Mediators Inflamm 2024; 2024:1412709. [PMID: 39055134 PMCID: PMC11272401 DOI: 10.1155/2024/1412709] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2023] [Revised: 04/21/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade has surfaced as a viable substitute for assessing liver functional reserve in individuals afflicted with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). ALBI grade also demonstrates the capacity to stratify distinct patient subcohorts bearing disparate prognostic implications in not only HCC but also other inflammatory diseases like acute pancreatitis. However, the association between ALBI grade and clinical outcomes of acute kidney injury (AKI) remains mysterious. Methods The dataset was sourced from the Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care Database IV (MIMIC-IV) version 2.0. ALBI grade was calculated in a nomogram utilizing albumin and bilirubin. In order to ascertain the connection between ALBI grades and clinical outcomes of patients with AKI, Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was employed with in-hospital, 30- and 90-day mortality as end points, respectively. The Kaplan-Meier (K-M) curve was employed to gauge the cumulative incidence of mortality based on various ALBI grades. To explore potential nonlinear relationships, the Restricted Cubic Spline (RCS) approach was adopted. Furthermore, a subgroup analysis was conducted to validate the durability of the correlation between ALBI grade and in-hospital mortality. Furthermore, equilibrium of confounding variables was also achieved through the application of propensity score matching (PSM). Results The study encompassed a total of 12,518 patients (ALBI grade 1 : 2878, grade 2 : 6708, and grade 3 : 2932). Patients with heightened ALBI grades displayed a significant correlation with increased mortality in both univariate and various multivariate Cox regression models. RCS depicted a predominantly linear relationship. The robustness of the correlation was also affirmed across multifarious subpopulations through subgroup analysis. The association still remains after PSM. Conclusion Elevated ALBI grade was associated with worse clinical outcomes of critically ill patients with AKI.

Performance of risk scores in predicting mortality at 3, 6, and 12 months in patients diagnosed with community-acquired pneumonia. BMC Pulm Med 2024; 24:334. [PMID: 38987754 PMCID: PMC11238446 DOI: 10.1186/s12890-024-03121-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Risk scores (RS) evaluate the likelihood of short-term mortality in patients diagnosed with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). However, there is a scarcity of evidence to determine the risk of long-term mortality. This article aims to compare the effectiveness of 16 scores in predicting mortality at three, six, and twelve months in adult patients with CAP. METHODS A retrospective cohort study on individuals diagnosed with CAP was conducted across two hospitals in Colombia. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed at 3, 6, and 12 months to assess the predictive ability of death for the following scoring systems: CURB-65, CRB-65, SCAP, CORB, ADROP, NEWS, Pneumonia Shock, REA-ICU, PSI, SMART-COP, SMRT-CO, SOAR, qSOFA, SIRS, CAPSI, and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). RESULTS A total of 3688 patients were included in the final analysis. Mortality at 3, 6, and 12 months was 5.2%, 8.3%, and 16.3% respectively. At 3 months, PSI, CCI, and CRB-65 scores showed ROC curves of 0.74 (95% CI: 0.71-0.77), 0.71 (95% CI: 0.67-0.74), and 0.70 (95% CI: 0.66-0.74). At 6 months, PSI and CCI scores showed performances of 0.74 (95% CI: 0.72-0.77) and 0.72 (95% CI: 0.69-0.74), respectively. Finally at 12 months, all evaluated scores showed poor discriminatory capacity, including PSI, which decreased from acceptable to poor with an ROC curve of 0.64 (95% CI: 0.61-0.66). CONCLUSION When predicting mortality in patients with CAP, at 3 months, PSI, CCI, and CRB-65 showed acceptable predictive performances. At 6 months, only PSI and CCI maintained acceptable levels of accuracy. For the 12-month period, all evaluated scores exhibited very limited discriminatory ability, ranging from poor to almost negligible.

Abstract
The number of patients with AKI receiving outpatient hemodialysis (AKI-D) is increasing. At present, on the basis of limited data, approximately one third of patients with AKI-D who receive outpatient dialysis after hospital discharge survive and regain sufficient kidney function to discontinue dialysis. Data to inform dialysis management strategies that promote kidney function recovery and processes of care among patients with AKI-D receiving outpatient dialysis are lacking. In this article, we detail current trends in the incidence, risk factors, clinical outcomes, proposed management, and health policy landscape for patients with AKI-D receiving outpatient dialysis and identify areas for further research.

Abstract
Renal recovery following dialysis-requiring acute kidney injury (AKI-D) is a vital clinical outcome in critical care, yet it remains an understudied area. This retrospective cohort study, conducted in a medical center in Taiwan from 2015 to 2020, enrolled patients with AKI-D during intensive care unit stays. We aimed to develop and temporally test models for predicting dialysis liberation before hospital discharge using machine learning algorithms and explore early predictors. The dataset comprised 90 routinely collected variables within the first three days of dialysis initiation. Out of 1,381 patients who received acute dialysis, 27.3% experienced renal recovery. The cohort was divided into the training group (N = 1135) and temporal testing group (N = 251). The models demonstrated good performance, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.85 (95% CI, 0.81-0.88) and an area under the precision-recall curve of 0.69 (95% CI, 0.62-0.76) for the XGBoost model. Key predictors included urine volume, Charlson comorbidity index, vital sign derivatives (trend of respiratory rate and SpO2), and lactate levels. We successfully developed early prediction models for renal recovery by integrating early changes in vital signs and inputs/outputs, which have the potential to aid clinical decision-making in the ICU.

Abstract
Background: The incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is relatively high in some Asian regions. The objective of this study was to examine the performance of an AKI prediction model developed based on data from a White-dominant population in a retrospective Asian cohort of patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery. Methods: We retrospectively identified 549 patients who underwent elective major cardiovascular surgery (coronary artery bypass graft, valve surgery, and aorta surgery), and excluded those who underwent a percutaneous cardiovascular procedure. Patients with a baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 were also excluded. AKI was defined according to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) definition. Performance of the prediction model for AKI was expressed as area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Results: The prediction model had a good predictive accuracy for postoperative AKI (all AUC > 0.92). The AUC of the prediction model in subgroups of age (<65 years and ≥65 years), sex (male and female), hypertension, and diabetes were all >0.85 (all p values < 0.001). Conclusions: The model could be used to predict postoperative AKI in Asian patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery with a baseline eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2.

Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major contributor to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). About one-third of patients with ESKD due to AKI recover kidney function. However, the inability to accurately predict recovery leads to improper triage of clinical monitoring and impacts the quality of care in ESKD. Methods Using data from the United States Renal Data System from 2005 to 2014 (n = 22 922), we developed a clinical score to predict kidney recovery within 90 days and within 12 months after dialysis initiation in patients with ESKD due to AKI. Multivariable logistic regressions were used to examine the effect of various covariates on the primary outcome of kidney recovery to develop the scoring system. The resulting logistic parameter estimates were transformed into integer point totals by doubling and rounding the estimates. Internal validation was performed. Results Twenty-four percent and 34% of patients with ESKD due to AKI recovered kidney function within 90 days and 12 months, respectively. Factors contributing to points in the two scoring systems were similar but not identical, and included age, race/ethnicity, body mass index, congestive heart failure, cancer, amputation, functional status, hemoglobin and prior nephrology care. Three score categories of increasing recovery were formed: low score (0-6), medium score (7-9) and high score (10-12), which exhibited 90-day recovery rates of 12%, 26% and 57%. For the 12-month scores, the low, medium and high groups consisted of scores 0-5, 6-8 and 9-11, with 12-month recovery rates of 16%, 33% and 62%, respectively. The internal validation assessment showed no overfitting of the models. Conclusion A clinical score derived from information available at incident dialysis predicts renal recovery at 90 days and 12 months in patients with presumed ESKD due to AKI. The score can help triage appropriate monitoring to facilitate recovery and begin planning long-term dialysis care for others.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a heterogeneous syndrome, comprising diverse etiologies of kidney insults that result in high mortality and morbidity if not well managed. Although great efforts have been made to investigate underlying pathogenic mechanisms of AKI, there are limited therapeutic strategies available. Extracellular vesicles (EV) are membrane-bound vesicles secreted by various cell types, which can serve as cell-free therapy through transfer of bioactive molecules. In this review, we first overview the AKI syndrome and EV biology, with a particular focus on the technical aspects and therapeutic application of cell culture-derived EVs. Second, we illustrate how multi-omic approaches to EV miRNA, protein, and genomic cargo analysis can yield new insights into their mechanisms of action and address unresolved questions in the field. We then summarize major experimental evidence regarding the therapeutic potential of EVs in AKI, which we subdivide into stem cell and non-stem cell-derived EVs. Finally, we highlight the challenges and opportunities related to the clinical translation of animal studies into human patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was to investigate the association between albumin-corrected anion gap (AG) (ACAG) levels and the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. METHODS The ICU patients of this retrospective cohort study were collected from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database between 2008 and 2019. ACAG = AG + {4.4 - [albumin (g/dl)]} × 2.5. The incidence of AKI was determined using the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) definition. The logistic regression model was used to evaluate the association between ACAG levels and the risk of AKI. Subgroup analyses were applied based on age, gender, mechanical ventilation, vasopressors, the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), and the Simplified Acute Physiology Score II (SAPS II). RESULTS Totally, 5586 patients were enrolled, of which 1929 patients (34.53%) occurred AKI. The higher levels of ACAG were associated with the risk of AKI in ICU patients, with the odds ratio (OR) value being 1.23 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.22-1.24, P = 0.005] in ACAG level between 16.5 and 19.5, and OR value being 1.20 (95% CI 1.16-1.24, P = 0.016) in ACAG level > 19.5. A higher ACAG level was associated with a higher risk of AKI in ICU patients aged < 65 years, in ICU patients of female gender, in ICU patients who used mechanical ventilation, in ICU patients who did not use vasopressors, in patients without cardiogenic shock, and in ICU patients with CCI ≥ 2, and SAPS II > 31 (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSION There is an association between ACAG level and the risk of AKI in ICU patients. A higher ACAG value in ICU patients should therefore receive more attention.

[PMID: 37787894 PMCID: PMC11043156 DOI: 10.1007/s40620-023-01774-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 10/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to study the role of aetiology, pre-existing chronic kidney disease (CKD) and infections in acute kidney injury (AKI) on renal outcome and mortality. METHODS This retrospective study analysed patients with AKI admitted to a university nephrology department from January 1st, 2020 through December 31st, 2020. Aetiology of AKI, underlying renal disease in case of pre-existing CKD and presence of infections were assessed. Development of renal function and risk of death were studied with follow-up until January 31st, 2023. RESULTS Of 1402 patients screened, 432 patients (30.8%, 67.9 ± 15.4 years) fulfilled the inclusion criteria, half of the population presented with advanced CKD. Even though CKD patients were more often in need of chronic dialysis at time of discharge (6.9% vs 4.5%, p < .001), duration of hospital stay was shorter and in-hospital mortality tended to be lower when compared to AKI without prior renal disease. Neither aetiology of AKI nor pre-existing CKD had an impact on the combined endpoint of end-stage kidney disease and mortality (log rank 0.433 and 0.909). Overall, septic patients showed the highest in-hospital mortality (23.5%) and longest hospital stay (30.0 ± 22.8 days, p < .001), while patients with urosepsis had the shortest hospitalisation time (9.7 days) with lowest risk for dialysis (4.4%). Of note, outcome did not differ in patients with AKI when considering the infectious status. CONCLUSIONS Overall renal outcome and mortality in AKI patients were not affected by the cause of AKI, pre-existent CKD or infectious status. Only severity of AKI had a negative impact on outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Up to one third of survivors of AKI that required dialysis (AKI-D) during hospitalization remain dialysis dependent at hospital discharge. Of these, 20%-60%, depending on the clinical setting, eventually recover enough kidney function to stop dialysis, and the remainder progress to ESKD. METHODS To describe the challenges facing those still receiving dialysis on discharge, the AKINow Committee conducted a group discussion comprising 59 participants, including physicians, advanced practitioners, nurses, pharmacists, and patients. The discussion was framed by a patient who described gaps in care delivery at different transition points and miscommunication between care team members and the patient. RESULTS Group discussions collected patient perspectives of ( 1 ) being often scared and uncertain about what is happening to and around them and ( 2 ) the importance of effective and timely communication, a comfortable physical setting, and attentive and caring health care providers for a quality health care experience. Provider perspectives included ( 1 ) the recognition of the lack of evidence-based practices and quality indicators, the significant variability in current care models, and the uncertain reimbursement incentives focused on kidney recovery and ( 2 ) the urgency to address communication barriers among hospital providers and outpatient facilities. CONCLUSIONS The workgroup identified key areas for future research and policy change to ( 1 ) improve communication among hospital providers, dialysis units, and patients/care partners; ( 2 ) develop tools for risk classification, subphenotyping, and augmented clinical decision support; ( 3 ) improve education to providers, staff, and patients/care partners; ( 4 ) identify best practices to improve relevant outcomes; ( 5 ) validate quality indicators; and ( 6 ) assess the effect of social determinants of health on outcomes. We urge all stakeholders involved in the process of AKI-D care to align goals and work together to fill knowledge gaps and optimize the care to this highly vulnerable patient population.

Abstract
Improved understanding of differences in kidney disease epidemiology, management and outcomes in men and women could help nephrologists to better meet the needs of their patients from a sex- and gender-specific perspective. Evidence of sex differences in the risk and outcomes of acute kidney injury is mixed and dependent on aetiology. Women have a higher prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3-5 than men, whereas men have a higher prevalence of albuminuria and hence CKD stages 1-2. Men show a faster decline in kidney function, progress more frequently to kidney failure and have higher mortality and risk of cardiovascular disease than women. However, the protective effect of female sex is reduced with CKD progression. Women are less likely than men to be aware of, screened for and diagnosed with CKD, started on antiproteinuric medication and referred to nephrologist care. They also consistently report a poorer health-related quality of life and a higher symptom burden than men. Women experience greater barriers than men to access the waiting list for kidney transplantation, particularly with respect to older age and obesity. However, women also have longer survival than men after transplantation, which may partly explain the comparable prevalence of transplantation between the sexes.

Abstract
Emergency surgery in patients with significant comorbidities benefits from a structured approach to preoperative evaluation, intra-operative intervention, and postoperative management. Providing goal concordant care is ideal using shared decision-making. When operation cannot achieve the patient's goal, non-operative therapy including Comfort Care is appropriate. When surgical therapy is offered, preoperative physiology-improving interventions are far fewer than in other phases. Reevaluation of clinical care progress helps define trajectory and inform goals of care. Palliative Care Medicine may be critical in supporting loved ones during a patient's critical illness. Outcome evaluation defines successful strategies and outline opportunities for improvement.

Abstract
In Taiwan, most first-time dialysis was started without the creation of an arteriovenous shunt. Here, we aimed to elucidate the transitions of dialysis status in the unplanned first dialysis patients and determine factors associated with their outcomes. A total of 50,315 unplanned first dialysis patients aged more than 18 years were identified from the National Health Insurance Dataset in Taiwan between 2001 and 2012. All patients were followed for 5 years for the transitions in dialysis status, including robust (dialysis-free), sporadic dialysis, continued dialysis, and death. Furthermore, factors associated with the development of continued dialysis and death were examined by the Cox proportional hazard models. After 5 years after the first dialysis occurrence, there were 5.39% with robust status, 1.67% with sporadic dialysis, 8.45% with continued dialysis, and 84.48% with death. Notably, we have identified common risk factors for developing maintenance dialysis and deaths, including male gender, older age, diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, heart failure, sepsis, and surgery. There was an extremely high mortality rate among the first unplanned dialysis patients in Taiwan. Less than 10% of these patients underwent continued dialysis during the 5-year follow-up period. This study highlighted the urgent need for interventions to improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE Acute kidney injury (AKI) carries high rates of morbidity and mortality. This study quantified various short- and long-term outcomes after hospitalization with AKI. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective propensity score (PS)-matched cohort study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS Optum Clinformatics, a national claims database, was used to identify patients hospitalized with and without an AKI discharge diagnosis between January 2007 and September 2020. EXPOSURE Among patients with prior continuous enrollment for at least 2years without AKI hospitalization, 471,176 patients hospitalized with AKI were identified and PS-matched to 471,176 patients hospitalized without AKI. OUTCOME(S) All-cause and selected-cause rehospitalizations and mortality 90 and 365 days after index hospitalization. ANALYTICAL APPROACH After PS matching, rehospitalization and death incidences were estimated using the cumulative incidence function method and compared using Gray's test. The association of AKI hospitalization with each outcome was tested using Cox models for all-cause mortality and, with mortality as competing risk, cause-specific hazard modeling for all-cause and selected-cause rehospitalization. Overall and stratified analyses were performed to evaluate for interaction between an AKI hospitalization and preexisting chronic kidney disease (CKD). RESULTS After PS matching, AKI was associated with higher rates of rehospitalization for any cause (hazard ratio [HR], 1.62; 95% CI, 1.60-1.65), end-stage renal disease (HR, 6.21; 95% CI, 1.04-36.92), heart failure (HR, 2.81; 95% CI, 2.66, 2.97), sepsis (HR, 2.62; 95% CI, 2.49-2.75), pneumonia (HR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.37-1.57), myocardial infarction (HR, 1.48; 95% CI, 1.33-1.65), and volume depletion (HR, 1.64; 95% CI, 1.37-1.96) at 90 days after discharge compared with the group without AKI, with similar findings at 365 days. Mortality rate was higher in the group with AKI than in the group without AKI at 90 (HR, 2.66; 95% CI, 2.61-2.72) and 365 days (HR, 2.11; 95% CI, 2.08-2.14). The higher risk of outcomes persisted when participants were stratified by CKD status (P<0.01). LIMITATIONS Causal associations between AKI and the reported outcomes cannot be inferred. CONCLUSIONS AKI during hospitalization in patients with and without CKD is associated with increased risk of 90- and 365-day all-cause/selected-cause rehospitalization and death.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For patients who initiate dialysis during a hospital admission and continue to require dialysis after discharge, outpatient dialysis management could be improved by better understanding the future likelihood of recovery to dialysis independence and the competing risk of death. METHODS We derived and validated linked models to predict the subsequent recovery to dialysis independence and death within 1 year of hospital discharge using a population-based cohort of 7657 patients in Ontario, Canada. Predictive variables included age, comorbidities, length of hospital admission, intensive care status, discharge disposition, and prehospital admission eGFR and random urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio. Models were externally validated in 1503 contemporaneous patients from Alberta, Canada. Both models were created using proportional hazards survival analysis, with the "Recovery Model" using Fine-Gray methods. Probabilities generated from both models were used to develop 16 distinct "Recovery and Death in Outpatients" (ReDO) risk groups. RESULTS ReDO risk groups in the derivation group had significantly distinct 1-year probabilities for recovery to dialysis independence (first quartile: 10% [95% confidence interval (CI), 9% to 11%]; fourth quartile: 73% [70% to 77%]) and for death (first quartile: 12% [11% to 13%]; fourth quartile: 46% [43% to 50%]). In the validation group, model discrimination was modest (c-statistics [95% CI] for recovery and for death quartiles were 0.70 [0.67 to 0.73] and 0.66 [0.62 to 0.69], respectively), but calibration was excellent (integrated calibration index [95% CI] was 7% [5% to 9%] and 4% [2% to 6%] for recovery and death, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The ReDO models generated accurate expected probabilities of recovery to dialysis independence and death in patients who continued outpatient dialysis after initiating dialysis in hospital.

Abstract
Acute kidney disease (AKD) involves multiple pathogenic mechanisms, including maladaptive repair of renal cells that are rich in mitochondria. Maintenance of mitochondrial homeostasis and quality control is crucial for normal kidney function. Mitochondrial quality control serves to maintain mitochondrial function under various conditions, including mitochondrial bioenergetics, mitochondrial biogenesis, mitochondrial dynamics (fusion and fission) and mitophagy. To date, increasing evidence indicates that mitochondrial quality control is disrupted when acute kidney disease develops. This review describes the mechanisms of mitochondria quality control in acute kidney disease, aiming to provide clues to help design new clinical treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prospective associations of serum 25(OH)D, sun exposure time, and dietary vitamin D with risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) are unclear. OBJECTIVES We aimed to evaluate the relations of serum 25(OH)D, sun exposure time, and dietary vitamin D intake with new-onset AKI and examine whether genetic susceptibility modified such associations. METHODS A total of 413,169 participants (mean age was 56.4 y, 47.2% were male) from UK Biobank without prior AKI were included. Sun exposure time was expressed as time spent outdoors. Genetic risk scores were calculated by 263 single nucleotide polymorphisms, which showed significant associations with the estimated glomerular filtration rate. The primary outcome was new-onset AKI. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the HRs and (95% CIs). RESULTS During a median follow-up duration of 12 y, 16,938 (4.1%) participates developed new-onset AKI. Compared with those with serum 25(OH)D <25 nmol/L, significantly lower risks of new-onset AKI were found between participants with 25(OH)D 25 to <50 nmol/L (adjusted HR: 0.76; 95% CI: 0.73, 0.80), and ≥50 nmol/L (adjusted HR: 0.69; 95% CI: 0.65, 0.72). Moreover, in summer, participants who spent ≥4 h outdoors per day (tertile 3) had a significantly lower risk of new-onset AKI (adjusted HR: 0.90; 95% CI: 0.86, 0.95) than those who spent <2 h outdoors per day (tertile 1). Similar results were found for time spent outdoors in winter. In addition, those in quintile 5 of dietary vitamin D intake showed a lower risk of new-onset AKI (≥4.2 μg/d, adjusted HR: 0.90; 95% CI: 0.82, 0.98) than those in quintile 1 (<1.0 μg/d). Genetic risks of kidney diseases did not significantly modify all the 3 above associations (all P-interactions >0.05). CONCLUSIONS Serum 25(OH)D concentrations, time spent outdoors, and dietary vitamin D intake were all inversely associated with new-onset AKI, independent of genetic risks for kidney diseases.

Nephrol Dial Transplant 2023; 38:447-454. [PMID: 35150277 DOI: 10.1093/ndt/gfac039] [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: 10/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Vaccination against hepatitis B virus (HBV) is recommended for dialysis patients. Two reports comparing seroprotection (SP) rates following HepB and HepB-CpG in vaccine-naïve patients with chronic kidney disease enrolled few dialysis patients (n = 122 combined). SP rates in a subset of dialysis patients were not reported or not powered to detect statistically significant differences. SP rates in those requiring additional vaccine series or booster doses are not known. METHODS A retrospective cohort analysis including dialysis patients completing HepB or HepB-CpG vaccination between January 2019 and December 2020. Vaccine-naïve patients received a series of HepB or HepB-CpG (Series 1). A repeat series was given to nonresponders (Series 2). A booster regimen consists of one dose of either vaccine. Primary outcome was achieving SP (anti-HBs >10 mIU/mL) at least 60 days after the last HBV vaccine dose for Series 1 and Series 2, and achieving SP at least 3 weeks post-booster. RESULTS For Series 1 (n = 3509), SP after HepB vaccination was significantly higher (62.9% versus 50.1% for HepB-CpG; P < 0.0001). Series 2 (n = 1040) and booster (n = 2028) SP rates were similar between vaccines. Patients that received up to four HepB-CpG doses had higher SP rates compared with four doses of HepB (82.0% versus 62.9%, respectively; P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS SP rates in hepatitis B vaccine-naïve dialysis patients administered a recommended four doses of HepB were higher than those recommended two doses of HepB-CpG. SP rates were higher and achieved sooner if HepB-CpG was utilized initially and, if needed, for Series 2. Optimal HepB-CpG dosing deserves further study.

Efficacy and safety of rituximab for primary nephrotic syndrome with acute kidney injury: A two-center prospective cohort study. Clin Immunol 2023; 246:109211. [PMID: 36563945 DOI: 10.1016/j.clim.2022.109211] [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: 10/07/2022] [Revised: 11/27/2022] [Accepted: 12/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of a low-dose Rituximab (RTX) regimen driven by peripheral blood B lymphocyte count in the treatment of adult patients with nephrotic syndrome (NS) complicated with acute kidney disease (AKI). We conducted a prospective single-arm study to evaluate the effect of B cells-driven RTX regimen. Patients with NS (MCD, FSGS, MN, IgAN) complicated with AKI fulfilling the inclusion criteria were eligible for this study. Patients were followed up at intervals of 2 months. Student's t-test and Chi-squared test were used to analyze normally distributed continuous variables and non-normally distributed continuous variables, respectively. From August 2018 to January 2022, 23 patients met the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate in the study. 3, 9, and 11 patients were AKI stage 1, 2, and 3, respectively. From baseline to the latest follow-up, 20 patients had complete and partial recovery of renal function. Accompanied by depletion of B cells, significant reduction of urinary protein excretion, serum total cholesterol, and the number of relapses were observed during the 12 months after the first RTX infusion as compared with during the 12 months before RTX injection. The number of patients who maintained steroids and immunosuppressive medications also remarkably decreased. This study indicates that the targets-driven treatment of low-dose RTX can achieve a high remission rate and alleviate the loss of kidney function in treating NS with AKI. The long-term efficacy, side effects, and therapeutic economics of RTX are reasonable.

Abstract
Background The hypo-perfusion of the kidneys can lead to impairment in renal function and induce renal injury in case of delayed diagnosis and treatment. To date, laboratory markers are routinely used to determine the fluid volume status of the patients. The current study aims to evaluate the values of inferior vena cava (IVC) collapsibility index in hypovolemia diagnosis among critical patients admitted at the intensive care unit (ICU). Materials and Methods This is a cross-sectional study performed on 67 patients admitted to the ICU due to acute kidney injury from May 2018 to October 2019. Hypovolemia was assessed assessing IVC collapsibility using ultrasonography. Laboratory data, including urine osmolality, urine-plasma creatinine ratio, sodium excretion fraction and urinary sodium level were checked. Afterward, IVC collapsibility index was measured for each patient using ultrasonography and the values of this index in accordance with the mentioned criteria was evaluated. Accordingly, reciever operating curve was depicted. Results There was no significant asosociation between IVC collapsibility index with fractional excretion of sodium (P = 0.69), urine Na (P = 0.93) and urine osmolality ([P = 0.09]), while urine: Plasma creatinie ration revealed a significant association with IVC collapsibility index at cut point of 40.5% with sensitivity and specificity of 96% and 44% (P = 0.017, area under the curve: 0.67, 95% confidence interval: 0.551-0.804), respectively. Conclusion According to the findings of this study, IVC collapsibility detected via ultrasonography was not an appropriate index to figure out hypovolemia in ICU patients. Furthermore, detailed studies are recommended.

Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major risk factor for chronic kidney disease and increased mortality. Until now, no compelling preventive or therapeutic strategies have been identified. Dietary interventions have been proven highly effective in organ protection from ischemia reperfusion injury in mice and restricting dietary intake of sulfur-containing amino acids (SAA) seems to be instrumental in this regard. The UNICORN trial aimed to evaluate the protective impact of restricting SAA intake before cardiac surgery on incidence of AKI. Methods and Results In this single-center, randomized, controlled, double-blind trial, 115 patients were assigned to a SAA-reduced formula diet (LowS group) or a regular formula diet (control group) in a 1:1 ratio for 7 days before scheduled cardiac surgery. The primary end point was incidence of AKI within 72 hours after surgery, secondary end points included increase of serum creatinine at 24, 48, and 72 hours as well as safety parameters. Quantitative variables were analyzed with nonparametric methods, while categorical variables were evaluated by means of Chi-square or Fisher test. SAA intake in the group with SAA reduced formula diet was successfully reduced by 77% (group with SAA reduced formula diet, 7.37[6.40-7.80] mg/kg per day versus control group, 32.33 [28.92-33.60] mg/kg per day, P<0.001) leading to significantly lower serum levels of methionine. No beneficial effects of SAA restriction on the rate of AKI after surgery could be observed (group with SAA reduced formula diet, 23% versus control group, 16%; P=0.38). Likewise, no differences were recorded with respect to secondary end points (AKI during hospitalization, creatinine at 24, 48, 72 hours after surgery) as well as in subgroup analysis focusing on age, sex, body mass index and diabetes. Conclusions SAA restriction was feasible in the clinical setting but was not associated with protective properties in AKI upon cardiac surgery.

Caloric restriction reduces the pro-inflammatory eicosanoid 20- hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid to protect from acute kidney injury. Kidney Int 2022; 102:560-576.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury is a frequent complication in the clinical setting and associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Preconditioning with short-term caloric restriction is highly protective against kidney injury in rodent ischemia reperfusion injury models. However, the underlying mechanisms are unknown hampering clinical translation. Here, we examined the molecular basis of caloric restriction-mediated protection to elucidate the principles of kidney stress resistance. Analysis of an RNAseq dataset after caloric restriction identified Cyp4a12a, a cytochrome exclusively expressed in male mice, to be strongly downregulated after caloric restriction. Kidney ischemia reperfusion injury robustly induced acute kidney injury in male mice and this damage could be markedly attenuated by pretreatment with caloric restriction. In females, damage was significantly less pronounced and preconditioning with caloric restriction had only little effect. Tissue concentrations of the metabolic product of Cyp4a12a, 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), were found to be significantly reduced by caloric restriction. Conversely, intraperitoneal supplementation of 20-HETE in preconditioned males partly abrogated the protective potential of caloric restriction. Interestingly, this effect was accompanied by a partial reversal of caloric restriction-induced changes in protein but not RNA expression pointing towards inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum stress and lipid metabolism. Thus, our findings provide an insight into the mechanisms underlying kidney protection by caloric restriction. Hence, understanding the mediators of preconditioning is an important pre-requisite for moving towards translation to the clinical setting.

Abstract
Objectives Survivors of critical illness and acute kidney injury (AKI) are at risk of increased morbidity. The purpose of this study was to compare physical, emotional, and cognitive health in survivors of critical illness with and without AKI. Methods Retrospective cohort study of adult (≥ 18 years old) survivors of critical illness due to sepsis and/or acute respiratory failure who attended follow-up in a specialized ICU Recovery Clinic. Outcomes were evaluated during 3-month visit and comprised validated tests for evaluation of physical function, muscle strength, cognitive and emotional health, and self-reported health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Descriptive statistics and group comparisons were performed. Results A total of 104 patients with median age of 55 [49-64] years, 54% male, and median SOFA score of 10 [8-12] were analyzed. Incidence of AKI during ICU admission was 61 and 19.2% of patients required renal replacement therapy (RRT). Patients with AKI stage 2 or 3 (vs. those with AKI stage 1 or no AKI) walked less on the 6-min walk test (223 ± 132 vs. 295 ± 153 m, p = 0.059) and achieved lower of the predicted walk distance (38% vs. 58%, p = 0.041). Similar patterns of worse physical function and more significant muscle weakness were observed in multiple tests, with overall worse metrics in patients that required RRT. Patients with AKI stage 2 or 3 also reported lower HRQOL scores when compared to their counterparts, including less ability to return to work or hobby, or reengage in driving. There were no significant differences in cognitive function or emotional health between groups. Conclusions Survivors of critical illness and AKI stage 2 or 3 have increased physical debility and overall lower quality of life, with more impairment in return to work, hobby, and driving when compared to their counterparts without AKI or AKI stage 1 at 3 months post-discharge.

Abstract
Female sex confers renoprotection in chronic progressive kidney disease. It is less well recognized that sexual dimorphism also is evident in the development of ischemic and nephrotoxic acute kidney injury (AKI). Animal studies consistently have shown that female sex protects against the development of renal injury in experimental models of ischemic AKI. However, the consensus opinion is that in human beings, female sex is an independent risk factor for AKI. Based on a systematic review of experimental and clinical literature, we present data to support the conclusion that, contrary to consensus opinion, it is male sex, not female sex, that is associated with the development of AKI.

Hematological Ratios Are Associated with Acute Kidney Injury and Mortality in Patients That Present with Suspected Infection at the Emergency Department. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11041017.

Abstract
The early recognition of acute kidney injury (AKI) is essential to improve outcomes and prevent complications such as chronic kidney disease, the need for renal-replacement therapy, and an increased length of hospital stay. Increasing evidence shows that inflammation plays an important role in the pathophysiology of AKI and mortality. Several inflammatory hematological ratios can be used to measure systemic inflammation. Therefore, the association between these ratios and outcomes (AKI and mortality) in patients suspected of having an infection at the emergency department was investigated. Data from the SPACE cohort were used. Cox regression was performed to investigate the association between seven hematological ratios and outcomes. A total of 1889 patients were included, of which 160 (8.5%) patients developed AKI and 102 (5.4%) died in <30 days. The Cox proportional-hazards model revealed that the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), segmented-neutrophil-to-monocyte ratio (SMR), and neutrophil-lymphocyte-platelet ratio (NLPR) are independently associated with AKI <30 days after emergency-department presentation. Additionally, the NLR, SMR and NLPR were associated with 30-day all-cause mortality. These findings are an important step forward for the early recognition of AKI. The use of these markers might enable emergency-department physicians to recognize and treat AKI in an early phase to potentially prevent complications.

Abstract
Alhagi camelorum (AC) is an old plant with a significant therapeutic value throughout Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The overuse of cisplatin (Cis > 50 mg/m2) is associated with observed nephrotoxicity, ototoxicity, gastrotoxicity, myelosuppression, and allergic reactions. Remedial measures are needed for the protection of nephrotoxicity against cisplatin. Thus, we investigated the nephroprotective effects of AC plant extract to prevent cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in albino Wistar rats. The presence of polyphenols, phenolic compounds, tannins, and saponins was revealed during phytochemical investigation, and a significantly intense antioxidant activity was recorded. There were no toxicological symptoms in the treated rats, and no anatomical, physiological, or histological abnormalities were found compared to the control rats. The results of correcting cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity revealed that the extract has a significant ability to treat kidney damage, with most parameters returning to normal after only three weeks of therapy. It is concluded that co-administration of cisplatin with AC extract showed exceptional nephroprotective effects at a dose of 600 mg/kg for Cis-induced nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
Rationale & Objective Since January 2017, patients with acute kidney injury requiring dialysis (AKI-D) can be discharged to outpatient dialysis centers for continued hemodialysis (HD) support. We aimed to examine the rate of kidney recovery, time to recovery, and hospitalization-related clinical parameters associated with kidney recovery in patients with AKI-D. Study Design Single-center prospective cohort study. Setting & Participants 111 adult patients who were admitted to the University of Kentucky Hospital, experienced AKI-D, and were discharged with need of outpatient HD. Exposure Hospitalization-related clinical parameters were evaluated. Outcome Kidney recovery as a composite of being alive and no longer requiring HD or other form of kidney replacement therapy. Analytical Approach Discrete-time survival analysis and logistic regression were used to determine adjusted probabilities of kidney recovery at prespecified time points and to evaluate clinical parameters associated with recovery. Results 45 (41%) patients recovered kidney function, 25 (55.5%) within the first 30 days following discharge, 16 (35.5%) within 30 to 60 days, and 4 (9%) within 60 to 90 days. Adjusted probabilities of recovery were 36.7%, 27.4%, and 6.3%, respectively. Of the remaining patients, 49 (44%) developed kidney failure requiring chronic kidney replacement therapy and 17 (15%) died or went to hospice. Patients who did not recover kidney function were older, had more comorbid conditions, had lower estimated glomerular filtration rates at baseline, and received more blood transfusions during hospitalization when compared with those who recovered kidney function. Limitations Selection bias given that patients included in the study were all eligible for AKI management with outpatient HD as part of Medicare/Medicaid services. Conclusions At least one-third of AKI-D survivors discharged from an acute care hospital dependent on HD recovered kidney function within the first 90 days of discharge, more commonly in the first 30 days postdischarge. Future studies should elucidate clinical parameters that can inform risk classification and interventions to promote kidney recovery in this vulnerable and growing population.

Abstract
Rationale & Objective Acute kidney injury treated with kidney replacement therapy (AKI-KRT) occurs frequently in critically ill patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We examined the clinical factors that determine kidney recovery in this population. Study Design Multicenter cohort study. Setting & Participants 4,221 adults not receiving KRT who were admitted to intensive care units at 68 US hospitals with COVID-19 from March 1 to June 22, 2020 (the “ICU cohort”). Among these, 876 developed AKI-KRT after admission to the ICU (the “AKI-KRT subcohort”). Exposure The ICU cohort was analyzed using AKI severity as the exposure. For the AKI-KRT subcohort, exposures included demographics, comorbidities, initial mode of KRT, and markers of illness severity at the time of KRT initiation. Outcome The outcome for the ICU cohort was estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at hospital discharge. A 3-level outcome (death, kidney nonrecovery, and kidney recovery at discharge) was analyzed for the AKI-KRT subcohort. Analytical Approach The ICU cohort was characterized using descriptive analyses. The AKI-KRT subcohort was characterized with both descriptive analyses and multinomial logistic regression to assess factors associated with kidney nonrecovery while accounting for death. Results Among a total of 4,221 patients in the ICU cohort, 2,361 (56%) developed AKI, including 876 (21%) who received KRT. More severe AKI was associated with higher mortality. Among survivors, more severe AKI was associated with an increased rate of kidney nonrecovery and lower kidney function at discharge. Among the 876 patients with AKI-KRT, 588 (67%) died, 95 (11%) had kidney nonrecovery, and 193 (22%) had kidney recovery by the time of discharge. The odds of kidney nonrecovery was greater for lower baseline eGFR, with ORs of 2.09 (95% CI, 1.09-4.04), 4.27 (95% CI, 1.99-9.17), and 8.69 (95% CI, 3.07-24.55) for baseline eGFR 31-60, 16-30, ≤15 mL/min/1.73 m2, respectively, compared with eGFR > 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Oliguria at the time of KRT initiation was also associated with nonrecovery (ORs of 2.10 [95% CI, 1.14-3.88] and 4.02 [95% CI, 1.72-9.39] for patients with 50-499 and <50 mL/d of urine, respectively, compared to ≥500 mL/d of urine). Limitations Later recovery events may not have been captured due to lack of postdischarge follow-up. Conclusions Lower baseline eGFR and reduced urine output at the time of KRT initiation are each strongly and independently associated with kidney nonrecovery among critically ill patients with COVID-19.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Background
Kidney disease registries typically report populations incident to kidney replacement therapy (KRT) after excluding reversible disease. Registry-based audit and quality assurance is thus based on populations depleted of those with the highest early mortality. It is now mandatory for UK kidney units to report all recipients of dialysis, both acute and chronic. This work presents 90-day survival and recovery outcomes for all reported adults.
Methods
Seventy adult centres reporting to the UK Renal Registry were included. Those assessed as underreporting death and recovery were excluded. Survival was evaluated using a Kaplan–Meier estimator. Cox regression was used to describe hazard ratios (HRs) for age, sex and acute/chronic dialysis coding on day 1. Analysis of all-cause 90-day mortality with recovery as a competing risk is presented.
Results
Twenty-four centres were assessed as underreporting, with rates of death/recovery below the 99.7th centile. Of 5784 dialysis starters in the remaining 46 centres, 2163 (37.4%) were coded as receiving acute dialysis on day 1. Ninety days after starting, 3860 (66.7%) of all starters were receiving KRT, 1157 (20.0%) were alive having stopped, 716 (12.4%) were dead and 51 (0.9%) were lost to follow-up. Mortality was higher among those coded as receiving acute dialysis on day 1 (HR 4.88, P < 0.001). The sub-HR for recovery among those coded as receiving acute compared with chronic dialysis was 56.14 (P < 0.001).
Conclusions
Death and recovery rates are substantially higher than reported in conventional incident populations. This work highlights a vulnerable subgroup of patients largely overlooked by most national quality assurance systems.

Abstract
The overuse of cisplatin (>50 mg/m2) is limited to nephrotoxicity, ototoxicity, gastrotoxicity, myelosuppression, and allergic reactions. The objective of this study was to investigate the nephroprotective effects of Daucus carota and Eclipta prostrata extracts on cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in Wistar albino rats. The study involved male Wistar albino rats of 8 weeks weighing 220-270 g. A single injection of 5 mg/kg was injected into the rats for nephrotoxicity. Rats were divided into four groups based on dose conentrations. Blood and urine samples of rats were collected on the 0, 7th, 14th, and 21st days for nephrological analysis. The results showed that Cis + DC/Cis + EP (600 mg/kg) significantly (p < 0.001) increased the body weight and reduced the kidney weight of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats (p < 0.001) as compared to Cis group. The results showed that 600 mg/kg administration of Cis + DC/Cis +EP successfully (p < 0.005) improved the urine and plasmin creatinine, Na, and K level compared to the Cis group. Histopathological results confirmed that Cis + EP/Cis + DC effectively improved the renal abnormalities. It is concluded that the co-administration of Cis + EP extract showed exceptional nephroprotective effects at a dose rate of 600 mg/kg.

Abstract
The need for innovation in medical device technology is immense; especially to replace the dialysis techniques the necessity is extremely high. The available techniques that promised to replace dialysis have not yet geared up to the marketization level. The utilization of live kidney cells makes these devices costly, delicate, and unreliable. This paper aims to design a bioreactor to mimic the reabsorption function of the kidney that is fully artificial and highly controllable, which can be one step forward to the emerging Kidney-on-Chip (KOC) technology. The additional benefit of the proposed design is that it utilizes size-dependent reabsorption along with charge-dependent reabsorption phenomena to make it more compatible with human kidney function. The electrophoresis (EP), and di-electrophoresis (DEP) techniques are utilized to mimic the reabsorption function in this report. The structure utilized in the present design exactly replicates the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) dimensions and functions as well. The whole setup is implemented in the COMSOL Multiphysics FEM benchmark tool for simulation, and analysis with appropriate boundary conditions. The device when excited by an electric field, Electrophoresis has produced a maximum velocity of 1.07 m/s for DC excitation and di-electrophoresis has produced a maximum flow velocity of 1.23 m/s, where both the offset voltages are the same (0.7 V). The flow velocity obtained utilizing both EP and DEP produced a reabsorption rate of 50-58% depending on the voltage applied and dimensions considered which is close to 60% reabsorption rate of the normal human kidney PCT. In accordance with the outcomes produced, the di-electrophoresis technique proved to be more efficient in realizing bioreactor as compared to electrophoresis. The novelty of the present work lies in the creation of a simulation environment, rigorous analysis, and optimization of the bioreactor supported by compact mathematical model.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES About 30% of patients with AKI may require ongoing dialysis in the outpatient setting after hospital discharge. A 2017 Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services policy change allows Medicare beneficiaries with AKI requiring dialysis to receive outpatient treatment in dialysis facilities. Outcomes for these patients have not been reported. We compare patient characteristics and mortality among patients with AKI requiring dialysis and patients without AKI requiring incident dialysis. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS We used a retrospective cohort design with 2017 Medicare claims to follow outpatients with AKI requiring dialysis and patients without AKI requiring incident dialysis up to 365 days. Outcomes are unadjusted and adjusted mortality using Kaplan-Meier estimation for unadjusted survival probability, Poisson regression for monthly mortality, and Cox proportional hazards modeling for adjusted mortality. RESULTS In total, 10,821 of 401,973 (3%) Medicare patients requiring dialysis had at least one AKI claim, and 52,626 patients were Medicare patients without AKI requiring incident dialysis. Patients with AKI requiring dialysis were more likely to be White (76% versus 70%), non-Hispanic (92% versus 87%), and age 60 or older (82% versus 72%) compared with patients without AKI requiring incident dialysis. Unadjusted mortality was markedly higher for patients with AKI requiring dialysis compared with patients without AKI requiring incident dialysis. Adjusted mortality differences between both cohorts persisted through month 4 of the follow-up period (all P=0.01), then, they declined and were no longer statistically significant. Adjusted monthly mortality stratified by Black and other race between patients with AKI requiring dialysis and patients without AKI requiring incident dialysis was lower throughout month 4 (1.5 versus 0.60, 1.20 versus 0.84, 1.00 versus 0.80, and 0.95 versus 0.74; all P<0.001), which persisted through month 7. Overall adjusted mortality risk was 22% higher for patients with AKI requiring dialysis (1.22; 95% confidence interval, 1.17 to 1.27). CONCLUSIONS In fully adjusted analyses, patients with AKI requiring dialysis had higher early mortality compared with patients without AKI requiring incident dialysis, but these differences declined after several months. Differences were also observed by age, race, and ethnicity within both patient cohorts.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common clinical syndrome characterized by rapid impairment of kidney function. The incidence of AKI and its severe form AKI requiring dialysis (AKI-D) has been increasing over the years. AKI etiology may be multifactorial and is substantially associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The outcome of AKI-D can vary from partial or complete recovery to transitioning to chronic kidney disease, end stage kidney disease, or even death. Predicting outcomes of patients with AKI is crucial as it may allow clinicians to guide policy regarding adequate management of this problem and offer the best long-term options to their patients in advance. In this manuscript, we will review the current evidence regarding the determinants of AKI outcomes, focusing on AKI-D.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease are common interconnected syndromes that represent a public health problem. Acute kidney disease (AKD) is defined as the post-AKI status of acute or subacute kidney damage/dysfunction manifested by persistence of AKI beyond 7 to 90 days after the initial AKI diagnosis. Limited clinical data exist regarding AKD epidemiology but its incidence is observed in ∼25% of AKI survivors. Useful risk-stratification tools to predict risk of AKD and its prognosis are needed. Interventions on fluid management, nephrotoxic exposure, and follow-up care hold promise to ameliorate the burden of AKD and its complications.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of critical illness and is associated with adverse short- and long-term health consequences. Survivors of critical illness and AKI experience poor kidney, cardiovascular and quality of life outcomes, along with increased mortality. Yet, many patients surviving AKI are unaware that there is a problem with their kidney health, and post-AKI nephrology follow-up occurs at very low rates. Although there is a paucity of evidence-based studies to guide post-AKI care, attention to risk factors such as hypertension and albuminuria are requisite. There are several ongoing or planned studies which are expected to help inform specific management in the future. Until then, a multidisciplinary approach is warranted to address areas such as quality of life, physical rehabilitation, dietary modifications, and medication reconciliation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Acute kidney injury is very common in hospitalized patients and carries a significant risk of mortality. Although timely intervention may improve patient prognosis, studies on the development of acute kidney disease in patients with acute kidney injury remain scarce. Thus, we constructed a prediction model to identify patients likely to develop acute kidney disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS Among 474 patients screened for eligibility, 261 were enrolled and randomly divided into training (185 patients) and independent validation cohorts (76 patients). Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to select features and build a nomogram incorporating the selected predictors: diabetes, anemia, oliguria, and peak creatinine. Calibration, discrimination, and the clinical usefulness of the model were assessed using calibration plots, the C-index, receiver operating characteristic curves, and decision curve analysis. RESULTS Diabetes was significantly associated with the presence of AKD. Peak creatinine, oliguria, and anemia also contributed to the progression of acute kidney injury. The model displayed good predictive power with a C-index of 0.834 and an AUC of 0.834 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.773-0.895) in the training cohort and a C-index of 0.851 and an AUC of 0.851 (95% CI: 0.753-0.949) in the validation cohort. The calibration curves also showed that the model had a medium ability to predict acute kidney disease risk. Decision curve analysis showed that the nomogram was clinically useful when interventions were decided at the possibility threshold of 22%. CONCLUSION This novel prediction nomogram may allow for convenient prediction of acute kidney disease in patients with acute kidney injury, which may help to improve outcomes.

Clinical and histopathological features of acute kidney injury in adult-onset minimal change nephrotic syndrome. Clin Exp Nephrol 2020; 25:261-269. [PMID: 33247826 DOI: 10.1007/s10157-020-01992-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2020] [Accepted: 11/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS), particularly in adults. To predict development of AKI, as defined by the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes classification, we investigated clinical and histopathological features of adult-onset MCNS patients. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted with biopsy-proven adult-onset MCNS patients treated with corticosteroids. RESULTS A total of 58 MCNS patients [49 (24-71) years old, 38 males] were diagnosed using kidney biopsy findings from 2005 to 2018 at Osaka City University Hospital, of whom 24 (41.4%) were found to be complicated with AKI. Age, urinary protein, increased body weight (difference from admission to discharge), and histopathological scores were significantly greater in patients with as compared to without AKI, while urinary protein, increased body weight, and interstitial edema score were significantly associated with AKI development [OR 1.55 (95% CI 1.04-2.31), 1.37 (95% CI 1.03-1.81), 20.7 (95% CI 1.76-243), respectively]. Of the 24 MCNS patients with AKI, 10 underwent transient hemodialysis treatment. Although histopathological features were not different, the time interval between disease onset and kidney biopsy was significantly longer for MCNS patients complicated with AKI requiring hemodialysis as compared to those for whom that was not required [32 (24-46) vs. 13 (10-23) days, p = 0.034]. CONCLUSION These results indicate that urinary protein, increased body weight, and interstitial edema score are important information for predicting development of AKI in adult-onset MCNS patients.

Abstract
Background. Acute kidney injury (AKI) has long been recognized as a common and important complication of acute pancreatitis (AP). In the study, machine learning (ML) techniques were used to establish predictive models for AKI in AP patients during hospitalization. This is a retrospective review of prospectively collected data of AP patients admitted within one week after the onset of abdominal pain to our department from January 2014 to January 2019. Eighty patients developed AKI after admission (AKI group) and 254 patients did not (non-AKI group) in the hospital. With the provision of additional information such as demographic characteristics or laboratory data, support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), classification and regression tree (CART), and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) were used to build models of AKI prediction and compared to the predictive performance of the classic model using logistic regression (LR). XGBoost performed best in predicting AKI with an AUC of 91.93% among the machine learning models. The AUC of logistic regression analysis was 87.28%. Present findings suggest that compared to the classical logistic regression model, machine learning models using features that can be easily obtained at admission had a better performance in predicting AKI in the AP patients.
