White KC, Serpa-Neto A, Hurford R, Clement P, Laupland KB, Ostermann M, Sanderson B, Gatton M, Bellomo R. How a positive fluid balance develops in acute kidney injury: A binational, observational study. J Crit Care 2024; 82:154809. [PMID: 38609773 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcrc.2024.154809] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 12/03/2023] [Accepted: 01/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE A positive fluid balance (FB) is associated with harm in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). We aimed to understand how a positive balance develops in such patients. METHODS Multinational, retrospective cohort study of critically ill patients with AKI not requiring renal replacement therapy. RESULTS AKI occurred at a median of two days after admission in 7894 (17.3%) patients. Cumulative FB became progressively positive, peaking on day three despite only 848 (10.7%) patients receiving fluid resuscitation in the ICU. In those three days, persistent crystalloid use (median:60.0 mL/h; IQR 28.9-89.2), nutritional intake (median:18.2 mL/h; IQR 0.0-45.9) and limited urine output (UO) (median:70.8 mL/h; IQR 49.0-96.7) contributed to a positive FB. Although UO increased each day, it failed to match input, with only 797 (10.1%) patients receiving diuretics in ICU. After adjustment, a positive FB four days after AKI diagnosis was associated with an increased risk of hospital mortality (OR 1.12;95% confidence intervals 1.05-1.19;p-value <0.001). CONCLUSION Among ICU patients with AKI, cumulative FB increased after diagnosis and was associated with an increased risk of mortality. Continued crystalloid administration, increased nutritional intake, limited UO, and minimal use of diuretics all contributed to positive FB. KEY POINTS Question How does a positive fluid balance develop in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury? Findings Cumulative FB increased after AKI diagnosis and was secondary to persistent crystalloid fluid administration, increasing nutritional fluid intake, and insufficient urine output. Despite the absence of resuscitation fluid and an increasing cumulative FB, there was persistently low diuretics use, ongoing crystalloid use, and a progressive escalation of nutritional fluid therapy. Meaning Current management results in fluid accumulation after diagnosis of AKI, as a result of ongoing crystalloid administration, increasing nutritional fluid, limited urine output and minimal diuretic use.

Abstract
In this review, we aimed to comprehensively summarize current literature on pathophysiology, relevance, diagnosis and treatment of fluid accumulation in patients with sepsis/septic shock. Fluid accumulation syndrome (FAS) is defined as fluid accumulation (any degree, expressed as percentage from baseline body weight) with new onset organ-failure. Over the years, many studies have described the negative impact of FAS on clinically relevant outcomes. While the relationship between FAS and ICU outcomes is well described, uncertainty exists regarding its diagnosis, monitoring and treatment. A stepwise approach is suggested to prevent and treat FAS in patients with septic shock, including minimizing fluid intake (e.g., by limiting intravenous fluid administration and employing de-escalation whenever possible), limiting sodium and chloride administration, and maximizing fluid output (e.g., with diuretics, or renal replacement therapy). Current literature implies the need for a multi-tier, multi-modal approach to de-resuscitation, combining a restrictive fluid management regime with a standardized early active de-resuscitation, maintenance fluid reduction (avoiding fluid creep) and potentially using physical measures such as compression stockings.Trial registration: Not applicable.

Abstract
PURPOSE To explore the association of estimated plasma volume (ePV) and plasma volume status (PVS) as surrogates of volume status with new-onset AKI and in-hospital mortality among hospitalized COVID-19 patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective multi-center study on COVID-19-related ARDS patients who were admitted to the Mayo Clinic Enterprise health system. Plasma volume was calculated using the formulae for ePV and PVS, and longitudinal analysis was performed to find the association of ePV and PVS with new-onset AKI during hospitalization as the primary outcome and in-hospital mortality as a secondary outcome. RESULTS Our analysis included 7616 COVID-19 patients with new-onset AKI occurring in 1365 (17.9%) and a mortality rate of 25.96% among them. A longitudinal multilevel multivariate analysis showed both ePV (OR 1.162; 95% CI 1.048-1.288, p=0.004) and PVS (OR 1.032; 95% CI 1.012-1.050, p=0.001) were independent predictors of new onset AKI. Higher PVS was independently associated with increased in-hospital mortality (OR 1.038, 95% CI 1.007-1.070, p=0.017), but not ePV (OR 0.868, 95% CI 0.740-1.018, p=0.082). CONCLUSION A higher PVS correlated with a higher incidence of new-onset AKI and worse outcomes in our cohort of hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Further large-scale and prospective studies are needed to understand its utility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although loop diuretics (LDs) have been widely used in clinical practice, their effect on mortality when administered to patients experiencing cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) remains unknown. The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of LD use in patients with CS-AKI. METHODS Patients who underwent cardiac surgery with AKI were identified from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III. Postoperative LD use in intensive care units (ICUs) was exposure. There were 2 primary outcome measures, the in-hospital mortality and ICU mortality; both were treated as time-to-event data and were analyzed via multivariable Cox proportional hazard models. Inverse probability weighting (IPW) was used to minimize bias. RESULTS The study enrolled a total of 5478 patients, with a median age of 67 years, among which 2205 (40.3%) were women. The crude in-hospital and ICU mortality rates were significantly lower in the LD use group (525 of 4150 [12.7%] vs 434 of 1328 [32.7%], P < .001; 402 of 4150 [9.69%] vs 333 of 1328 [25.1%], P < .001). Adjusted hazard ratios suggested significant reductions in both in-hospital (hazard ratio [HR], 0.428; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.374-0.489) and ICU mortality (HR, 0.278; 95% CI, 0.238-0.327). The IPW data showed a similar reduction, in-hospital mortality (HR, 0.434; 95% CI, 0.376-0.502) and ICU mortality (HR, 0.296; 95% CI, 0.251-0.349). Such association may act differently for patients with different fluid balance ( P value for interaction < .001). CONCLUSIONS LD use is associated with lower hospital and ICU mortality in CS-AKI patients in general. Patients under different conditions showed diverse responses toward such treatment indicating that personalized management is needed.

Abstract
Sepsis-associated kidney injury is common in critically ill patients and significantly increases morbidity and mortality rates. Several complex pathophysiological factors contribute to its presentation and perpetuation, including macrocirculatory and microcirculatory changes, mitochondrial dysfunction, and metabolic reprogramming. Recovery from acute kidney injury (AKI) relies on the evolution towards adaptive mechanisms such as endothelial repair and tubular cell regeneration, while maladaptive repair increases the risk of progression to chronic kidney disease. Fundamental management strategies include early sepsis recognition and prompt treatment, through the administration of adequate antimicrobial agents, fluid resuscitation, and vasoactive agents as needed. In septic patients, organ-specific support is often required, particularly renal replacement therapy (RRT) in the setting of severe AKI, although ongoing debates persist regarding the ideal timing of initiation and dosing of RRT. A comprehensive approach integrating early recognition, targeted interventions, and close monitoring is essential to mitigate the burden of SA-AKI and improve patient outcomes in critical care settings.

Abstract
Acute tubular necrosis (ATN) is a serious medical condition characterized by the rapid destruction of renal tubular epithelial cells, resulting in acute kidney injury, given its multifactorial etiologies, which can include nephrotoxic agents, ischemic insults, hypovolemia, and sepsis. We report the case of a young male patient who presented with recurrent worsening kidney function with bland sediment that was confirmed with multiple kidney biopsies as recurrent attacks of ATN of unclear etiology, which did not respond to supportive measures but did respond to steroids.

Abstract
Patients with hematological malignancies (HM) often receive tazobactam/piperacillin (TAZ/PIPC) and glycopeptide antibiotics for febrile neutropenia. The effect of concomitant use of TAZ/PIPC on risk of teicoplanin (TEIC)-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) remains unclear. We investigated the impact of concomitant TAZ/PIPC use on TEIC-associated AKI in HM patients and identified the risk factors. In this retrospective, single-center, observational cohort study, 203 patients received TEIC, 176 of whom satisfied the selection criteria and were divided into TEIC cohort (no TAZ/PIPC; n = 118) and TEIC + TAZ/PIPC cohort (n = 58). AKI was defined as serum creatinine increase ≥0.3 mg/dL within 48 h or ≥50% from baseline. Incidence of AKI in TEIC cohort before and after propensity score matching was 9.3 and 5.9%, respectively, and that in TEIC + TAZ/PIPC cohort was 10.3 and 11.8%. AKI incidence and risk were not significantly different between two cohorts before (p = 0.829; odds ratio (OR) 1.122, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.393-3.202) and after matching (p = 0.244; OR 2.133, 95% CI 0.503-9.043). Logistic regression analysis with factors clinically or mechanistically potentially related to TEIC-associated AKI, including concomitant TAZ/PIPC use, as independent variables identified baseline hemoglobin level as the only significant risk factor for TEIC-associated AKI (p = 0.011; OR 0.484, 95% CI 0.276-0.848). In HM patients treated with TEIC, concomitant TAZ/PIPC use did not increase AKI risk whereas lower hemoglobin levels had higher risk for TEIC-associated AKI development, suggesting the necessity to monitor serum creatinine when using TEIC in patients with anemia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Critical care nephrology is a subspecialty that merges critical care and nephrology in response to shared pathobiology, clinical care, and technological innovations. To date, there has been no description of the highest impact articles. Accordingly, we systematically identified high impact articles in critical care nephrology. METHODS This was a bibliometric analysis. The search was developed by a research librarian. Web of Science was searched for articles published between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2020. Articles required a minimum of 30 citations, publication in English language, and reporting of primary (or secondary) original data. Articles were screened by two reviewers for eligibility and further adjudicated by three experts. The "Top 100" articles were hierarchically ranked by adjudication, citations in the 2 years following publication and journal impact factor (IF). For each article, we extracted detailed bibliometric data. Risk of bias was assessed for randomized trials by the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. Analyses were descriptive. RESULTS The search yielded 2,805 articles. Following initial screening, 307 articles were selected for full review and adjudication. The Top 100 articles were published across 20 journals (median [IQR] IF 10.6 [8.9-56.3]), 38% were published in the 5 years ending in 2020 and 62% were open access. The agreement between adjudicators was excellent (intraclass correlation, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.84-0.99). Of the Top 100, 44% were randomized trials, 35% were observational, 14% were systematic reviews, 6% were nonrandomized interventional studies and one article was a consensus document. The risk of bias among randomized trials was low. Common subgroup themes were RRT (42%), AKI (30%), fluids/resuscitation (14%), pediatrics (10%), interventions (8%), and perioperative care (6%). The citations for the Top 100 articles were 175 (95-393) and 9 were cited >1,000 times. CONCLUSION Critical care nephrology has matured as an important subspecialty of critical care and nephrology. These high impact papers have focused largely on original studies, mostly clinical trials, within a few core themes. This list can be leveraged for curricula development, to stimulate research, and for quality assurance.

BACKGROUND Although current guidelines didn't support the routine use of furosemide in oliguric acute kidney injury (AKI) management, some patients may benefit from furosemide administration at an early stage. We aimed to develop an explainable machine learning (ML) model to differentiate between furosemide-responsive (FR) and furosemide-unresponsive (FU) oliguric AKI. METHODS From Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV (MIMIC-IV) and eICU Collaborative Research Database (eICU-CRD), oliguric AKI patients with urine output (UO) < 0.5 ml/kg/h for the first 6 h after ICU admission and furosemide infusion ≥ 40 mg in the following 6 h were retrospectively selected. The MIMIC-IV cohort was used in training a XGBoost model to predict UO > 0.65 ml/kg/h during 6-24 h succeeding the initial 6 h for assessing oliguria, and it was validated in the eICU-CRD cohort. We compared the predictive performance of the XGBoost model with the traditional logistic regression and other ML models. RESULTS 6897 patients were included in the MIMIC-IV training cohort, with 2235 patients in the eICU-CRD validation cohort. The XGBoost model showed an AUC of 0.97 (95% CI: 0.96-0.98) for differentiating FR and FU oliguric AKI. It outperformed the logistic regression and other ML models in correctly predicting furosemide diuretic response, achieved 92.43% sensitivity (95% CI: 90.88-93.73%) and 95.12% specificity (95% CI: 93.51-96.3%). CONCLUSION A boosted ensemble algorithm can be used to accurately differentiate between patients who would and would not respond to furosemide in oliguric AKI. By making the model explainable, clinicians would be able to better understand the reasoning behind the prediction outcome and make individualized treatment.

Abstract
Background Physicians usually consider that sodium bicarbonate (SB) infusion can be used for metabolic acidosis; however, there is little evidence available to assess its effect on hospital mortality in large AKI cohorts. Here, we investigated the effect of SB infusion in patients with AKI complicated by metabolic acidosis. Method Patients with AKI complicated by metabolic acidosis were screened from the MIMIC-IV database. A propensity score analysis (PSA) was used to decrease baseline differences in the probability of receiving SB. The marginal structural Cox model (MSCM) was employed to adjust for both baseline and time-varying confounding factors. Results A total of 1853 patients with AKI complicated with metabolic acidosis were included in our study. A total of 390 pairs of patients were divided into an SB infusion group and a non-SB infusion group. The SB infusion group had more serious and worse laboratory indicators, including lower pH [7.19 (0.11) vs. 7.26 (0.07)] and bicarbonate concentration (BC) [12.36 (4.26) vs. 15.96 (3.25) mmol/l]. While there was no significant effect on overall hospital mortality in AKI patients complicated with metabolic acidosis (p = 0.056), SB infusion was observed to have beneficial correlation on hospital mortality in patients with high AG acidosis (AG > 18 mmol/L) (p = 0.012). Similar results were replicated with the MSCM. Conclusion We found that SB infusion in AKI patients with metabolic acidosis is not beneficial for hospital mortality. However, SB infusion for AKI patients and high AG metabolic acidosis significantly improved hospital mortality. Further larger randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these results.

Abstract
In 2022, we celebrated the 15th anniversary of the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) Academy, a 2-day conference attended yearly by an international audience of over 100 nephrology, critical care, and multidisciplinary trainees and practitioners. This year, we introduce the proceedings of the UAB CRRT Academy, a yearly review of select emerging topics in the field of critical care nephrology that feature prominently in the conference. First, we review the rapidly evolving field of non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring and its potential to guide fluid removal by renal replacement therapy (RRT). We begin by summarizing the accumulating data associating fluid overload with harm in critical illness and the potential for harm from end-organ hypoperfusion caused by excessive fluid removal with RRT, underscoring the importance of accurate, dynamic assessment of volume status. We describe four applications of point-of-care ultrasound used to identify patients in need of urgent fluid removal or likely to tolerate fluid removal: lung ultrasound, inferior vena cava ultrasound, venous excess ultrasonography, and Doppler of the left ventricular outflow track to estimate stroke volume. We briefly introduce other minimally invasive hemodynamic monitoring technologies before concluding that additional prospective data are urgently needed to adapt these technologies to the specific task of fluid removal by RRT and to learn how best to integrate them into practical fluid-management strategies. Second, we focus on the growth of novel extracorporeal blood purification devices, starting with brief reviews of the inflammatory underpinnings of multiorgan dysfunction and the specific applications of pathogen, endotoxin, and/or cytokine removal and immunomodulation. Finally, we review a series of specific adsorptive technologies, several of which have seen substantial clinical use during the COVID-19 pandemic, describing their mechanisms of target removal, the limited existing data supporting their efficacy, ongoing and future studies, and the need for additional prospective trials.

Abstract
PURPOSE Furosemide, a frequently prescribed diuretic for managing congestive heart failure and edema, remains a topic of debate regarding its potential risk of inducing acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients. Consequently, this study aims to examine the occurrence of hospital-acquired AKI (HA-AKI) in hospitalized patients who are administered furosemide and to investigate potential risk factors associated with this outcome. METHODS This study encompassed a cohort of 22374 hospitalized patients who either received furosemide treatment or not from June 1, 2012, to December 31, 2017. Propensity score matching was employed to establish comparability between the two groups regarding covariates. Subsequently, a nomogram was constructed to predict the probability of AKI occurrence among patients who underwent furosemide treatment. RESULTS The regression analysis identified the single-day total dose of furosemide as the most significant factor for AKI, followed by ICU administration, estimated glomerular filtration rate, antibiotic, statin, NSAIDs, β-blockers, proton pump inhibitor, chronic kidney disease, and 7 other indicators. Subgroup analysis revealed a synergistic effect of furosemide with surgical operation, previous treatment with β-blockers, ACEI/ARB and antibiotics, leading to an increased risk of AKI when used in combination. Subsequently, a visually represented prognostic nomogram was developed to predict AKI occurrence in furosemide users. The predictive accuracy of the nomogram was assessed through calibration analyses, demonstrating an excellent agreement between the nomogram predictions and the actual likelihood of AKI, with a probability of 77.40%. CONCLUSIONS Careful consideration of factors such as dosage, concurrent medication use, and renal function of the patient is necessary for clinical practice when using furosemide. Our practical prognostic model for HA-AKI associated with furosemide use can be utilized to assist clinicians in making informed decisions about patient care and treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to understand numerical variation of fluid balance in neonates requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and to assess the relationship between hourly fluid balance and mortality. METHODS This is a prospective cohort study. All neonates supported by ECMO were enrolled from October 2011 to September 2017. All of the enrolled neonates were divided into survival group and non- survival group. The numerical value of fluid balance of the enrolled neonates were recorded at 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours and 48 hours after initiation of ECMO respectively. The differences between the two groups were compared. The numerical value of fluid balance predict survival by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. RESULTS Forty-eight neonates were enrolled, in which 35 cases were survival and the survival rate was 72.9%. The numerical value of fluid balance in the survival group were lower than that in the non-survival group at 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours and 48 hours after ECMO(all P<0.05). The area under ROC curve at 6h, 12h, 24h, 36h and 48h after initiation of ECMO was 0.835, 0.900, 0.839, 0.909 and 0.974 respectively. There were statistically significant in the numerical value of fluid balance predicting survival (all P<0.05) and a high sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value at the each time point. CONCLUSIONS The negative hourly fluid balance were associated with decreased mortality, and the lower the numerical value of fluid balance in neonates requiring ECMO, the higher the survival rate.

Abstract
Purpose Maintaining the proper fluid balance is a fundamental step in the management of hospitalized patients. The current study evaluated the impact of negative fluid balance on outcomes of patients with confirmed COVID-19. Methods We considered the negative fluid balance as a higher output fluid compared to the input fluid. The fluid balance was categorized into four groups (group 4: -850 to -500 ml/day; group 3: -499 to -200 ml/day, group 2: -199 to 0 ml/day, and group 1 : 1 to 1000 ml/day) and included ordinally in the model. The outcomes were all-cause mortality, length of hospitalization, and improvement in oxygen saturation. Results The fluid balance differed significantly among nonsurvivors and survivors (MD: -317.93, 95% CI: -410.21, -225.69, and p < 0.001). After adjusting for potential confounders, there was a significantly lower frequency of mortality in patients with negative fluid balance compared to the controls (aRR: 0.69, 95% CI: 0.57, 0.84, and p < 0.001). Similarly, the length of hospitalization was significantly shorter in the negative fluid balance group in comparison to the control group (aMD: -1.01, 95% CI: -1.74, -0.28, and p=0.006). Conclusion We determined that the negative fluid balance was associated with favorable outcomes in COVID-19 patients. The negative fluid balance was associated with the reduced mortality rate and length of hospitalization as well as improvement in oxygen saturation. Moreover, the NT-proBNP >781 pg/mL and fluid balance >-430 mL might be the predictors for positive fluid balance and mortality, respectively.

Abstract
While the administration of intravenous fluids remains an important treatment, the negative consequences of subsequent fluid overload have raised questions about when and how clinicians should pursue avenues of fluid removal. Decisions regarding fluid removal during critical illness are complex even for patients with preserved kidney function. This article seeks to apply general concepts of fluid management to the care of patients who also require KRT. Because optimal fluid management for any specific patient is likely to change over the course of critical illness, conceptual models using phases of care have been developed. In this review, we will examine the implications of one such model on the use of ultrafiltration during KRT for volume removal in distributive shock. This will also provide a useful lens to re-examine published data of KRT during critical illness. We will highlight recent prospective trials of KRT as well as recent retrospective studies examining ultrafiltration rate and mortality, review the results, and discuss applications and shortcomings of these studies. We also emphasize that current data and techniques suggest that optimal guidelines will not consist of recommendations for or against absolute fluid removal rates but will instead require the development of dynamic protocols involving frequent cycles of reassessment and adjustment of net fluid removal goals. If optimal fluid management is dynamic, then frequent assessment of fluid responsiveness, fluid toxicity, and tolerance of fluid removal will be needed. Innovations in our ability to assess these parameters may improve our management of ultrafiltration in the future.

Abstract
We compared two de-escalation strategies guided by either extravascular lung water or global end-diastolic volume-oriented algorithms in patients with sepsis and ARDS. Sixty patients with sepsis and ARDS were randomized to receive de-escalation fluid therapy, guided either by the extravascular lung water index (EVLWI, n = 30) or the global end-diastolic volume index (GEDVI, n = 30). In cases of GEDVI > 650 mL/m2 or EVLWI > 10 mL/kg, diuretics and/or controlled ultrafiltration were administered to achieve the cumulative 48-h fluid balance in the range of 0 to -3000 mL. During 48 h of goal-directed de-escalation therapy, we observed a decrease in the SOFA score (p < 0.05). Extravascular lung water decreased only in the EVLWI-oriented group (p < 0.001). In parallel, PaO2/FiO2 increased by 30% in the EVLWI group and by 15% in the GEDVI group (p < 0.05). The patients with direct ARDS demonstrated better responses to dehydration therapy concerning arterial oxygenation and lung fluid balance. In sepsis-induced ARDS, both fluid management strategies, based either on GEDVI or EVLWI, improved arterial oxygenation and attenuated organ dysfunction. The de-escalation therapy was more efficient for direct ARDS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients who recover from acute kidney injury (AKI) have a 25% increase in the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and a 50% increase in mortality after a follow-up of approximately 10 years. Circulating FGF-23 increases significantly early in the development of AKI, is significantly elevated in patients with CKD and has become a major biomarker of poor clinical prognosis in CKD. However, the potential link between fibroblast growth factor-23 levels and the progression of AKI to CKD remains unclear. METHOD Serum FGF-23 levels in AKI patients and ischaemia‒reperfusion injury (IRI) mice were detected with ELISA. Cultured HK2 cells were incubated with FGF-23 and PD173074, a blocker of FGFR, and then TGFβ/Smad and Wnt/β-catenin were examined with immunofluorescence and immunoblotting. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the expression of COL1A1 and COL4A1. Histologic staining confirmed renal fibrosis. RESULTS The level of serum FGF-23 was significantly different between AKI patients and healthy controls (P < 0.01). Moreover, serum FGF-23 levels in the CKD progression group were significantly higher than those in the non-CKD progression group of AKI patients (P < 0.01). In the AKI-CKD mouse model, serum FGF-23 levels were increased, and renal fibrosis occurred; moreover, the protein expression of β-catenin and p-Smad3 was upregulated. PD173074 downregulated the expression of β-catenin and p-Smad3 and reduced fibrosis in both mice and HK2 cells. CONCLUSION The increase in FGF-23 may be associated with the progression of AKI to CKD and may mediate renal fibrosis via TGF-β and Wnt/β-catenin activation.

Fluid balance control in critically ill patients: results from POINCARE-2 stepped wedge cluster-randomized trial. Crit Care 2023; 27:66. [PMID: 36810101 PMCID: PMC9945675 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-023-04357-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Accepted: 02/12/2023] [Indexed: 02/24/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In critically ill patients, positive fluid balance is associated with excessive mortality. The POINCARE-2 trial aimed to assess the effectiveness of a fluid balance control strategy on mortality in critically ill patients. METHODS POINCARE-2 was a stepped wedge cluster open-label randomized controlled trial. We recruited critically ill patients in twelve volunteering intensive care units from nine French hospitals. Eligible patients were ≥ 18 years old, under mechanical ventilation, admitted to one of the 12 recruiting units for > 48 and ≤ 72 h, and had an expected length of stay after inclusion > 24 h. Recruitment started on May 2016 and ended on May 2019. Of 10,272 patients screened, 1361 met the inclusion criteria and 1353 completed follow-up. The POINCARE-2 strategy consisted of a daily weight-driven restriction of fluid intake, diuretics administration, and ultrafiltration in case of renal replacement therapy between Day 2 and Day 14 after admission. The primary outcome was 60-day all-cause mortality. We considered intention-to-treat analyses in cluster-randomized analyses (CRA) and in randomized before-and-after analyses (RBAA). RESULTS A total of 433 (643) patients in the strategy group and 472 (718) in the control group were included in the CRA (RBAA). In the CRA, mean (SD) age was 63.7 (14.1) versus 65.7 (14.3) years, and mean (SD) weight at admission was 78.5 (20.0) versus 79.4 (23.5) kg. A total of 129 (160) patients died in the strategy (control) group. Sixty-day mortality did not differ between groups [30.5%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 26.2-34.8 vs. 33.9%, 95% CI 29.6-38.2, p = 0.26]. Among safety outcomes, only hypernatremia was more frequent in the strategy group (5.3% vs. 2.3%, p = 0.01). The RBAA led to similar results. CONCLUSION The POINCARE-2 conservative strategy did not reduce mortality in critically ill patients. However, due to open-label and stepped wedge design, intention-to-treat analyses might not reflect actual exposure to this strategy, and further analyses might be required before completely discarding it. Trial registration POINCARE-2 trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02765009). Registered 29 April 2016.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common complications after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Renal transplant recipients (RTRs) have a higher risk of cardiac surgery-associated AKI (CSA-AKI). A relationship has been strongly suggested between AKI and poor long-term graft survival. The main objective was to evaluate the impact of on-pump cardiac surgery on the 1-year renal allograft survival rate. METHODS The study population consisted of 37 RTRs and 56 non-RTRs who underwent cardiac surgery between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2019. They were matched according to age, sex, preoperative glomerular function, diabetes and type of surgery. The primary composite outcome was renal survival, defined as patient survival without the requirement for permanent dialysis or new kidney transplantation at 1 year after surgery. RESULTS The renal survival rate was significantly lower in the RTR group than in the non-RTR group [81% versus 96%; odds ratio 0.16 (95% confidence interval 0.03-0.82), P = .03]. The proportion of patients who returned to permanent dialysis was higher in the RTR group than in the non-RTR group (12% versus 0%; P = .02). The proportion of patients with severe AKI was also higher in the RTR group. At 1 year after surgery, serum creatinine level, glomerular filtration rate and all-cause mortality rates were comparable between both groups. CONCLUSION Patients with a functional renal allograft have a low 1-year renal allograft survival rate after cardiac surgery with CPB. In addition, these patients have significant risks of AKI and acute kidney disease after open-heart surgery.

Abstract
Background: Surgical interventions can cause severe fluid imbalances in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, affecting length of hospital stay and survival. Therefore, appropriate management of daily fluid goals is a key element of postoperative intensive care in these patients. Because fluid balance is influenced by a complex interplay of patient-, surgery- and intensive care unit (ICU)-specific factors, fluid prediction is difficult and often inaccurate. Methods: A novel system theory based digital model for cumulative fluid balance (CFB) prediction is presented using recorded patient fluid data as the sole parameter source by applying the concept of a transfer function. Using a retrospective dataset of n = 618 cardiac intensive care patients, patient-individual models were created and evaluated. RMSE analyses and error calculations were performed for reasonable combinations of model estimation periods and clinically relevant prediction horizons for CFB. Results: Our models have shown that a clinically relevant time horizon for CFB prediction with the combination of 48 h estimation time and 8-16 h prediction time achieves high accuracy. With an 8-h prediction time, nearly 50% of CFB predictions are within ±0.5 L, and 77% are still within the clinically acceptable range of ±1.0 L. Conclusion: Our study has provided a promising proof of principle and may form the basis for further efforts in the development of computational models for fluid prediction that do not require large datasets for training and validation, as is the case with machine learning or AI-based models. The adaptive transfer function approach allows estimation of CFB course on a dynamically changing patient fluid balance system by simulating the response to the current fluid management regime, providing a useful digital tool for clinicians in daily intensive care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In thoracic aortic surgery, fluid replacement and blood transfusion during extracorporeal circulation (ECC) are associated with increased coagulopathy, elevated inflammatory response, and end-organ dysfunction. The optimal strategy has not been established in this regard. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the fluid balance during ECC in thoracic aortic dissection surgery on outcome. METHODS Between 2009 and 2020, 358 patients suffering from acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) underwent aortic surgery at our heart center. In-hospital mortality, major complications (postoperative stroke, respiratory failure, heart failure, acute renal failure), and follow-up mortality were assessed. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify whether fluid balance and blood transfusion during ECC were risk factors for occurring adverse events. RESULTS The in-hospital mortality amounted to 20.4%. Major complications included temporary neurologic deficit in 13.4%, permanent neurologic deficit in 6.1%, acute renal failure in 32.7%, prolonged ventilation for respiratory failure in 17.9%, and acute heart failure in 10.9% of cases. At a mean of 42 months after discharge of 285 survivors, follow-up mortality was 13.3%. Multivariate analysis revealed major complications as well as the risk of in-hospital and follow-up mortality to increase with fluid balance and blood transfusion during ECC. CONCLUSIONS Fluid balance and blood transfusion during ECC present with predictive potential concerning the risk of postoperative adverse events.

Abstract
Background Fluid overload is a risk factor for mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Administration of loop diuretics is the predominant treatment of fluid overload, but evidence for its benefit is very uncertain when assessed in a systematic review of randomised clinical trials. The GODIF trial will assess the benefits and harms of goal directed fluid removal with furosemide versus placebo in ICU patients with fluid overload. Methods An investigator‐initiated, international, randomised, stratified, blinded, parallel‐group trial allocating 1000 adult ICU patients with fluid overload to infusion of furosemide versus placebo. The goal is to achieve a neutral fluid balance. The primary outcome is days alive and out of hospital 90 days after randomisation. Secondary outcomes are all‐cause mortality at day 90 and 1‐year after randomisation; days alive at day 90 without life support; number of participants with one or more serious adverse events or reactions; health‐related quality of life and cognitive function at 1‐year follow‐up. A sample size of 1000 participants is required to detect an improvement of 8% in days alive and out of hospital 90 days after randomisation with a power of 90% and a risk of type 1 error of 5%. The conclusion of the trial will be based on the point estimate and 95% confidence interval; dichotomisation will not be used. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04180397. Perspective The GODIF trial will provide important evidence of possible benefits and harms of fluid removal with furosemide in adult ICU patients with fluid overload.

Abstract
Diuretics are commonly used in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload in intensive care units (ICU), furosemide being the diuretic of choice in more than 90% of the cases. Current evidence shows that other diuretics with distinct mechanisms of action could be used with good results in patients with selected profiles. From acetazolamide to tolvaptan, we will discuss recent studies and highlight how specific diuretic mechanisms could help to manage different ICU problems, such as loop diuretic resistance, hypernatremia, hyponatremia, or metabolic alkalosis. The current review tries to shed some light on the potential use of non-loop diuretics based on patient profile and give recommendations for loop diuretic treatment performance focused on what the intensivist and critical care nephrologist need to know based on the current evidence.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) is a common, yet poorly investigated, complication of urinary tract infections (UTI) and urosepsis. A retrospective comparative analysis was performed, recruiting 101 KTRs with urosepsis, 100 KTRs with UTI, and 100 KTRs without history of UTI or sepsis. The incidences of AKI in the urosepsis and UTI groups were 75.2% and 41%, respectively. The urosepsis group has also presented with a significantly higher prevalence of AKI stage 2 and 3 than the UTI group. The rates of recovery from AKI stages 1, 2 and 3, were 75,6%, 55% and 26.1%, respectively. Factors independently associated with renal recovery from AKI were: AKI severity grade (AKI stage 2 with OR = 0.25 and AKI stage 3 with OR = 0.1), transfusion of red blood cells (RBC) (OR = 0.22), and the use of steroid bolus in the acute phase of treatment (OR = 4). The septic status (urosepsis vs UTI) did not influence the rates of renal recovery from AKI after adjustment for the remaining variables. The dominant cause of RBC transfusions in the whole population was upper GI-bleeding. In multivariable analyses, the occurrence of AKI was also independently associated with a greater decline of eGFR at 1-year post-discharge and with a greater risk of graft loss. In KTRs with both urosepsis and UTI, the occurrence of AKI portends poor transplantation outcomes. The local transfusion policy, modulation of immunosuppression and stress ulcer prophylaxis (which is not routinely administered in KTRs) in the acute setting may be modifiable factors that significantly impact long-term transplantation outcomes.

Abstract
Background: The association between loop diuretics and acute kidney injury (AKI) remains unclear. Methods: The population studied was selected from the Epidemiology of AKI in Chinese Hospitalized patients (EACH) study. Exposure to loop diuretics was defined as any filled prescription prior to the date when AKI was detected in patients with HA-AKI, and prior to the last date of SCr testing in those without AKI. The outcome was AKI, defined by the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes criteria. Associations between loop diuretics and HA-AKI were examined by Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for baseline and time-dependent covariates. Results: Of the 150,020 patients, 16,437 (11.0%) were prescribed loop diuretics, and 5717 (3.8%) experienced HA-AKI events. The crude rates of HA-AKI in patients who were and were not prescribed loop diuretics were 1632 (9.9%) and 3262 (2.8%), respectively. A multivariate cox proportional hazards analysis showed that exposure to loop diuretics was associated with significantly increased risks of HA-AKI compared with non-users (hazard ratio (HR), 1.61; 95% CI (confidence interval), 1.55–1.67), other diuretics (HR, 1.09; 95% CI, 1.03–1.15), and osmotic diuretics (HR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.20–1.42). Compared with other diuretics, the use of loop diuretics was associated with higher risks of HA-AKI in women, in patients without hypertension, in patients without heart failure, in patients without liver cirrhosis, and in patients not requiring surgery. Conclusions: Loop diuretics are widely used and are associated with increased risks of HA-AKI in hospitalized adults. Renal function should be more closely monitored during the use of loop diuretics.

Loop diuretics in adult intensive care patients with fluid overload: a systematic review of randomised clinical trials with meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis. Ann Intensive Care 2022; 12:52. [PMID: 35696008 PMCID: PMC9192894 DOI: 10.1186/s13613-022-01024-6] [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: 02/25/2022] [Accepted: 05/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluid overload is a risk factor for organ dysfunction and death in intensive care unit (ICU) patients, but no guidelines exist for its management. We systematically reviewed benefits and harms of a single loop diuretic, the predominant treatment used for fluid overload in these patients. METHODS We conducted a systematic review with meta-analysis and Trial Sequential Analysis (TSA) of a single loop diuretic vs. other interventions reported in randomised clinical trials, adhering to our published protocol, the Cochrane Handbook, and PRISMA statement. We assessed the risks of bias with the ROB2-tool and certainty of evidence with GRADE. This study was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) (CRD42020184799). RESULTS We included 10 trials (804 participants), all at overall high risk of bias. For loop diuretics vs. placebo/no intervention, we found no difference in all-cause mortality (relative risk (RR) 0.72, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.49-1.06; 4 trials; 359 participants; I2 = 0%; TSA-adjusted CI 0.15-3.48; very low certainty of evidence). Fewer serious adverse events were registered in the group treated with loop diuretics (RR 0.81, 95% CI 0.66-0.99; 6 trials; 476 participants; I2 = 0%; very low certainty of evidence), though contested by TSA (TSA-adjusted CI 0.55-1.20). CONCLUSIONS The evidence is very uncertain about the effect of loop diuretics on mortality and serious adverse events in adult ICU patients with fluid overload. Loop diuretics may reduce the occurrence of these outcomes, but large randomised placebo-controlled trials at low risk of bias are needed.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate whether goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) reduces the risk of renal injury in critical illness. Methods MEDLINE via PubMed, EMBASE, CENTRAL and CBM was searched from inception to 13 March 2022, for studies comparing the effect of GDFT with usual care on renal function in critically ill patients. GDFT was defined as a protocolized intervention based on hemodynamic and/or oxygen delivery parameters. A fixed or random effects model was applied to calculate the pooled odds ratio (OR) based on heterogeneity through the included studies. Results A total of 28 studies with 9,019 patients were included. The pooled data showed that compared with usual care, GDFT reduced the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in critical illness (OR 0.62, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.47 to 0.80, p< 0.001). Sensitivity analysis with only low risk of bias studies showed the same result. Subgroup analyses found that GDFT was associated with a lower AKI incidence in both postoperative and medical patients. The reduction was significant in GDFT aimed at dynamic indicators. However, no significant difference was found between groups in RRT support (OR 0.88, 95% CI 0.74 to 1.05, p= 0.17). GDFT tended to increase fluid administration within the first 6 h, decrease fluid administration after 24 h, and was associated with more vasopressor requirements. Conclusions This meta-analysis suggests that GDFT aimed at dynamic indicators may be an effective way to prevent AKI in critical illness. This may indicate a benefit from early adequate fluid resuscitation and the combined effect of vasopressors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with respiratory failure, loop diuretics remain the cornerstone of the treatment to maintain fluid balance, but resistance is common.
AIM To determine the efficacy and safety of common diuretic combinations in critically ill patients with respiratory failure.
METHODS We searched MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library and PROSPERO for studies reporting the effects of a combination of a loop diuretic with another class of diuretic. A meta-analysis using mean differences (MD) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was performed for the 24-h fluid balance (primary outcome) and the 24-h urine output, while descriptive statistics were used for safety events.
RESULTS Nine studies totalling 440 patients from a total of 6510 citations were included. When compared to loop diuretics alone, the addition of a second diuretic is associated with an improved negative fluid balance at 24 h [MD: -1.06 L (95%CI: -1.46; -0.65)], driven by the combination of a thiazide plus furosemide [MD: -1.25 L (95%CI: -1.68; -0.82)], while no difference was observed with the combination of a loop-diuretic plus acetazolamide [MD: -0.40 L (95%CI: -0.96; 0.16)] or spironolactone [MD: -0.65 L (95%CI: -1.66; 0.36)]. Heterogeneity was high and the report of clinical and safety endpoints varied across studies.
CONCLUSION Based on limited evidence, the addition of a second diuretic to a loop diuretic may promote diuresis and negative fluid balance in patients with respiratory failure, but only when using a thiazide. Further larger trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of such interventions in patients with respiratory failure are required.

Abstract
Hypertensive crises, although somewhat rare in hypertensive patients, might become an increasingly relevant issue in the future as the number of adults living with hypertension in the United States increases. Many of the current U.S. clinical guidelines for the treatment and management of a variety of medical conditions do not factor hypertensive crises into their recommendations or only consider them in a limited fashion in the context of other medical conditions. This review article summarizes the definitions of hypertensive crises/urgent hypertension/emergent hypertension, the epidemiological profile and outcomes of patients, current U.S. clinical guidelines' recommendations for the general treatment of hypertensive crises, and current U.S. clinical guidelines' recommendations for the treatment of acute kidney injuries, acute ischemic stroke, aortic dissection, and acute heart failure in relation to hypertensive crises. All physicians who manage hypertensive patients, but particularly physicians who work in intensive care units, emergency departments and in U.S. hospitals, should review hypertensive crises guidelines and relevant treatments, and understand current recommendations.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI) are public health problems, and their prevalence rates have increased with the aging of the population. They are associated with the presence of comorbidities, in particular diabetes mellitus and hypertension, resulting in a high financial burden for the health system. Studies have indicated Klotho as a promising therapeutic approach for these conditions. Klotho reduces inflammation, oxidative stress and fibrosis and counter-regulates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. In CKD and AKI, Klotho expression is downregulated from early stages and correlates with disease progression. Therefore, the restoration of its levels, through exogenous or endogenous pathways, has renoprotective effects. An important strategy for administering Klotho is through mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In summary, this review comprises in vitro and in vivo studies on the therapeutic potential of Klotho for the treatment of CKD and AKI through the administration of MSCs.

Abstract
Background Organ crosstalk between the kidney and the heart has been suggested. Acute kidney injury (AKI) and acute heart failure (AHF) are well-known independent risk factors for mortality in hospitalized patients. This study aimed to investigate if these conditions have an additive effect on mortality in hospitalized patients, as this has not been explored in previous studies. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the records of 101,804 hospitalized patients who visited two tertiary hospitals in the Republic of Korea over a period of 5 years. AKI was diagnosed using serum creatinine-based criteria, and AHF was classified using International Classification of Diseases codes within 2 weeks after admission. Patients were divided into four groups according to the two conditions. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. Results AKI occurred in 6.8% of all patients (n = 6,920) and AHF in 1.2% (n = 1,244). Three hundred thirty-one patients (0.3%) developed both conditions while AKI alone was present in 6,589 patients (6.5%) and AHF alone in 913 patients (0.9%). Among the 5,181 patients (5.1%) who died, 20.8% died within 1 month. The hazard ratio for 1-month mortality was 29.23 in patients with both conditions, 15.00 for AKI only, and 3.39 for AHF only. The relative excess risk of interaction was 11.85 (95% confidence interval, 2.43‒21.27), and was more prominent in patients aged <75 years and those without chronic heart failure. Conclusion AKI and AHF have a detrimental additive effect on short-term mortality in hospitalized patients.

Nomenclature and diagnostic criteria for acute kidney injury - 2020 consensus of the Taiwan AKI-task force. J Formos Med Assoc 2021; 121:749-765.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common syndrome that has a significant impact on prognosis in various clinical settings. To evaluate whether new evidence supports changing the current definition/classification/staging systems for AKI suggested by the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) 2012 Clinical Practice Guideline, the Taiwan AKI-TASK Force, composed of 64 experts in various disciplines, systematically reviewed the literature and proposed recommendations about the current nomenclature and diagnostic criteria for AKI. The Taiwan Acute Kidney Injury (TW-AKI) Consensus 2020 was established following the principles of evidence-based medicine to investigate topics covered in AKI guidelines. The Taiwan AKI-TASK Force determined that patients with AKI have a higher risk of developing chronic kidney disease, end-stage renal disease, and death. After a comprehensive review, the TASK Force recommended using novel biomarkers, imaging examinations, renal biopsy, and body fluid assessment in the diagnosis of AKI. Clinical issues with regards to the definitions of baseline serum creatinine (sCr) level and renal recovery, as well as the use of biomarkers to predict renal recovery are also discussed in this consensus. Although the present classification systems using sCr and urine output for the diagnosis of AKI are not perfect, there is not enough evidence to change the current criteria in clinical practice. Future research should investigate and clarify the roles of the aforementioned tools in clinical practice for AKI.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a syndrome of impaired kidney function associated with reduced survival and increased morbidity. International consensus criteria were developed based on changes in serum creatinine and urine output. Based on these definitions, epidemiologic studies have shown strong associations with clinical outcomes including death and dialysis. However, numerous limitations exist for creatinine and urine volume as markers of AKI and novel biomarkers have been developed to detect cellular stress or damage. Persistent AKI and acute kidney disease are relatively new concepts that explore the idea of AKI as a continuum with chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Fluid overload is associated with a poor prognosis in the critically ill patients, especially at the time of weaning from mechanical ventilation as it may promote weaning failure from cardiac origin. Some data suggest that early administration of diuretics would shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation. However, this strategy may expose patients to a higher risk of haemodynamic and metabolic complications. Currently, there is no recommendation for the use of diuretics during weaning and there is an equipoise on the timing of their initiation in this context. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This study is a multicentre randomised controlled trial comparing two strategies of fluid removal during weaning in 13 French intensive care units (ICU). The preventive strategy is initiated systematically when the fluid balance or weight change is positive and the patients have criteria for clinical stability; the curative strategy is initiated only in case of weaning failure documented as of cardiac origin. Four hundred and ten patients will be randomised with a 1:1 ratio. The primary outcome is the duration of weaning from mechanical ventilation, defined as the number of days between randomisation and successful extubation (alive without reintubation nor tracheostomy within the 7 days after extubation) at day 28. Secondary outcomes include daily and cumulated fluid balance, metabolic and haemodynamic complications, ventilator-associated pneumonia, weaning complications, number of ventilator-free days, total duration of mechanical ventilation, the length of stay in ICU and mortality in ICU, in hospital and, at day 28. A subgroup analysis for the primary outcome is planned in patients with kidney injury (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes class 2 or more) at the time of randomisation. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study has been approved by the ethics committee (Comité de Protection des Personnes Paris 1) and patients will be included after informed consent. The results will be submitted for publication in peer-reviewed journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT04050007. PROTOCOL VERSION V.1; 12 March 2019.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The current practice of fluid intake and output monitoring for hospitalised patients in one local acute care tertiary hospital was unclear and inconsistent. Inaccurate fluid balance monitoring and poor documentation can result in poor clinical outcomes. AIM To provide an overview of the current practice of ordering, monitoring and documentation of patient fluid intake and output during hospitalisation. METHODS Electronic charts of 2199 adults were reviewed for appropriateness and accuracy of monitoring and documentation of the fluid balance records. Data retrieved for each patient included: (1) Was daily fluid balance monitoring clinically indicated? (2) Was daily fluid balance monitoring prescribed by the doctors or initiated by the nurses? (3) Was the daily fluid balance documentation accurate for the entire admission? FINDINGS Of the reviewed patients, 68% were on fluid balance monitoring, of whom 31% were prescribed by medical teams and 69% were nurse-initiated. Among patients who were receiving fluid balance monitoring, 78% were clinically indicated (35% prescribed by doctors), and 22% had no clinical indications (18% prescribed by doctors). Overall, documentation accuracy of the intake and output charts was 77%, with 100% accuracy in the oral and intravenous fluid intake, and 21% accuracy in the output documentation. Among the inaccurate documentation of monitoring with no quantifiable amount, 'void in toilet' was the most inaccurately documented (93.3%). CONCLUSIONS It is vital to address the current disparities in hospital practice, which include prescribing fluid balance monitoring for patients without a clinical indication and documenting incomplete or poor quality information in patients' intake and output charts. Future quality improvement and research work is needed to improve patient safety and outcomes.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has devastated individuals, families, and institutions throughout the world. Despite the breakneck speed of vaccine development, the human population remains at risk of further devastation. The decision to not become vaccinated, the protracted rollout of available vaccine, vaccine failure, mutational forms of the SARS virus, which may exhibit mounting resistance to our molecular strike at only one form of the viral family, and the rapid ability of the virus(es) to hitch a ride on our global transportation systems, means that we are will likely continue to confront an invisible, yet devastating foe. The enemy targets one of our human physiology's most important and vulnerable life-preserving body tissues, our broncho-alveolar gas exchange apparatus. Notwithstanding the fear and the fury of this microbe's potential to raise existential questions across the entire spectrum of human endeavor, the application of an early treatment intervention initiative may represent a crucial tool in our defensive strategy. This strategy is driven by evidence-based medical practice principles, those not likely to become antiquated, given the molecular diversity and mutational evolution of this very clever "world traveler".

Abstract
We aimed to evaluate the functions of long non-coding RNA taurine upregulated gene 1 (lncRNA TUG1) in renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and identify the potential mechanisms. Pathological changes of renal tissues were examined using H&E staining after mimic renal I/R injury in vivo. The contents of serum renal functional parameters and inflammatory factors were measured. The expression of TUG1 and miR-449b-5p in renal tissues and HK-2 cells stimulated by I/R were detected. Then, the effects of TUG1 silencing on inflammation and apoptosis of cells were evaluated. Dual luciferase reporter assays were executed for determining the correlation between miR-449b-5p and TUG1, high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), or matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2). Subsequently, cells were co-transfected with miR-449b-5p mimic and pcDNA3.1 TUG1. The levels of inflammation, apoptosis, and the expression of HMGB1 and MMP2 were detected. The results revealed that renal tissues were obviously damaged after I/R accompanied by changes in renal functional markers and inflammatory factors. TUG1 was highly expressed whereas miR-449b-5p was lowly expressed. TUG1 silencing reduced the inflammation and apoptosis. Dual luciferase reporter assays confirmed that miR-449b-5p was a target of TUG1 as well as HMGB1 and MMP2 were direct targets of miR-449b-5p. Meanwhile, miR-449b-5p mimic presented the same results with TUG1 silencing, which were reversed after TUG1 overexpression. Moreover, MMP2 and HMGB1 expression was decreased after miR-449b-5p overexpression while that of was increased after TUG1 overexpression. These findings demonstrated that TUG1 silencing attenuates I/R-induced inflammation and apoptosis via targeting miR-449b-5p and regulating HMGB1 and MMP2 expression.

Abstract
BACKGORUND Previous studies conducted on critical patients in intensive care units have shown that fluid balance disorder (FBD) increases mortality. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of FBD on mortality of patients hospitalized in internal medicine ward. METHODS The present study was designed as an observational study and follow-up period of the patients began in the first 8 hours of admission to the emergency room who had hypervolemia findings in physical examination were included in the fluid balance FB (+) group; those who had any of the dehydration findings were included in FB (-) group, those who had both hypervolemia and dehydration findings were included in FB (mix) group, and those with normal examination findings were included in FB (N) group. RESULTS A total of 303 patients, mean age of 66.4 ± 15.9 years, 54.5% male, were included in the study, which covered the period between May 1, 2019 and September 30, 2019. In-hospital, monthly and quarterly cumulative survival rates of the patients were respectively; 91.7 ± 2.7%, 89.2 ± 2.8%, 81.7 ± 3.5% in FB (N) group; 86.3 ± 5.2%, 82.2 ± 5.7%, and 57.8 ± 7.4% in FB (-) group; 70.9 ± 4.4%, 68.1 ±4.4%, and 54.9 ± 4.7% in FB (+) group; 57.6 ± 10.2%, 56.0 ± 9.9%, 44.0 ± 9.9% in FB (mix) group. It was determined that there was an approximately 3-fold increase in both monthly and quarterly mortality risks in those who had FBD compared to those who were not (HR: 3.077 and 3.031, respectively). It was shown with the multivariate Cox regression analyses that this risk increases independently from both preliminary diagnosis, concomitant diseases, vital disorders (30-day and 90-day AHR 2.541 and 2.517, respectively), and from the biochemical disorders (30-day and 90-day AHR 2.132 and 2.124, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Our study is important in terms of emphasizing the value of physical examination which lost its popularity with the development of technology and many medical instruments, but still simple and cheap.

Abstract
Purpose We compared a restrictive fluid management strategy to usual care among critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) who had received initial fluid resuscitation. Methods This multicenter feasibility trial randomized 100 AKI patients 1:1 in seven ICUs in Europe and Australia. Restrictive fluid management included targeting negative or neutral daily fluid balance by minimizing fluid input and/or enhancing urine output with diuretics administered at the discretion of the clinician. Fluid boluses were administered as clinically indicated. The primary endpoint was cumulative fluid balance 72 h from randomization. Results Mean (SD) cumulative fluid balance at 72 h from randomization was − 1080 mL (2003 mL) in the restrictive fluid management arm and 61 mL (3131 mL) in the usual care arm, mean difference (95% CI) − 1148 mL (− 2200 to − 96) mL, P = 0.033. Median [IQR] duration of AKI was 2 [1–3] and 3 [2–7] days, respectively (median difference − 1.0 [− 3.0 to 0.0], P = 0.071). Altogether, 6 out of 46 (13%) patients in the restrictive fluid management arm and 15 out of 50 (30%) in the usual care arm received renal replacement therapy (RR 0.42; 95% CI 0.16–0.91), P = 0.043. Cumulative fluid balance at 24 h and 7 days was lower in the restrictive fluid management arm. The dose of diuretics was not different between the groups. Adverse events occurred more frequently in the usual care arm. Conclusions In critically ill patients with AKI, a restrictive fluid management regimen resulted in lower cumulative fluid balance and less adverse events compared to usual care. Larger trials of this intervention are justified. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s00134-021-06401-6.

Abstract
The use of kidney support therapy (KST) for use in managing patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) has expanded greatly in the last several decades. The growing use of KST modalities in children, and now in neonates, has been associated with opportunities for education, clinical research, clinical practice improvements, and outcomes research. A multitude of controversies exist in the field of pediatric KST-many of which are shared by adult critical care nephrology practice. Simultaneously, pediatric KST has led the way to a burgeoning exploration of the importance of fluid overload as it relates to KST initiation and management and also with quality improvement. In this review, we will explore and describe the paradigms contained with pediatric KST used to support children with AKI. In addition to the governing principles related to the mechanics of KST, we will describe the novel aspects of newer support machines and ethical considerations of KST provision. Anticoagulation, dose, and modality will be discussed as well as priming procedures for special considerations. The utilization of KST across pediatric populations represents the next frontier of critical care nephrology.

Abstract
Intravenous fluid therapy has long been the mainstay of treatment of kidney disease, including acute kidney injury and uremic crisis associated with chronic kidney disease. Careful management of fluid dose is critical, as animals with kidney disease may have marked derangements in their ability to regulate fluid homeostasis and acid-base status. Understanding of the physiology of renal fluid handling is necessary, along with repeated attention to parameters of fluid status, electrolytes, and acid-base balance, to achieve optimal hydration status and avoid further damage or decrease in function from dehydration or overhydration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the most frequent complication in critically ill neonatal and pediatric patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. This study analyzed risk factors for in-hospital mortality and the incidence of AKI in neonatal and pediatric patients received ECMO support. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of 105 neonatal and 171 pediatric patients who received ECMO support at the intensive care unit (ICU) of a tertiary care university hospital between January 2008 and December 2015. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were retrospectively collected as survival and AKI predictors, utilizing the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcome (KDIGO) consensus definition for AKI. RESULTS In the 105 neonatal and 171 pediatric patients, the overall in-hospital mortality rate were 58% and 55% respectively. The incidence of AKI at post-ECMO 24 h were 64.8% and 61.4%. A greater KDIGO24-h severity was associated with a higher in-hospital mortality rate (chi-square test; p < 0.01) and decreased survival rate (log-rank tests, p < 0.01). In univariate logistic regression analysis of in-hospital mortality, the CVP level at post ECOMO 24-h increased odds ratio (OR) (OR = 1.27 [1.10-1.46], p = 0.001) of in-hospital mortality in neonatal group; as for pediatric group, elevated lactate (OR = 1.12 [1.03-1.20], p = 0.005) and PT (OR = 1.86 [1.17-2.96], p = 0.009) increased OR of in-hospital mortality. And the KDIGO24h stage 3 had the strongest association with in-hospital mortality in both neonatal (p = 0.005) and pediatric (p = 0.001) groups. In multivariate OR of neonatal and pediatric groups were 4.38 [1.46-13.16] (p = 0.009) and 3.76 [1.70-8.33] (p = 0.001), respectively. CONCLUSIONS AKI was a significant risk factor for in-hospital mortality in the neonatal and pediatric patients who received ECMO support. A greater KDIGO24-h severity was associated with higher mortality rates and decreased survival rate in both neonatal and pediatric groups. Of note, KDIGO24h can be an easy and early tool for the prognosis of AKI in the neonatal and pediatric patients.

Abstract
In critically ill patients, particularly in the setting of shock and sepsis volume management frequently results in a fluid overloaded state, requiring diuresis or intervention with renal replacement therapy. Achieving appropriate volume management requires knowledge of the underlying cardiovascular pathophysiology and careful evaluation of intravascular and extravascular volume status. In the presence of a failing kidney, fluid removal is often a challenge. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) techniques offer a significant advantage over intermittent dialysis for fluid control, however, any form of RRT in the critically ill patient requires careful attention to prescription and monitoring to avoid complications. In order to utilize these therapies for their maximum potential it is necessary to understand which factors influence fluid balance and have an understanding of the principles and kinetics of fluid removal with extra-corporeal techniques.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Over the past 5 years, four major randomized controlled trials were published informing our practice on the optimal timing for kidney replacement therapy (KRT) initiation in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). In this review, we summarize the main findings of these trails and discuss the knowledge gaps that still need to be addressed. RECENT FINDINGS Four recent trials compared early versus delayed initiation of KRT in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury. Though each trial had unique design features, the three largest trials showed that earlier initiation of KRT did not reduce all-cause mortality. SUMMARY A preemptive strategy for initiation of kidney replacement therapy does not confer better survival in critically ill patients with severe AKI. However, early initiation of KRT was associated with a greater risk of iatrogenic complications and one trial showed a higher risk of persistent dialysis dependence. In the absence of absolute indications for KRT, clinicians should defer KRT initiation in patients with AKI. Further research is needed to examine the safety of prolonged KRT deferral and identify markers of fluid overload that may serve to trigger KRT initiation.

BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2021; 21:61. [PMID: 33517880 PMCID: PMC7849106 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-021-01879-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2020] [Accepted: 01/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Fluid overload is related to the development and prognosis of cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI). The study is to investigate the influence of serum creatinine (SCr) corrected by fluid balance on the prognosis of patients with cardiac surgery. Methods A retrospective study was conducted in 1334 patients who underwent elective cardiac surgery from January 1 to December 31, 2015. Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria for AKI were applied to identify CSA-AKI. SCr was measured every 24 h during ICU period and was accordingly adjusted for cumulative fluid balance. Changes in SCr, defined as ∆Crea, were determined by difference between before and after adjustment for cumulative fluid balance. All patients were then divided into three groups: underestimation group (∆Crea ≥ P75), normal group (P25 < ∆Crea < P75) and overestimation group (∆Crea ≤ P25). Results The incidence of AKI increased from 29.5% to 31.8% after adjustment for fluid balance. Patients in underestimation group showed prolonged length of ICU stay compared with normal group and overestimation group (3.2 [1.0–4.0] vs 2.1 [1.0–3.0] d, P < 0.001; 3.2 [1.0–4.0] vs 2.3 [1.0–3.0] d, P < 0.001). Length of hospital stay and mechanical ventilation dependent days in underestimation group were significantly longer than normal group (P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed age, baseline SCr and left ventricular ejection fraction were independently associated with underestimation of creatinine. Conclusions Cumulative fluid balance after cardiac surgery disturbs accurate measurement of serum creatinine. Patients with underestimation of SCr were associated with poor prognosis.

Pragmatic Recommendations for the Prevention and Treatment of Acute Kidney Injury in Patients with COVID-19 in Low- and Middle-Income Countries. Am J Trop Med Hyg 2021; 104:87-98. [PMID: 33432912 PMCID: PMC7957240 DOI: 10.4269/ajtmh.20-1242] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2020] [Accepted: 12/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Current recommendations for the management of patients with COVID-19 and acute kidney injury (AKI) are largely based on evidence from resource-rich settings, mostly located in high-income countries. It is often unpractical to apply these recommendations to resource-restricted settings. We report on a set of pragmatic recommendations for the prevention, diagnosis, and management of patients with COVID-19 and AKI in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). For the prevention of AKI among patients with COVID-19 in LMICs, we recommend using isotonic crystalloid solutions for expansion of intravascular volume, avoiding nephrotoxic medications, and using a conservative fluid management strategy in patients with respiratory failure. For the diagnosis of AKI, we suggest that any patient with COVID-19 presenting with an elevated serum creatinine level without available historical values be considered as having AKI. If serum creatinine testing is not available, we suggest that patients with proteinuria should be considered to have possible AKI. We suggest expansion of the use of point-of-care serum creatinine and salivary urea nitrogen testing in community health settings, as funding and availability allow. For the management of patients with AKI and COVID-19 in LMICS, we recommend judicious use of intravenous fluid resuscitation. For patients requiring dialysis who do not have acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), we suggest using peritoneal dialysis (PD) as first choice, where available and feasible. For patients requiring dialysis who do have ARDS, we suggest using hemodialysis, where available and feasible, to optimize fluid removal. We suggest using locally produced PD solutions when commercially produced solutions are unavailable or unaffordable.

Silence of Long Noncoding RNA SNHG14 Alleviates Ischemia/Reperfusion-Induced Acute Kidney Injury by Regulating miR-124-3p/MMP2 Axis. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 2021:8884438. [PMID: 33490282 PMCID: PMC7803415 DOI: 10.1155/2021/8884438] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2020] [Revised: 11/30/2020] [Accepted: 12/19/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Purpose Ample evidence has proved that lncRNAs are pivotal regulators in acute kidney injury (AKI). Here, we focus on the role and mechanism of lncRNA SNHG14 in ischemia/reperfusion- (I/R-) caused AKI. Methods I/R and hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) were applied to induce rats and HK-2 cells to establish AKI models in vivo and in vitro. Relative expression of SNHG14, miR-124-3p, and MMP2 was determined by qRT-PCR. HE staining was used to evaluate pathological changes in renal tissues, and acute tubular necrosis (ATN) score was calculated. Renal function was evaluated by measuring serum creatinine content and blood urea nitrogen content. Levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α were measured by ELISA. Cell viability was examined by MTT assay. Oxidative stress was assessed by measuring SOD, MDA, and ROS levels. The target of SNHG14 or miR-124-3p was verified by DLR assay. Protein expression of MMP2 was examined by western blot. Results SNHG14 was boosted in renal tissues of I/R-stimulated rats and H/R-induced HK-2 cells, while miR-124-3p was diminished in H/R-stimulated HK-2 cells. Si-SNHG14 or miR-124-3p mimics repressed inflammation and oxidative stress and enhanced cell viability in H/R-stimulated HK-2 cells. Sh-SNHG14 mitigated I/R-induced AKI in rats. MiR-124-3p was targeted by SNHG14, and MMP2 was targeted by miR-124-3p. Inhibition of miR-124-3p or upregulation of MMP2 reversed inhibitory effects of SNHG14 silence on inflammation and oxidative stress as well as the promoting effect of SNHG14 silence on cell viability in H/R-induced HK-2 cells. Conclusion Knockdown of SNHG14 alleviated I/R-induced AKI by miR-124-3p-mediated downregulation of MMP2.
