Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with persistent renal dysfunction, the receipt of dialysis, dialysis dependence, and mortality. Accordingly, the concept of major adverse kidney events (MAKE) has been adopted as an endpoint for assessing the impact of AKI. However, applied criteria or observation periods for operationalizing MAKE appear to vary across studies. To evaluate this heterogeneity for MAKE evaluation, we performed a systematic scoping review of studies that employed MAKE as an AKI endpoint. Four major academic databases were searched, and we identified 122 studies with increasing numbers over time. We found marked heterogeneity in applied criteria and observation periods for MAKE across these studies, with some even lacking a description of criteria. Moreover, 13 different observation periods were employed, with 30 days and 90 days as the most common. Persistent renal dysfunction was evaluated by estimated glomerular filtration rate (34%) or serum creatinine concentration (48%); however, 37 different definitions for this component were employed in terms of parameters, cut-off criteria, and assessment periods. The definition for the dialysis component also showed significant heterogeneity regarding assessment periods and duration of dialysis requirement (chronic vs temporary). Finally, MAKE rates could vary by 7% [interquartile range: 1.7-16.7%] with different observation periods or by 36.4% with different dialysis component definitions. Our findings revealed marked heterogeneity in MAKE definitions, particularly regarding component assessment and observation periods. Dedicated discussion is needed to establish uniform and acceptable standards to operationalize MAKE in terms of selection and applied criteria of components, observation period, and reporting criteria for future trials on AKI and related conditions.

Hepcidin, in contrast to heparin binding protein, does not portend acute kidney injury in patients with community acquired septic shock. PLoS One 2024; 19:e0299257. [PMID: 38696394 PMCID: PMC11065221 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0299257] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2023] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/04/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and severe complication in patients treated at an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The pathogenesis of AKI has been reported to involve hypoperfusion, diminished oxygenation, systemic inflammation, and damage by increased intracellular iron concentration. Hepcidin, a regulator of iron metabolism, has been shown to be associated with sepsis and septic shock, conditions that can result in AKI. Heparin binding protein (HBP) has been reported to be associated with sepsis and AKI. The aim of the present study was to compare serum hepcidin and heparin binding protein (HBP) levels in relation to AKI in patients admitted to the ICU. METHODS One hundred and forty patients with community acquired illness admitted to the ICU within 24 hours after first arrival to the hospital were included in the study. Eighty five of these patients were diagnosed with sepsis and 55 with other severe non-septic conditions. Logistic and linear regression models were created to evaluate possible correlations between circulating hepcidin and heparin-binding protein (HBP), stage 2-3 AKI, peak serum creatinine levels, and the need for renal replacement therapy (RRT). RESULTS During the 7-day study period, 52% of the 85 sepsis and 33% of the 55 non-sepsis patients had been diagnosed with AKI stage 2-3 already at inclusion. The need for RRT was 20% and 15%, respectively, in the groups. Hepcidin levels at admission were significantly higher in the sepsis group compared to the non-sepsis group but these levels did not significantly correlate to the development of stage 2-3 AKI in the sepsis group (p = 0.189) nor in the non-sepsis group (p = 0.910). No significant correlation between hepcidin and peak creatinine levels, nor with the need for RRT was observed. Stage 2-3 AKI correlated, as expected, significantly with HBP levels at admission in both groups (Odds Ratio 1.008 (CI 1.003-1.014, p = 0.005), the need for RRT, as well as with peak creatinine in septic patients. CONCLUSION Initial serum hepcidin, and HBP levels in patients admitted to the ICU are biomarkers for septic shock but in contrast to HBP, hepcidin does not portend progression of disease into AKI or a later need for RRT. Since hepcidin is a key regulator of iron metabolism our present data do not support a decisive role of initial iron levels in the progression of septic shock into AKI.

Abstract
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a novel kidney injury and inflammation biomarker. We investigated whether NGAL could be used to predict continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and mortality in critical coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This prospective multicenter cohort study included adult COVID-19 patients in six intensive care units (ICUs) in Sweden between May 11, 2020 and May 10, 2021. Blood was sampled at admission, days two and seven in the ICU. The samples were batch analyzed for NGAL, creatinine, and cystatin c after the end of the study period. Initiation of CRRT and 90-day survival were used as dependent variables in regression models. Of 498 included patients, 494 were analyzed regarding CRRT and 399 were analyzed regarding survival. Seventy patients received CRRT and 154 patients did not survive past 90 days. NGAL, in combination with creatinine and cystatin c, predicted the subsequent initiation of CRRT with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.95. For mortality, NGAL, in combination with age and sex, had an AUC of 0.83. In conclusion, NGAL is a valuable biomarker for predicting subsequent initiation of CRRT and 90-day mortality in critical COVID-19. NGAL should be considered when developing future clinical scoring systems.

Abstract
Mycotoxin ochratoxin A (OTA) is a critical food safety concern due to its nephron-toxic effects and is detected in a wide range of food and feedstuffs. OTA nephrotoxicity is related to oxidative stress and damage. However, the mediator(s) of the excessive oxidative stress is unclear. The current study used human kidney cell lines to investigate whether and how intracellular iron contributed to OTA-induced ROS accumulation and how OTA-induced iron-dependent ferroptotic cell death. Our results showed that OTA treatment affected the cell viability and induced the typical characteristics of cell ferroptosis. Furthermore, gene and protein expression results indicated that OTA disrupted iron homeostasis by upregulating the expression levels of iron importer TFR1 and FTH, while downregulating the expression level of iron exporter FPN and dramatically increasing its negative regulator Hepcidin. The changes were consistent with the induction of intracellular iron accumulation and elevated levels of oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. Additionally, co-treatment with OTA and an iron chelator significantly improved cell viability, reduced cellular total iron and ROS, and reversed OTA-induced changes in iron metabolism gene expression levels. Interestingly, the addition of a ROS scavenger also reversed cell death and changes in mRNA and protein expression levels of iron metabolism genes but to a lesser degree than that of the iron-chelating agent. Our results revealed that OTA induced ferroptosis in renal cells by disrupting iron homeostasis and increasing ROS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Serum N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and cystatin C (sCysC) are available clinically and beneficial in diagnosing acute kidney injury (AKI). Our purpose is to identify the performance of their combined diagnosis for AKI in critically ill patients. DESIGN A prospectively recruited, observational study was performed. SETTING Adults admitted to the intensive care unit of a tertiary hospital in China. PARTICIPANTS A total of 1222 critically ill patients were enrolled in the study. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES To identify the performance of the combined diagnosis of serum NT-proBNP and sCysC for AKI in critically ill patients. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC), category-free net reclassification index (NRI) and incremental discrimination improvement (IDI) were utilised for comparing the discriminative powers of a combined and single biomarker adjusted model of clinical variables enriched with NT-proBNP and sCysC for AKI. RESULTS AKI was detected in 256 out of 1222 included patients (20.9%). AUC-ROC for NT-proBNP and sCysC to detect AKI had a significantly higher accuracy than any individual biomarker (p<0.05). After multivariate adjustment, a level of serum NT-proBNP ≥204 pg/mL was associated with 3.5-fold higher odds for AKI compared with those below the cut-off value. Similar results were obtained for sCysC levels (p<0.001). To detect AKI, adding NT-proBNP and sCysC to a clinical model further increased the AUC-ROC to 0.859 beyond that of the clinical model with or without sCysC (p<0.05). Moreover, the addition of these two to the clinical model significantly improved risk reclassification of AKI beyond that of the clinical model alone or with single biomarker (p<0.05), as measured by NRI and IDI. CONCLUSIONS In critically ill individuals, serum NT-proBNP, sCysC and clinical risk factors combination improve the discriminative power for diagnosing AKI.

Abstract
Enhanced Recovery After Cardiac Surgery (ERACS) is a multidisciplinary and multiprofessional treatment approach in cardiac surgery. Recently, a transfer and adaptation of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols from other disciplines, such as colorectal surgery, to cardiac surgery has been performed in different settings. First, prehabilitation programs have been established and investigated to improve patients' physical, psychological and nutritional status including treatment of preoperative anemia. Second, intraoperative therapeutic steps are described, such as infection reduction bundles, rigid sternal closure and guidance of perioperative anesthesia. For this, the use of short-acting agents, goal-directed fluid management and multimodal anesthesia are among the important measures. Third, early recovery and restoration of patient autonomy are achieved with early extubation and mobilization, efficient postoperative analgesia and diagnosis and treatment of delirium.The introduction of an ERACS protocol is a team effort requiring a protocol adapted to the institutional conditions and a willingness to perform a shift of culture in perioperative care. So far, the successful establishment of ERACS protocols in minimally invasive cardiac surgery has been reported and encourages the development of protocols of specific patient groups, such as pediatric cardiac surgery or left ventricular assist device implantation.

Abstract
Aim: To assess the predictive ability of urinary and plasma biomarkers and clinical routine parameters for subsequent severe fluid overload. Patients & methods: In a pilot study, we studied 100 adult patients after cardiac surgery. On intensive care unit admission, we measured biomarkers in urine (midkine, IL-6, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin [NGAL], hepcidin-25) and plasma (creatinine, urea, B-type natriuretic peptide, lactate, C-reactive protein, leukocytes, IL-6, NGAL, hepcidin-25) to predict postoperative severe fluid overload. Results: Urinary midkine, IL-6, NGAL and hepcidin-25 (all AUCs ≥0.79) predicted postoperative severe fluid overload (n = 5 patients). Urinary NGAL/hepcidin-25 ratio (AUC 0.867) predicted postoperative severe fluid overload after adjustment to EuroScore and need for norepinephrine on surgery day (odds ratio: 2.4). Conclusion: Urinary biomarkers on intensive care unit admission might be helpful to predict subsequent severe fluid overload after cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Background Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and hepcidin-25 are involved in catalytic iron-related kidney injury after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. We explored the predictive value of plasma NGAL, plasma hepcidin-25, and the plasma NGAL:hepcidin-25 ratio for major adverse kidney events (MAKE) after cardiac surgery. Methods We compared the predictive value of plasma NGAL, hepcidin-25, and plasma NGAL:hepcidin-25 with that of serum creatinine (Cr) and urinary output and protein for primary-endpoint MAKE (acute kidney injury [AKI] stages 2 and 3, persistent AKI >48 hours, acute dialysis, and in-hospital mortality) and secondary-endpoint AKI in 100 cardiac surgery patients at intensive care unit (ICU) admission. We performed ROC curve, logistic regression, and reclassification analyses. Results At ICU admission, plasma NGAL, plasma NGAL:hepcidin-25, plasma interleukin-6, and Cr predicted MAKE (area under the ROC curve [AUC]: 0.77, 0.79, 0.74, and 0.74, respectively) and AKI (0.73, 0.89, 0.70, and 0.69). For AKI prediction, plasma NGAL:hepcidin-25 had a higher discriminatory power than Cr (AUC difference 0.26 [95% CI 0.00-0.53]). Urinary output and protein, plasma lactate, C-reactive protein, creatine kinase myocardial band, and brain natriuretic peptide did not predict MAKE or AKI (AUC <0.70). Only plasma NGAL:hepcidin-25 correctly reclassified patients according to their MAKE and AKI status (category-free net reclassification improvement: 0.82 [95% CI 0.12-1.52], 1.03 [0.29-1.77]). After adjustment to the Cleveland risk score, plasma NGAL:hepcidin-25 ≥0.9 independently predicted MAKE (adjusted odds ratio 16.34 [95% CI 1.77-150.49], P=0.014). Conclusions Plasma NGAL:hepcidin-25 is a promising marker for predicting postoperative MAKE.

Serum 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic Acid and Ratio of 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic Acid to Serotonin as Metabolomics Indicators for Acute Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Vancomycin-Associated Acute Kidney Injury. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:antiox10060895. [PMID: 34199555 PMCID: PMC8228749 DOI: 10.3390/antiox10060895] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2021] [Revised: 05/27/2021] [Accepted: 05/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
The incidence of vancomycin-associated acute kidney injury (VAKI) varies from 5–43%, and early detection of VAKI is important in deciding whether to discontinue nephrotoxic agents. Oxidative stress is the main mechanism of VAKI, and serotonin (5-HT) and its metabolite 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) have been examined with respect to their involvement in ischemia/reperfusion damage in experimental animal models. In the current study, we assessed 5-HT and 5-HIAA as novel biomarkers for detecting VAKI in patients who have infections or compromised renal function, using a mass spectrometry–based metabolomics approach. We conducted amino acid profiling analysis and measurements of 5-HT and 5-HIAA using serum from subjects with VAKI (n = 28) and non-VAKI control subjects (n = 69), consisting of the infection subgroup (n = 23), CKD subgroup (n = 23), and healthy controls (HCs, n = 23). 5-HT was significantly lower in the VAKI group than in the non-VAKI groups, and the concentration of 5-HIAA and the ratio of 5-HIAA to 5-HT (5-HIAA/5-HT) showed higher values in the VAKI group. The infection subgroup presented a significantly greater 5-HIAA/5-HT ratio compared with the HC subgroup. Our study revealed that increased 5-HIAA/5-HT ratio has the potential to act as a VAKI surrogate marker, reflecting acute oxidative stress and inflammation.

Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) subtypes combining kidney functional parameters and injury biomarkers may have prognostic value. We aimed to determine whether neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL)/hepcidin-25 ratio (urinary concentrations of NGAL divided by that of hepcidin-25) defined subtypes are of prognostic relevance in cardiac surgery patients. Methods We studied 198 higher-risk cardiac surgery patients. We allocated patients to four groups: Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO)-AKI-negative and NGAL/hepcidin-25 ratio-negative (no AKI), KDIGO AKI-negative and NGAL/hepcidin-25 ratio-positive (subclinical AKI), KDIGO AKI-positive and NGAL/hepcidin-25 ratio-negative (clinical AKI), KDIGO AKI-positive and NGAL/hepcidin-25 ratio-positive (combined AKI). Outcomes included in-hospital mortality (primary) and long-term mortality (secondary). Results We identified 127 (61.6%) patients with no AKI, 13 (6.6%) with subclinical, 40 (20.2%) with clinical and 18 (9.1%) with combined AKI. Subclinical AKI patients had a 23-fold greater in-hospital mortality than no AKI patients. For combined AKI vs. no AKI or clinical AKI, findings were stronger (odds ratios (ORs): 126 and 39, respectively). After adjusting for EuroScore, volume of intraoperative packed red blood cells, and aortic cross-clamp time, subclinical and combined AKI remained associated with greater in-hospital mortality than no AKI and clinical AKI (adjusted ORs: 28.118, 95% CI 1.465–539.703; 3.737, 95% CI 1.746–7.998). Cox proportional hazard models found a significant association of biomarker-informed AKI subtypes with long-term survival compared with no AKI (adjusted ORs: pooled subclinical and clinical AKI: 1.885, 95% CI 1.003–3.542; combined AKI: 1.792, 95% CI 1.367–2.350). Conclusions In the presence or absence of KDIGO clinical criteria for AKI, the urinary NGAL/hepcidin-25-ratio appears to detect prognostically relevant AKI subtypes.

Abstract
Aortic stenosis with concomitant chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a clinical challenge. Aortic stenosis is more prevalent and progresses more rapidly and unpredictably in CKD, and the presence of CKD is associated with worse short-term and long-term outcomes after aortic valve replacement. Because patients with advanced CKD and end-stage kidney disease have been excluded from randomized trials, clinicians need to make complex management decisions in this population that are based on retrospective and observational evidence. This statement summarizes the epidemiological and pathophysiological characteristics of aortic stenosis in the context of CKD, evaluates the nuances and prognostic information provided by noninvasive cardiovascular imaging with echocardiography and advanced imaging techniques, and outlines the special risks in this population. Furthermore, this statement provides a critical review of the existing literature pertaining to clinical outcomes of surgical versus transcatheter aortic valve replacement in this high-risk population to help guide clinical decision making in the choice of aortic valve replacement and specific prosthesis. Finally, this statement provides an approach to the perioperative management of these patients, with special attention to a multidisciplinary heart-kidney collaborative team-based approach.

Abstract
Introduction: Human lipocalin-2, known as neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), is a widely studied biomarker of acute kidney injury (AKI).Areas covered: NGAL can serve as a predictor of AKI, disease progression, and mortality and can help in differentiating between AKI etiologies. We conducted a systematic review in the PubMed and Medline databases involving the clinical application of NGAL in patients with AKI.Expert opinion: In this review, we explored the usefulness of NGAL for AKI or clinical outcome prediction. The use of urine or blood NGAL levels alone or in combination with a clinical prediction model may facilitate AKI prediction, severity prediction, AKI etiological differentiation, and mortality prediction. For AKI prediction, urine and plasma NGAL levels have an area under the curve (AUC) ranging from 0.71 to 0.90 and from 0.71 to 0.89, respectively, in different populations. The diagnostic performance of NGAL alone for renal replacement therapy or successful discontinuation prediction is suboptimal (AUC range: 0.65-0.81). Sepsis limits the application of NGAL as a clinical predictor, and the prediction performance of NGAL is affected by baseline renal function, timing of sample collection, and underlying comorbidities. The lack of internationally approved reference material also limits the usefulness of NGAL.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a risk factor for the development of acute kidney injury (AKI). Recent studies have revealed numerous biomarkers eligible for AKI prediction. However, the expression and performance of AKI biomarkers in acute injury superimposed on preexisting CKD (AonC) remain elusive. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether biomarkers which robustly expressed in acute kidney injury could predict acute injury based on CKD. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mice were classified into cohorts: AKI, CKD, AonC and sham. The AonC model mice were subjected to renal bilateral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury fourteen days after intraperitoneally administrated with 20mg/kg aristolochic acid. Severity of acute ischemic injury was stratified by clamping the dissected bilateral renal arteries with non-traumatic microvascular clips for 20 or 35min. The AKI mice were induced with renal bilateral I/R injury and CKD mice were crafted with 20mg/kg aristolochic acid administrated intraperitoneally. Histology, genetic and protein expression of biomarkers were measured in three cohorts. RESULTS We found that serum creatinine dramatically increased in severe (sAonC) but not in moderate (mAonC) injury mice. Upregulation of Kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) mRNA, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2), Syndecan-1 (SDC-1) mRNA and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-7 (IGFBP7) protein indicated the onset of mAonC. An increase in neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), rhomboid-like protein 2 (RHBDL2), Syndecan-1 (SDC-1) mRNA and protein, and a decrease in IGFBP7 protein were associated with sAonC. CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed the variational expression of AKI biomarkers in AonC kidneys, and uncovered IGFBP7 protein can be used as a sensitive biomarker to predict and differentiate AonC severity. The performance of RHBDL2 and SDC-1 in predicting severe AonC was promising, providing new biomarkers for predicting AonC.

Abstract
Methods for standard meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy studies are well established and understood. For the more complex case in which studies report test accuracy across multiple thresholds, several approaches have recently been proposed. These are based on similar ideas, but make different assumptions. In this article, we apply four different approaches to data from a recent systematic review in the area of nephrology and compare the results. The four approaches use: a linear mixed effects model, a Bayesian multinomial random effects model, a time-to-event model and a nonparametric model, respectively. In the case study data, the accuracy of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin for the diagnosis of acute kidney injury was assessed in different scenarios, with sensitivity and specificity estimates available for three thresholds in each primary study. All approaches led to plausible and mostly similar summary results. However, we found considerable differences in results for some scenarios, for example, differences in the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of up to 0.13. The Bayesian approach tended to lead to the highest values of the AUC, and the nonparametric approach tended to produce the lowest values across the different scenarios. Though we recommend using these approaches, our findings motivate the need for a simulation study to explore optimal choice of method in various scenarios.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a useful biomarker for acute kidney injury (AKI) prediction. However, studies on whether using both plasma NGAL (PNGAL) and urine NGAL (UNGAL) can improve AKI prediction are limited. We investigated the best approach to predict AKI in high-risk patients when using PNGAL and UNGAL together. METHODS We enrolled 151 AKI suspected patients with one or more AKI risk factors. We assessed the diagnostic performance of PNGAL and UNGAL for predicting AKI according to chronic kidney disease (CKD) status by determining the areas under the receiver operating curve (AuROC). Independent predictors of AKI were assessed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. RESULTS In the multivariate logistic regression analysis for all patients (N=151), Model 2 and 3, including PNGAL (P=0.012) with initial serum creatinine (S-Cr), showed a better AKI prediction power (R2=0.435, both) than Model 0, including S-Cr only (R2=0.390). In the non-CKD group (N=135), the AuROC of PNGAL for AKI prediction was larger than that of UNGAL (0.79 vs 0.66, P=0.010), whereas in the CKD group (N=16), the opposite was true (0.94 vs 0.76, P=0.049). CONCLUSIONS PNGAL may serve as a useful biomarker for AKI prediction in high-risk patients. However, UNGAL predicted AKI better than PNGAL in CKD patients. Our findings provide guidance for selecting appropriate specimens for NGAL testing according to the presence of CKD in AKI high-risk patients.

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

Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE The usefulness of measures of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in urine or plasma obtained on clinical laboratory platforms for predicting acute kidney injury (AKI) and AKI requiring dialysis (AKI-D) has not been fully evaluated. We sought to quantitatively summarize published data to evaluate the value of urinary and plasma NGAL for kidney risk prediction. STUDY DESIGN Literature-based meta-analysis and individual-study-data meta-analysis of diagnostic studies following PRISMA-IPD guidelines. SETTING & STUDY POPULATIONS Studies of adults investigating AKI, severe AKI, and AKI-D in the setting of cardiac surgery, intensive care, or emergency department care using either urinary or plasma NGAL measured on clinical laboratory platforms. SELECTION CRITERIA FOR STUDIES PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and congress abstracts ever published through February 2020 reporting diagnostic test studies of NGAL measured on clinical laboratory platforms to predict AKI. DATA EXTRACTION Individual-study-data meta-analysis was accomplished by giving authors data specifications tailored to their studies and requesting standardized patient-level data analysis. ANALYTICAL APPROACH Individual-study-data meta-analysis used a bivariate time-to-event model for interval-censored data from which discriminative ability (AUC) was characterized. NGAL cutoff concentrations at 95% sensitivity, 95% specificity, and optimal sensitivity and specificity were also estimated. Models incorporated as confounders the clinical setting and use versus nonuse of urine output as a criterion for AKI. A literature-based meta-analysis was also performed for all published studies including those for which the authors were unable to provide individual-study data analyses. RESULTS We included 52 observational studies involving 13,040 patients. We analyzed 30 data sets for the individual-study-data meta-analysis. For AKI, severe AKI, and AKI-D, numbers of events were 837, 304, and 103 for analyses of urinary NGAL, respectively; these values were 705, 271, and 178 for analyses of plasma NGAL. Discriminative performance was similar in both meta-analyses. Individual-study-data meta-analysis AUCs for urinary NGAL were 0.75 (95% CI, 0.73-0.76) and 0.80 (95% CI, 0.79-0.81) for severe AKI and AKI-D, respectively; for plasma NGAL, the corresponding AUCs were 0.80 (95% CI, 0.79-0.81) and 0.86 (95% CI, 0.84-0.86). Cutoff concentrations at 95% specificity for urinary NGAL were>580ng/mL with 27% sensitivity for severe AKI and>589ng/mL with 24% sensitivity for AKI-D. Corresponding cutoffs for plasma NGAL were>364ng/mL with 44% sensitivity and>546ng/mL with 26% sensitivity, respectively. LIMITATIONS Practice variability in initiation of dialysis. Imperfect harmonization of data across studies. CONCLUSIONS Urinary and plasma NGAL concentrations may identify patients at high risk for AKI in clinical research and practice. The cutoff concentrations reported in this study require prospective evaluation.

Thirty-Eight-Negative Kinase 1 Is a Mediator of Acute Kidney Injury in Experimental and Clinical Traumatic Hemorrhagic Shock. Front Immunol 2020; 11:2081.

Abstract
Trauma represents a major socioeconomic burden worldwide. After a severe injury, hemorrhagic shock (HS) as a frequent concomitant aspect is a central driver of systemic inflammation and organ damage. The kidney is often strongly affected by traumatic-HS, and acute kidney injury (AKI) poses the patient at great risk for adverse outcome. Recently, thirty-eight-negative kinase 1 (TNK1) was proposed to play a detrimental role in organ damage after trauma/HS. Therefore, we aimed to assess the role of TNK1 in HS-induced kidney injury in a murine and a post hoc analysis of a non-human primate model of HS comparable to the clinical situation. Mice and non-human primates underwent resuscitated HS at 30 mmHg for 60 min. 5 h after the induction of shock, animals were assessed for systemic inflammation and TNK1 expression in the kidney. In vitro, murine distal convoluted tubule cells were stimulated with inflammatory mediators to gain mechanistic insights into the role of TNK1 in kidney dysfunction. In a translational approach, we investigated blood drawn from either healthy volunteers or severely injured patients at different time points after trauma (from arrival at the emergency room and at fixed time intervals until 10 days post injury; identifier: NCT02682550, https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02682550). A pronounced inflammatory response, as seen by increased IL-6 plasma levels as well as early signs of AKI, were observed in mice, non-human primates, and humans after trauma/HS. TNK1 was found in the plasma early after trauma-HS in trauma patients. Renal TNK1 expression was significantly increased in mice and non-human primates after HS, and these effects with concomitant induction of apoptosis were blocked by therapeutic inhibition of complement C3 activation in non-human primates. Mechanistically, in vitro data suggested that IL-6 rather than C3 cleavage products induced upregulation of TNK1 and impaired barrier function in renal epithelial cells. In conclusion, these data indicate that C3 inhibition in vivo may inhibit an excessive inflammatory response and mediator release, thereby indirectly neutralizing TNK1 as a potent driver of organ damage. In future studies, we will address the therapeutic potential of direct TNK1 inhibition in the context of severe tissue trauma with different degrees of additional HS.

Erythrocyte transfusion limits the role of elevated red cell distribution width on predicting cardiac surgery associated acute kidney injury. Cardiol J 2020; 28:255-261. [PMID: 32419126 DOI: 10.5603/cj.a2020.0070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2019] [Revised: 04/16/2020] [Accepted: 04/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the more serious complications after cardiac surgery. Elevated red cell distribution width (RDW) was reported as a predictor for cardiac surgery associated acute kidney injury (CSAKI). However, the increment of RDW by erythrocyte transfusion makes its prognostic role doubtful. The aim of this study is to elucidate the impact of erythrocyte transfusion on the prognostic role of elevated RDW for predicting CSAKI. METHODS A total of 3207 eligible patients who underwent cardiac surgery during 2016-2017 were enrolled. Changes of RDW was defined as the difference between preoperative RDW and RDW measured 24 h after cardiac surgery. The primary outcome was CSAKI which was defined by the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes Definition and Staging (KDIGO) criteria. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to identify predictors for CSAKI. RESULTS The incidence of CSAKI was 38.07% and the mortality was 1.18%. CSAKI patients had higher elevated RDW than those without CSAKI (0.65% vs. 0.39%, p < 0.001). Multivariate regression showed that male, age, New York Heat Association classification 3-4, elevated RDW, estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, cardiopulmonary bypass time > 120 min and erythrocyte transfusion were associated with CSAKI. Subgroup analysis showed elevated RDW was an independent predictor for CSAKI in the non-transfused subset (adjusted odds ratio: 1.616, p < 0.001) whereas no significant association between elevated RDW and CSAKI was found in the transfused patients (odds ratio: 1.040, p = 0.497). CONCLUSIONS Elevated RDW is one of the independent predictors of CSAKI in the absence of erythrocyte transfusion, which limits the prognostic role of the former on predicting CSAKI.
