, ERK1/2, and P38 MAPK pathways and affect amino acid metabolism and fatty acid β-oxidation to result in kidney injury, thus providing an important direction for the early prevention and treatment of nephrolithiasis.

Abstract
Inflammasomes are multiprotein complexes with an important role in the innate immune response. Canonical activation of inflammasomes results in caspase-1 activation and maturation of cytokines interleukin-1β and -18. These cytokines can elicit their effects through receptor activation, both locally within a certain tissue and systemically. Animal models of kidney diseases have shown inflammasome involvement in inflammation, pyroptosis and fibrosis. In particular, the inflammasome component nucleotide-binding domain-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) and related canonical mechanisms have been investigated. However, it has become increasingly clear that other inflammasome components are also of importance in kidney disease. Moreover, it is becoming obvious that the range of molecular interaction partners of inflammasome components in kidney diseases is wide. This review provides insights into these current areas of research, with special emphasis on the interaction of inflammasome components and redox signalling, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and mitochondrial function. We present our findings separately for acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. As we strictly divided the results into preclinical and clinical data, this review enables comparison of results from those complementary research specialities. However, it also reveals that knowledge gaps exist, especially in clinical acute kidney injury inflammasome research. Furthermore, patient comorbidities and treatments seem important drivers of inflammasome component alterations in human kidney disease.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is characterized by a sudden decrease in kidney function. Children with congenital heart disease are a special group at risk of developing AKI. We performed a systematic review of the literature to search for studies reporting the usefulness of novel urine, serum, and plasma biomarkers in the diagnosis and progression of AKI and their association with clinical outcomes in children undergoing pediatric cardiac surgery. In thirty studies, we analyzed the capacity to predict AKI and poor outcomes of five biomarkers: Cystatin C, Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, Interleukin-18, Kidney injury molecule-1, and Liver fatty acid-binding protein. In conclusion, we suggest the need for further meta-analyses with the availability of additional studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury is a serious complication that occurs in the context of an acute critical illness or during a postoperative period. Earlier detection of acute kidney injury may facilitate strategies to preserve renal function, prevent further disease progression and reduce mortality. Acute kidney injury diagnosis relies on a rise in serum creatinine levels and/or fall in urine output; however, creatinine is an imperfect marker of kidney function. There is interest in the performance of novel biomarkers used in conjunction with existing clinical assessment, such as NephroCheck® (Astute Medical, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA), ARCHITECT® urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) (Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, IL, USA), and urine and plasma BioPorto NGAL (BioPorto Diagnostics A/S, Hellerup, Denmark) immunoassays. If reliable, these biomarkers may enable earlier identification of acute kidney injury and enhance management of those with a modifiable disease course. OBJECTIVE The objective was to evaluate the role of biomarkers for assessing acute kidney injury in critically ill patients who are considered for admission to critical care. DATA SOURCES Major electronic databases, conference abstracts and ongoing studies were searched up to June 2019, with no date restrictions. MEDLINE, EMBASE, Health Technology Assessment Database, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, World Health Organization Global Index Medicus, EU Clinical Trials Register, International Clinical Trials Registry Platform and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched. REVIEW METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to evaluate the performance of novel biomarkers for the detection of acute kidney injury and prediction of other relevant clinical outcomes. Random-effects models were adopted to combine evidence. A decision tree was developed to evaluate costs and quality-adjusted life-years accrued as a result of changes in short-term outcomes (up to 90 days), and a Markov model was used to extrapolate results over a lifetime time horizon. RESULTS A total of 56 studies (17,967 participants), mainly prospective cohort studies, were selected for inclusion. No studies addressing the clinical impact of the use of biomarkers on patient outcomes, compared with standard care, were identified. The main sources of bias across studies were a lack of information on blinding and the optimal threshold for NGAL. For prediction studies, the reporting of statistical details was limited. Although the meta-analyses results showed the potential ability of these biomarkers to detect and predict acute kidney injury, there were limited data to establish any causal link with longer-term health outcomes and there were considerable clinical differences across studies. Cost-effectiveness results were highly uncertain, largely speculative and should be interpreted with caution in the light of the limited evidence base. To illustrate the current uncertainty, 15 scenario analyses were undertaken. Incremental quality-adjusted life-years were very low across all scenarios, ranging from positive to negative increments. Incremental costs were also small, in general, with some scenarios generating cost savings with tests dominant over standard care (cost savings with quality-adjusted life-year gains). However, other scenarios generated results whereby the candidate tests were more costly with fewer quality-adjusted life-years, and were thus dominated by standard care. Therefore, it was not possible to determine a plausible base-case incremental cost-effectiveness ratio for the tests, compared with standard care. LIMITATIONS Clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness results were hampered by the considerable heterogeneity across identified studies. Economic model predictions should also be interpreted cautiously because of the unknown impact of NGAL-guided treatment, and uncertain causal links between changes in acute kidney injury status and changes in health outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Current evidence is insufficient to make a full appraisal of the role and economic value of these biomarkers and to determine whether or not they provide cost-effective improvements in the clinical outcomes of acute kidney injury patients. FUTURE WORK Future studies should evaluate the targeted use of biomarkers among specific patient populations and the clinical impact of their routine use on patient outcomes and management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elderly patients are at increased risk of developing acute kidney injury (AKI) following major surgery and rapid diagnosis is essential. AIM This study aimed to examine the potential utility of plasma neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin levels in early prediction of AKI in geriatric patients undergoing laparotomic oncological surgery. METHODS This prospective single-center cohort study included 60 geriatric patients (≥ 65 years of age) that underwent major oncologic surgery with laparotomy. Perioperative measurements of plasma creatinine, blood urinary nitrogen, plasma lactate, urine output, and neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL) were made. Patients were followed for AKI development, which is the primary outcome measure, and predictive role of NGAL was investigated. RESULTS At 48 h follow-up, AKI developed in 13 patients (21.7%). Significant differences in creatinine (p < 0.001), NGAL (p < 0.001), and urine output levels (p = 0.001) were evident over time between the two groups. High NGAL measurements at 6 and 24 h after surgery seem to be highly predictive of AKI development. At 6 h, a plasma NGAL level greater than 71.8 ng/mL has a sensitivity and specificity of 85% and 81% in predicting subsequent AKI development. CONCLUSIONS Plasma NGAL levels seem to represent an early and reliable marker for AKI in elderly patients undergoing laparotomic surgery with the potential to allow early diagnosis and prevent further renal deterioration. Further confirmatory studies are warranted. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study was registered to ClinicalTrials.gov (number, NCT05030727). IMPLICATION STATEMENT Elderly patients are at increased risk of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI). This study shows that plasma neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin is a helpful marker to predict AKI in elderly patients undergoing laparotomic major surgery, which will allow early diagnosis and prevent further renal deterioration in this vulnerable patient group.

Abstract
Background Few studies have described associations between the AKI biomarkers urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) with AKI in cisplatin-treated children. We aimed to describe excretion patterns of urine NGAL and KIM-1 and associations with AKI in children receiving cisplatin. Methods Participants (n=159) were enrolled between 2013 and 2017 in a prospective cohort study conducted in 12 Canadian pediatric hospitals. Participants were evaluated at early cisplatin infusions (at first or second cisplatin cycle) and late cisplatin infusions (last or second-to-last cycle). Urine NGAL and KIM-1 were measured (1) pre-cisplatin infusion, (2) post-infusion (morning after), and (3) at hospital discharge at early and late cisplatin infusions. Primary outcome: AKI defined by serum creatinine rise within 10 days post-cisplatin, on the basis of Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes guidelines criteria (stage 1 or higher). Results Of 159 children, 156 (median [interquartile range (IQR)] age: 5.8 [2.4-12.0] years; 78 [50%] female) had biomarker data available at early cisplatin infusions and 127 had data at late infusions. Forty six of the 156 (29%) and 22 of the 127 (17%) children developed AKI within 10 days of cisplatin administration after early and late infusions, respectively. Urine NGAL and KIM-1 concentrations were significantly higher in patients with versus without AKI (near hospital discharge of late cisplatin infusion, median [IQR] NGAL levels were 76.1 [10.0-232.7] versus 14.9 [5.4-29.7] ng/mg creatinine; KIM-1 levels were 4415 [2083-9077] versus 1049 [358-3326] pg/mg creatinine; P<0.01). These markers modestly discriminated for AKI (area under receiver operating characteristic curve [AUC-ROC] range: NGAL, 0.56-0.72; KIM-1, 0.48-0.75). Biomarker concentrations were higher and better discriminated for AKI at late cisplatin infusions (AUC-ROC range, 0.54-0.75) versus early infusions (AUC-ROC range, 0.48-0.65). Conclusions Urine NGAL and KIM-1 were modest at discriminating for cisplatin-associated AKI. Further research is needed to determine clinical utility and applicability of these markers and associations with late kidney outcomes.

Abstract
Our aim was to evaluate biochemical markers in plasma (NGAL, CysC) and urine (NGAL, KIM-1) in children's early onset of acute kidney injury after congenital heart defect surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass. This study prospectively included 100 children with congenital heart defects who developed AKI. Patients with acute kidney injury had significantly higher CysC levels 6 and 12 h after cardiac surgery and plasma NGAL levels 2 and 6 h after cardiac surgery. The best predictive properties for the development of acute kidney injury are the combination (+CysCpl or +NGALu) after 12 h and a combination (+CysCpl and +NGALu) 6 and 24 h after cardiac surgery. We showed that plasma CysC and urinary NGAL could reliably predict the development of acute kidney injury. Measurement of early biochemical markers in plasma and urine, individually and combination, may predict the development of cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury in children.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Urine alpha-1-microglobulin (Uα1m) elevations signal proximal tubule dysfunction. In ambulatory settings, higher Uα1m is associated with acute kidney injury (AKI), progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD), cardiovascular (CV) events, and mortality. We investigated the associations of pre- and postoperative Uα1m concentrations with adverse outcomes after cardiac surgery. METHODS In 1,464 adults undergoing cardiac surgery in the prospective multicenter Translational Research Investigating Biomarker Endpoints for Acute Kidney Injury (TRIBE-AKI) cohort, we measured the pre-and postoperative Uα1m concentrations and calculated the changes from pre- to postoperative concentrations. Outcomes were postoperative AKI during index hospitalization and longitudinal risks for CKD incidence and progression, CV events, and all-cause mortality after discharge. We analyzed Uα1m continuously and categorically by tertiles using multivariable logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards regression adjusted for demographics, surgery characteristics, comorbidities, baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate, urine albumin, and urine creatinine. RESULTS There were 230 AKI events during cardiac surgery hospitalization; during median 6.7 years of follow-up, there were 212 cases of incident CKD, 54 cases of CKD progression, 269 CV events, and 459 deaths. Each 2-fold higher concentration of preoperative Uα1m was independently associated with AKI (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.36, 95% confidence interval 1.14-1.62), CKD progression (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] = 1.46, 1.04-2.05), and all-cause mortality (aHR = 1.19, 1.06-1.33) but not with incident CKD (aHR = 1.21, 0.96-1.51) or CV events (aHR = 1.01, 0.86-1.19). Postoperative Uα1m was not associated with AKI (aOR per 2-fold higher = 1.07, 0.93-1.22), CKD incidence (aHR = 0.90, 0.79-1.03) or progression (aHR = 0.79, 0.56-1.11), CV events (aHR = 1.06, 0.94-1.19), and mortality (aHR = 1.01, 0.92-1.11). CONCLUSION Preoperative Uα1m concentrations may identify patients at high risk of AKI and other adverse events after cardiac surgery, but postoperative Uα1m concentrations do not appear to be informative.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Older patients have a higher cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) related mortality. Low oxygen delivery (DO2) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a risk factor for CSA-AKI, but critical DO2 thresholds for older patients are unknown. This study investigated critical DO2 thresholds for CSA-AKI in patients ≥70 years undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery. METHODS Patients were enrolled from July 2015 until August 2017. CPB data from 432 patients were collected, and DO2 values were calculated per minute. The primary outcome was CSA-AKI. The association between DO2 and CSA-AKI was analysed with multivariable regression analysis. Multiple DO2 thresholds were analysed. The association between CSA-AKI and the area below the DO2 thresholds (DO2 deficit) was evaluated, as was the association between frailty and CSA-AKI. RESULTS CSA-AKI occurred in 63 (14.6%) patients. Mean and nadir (lowest) DO2 values were lower in patients with CSA-AKI (283 vs 312 ml/min/m2; P-value <0.001 and 238 vs 270 ml/min/m2; P-value <0.001, respectively). The adjusted relative risk for CSA-AKI was 1.006 [99% confidence interval (CI) 1.001-1.012] per ml/min/m2 nadir DO2 decrease. The critical DO2 threshold was 270 ml/min/m2 [adjusted relative risk 2.06 (99% CI 1.33-2.80)]. The DO2 deficit below 270 ml/min/m2 was associated with CSA-AKI [adjusted relative risk 2.84 (99% CI 1.87-3.81)]. No association between frailty and CSA-AKI was found (P = 0.82). CONCLUSIONS Low DO2 increased the risk for CSA-AKI in older patients who had cardiac surgery. A critical DO2 threshold of 270 ml/min/m2 was applicable for frail and non-frail patients. The efficacy of a DO2 >270 ml/min/m2 to reduce CSA-AKI in older patients needs further evaluation.

Abstract
Complex molecular cell dynamics in acute kidney injury and its heterogeneous etiologies in patient populations in clinical settings have revealed the potential advantages and disadvantages of emerging novel damage biomarkers. Imaging techniques have been developed over the past decade to further our understanding about diseased organs, including the kidneys. Understanding the compositional, structural, and functional changes in damaged kidneys via several imaging modalities would enable a more comprehensive analysis of acute kidney injury, including its risks, diagnosis, and prognosis. This review summarizes recent imaging studies for acute kidney injury and discusses their potential utility in clinical settings.

[PMID: 34219024 DOI: 10.1016/j.hlc.2021.05.084] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2021] [Revised: 03/16/2021] [Accepted: 05/06/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Cardiac Surgery-Associated Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (CSA-NGAL) score has been developed to stratify patients with cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI). Its predictive power needs to be validated to guide clinical decision for such high-risk patients. METHODS A prospective study was conducted on 637 consecutive adult patients who developed postoperative AKI after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. AKI was defined according to Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria (KDIGO). The CSA-NGAL score was calculated. Assessment of the diagnostic performance of the scoring model was performed by area under the receiver operating curve analysis. RESULTS The area under the curve for the postoperative Urinary NGAL showed an area under the curve ([standard error (SE)] 0.80 (0.38); p<0.001; 95% CI, 0.72-0.87). Its sensitivity for CSA-AKI in the first 24 hours was 66% and specificity was 80% (cut-off value 300.1 ng/mL). There was a positive correlation between NGAL score and KDIGO criteria, with a significant increase in postoperative mean Urinary NGAL values as the KDIGO stage increased. CONCLUSION The CSA-NGAL score has a high sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value that can translate into improved outcomes and resource allocation. It is believed that adding it to the existing clinical scoring systems for AKI prediction will be productive.

Abstract
Pediatric acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequently missed complication. AKI has a significant impact on both short- and long-term outcomes in children. Within the last decade, there have been major landmark developments in this field of critical care pediatric nephrology. The topic was searched by two independent researchers using Google Scholar and PubMed and related studies published in the last 10 years. The terms used for the search were 'pediatric acute kidney injury,' 'pediatric acute renal failure,' 'pediatric dialysis,' 'biomarkers,' 'nephrotoxins,' 'nephrotoxicity in children,' and 'pediatric critical care nephrology.' We found that AKI is common in critically ill neonates and children. Among the various definitions, the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) definition is most commonly used. In addition, it is imperative to risk stratify sick children at admission in the hospital to predict AKI and worse outcomes as this aids in early management. There are now major landmark trials that describe the epidemiology, prevention, and management guidelines in this field and health care professionals need to be aware they should diagnose AKI early. Overall, this review highlights the landmark studies in the last decade and shows that early diagnosis and management of AKI in 'at risk' children can improve outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sickle cell anaemia is characterized by defective haemoglobin synthesis and is associated with both endocrine and metabolic alterations. The effects of this clinical condition on kidney function are multifactorial and often begin early in childhood. This study aims to assess renal function in children with sickle cell anaemia using urine albumin:creatinine ratio (ACR) and urine human neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL). METHODS This case-control study was conducted on 200 children aged 5-15 years in 2 tertiary hospitals in South West Nigeria: 150 were of haemoglobin S genotype and 50 were of haemoglobin A genotype. Serum urea, creatinine, urine albumin, and NGAL were assayed by known standard methods. eGFR, urine ACR, and urine NGAL/creatinine ratio (urine NCR) were calculated. RESULTS The weight, height, BMI, systolic blood pressure, plasma urea, plasma creatinine, and spot urine creatinine of the HbS genotype children were significantly lower compared to that of the HbA genotype children. The eGFR, spot urine albumin, and urine ACR were significantly higher in the HbS group compared to the HbA group. There was no significant difference in the spot urine NGAL and urine NCR between the 2 groups, though both were higher in the HbS group compared to the HbA group. CONCLUSIONS Kidney injury probably starts early in childhood in sickle cell individuals as indicated by the higher urine ACR detected in them. We infer that urine NGAL and uNCR are not sensitive markers of kidney disease especially in young sickle cell individuals possibly because of the hyperfiltration present at this age.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Children undergoing a cardiac surgical procedure are at increased risk for acute kidney injury (AKI). Novel biomarkers are needed to improve risk stratification of AKI after cardiac surgery. METHODS We enrolled children aged 1 month to 18 years old from July 2007 to December 2010 undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass. Three United States Food and Drug Administration-approved plasma biomarkers of cardiac stretch, N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP), inflammation (ST2), or fibrosis (galectin-3), were measured preoperatively and postoperatively within 6 hours of cardiac surgery. All analyses were stratified by age (<2 or ≥2 years old) to account for changing biomarker distributions during childhood and due to a significant interaction between biomarker and age for galectin-3 and NTproBNP (P < .05). RESULTS Postoperatively, AKI, defined by a doubling of baseline serum creatinine, was diagnosed in 51 of 194 children <2 years and in 28 of 201 children ≥2 years. After multivariable adjustment, for children <2 years, none of the biomarkers were independently associated with AKI, whereas for children ≥2 years, the highest tertile of preoperative galectin-3 and NTproBNP as well as the postoperative galectin-3 and ST2 were associated with AKI. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative plasma galectin-3 and NTproBNP and the first postoperative galectin-3 and ST2 levels were independently associated with AKI in children ≥2 years old. The performance of cardiac biomarkers after cardiac surgical procedure is affected by age, and research is required to develop biomarkers for children <2 years old.

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

Abstract
Acute kidney injury is a common complication of acute illnesses and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Over the past years several acute kidney injury biomarkers for diagnostication, decision-making processes, and prognosis of acute kidney injury and its outcomes have been developed and validated. Among these biomarkers, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7), the so-called cell cycle arrest biomarkers, showed a superior profile of accuracy and stability even in patients with substantial comorbidities. Therefore, in 2014, the US Food and Drug Administration approved the use of the product of TIMP-2 and IGFBP7 ([TIMP-2] × [IGFBP7]), known as cell cycle arrest biomarkers, to aid critical care physicians and nephrologists in the early prediction of acute kidney injury in the critical care setting. To date, Nephrocheck® is the only commercially available test for [TIMP-2] × [IGFBP7]. In this narrative review, we describe the growing clinical and investigational momentum of biomarkers, focusing on [TIMP-2] × [IGFBP7], as one of the most promising candidate biomarkers. Additionally, we review the current state of clinical implementation of Nephrocheck®.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute Kidney Injury is a complication in children with heart disease undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. The aim of this study is to describe the behavior of KIM-1 (Kidney Injury Molecule) and NGAL (Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin) as early predictors of renal damage, comparing them with serum creatinine and creatinine clearance, in neonates undergoing cardiac surgery. METHODS Twenty-one (21) neonates, under 4 kg, with complex congenital heart diseases, RACHS-1 > 3, without preoperative renal failure, were studied. Serum creatinine and creatinine clearance were measured preoperatively and at 24, 48, 72, 96 hours postoperatively. Urinary samples of KIM-1(pg/ml) and NGAL (ng/ml) were collected after induction of anesthesia at 24 and 48 hours post-operatively. RESULTS nRIFLE criteria were used to divide cohorts in "NO AKI" (12 patients) and "AKI" (nine patients). In the AKI group, serum creatinine increased significantly and creatinine clearance decreased significantly at 24, 48, and 72 hours compared with their respective baseline values. There was no difference in KIM-1 and NGAL values between patients who developed AKI and those who did not at any measured time. CONCLUSIONS The deterioration of renal function continues to be one of the most frequent complications in this population. In our study, biomarkers did not show any correlation with the appearance of AKI. It remains to be seen whether this behavior of the biomarkers is linked with the non-consistent release of these types of molecules in immature kidneys. It is likely that a larger panel of biomarkers together with other glomerular filtration rate assessment methods will provide more information about AKI diagnosis.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a threatening medical condition associated with poor outcomes at different settings. The development of standardized diagnostic criteria and new biomarkers addressed significant clinical impacts of AKI and the need for an early AKI detection, respectively. There have been some breakthroughs in understanding the pathogenesis of AKI through basic research; however, treatments against AKI aside from renal replacement therapy (RRT) have not shown adequate successful results. Biomarkers that could identify good responders to certain treatment are expected to facilitate translation of basic research findings. Most patients with severe AKI treated with RRT died due to multiple-organ failure, not renal dysfunction. Hence, it is essential to identify other organ dysfunctions induced by AKI as organ crosstalk. Also, a multidisciplinary approach of critical care nephrology is needed to evaluate a complex organ crosstalk in AKI. For disruptive innovation for AKI, we further explore these new aspects of AKI, which previously were considered outside the scope of nephrology.
