Abstract
Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a common complication after intravascular injection of iodinated contrast media, and it is associated with a prolonged in-hospital stay and unfavorable outcome. CI-AKI occurs in 5% to 20% among hospitalized patients. Its diagnosis relies on the increase in serum creatinine levels, which is a late biomarker of kidney injury. Novel and early serum and urinary biomarkers have been identified to detect kidney damage before the expected serum creatinine increase.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Kidney involvement is a common complication in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). No study so far has assessed the prevalence of kidney injury developing before the reduction in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in PHPT. The study was aimed at establishing the potential role of biomarkers of kidney injury in detecting subtle renal damage in patients with PHPT. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. PATIENTS A total of 69 postmenopausal patients with PHPT and 41 healthy age- and sex-matched subjects were studied. Exclusion criteria were as follows: GFR < 30 mL/min, chronic inflammatory disease, nephrotic syndrome, infection, malignancy, heart failure, recent exposure to iodinated contrast media or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. MEASUREMENTS We measured a panel of sensitive biomarkers of kidney injury in PHPT vs controls. RESULTS Mean FGF23 and Klotho were higher in PHPT (72 ± 48 and 811 ± 366 pg/mL, respectively) than controls (53 ± 23.5 and 668.6 ± 17; P < .02 and P < .05). Urine KIM-1/uCr was significantly higher in PHPT (1.4-6 ± 1.3-6 ) than controls (9.2-7 ± 7-7 ; P < .05); this was particularly evident in the CrCl 60-89 mL/min category (1.36 ± 97 vs 8.2-7 ± 3.6-7 ; P < .02). Mean values of urine NGAL/uCr were higher in PHPT with (n = 28) compared to those without kidney stones (n = 35; 1.8-5 ± 1.4-5 and 1-5 ± 8-6 ; P < .0001). We found significant positive associations between urine NGAL/uCr and Ca (R = .292, P < .02) and urine KIM1/uCr and PTH (R = .329, P < .01). CONCLUSIONS We propose the utilization of these molecules, particularly urine KIM-1/uCr and urine NGAL/uCr ratios for the assessment of subtle kidney injury in patients with PHPT. These molecules are elevated in tubular necrosis and have potential role in the development of kidney damage in PHPT, according to the severity of the disease.

Abstract
This study investigated changes in the concentrations of serum and urine neutrophil gelatinase lipocalin (NGAL), kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1), interleukin 18 (IL-18), and cystatin-C (Cys-C) induced by parenchymal and tubular damage following blunt kidney trauma, as well as their potential utility as biomarkers in the detection and follow-up of patients with suspected blunt renal trauma. Three-month-old male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 18) were divided into three groups (n = 6 in each): group 1: control group (no intervention); group 2: sham group (explorative surgery and exposure of the left kidneys); and group 3: trauma group (explorative surgery and induction of blunt renal trauma of the left kidneys). Serum and urine samples were collected before and 12-24, 36-48, and 60-72 hours later for NGAL, KIM-1, IL-18, and Cys-C measurements. In the trauma group, there was a statistically significant increase in post-operative NGAL, KIM-1, and IL-18 values after 12-24 h and 36-48 h, as compared with pre-operative values. There was also a statistically significant increase in post-operative serum and urine Cys-C values after 60-72 h, as compared with pre-operative values. NGAL, KIM-1, and IL-18 may represent novel non-invasive descriptive candidate biomarkers of early-stage tubular damage in children with renal trauma.

Abstract
Introduction Fever and elevated inflammatory markers have been used for diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis (APN) in infants with urinary tract infection (UTI). The aim of the study was to compare the usefulness of serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (sNGAL) with inflammatory markers for predicting APN in infants with UTI. Material and methods The prospective study included 46 infants with a first episode of UTI, divided into two groups (APN 23, lower UTI 23), according to the DMSA scan results. The following laboratory tests were performed: sNGAL, PCT, CRP, WBC, and ESR. Results Significantly elevated levels of sNGAL, PCT, CRP, and ESR were observed in infants with APN compared to those with lower UTI. Higher sNGAL, CRP, and ESR values, presence of fever, and longer duration of fever before antibiotic treatment were associated with APN [odds ratio (OR) 1.02, 1.27, 1.03, 13.46, 2.12, respectively]. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis showed better diagnostic profiles for sNGAL, PCT, and CRP than for ESR for predicting APN [area under the curve (AUC) 0.808, 0.819, 0.841, and 0.750, respectively]. The appropriate cut-off values of sNGAL, PCT and CRP were 100.8 ng/ml, 0.15 ng/ml, 5.3 mg/dl (all sensitivity and specificity 82.6%), and that of ESR was 40 mm/h (sensitivity 78.3%, specificity 60.9%). Conclusions sNGAL shows similar usefulness as PCT and CRP for predicting APN in infants with UTI, the diagnostic value of ESR is smaller, and WBC is not useful at all. The presence of fever and longer duration of fever are important predictors of APN in infants with UTI.

Abstract
Apoptosis is recognized as an important mechanism in contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). This study investigated the renal protective effect of cordyceps sinensis (CS) in a diabetic rat model of CIN and the mechanism of its effect. Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups, the control group, model group, probucol group, and CS group. We used a diabetic rat model of Iodixanol-induced CIN. Serum creatinine (Scr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), urinary kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels were measured to evaluate renal function. Total antioxidative ability (T-AOC), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and malonaldehyde (MDA) levels were assessed to discuss the effect of probucol and CS on oxidative stress. The pathologic changes in the kidney were observed by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining. Apoptosis was assessed by transmission electron microscopy and TUNEL staining. Caspase-3, Bax, Bcl2 and phospho-p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) protein expressions were assessed by Western blotting. The model group of rats showed significantly elevated levels of BUN, Scr, urinary KIM-1, NGAL, and parameters of oxidative stress (P<0.05). Both the probucol and CS groups demonstrated significantly lower Scr, BUN, and urinary KIM-1, NGAL levels compared to the model group (P<0.05), with no significant difference between these two groups. The probucol group and the CS group had significantly lower MDA and higher T-AOC, SOD than the model group after modeling (P<0.05). Caspase-3, Bax activation were effectively repressed while Bcl-2 expression was increased by probucol and CS pretreatment. Mechanistically, probucol and CS decreased the expression of JNK protein and increased the expression of ERK protein. CS can effectively reduce kidney damage caused by contrast medium. The underlying mechanism may be that CS accelerates the recovery of renal function and renal pathology by reducing local renal oxidative stress and influencing MAPK signal pathways.

Urinary Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin as a Predictor of Acute Kidney Injury, Severe Kidney Injury, and the Need for Renal Replacement Therapy in the Intensive Care Unit.

Abstract
Background Recent attempts were made to identify early indicators of acute kidney injury (AKI) in order to accelerate treatment and hopefully improve outcomes. This study aims to assess the value of urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) as a predictor of AKI, severe AKI, and the need for renal replacement therapy (RRT). Methods We conducted a prospective study and included adults admitted to our intensive care unit (ICU) at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH), between May 2012 and June 2013, who had at least 1 major risk factor for AKI. They were followed up throughout their hospital stay to identify which potential characteristics predicted any of the above 3 outcomes. We collected information on patients’ age and gender, the Acute Physiology And Chronic Health Evaluation, version II (APACHE II) score, the Sepsis-Related Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, serum creatinine and cystatin C levels, and uNGAL. We compared ICU patients who presented with any of the 3 outcomes with others who did not. Results We included 75 patients, and among those 21 developed AKI, 18 severe AKI, and 17 required RRT. Bivariate analysis revealed intergroup differences for almost all clinical variables (e.g., patients with AKI vs. patients without AKI); while multivariate analysis identified mean arterial pressure as the only predictor for AKI (p < 0.001) and the SOFA score (p = 0.04) as the only predictor for severe AKI. For RRT, day 1 maximum uNGAL was the stronger predictor (p < 0.001) when compared to admission diagnosis (p = 0.014). Day 1 and day 2 maximum uNGAL levels were good and excellent predictors for future RRT, but only fair to good predictors for AKI and severe AKI. Conclusions Maximum urine levels of uNGAL measured over the first and second 24 h of an ICU admission were highly accurate predictors of the future need for RRT, however less accurate at detecting early and severe AKI.

Effect of a single intravenous zoledronic acid administration on biomarkers of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with osteoporosis: a pilot study. Br J Clin Pharmacol 2017; 83:2266-2273. [PMID: 28543687 DOI: 10.1111/bcp.13332] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2016] [Revised: 03/14/2017] [Accepted: 05/13/2017] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS The pilot study was designed to evaluate the early effect of intravenous (i.v.) zoledronic acid (ZA) on renal function. METHODS Five mg i.v. ZA was administered to 23 patients with osteoporosis (17 women and 6 men, mean age 73 ± 7 SD years). Urinary NGAL, KIM-1, and MCP-1, plasma (p) MCP-1 and serum (s) IL-18, serum calcium (sCa), Creatinine clearance (CrCl), parathyroid hormone (PTH), plasma C-terminal FGF23 (pFGF23), serum (s) Klotho, calcium excretion (CaEx) and renal threshold phosphate concentration/GFR (TmPO4 /GFR) were assessed at baseline, 24 h and Day 30 after administration. RESULTS There was a significant decrease in sCa and CaEx at 24 h (-4.1 ± 2.8%, P < 0.01 and -28 ± 59%, P < 0.05, respectively) and Day 30 (-3.9 ± 4%, P < 0.001 and -26 ± 43%, P < 0.01) and a significant increase in PTH (79.8 ± 95.8%) at Day 30 (P < 0.001) compared to baseline. TmPO4 /GFR decreased significantly at 24 h and Day 30 (-8.6 ± 15.9%, P < 0.05 and -11.3 ± 13.5%, P < 0.001) compared to baseline. We observed no difference in the concentration of pFGF23, sKlotho and urinary AKI biomarkers at any time points. Mean levels of sIL-18 and pMCP-1 increased significantly at 24 h (44 ± 88%; P < 0.01 and 198 ± 237%; P < 0.001) and returned to baseline at Day 30. CONCLUSIONS Our pilot study suggests that there is no direct acute effect of ZA on kidney function. The increase in plasma MCP-1 and serum IL-18 concentration could be associated with the stimulation of immunity mechanisms occurring soon after the administration of the drug. Secondary hyperparathyroidism develops shortly after the infusion of ZA and is maintained even after 1 month.

Abstract
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a leading cause of hospital-acquired acute kidney injury (AKI) due to apoptosis induced in renal tubular cells. Our previous study demonstrated the novel N-acetylcysteine amide (NACA); the amide form of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) prevented renal tubular cells from contrast-induced apoptosis through inhibiting p38 MAPK pathway in vitro. In the present study, we aimed to compare the efficacies of NACA and NAC in preventing CIN in a well-established rat model and investigate whether thioredoxin-1 (Trx1) and apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) act as the potential activator for p38 MAPK. NACA significantly attenuated elevations of serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and biomarkers of AKI. At equimolar concentration, NACA was more effective than NAC in reducing histological changes of renal tubular injuries. NACA attenuated activation of p38 MAPK signal, reduced oxidative stress, and diminished apoptosis. Furthermore, we demonstrated that contrast exposure resulted in Trx1 downregulation and increased ASK1/p38 MAPK phosphorylation, which could be reversed by NACA and NAC. To our knowledge, this is the first report that Trx1 and ASK1 are involved in CIN. Our study highlights a renal protective role of NACA against CIN through modulating Trx1 and ASK1/p38 MAPK pathway to result in the inhibition of apoptosis among renal cells.
