Clinical Significance of Acute Kidney Injury in Patients Admitted for Worsening Chronic Heart Failure

Objective: To describe and analyze the clinical characteristics of acute kidney injury (AKI) patients with preexisting chronic heart failure (CHF) and to identify the prognostic factors of the 1-year outcome. Methods: A total of 120 patients with preexisting CHF who developed AKI between January 2005 and December 2010 were enrolled. CHF was diagnosed according to the European Society of Cardiology guidelines, and AKI was diagnosed using the RIFLE criteria. Clinical characteristics were recorded, and nonrecovery from kidney dysfunction as well as mortality were analyzed. Results: The median age of the patients was 70 years, and 58.33% were male. 60% of the patients had an advanced AKI stage (‘failure') and 90% were classified as NYHA class III/IV. The 1-year mortality rate was 35%. 25.83% of the patients progressed to end-stage renal disease after 1 year. Hypertension, anemia, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease and chronic kidney disease were common comorbidities. Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS; OR, 35.950; 95% CI, 4.972-259.952), arrhythmia (OR, 13.461; 95% CI, 2.379-76.161), anemia (OR, 6.176; 95% CI, 1.172-32.544) and RIFLE category (OR, 5.353; 95% CI, 1.436-19.952) were identified as risk factors of 1-year mortality. For 1-year nonrecovery from kidney dysfunction, MODS (OR, 8.884; 95% CI, 2.535-31.135) and acute heart failure (OR, 3.281; 95% CI, 1.026-10.491) were independent risk factors. Conclusion: AKI patients with preexisting CHF were mainly elderly patients who had an advanced AKI stage and NYHA classification. Their 1-year mortality and nonrecovery from kidney dysfunction rates were high. Identifying risk factors may help to improve their outcome.

Patients With Heart Failure

The combination of heart failure and renal failure is called cardiorenal syndrome. It is a stage of the cardiorenal continuum and, possibly, a small link of the cardiorenal-cerebral-metabolic axis. Despite the fact that the phrase “cardiorenal syndrome” and its five types have become a part of the medical lexicon, many aspects of this problem are still not clear. Cardiorenal syndrome can be diagnosed in 32-90.3% of patients with heart failure. Cardiorenal syndrome type 1 or 2 develops in most cases of heart failure: cardiorenal syndrome presents with the development ofchronic kidney disease in patients with chronic heart failure and acute kidney injury in patients with acute heart failure. Impaired renal function has an unfavorable prognostic value. It leads to an increase in the mortality of patients with heart failure. It is necessary to timely diagnose the presence of cardiorenal syndrome and take into account its presence when managing patients with heart failure. Further researches are needed on ways toprevent the development and prevent the progression of kidney damage in patients with heart failure, to which the efforts of the multidisciplinary team should be directed. The first part of this review examines the currently definition, classification, pathogenesis, epidemiology and prognosis of cardiorenal syndrome in patients with heart failure.

Relevance. Acute kidney injury in myocardial infarction worsens its prognosis, including due to the development of chronic heart failure. Moreover, most of the data was obtained for patients over 60 years old. Aim. To evaluate the features of the heart failure manifestations in men under 60 years old with myocardial infarction complicated by acute kidney injury to improve prevention and outcomes. Material and methods. The study included men 19-60 years old with type I myocardial infarction. The patients were divided into two age-comparable groups: I - study group, with acute kidney injury - 25 patients; II - control, without it - 486 patients. A comparative analysis of the heart failure main manifestations frequency in the first 48 hours (1) and at the end of the third week of the disease (2), their dynamics, analysis of their impact on the risk of chronic heart failure development in acute kidney injury (ANOVA) was performed. Results. The study group (4.0%) differed from the control (21.8%) in a lower frequency of acrocyanosis (p = 0.03) and liver enlargement (8.0 and 25.7%; respectively; p = 0.046) at the end of the eighth week diseases. The main risk markers of the chronic heart failure development in study group were: winter period of the year (absolute risk: 94.1%; relative - 3.76; p = 0.0003), respiratory infections 2-3 times a year (absolute risk: 81.8%; p = 0.003), left ventricular myocardial mass index1 ≥ 173.3 g/m2 (absolute risk: 100%; p = 0.008) and mean arterial pressure1 ≥ 120 mm Hg (absolute risk: 100%; relative - 1.88; p = 0.01). Conclusions. Men under 60 years old with acute kidney injury in myocardial infarction are characterized by a higher incidence of chronic heart failure. The listed above values of the different predictors should be used in the formation of the high-risk groups for the chronic heart failure in acute kidney injury development, as well as for prognostic modeling.

Relevance. The role of the coronary arteries angiographic changes severity in myocardial infarction complicated by acute kidney injury is assessed in different ways. Aim. To evaluate the features of the coronary arteries state in men under 60 years old with myocardial infarction complicated by acute kidney injury to improve prevention and outcomes. Material and methods. The study included men 19-60 years old with type I myocardial infarction. The patients were divided into two age-comparable groups: I - study group, with acute kidney injury - 25 patients; II - control, without it - 168 patients. A comparative assessment of coronary angiography indicators, also acute kidney injury and heart failure development risk analysis (ANOVA) were performed. Results. There were no differences in the compared groups in angiographic data, localization, depth of the lesion, and the frequency of the complicated course of the disease. The study group were characterized by akinesia in the middle anterior (in the studied% 100; control: 15.6%; p =0.02) and antero-septal (100 and 17.7%; respectively; p=0.04) segments , as well as the frequency of registration of chronic heart failure (72.0 and 43.2%; p=0.005) by the eighth week of myocardial infarction. Bypass surgery (absolute risk: 46.2%; relative - 4.37; p=0.0002) and unstable angina (absolute risk: 19.8%; relative - 2,46; p=0.02) in the medical history, as well as the presence of peripheral angiopathies (absolute risk: 18.9%; relative - 3.21; p=0.0008). Conclusions. Men under 60 years old with acute kidney injury in myocardial infarction were not differ in the number and extent of large coronary artery lesions from the general group. They are characterized by large in area and severity of dysfunction lesions of the anterior middle segments of the left ventricle with a higher frequency of chronic heart failure than in the general group. The anamnestic data listed above associated with coronary arteries is advisable to use in the formation of groups at high risk for the acute kidney injury development formation, as well as prognostic modeling.

Acute Decompensation

Actuality.Impaired kidney function adversely influences both immediate and remote prognosis for patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). However, early detection and prediction of acute kidney injury (AKI) are understudied.The aimof study was to investigate hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) as a biomarker for early diagnosis of AKI and determining prognosis in patients with acute decompensated CHF (ADCHF).Materials and methods:84 patients admitted for ADCHF (18 women; mean age, 61.4±7.1) were evaluated. ADCHF was diagnosed in accordance with SEHF guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of chronic heart failure (RCS, 2016). AKI was diagnosed according to KDIGO criteria (2012). HIF-1, N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NТ-proBNP), and erythropoietin were measured in blood serum. The follow-up period lasted for 12 months.Results:AKI was diagnosed in 27 (32.1 %) patients. Level of HIF-1 was 1.27±0.63 ng / ml; NТ-proBNP – 2469.6 (interquartile range (IQR), 1312.2; 3300.0) pg / ml; eryhthropoietin – 56.0 mIU / ml (IQR, 13.2; 68.1). No correlation was found between HIF-1 and glomerular filtration rate, NТ-proBNP, or erythropoietin. Differences in biomarker levels were not observed between patients with and without AKI; however, HIF-1 was higher in the group of deceased patients than in the group of survived patients (1.64±0.9 vs. 1.17±0.44 ng / ml, р=0.004), which was not observed for NТ-proBNP and erythropoietin.Conclusion.AKI was observed in every third patient with ADCHF. In ADCHF, HIF-1 was not correlated with the kidney function; however, a relationship was found between the HIF-1 level and prediction for patients with CHF.

Aim. To investigate the prognostic value of serum N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with acute decompensated chronic heart failure (ADCHF). Subjects and methods. Eighty-three patients (55 (66%) men and 28 (34%) women; mean age, 65±11 years) with ADCHF were examined. AKI was diagnosed and classified according to the 2012 Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes Clinical Practice guidelines. To rule out contrast-induced AKI, the investigation enrolled only patients in whom radiopague agents had not been injected 7 days before and during hospitalization. Enzyme immunoassay was used to determine serum NT-proBNP concentrations in all the patients upon hospital admission. Results. AKI was diagnosed in 18 (22%) patients, 13 (16%) had Stage I, 4 (5%) had Stage II, and 1 (1%) had Stage III. The serum concentration of NT-proBNP was significantly higher in patients with AKI than that in the other patients [1512.1 (981.0; 2246.2) and 861.8 (499.0; 1383.6) pg/ml (p=0.008). The rise in NT-proBNP concentrations of more than 942 pg/ml was established to be associated with a considerable increase in the risk of AKI (relative risk (RR) was 4.3; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.27—14.90; p=0.02). RОС analysis indicated that a NT-proBNP level of >942 pg/ml allows prediction of AKI with a sensitivity of 78% (52; 94) and a specificity of 55% (44; 69) (AUC=0.70; p=0.006). Four (5%) patients died in hospital. NT-proBNP levels in all the dead were greater than 942 pg/ml. Two of the 4 deceased patients had AKI. Conclusion. A high level of NT-proBNP in a patient with ADCHF during hospitalization can serve as a biomarker for high risk of AKI and for high mortality rates.

Circulation Parameters

Relevance. Hemodynamics changes of the pulmonary circulation in myocardial infarction complicated by acute kidney injury are not well understood. Aim. To evaluate the characteristics of pulmonary circulation in men under 60 years old with acute kidney injury in myocardial infarction to improve prevention and outcomes. Material and methods. The study included men 19-60 years old with type I myocardial infarction. The patients were divided into two age-comparable groups: I - study group, with acute kidney injury - 25 patients; II - control, without it - 486 patients. A comparative analysis of pulmonary circulation parameters in the first 48 hours (1) and at the end of the third week of the disease (2), their dynamics, analysis of the risks of developing acute kidney damage and chronic heart failure in the selected groups were performed. Results. The study group differed in a lower heart rate (HR1) (66.3±12.2 from the control group (75.8±18.8; p=0.003). It showed a tendency towards lower the mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP) and total pulmonary resistance (TPR) at both points of the study. In both groups, there was a similar dynamic of decrease in the MPAP and TPR levels, more pronounced in the control group (MPAPII: -14.3%; MPAPI: -6.1 %; TPRII: -29.9%; TPRI: -21.8%; p<0.0001) and multidirectional - for HR: in the study group, an increase in HR was noted by 0.9% (p<0.0001), and in the control - its decrease by 8.4% (p<0.0001). Risk markers of the acute kidney injury developing were MPAP1˂30.4 mm Hg, HR1˂67 per minute and TPR1˂622.8 dyne•s•cm-5, the presence of chronic heart failure and cardiac asthma among the disease complication. The predictors of chronic heart failure in the study group were MPAP1≥26.9 mm Hg and HR1≥62 min. Conclusions. In case of acute kidney injury, lower levels of pulmonary circulation indicators are noted, their lower dynamics during the observation period, and a greater frequency of observation of chronic heart failure in comparison with the control group. The above listed values of the pulmonary circulation parameters have been assessed as a risk marker of the acute kidney injury and chronic heart failure development.
