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.
