Abstract Background: Saline hydration with addition of mannitol have commonly being strategy to avoid cisplatin induced acute kidney injury. While the initial reports demonstrated that mannitol diuresis decreased cisplatin induced renal injury, others have shown renal injury to be worsened.Objective: To compare the risk of acute kidney injury in cancer patients receiving high dose cisplatin with addition and without addition of mannitol.Method: This was an ambispective cohort study based on consecutive sampling at Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital and Mochtar Riady Comprehensive Cancer Centre (MRCCC) Siloam Hospitals. The data was obtained from September 2017 to February 2018. The choice of mannitol administration based on responsible physician clinical judgement. The outcome was any increment more than 0,3 mg/dl or 1,5 times from baseline of serum creatinine. Analysis was done by using SPSS statistic for univariate, bivariate and multivariate logistic regression to obtain crude risk ratio and adjusted risk ratio of cisplatin induced acute kidney injury probability of mannitol addition on hydration.Result: Data from 110 patients (57,3% male) with a median age of 44,5 years (range 19 to 60 years) were collected; 47 received saline alone and 63 received saline with addition of mannitol. Acute kidney injury were higher in mannitol vs non mannitol group. Bivariate analysis showed higher probability of post chemotherapy AKI in mannitol group (RR 2,168; 95% CI 0,839-5,6). On multivariate analysis the adjusted RR was 3,52 (95% CI 1,11-11,162; p value = 0,033) by controlling age.Conclusion: The addition of mannitol on hydration had higher risk of AKI after high dose cisplatin chemotherapy.

Background: The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with COVID-19 and its association with mortality and disease severity is understudied in the Canadian population. Objective: To determine the incidence of AKI in a cohort of patients with COVID-19 admitted to medicine and intensive care unit (ICU) wards, its association with in-hospital mortality, and disease severity. Our aim was to stratify these outcomes by out-of-hospital AKI and in-hospital AKI. Design: Retrospective cohort study from a registry of patients with COVID-19. Setting: Three community and 3 academic hospitals. Patients: A total of 815 patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19 between March 4, 2020, and April 23, 2021. Measurements: Stage of AKI, ICU admission, mechanical ventilation, and in-hospital mortality. Methods: We classified AKI by comparing highest to lowest recorded serum creatinine in hospital and staged AKI based on the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) system. We calculated the unadjusted and adjusted odds ratio for the stage of AKI and the outcomes of ICU admission, mechanical ventilation, and in-hospital mortality. Results: Of the 815 patients registered, 439 (53.9%) developed AKI, 253 (57.6%) presented with AKI, and 186 (42.4%) developed AKI in-hospital. The odds of ICU admission, mechanical ventilation, and death increased as the AKI stage worsened. Stage 3 AKI that occurred during hospitalization increased the odds of death (odds ratio [OR] = 7.87 [4.35, 14.23]). Stage 3 AKI that occurred prior to hospitalization carried an increased odds of death (OR = 5.28 [2.60, 10.73]). Limitations: Observational study with small sample size limits precision of estimates. Lack of nonhospitalized patients with COVID-19 and hospitalized patients without COVID-19 as controls limits causal inferences. Conclusions: Acute kidney injury, whether it occurs prior to or after hospitalization, is associated with a high risk of poor outcomes in patients with COVID-19. Routine assessment of kidney function in patients with COVID-19 may improve risk stratification. Trial registration: The study was not registered on a publicly accessible registry because it did not involve any health care intervention on human participants.

Abstract Objectives Currently there is no validated method to predict renal reversal and recovery after acute kidney injury (AKI). As exosomes have the potential for AKI prognosis and CD26 is involved in the mechanisms in AKI, this study aims to investigate whether urinary exosomal CD26 is associated with renal-related outcomes and explore its prospect as a novel prognosis biomarker. Methods This was a single-center, prospective cohort study. A total of 133 AKI patients and 68 non-AKI patients admitted to ICU in Qilu Hospital Shandong University from January 2017 to January 2018. Urine samples were collected at enrollment and the relative expression of CD26 (CD26 percentage) in urinary exosomes was examined, that was then categorized into a low-CD26 level and a high-CD26 level. Results CD26 percentage was significantly lower in the AKI cohort than in the control cohort. Within the AKI cohort, a high-CD26 level was associated with lower incidence of major adverse kidney events within 90 days, but higher incidence of reversal within 28 days. In AKI survivors, a high-CD26 level had a 4.67-, 3.50- and 4.66-fold higher odds than a low-CD26 level for early reversal, recovery and reversal, respectively, after adjustment for clinical factors. Prediction performance was moderate for AKI survivors but improved for non-septic AKI survivors. Conclusions Urinary exosomal CD26 is associated with renal reversal and recovery from AKI and is thus a promising prognosis biomarker.

Cisplatin is an effective chemotherapeutic agent, but its clinical use is frequently limited by its nephrotoxicity. The pathogenesis of cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) remains incompletely understood, but oxidative stress, tubular cell death, and inflammation are considered important contributors to cisplatin-induced renal injury. Kahweol is a natural diterpene extracted from coffee beans and has been shown to possess anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties. However, its role in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity remains undetermined. Therefore, we investigated whether kahweol exerts a protective effect against cisplatin-induced renal injury. Additionally, its mechanisms were also examined. Administration of kahweol attenuated renal dysfunction and histopathological damage together with inhibition of oxidative stress in cisplatin-injected mice. Increased expression of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 4 and decreased expression of manganese superoxide dismutase and catalase after cisplatin treatment were significantly reversed by kahweol. Moreover, kahweol inhibited cisplatin-induced apoptosis and necroptosis in the kidneys. Finally, kahweol reduced inflammatory cytokine production and immune cell accumulation together with suppression of nuclear factor kappa-B pathway and downregulation of vascular adhesion molecules. Together, these results suggest that kahweol ameliorates cisplatin-induced renal injury via its pleiotropic effects and might be a potential preventive option against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.
