Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium increases during acute kidney injury (AKI) recovery. Both hypernatremia and positive fluid balances are associated with increased mortality. We aimed to evaluate the association between daily fluid balance and daily plasma sodium during the recovery from AKI among critical patients. METHODS Adult patients with AKI were enrolled in four ICUs and followed up for four days or until ICU discharge or hemodialysis initiation. Day zero was the peak day of creatinine. The primary outcome was daily plasma sodium; the main exposure was daily fluid balance. RESULTS 93 patients were included. The median age was 66 years; 68% were male. Plasma sodium increased in 79 patients (85%), and 52% presented hypernatremia. We found no effect of daily fluid balance on plasma sodium (β -0.26, IC95%: -0.63-0.13; p = 0.19). A higher total sodium variation was observed in patients with lower initial plasma sodium (β -0.40, IC95%: -0.53 to -0.27; p < 0.01), higher initial urea (β 0.07, IC95%: 0.04-0.01; p < 0.01), and higher net sodium balance (β 0.002, IC95%: 0.0001-0.01; p = 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The increase in plasma sodium is common during AKI recovery and can only partially be attributed to the water and electrolyte balances. The incidence of hypernatremia in this population of patients is higher than in the general critically ill patient population.

Catabolism highly influences ICU-acquired hypernatremia in a mainly trauma and surgical cohort. J Crit Care 2023; 76:154282. [PMID: 36857855 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcrc.2023.154282] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2022] [Revised: 01/30/2023] [Accepted: 02/20/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To further analyse causes and effects of ICU-acquired hypernatremia. METHODS This retrospective, single-centre study, analysed 994 patients regarding ICU-acquired hypernatremia. Non-hypernatremic patients (n = 617) were compared to early-hypernatremic (only before ICU-day 4; n = 87), prolonged-hypernatremic (before and after ICU-day 4; n = 169) and late-hypernatremic patients (only after ICU-day 4; n = 121). Trends in glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urea-to-creatinine ratio (UCR), fraction of urea in total urine osmolality and urine sodium were compared. Risk factors for i) the development of hypernatremia and ii) mortality were determined. RESULTS Thirty-eight percent (n = 377) developed ICU-acquired hypernatremia. Specifically in the prolonged- and late-group, decreased eGFRs and urine sodium but increased UCR and fractions of urea in urine osmolality were present. Decreased eGFR was a risk factor for the development of hypernatremia in all groups; disease severity and increased catabolism particularly in the prolonged- and late-hypernatremic group. Increased age, SAPS-III and signs of catabolism but not the development of hypernatremia itself was identified as significant risk factor for mortality. CONCLUSIONS Late- and prolonged-hypernatremia is highly related to an increased protein metabolism. Besides excessive catabolism, initial disease severity and a decrease in renal function must be considered when confronted with ICU-acquired hypernatremia.

Development and Validation of a Nomogram Incorporating Colloid Osmotic Pressure for Predicting Mortality in Critically Ill Neurological Patients. Front Med (Lausanne) 2022; 8:765818. [PMID: 35004737 PMCID: PMC8740271 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2021.765818] [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: 08/27/2021] [Accepted: 12/13/2021] [Indexed: 01/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Backgrounds: The plasma colloid osmotic pressure (COP) values for predicting mortality are not well-estimated. A user-friendly nomogram could predict mortality by incorporating clinical factors and scoring systems to facilitate physicians modify decision-making when caring for patients with serious neurological conditions. Methods: Patients were prospectively recruited from March 2017 to September 2018 from a tertiary hospital to establish the development cohort for the internal test of the nomogram, while patients recruited from October 2018 to June 2019 from another tertiary hospital prospectively constituted the validation cohort for the external validation of the nomogram. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed in the development cohort using a backward stepwise method to determine the best-fit model for the nomogram. The nomogram was subsequently validated in an independent external validation cohort for discrimination and calibration. A decision-curve analysis was also performed to evaluate the net benefit of the insertion decision using the nomogram. Results: A total of 280 patients were enrolled in the development cohort, of whom 42 (15.0%) died, whereas 237 patients were enrolled in the validation cohort, of which 43 (18.1%) died. COP, neurological pathogenesis and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score were predictors in the prediction nomogram. The derived cohort demonstrated good discriminative ability, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.895 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.840–0.951], showing good correction ability. The application of this nomogram to the validation cohort also provided good discrimination, with an AUC of 0.934 (95% CI, 0.892–0.976) and good calibration. The decision-curve analysis of this nomogram showed a better net benefit. Conclusions : A prediction nomogram incorporating COP, neurological pathogenesis and APACHE II score could be convenient in predicting mortality for critically ill neurological patients.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Background:
Systematic estimation of renal biomarkers in the intensive care unit (ICU) patients is lacking. Seventeen biomarkers were assessed to predict acute kidney injury (AKI) after admission to ICU.
Materials and methods:
A prospective, observational study was conducted in the general ICU of Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital. Seventeen serum or urine biomarkers were studied for their abilities alone or in combination for predicting AKI and severe AKI.
Results:
Of 1498 patients, 376 (25.1%) developed AKI. Serum cystatin C (CysC) showed the best performance for predicting both AKI (area under the receiver operator characteristic curve [AUC] = 0.785, mean square error [MSE] = 0.118) and severe AKI (AUC = 0.883, MSE = 0.06). Regarding biomarkers combinations, CysC plus N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase-to-creatinine ratio (NAG/Cr) was the best for predicting AKI (AUC = 0.856, MSE = 0.21). At the same time, CysC plus lactic acid (LAC) performed the best for predicting severe AKI (AUC = 0.907, MSE = 0.058). Regarding combinations of biomarkers and clinical markers, CysC plus Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score showed the best performance for predicting AKI (AUC = 0.868, MSE = 0.407). In contrast, CysC plus Multiple Organ Dysfunction Score (MODS) had the highest predictive ability for severe AKI (AUC = 0.912, MSE = 0.488).
Conclusion:
Apart from CysC, the combination of most clinically available biomarkers or clinical markers does not significantly improve the forecasting ability, and the cost–benefit ratio is not economical.

Abstract
PURPOSE To further elucidate the origin of early ICU-acquired hypernatraemia. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this retrospective single-centre study, polytrauma patients requiring ICU treatment were analysed. RESULTS Forty-eight (47.5%) of 101 included polytrauma patients developed hypernatraemia within the first 7 days on ICU. They were more severely ill as described by higher SAPS III, ISS, daily SOFA scores and initial norepinephrine requirements as well as longer requirements of mechanical ventilation and ICU treatment in general. The development of hypernatraemia was neither attributable to fluid- or sodium-balances nor renal impairment. Although lower in the hypernatraemic group from day 4 onwards, median creatinine clearances were sufficiently high throughout the observation period. However, in the hypernatraemic group, urine sodium and chloride concentrations prior to the evolvement of hypernatraemia (56 (27-87) mmol/l and 39 (23-77) mmol/l) were significantly decreased when compared to i) the time after developing hypernatraemia (94 (58-134) mmol/l and 78 (36-115) mmol/l; p < 0.001) and ii) the non-hypernatraemic group in general (101 (66-143) mmol/l and 75 (47-109) mmol/l; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Early ICU-acquired hypernatraemia is associated with injury severity and preceded by reduced renal sodium and chloride excretion in polytrauma patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To summarize recent evidence on prevalence, risk factors, significance, treatment, and prevention of electrolyte disorders in critically ill with a specific focus on disorders during the initiation of nutrition. RECENT FINDINGS Electrolyte disturbances appear to occur often during critical illness, and most of them seem to be associated with impaired outcome. However, a recent systematic review indicated insufficient evidence to answer clinically relevant questions regarding hypophosphatemia. Similar questions (which thresholds of serum levels are clinically relevant; how serum levels should be corrected and how do different correction regimens/approaches influence outcome) are not clearly answered also for other electrolytes. The most crucial feature of electrolyte disturbances related to feeding is refeeding syndrome. Recent evidence supports that additionally to the correction of electrolyte levels, a temporary restriction of calories (reducing the magnitude of this metabolic feature, including electrolyte shifts) may help to improve outcome. SUMMARY Diverse electrolyte disorders often occur in critically ill patients. Hypophosphatemia, hypokalemia, and hypomagnesemia that are encountered after initiation of feeding identify refeeding syndrome. Along with correction of electrolytes, reduction of caloric intake may improve the outcome of the refeeding syndrome.
