The Impact

AbstractObstructive uropathy is known to be associated with acute kidney injury (AKI). This study aimed to investigate the etiologies, clinical characteristics, consequences and also assess the impact of AKI on long-term outcomes. This multicenter, retrospective study of 1683 patients with obstructive uropathy who underwent percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) analyzed clinical characteristics, outcomes including progression to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), overall mortality, and the impact of AKI on long-term outcomes. Obstructive uropathy in adults was most commonly caused by malignancy, urolithiasis, and other causes. AKI was present in 78% of the patients and was independently associated with preexisting chronic kidney disease (CKD). Short-term recovery was achieved in 56.78% after the relief of obstruction. ESKD progression rate was 4.4% in urolithiasis and 6.8% in other causes and older age, preexisting CKD, and stage 3 AKI were independent factors of progression. The mortality rate (34%) was highly attributed to malignant obstruction (52%) stage 3 AKI was also an independent predictor of mortality in non-malignant obstruction. AKI is a frequent complication of adult obstructive uropathy. AKI negatively affects long-term kidney outcomes and survival in non-malignant obstructions. A better understanding of the epidemiology and prognostic factors is needed for adult obstructive uropathy.

The Impact

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI) have both been associated with adverse short-term outcomes after MI. However, the impact of AKI on long-term outcomes and the interaction of AKI with baseline renal function have not been well described. Methods: ACTION Registry®-GWTGTM records from 2008-2012 were linked to Medicare data yielding a population of 76,500 acute MI patients from 581 hospitals who survived to hospital discharge. We excluded patients with cardiogenic shock, cardiac arrest, and those undergoing CABG or currently on dialysis. CKD status was defined using the Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative criteria based on admission GFR estimated using the MDRD equation. No, mild, moderate and severe AKI were defined as changes in creatinine (Cr) from baseline to peak of < 0.3, 0.3 to < 0.5, 0.5 to < 1.0 and ≥ 1.0 mg/dl respectively. Cox proportional hazard modeling was used to examine associations between AKI and 1-year mortality. Covariates for risk adjustment were adapted from the CRUSADE long-term mortality risk model. Results: The median age was 77 years, 30% had STEMI and 78% underwent diagnostic angiography.The incidence of mild, moderate and severe AKI was 7.5%, 6.0% and 3.0%. CKD stages 3, 4, and 5 were present in 41.2%, 6.7%, and 1.0% of patients. Both CKD and AKI were significantly associated with 1-year mortality (p< 0.0001 for each). A significant interaction was noted between CKD and AKI with respect to 1-year mortality (p-interaction<0.0001). Adjusted 1-year mortality increased in a dose-dependent manner across increasing severity of AKI, but this association was attenuated among individuals with more severe baseline CKD (Figure). Conclusion: One-year mortality increased in proportion to severity of AKI, with even a small increase in Cr associated with worse outcomes. The association of AKI with outcomes was modified by baseline Cr, with a greater impact of AKI observed among patients with higher baseline eGFR.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the most common form of organ dysfunction occurring in patients admitted to the intensive care unit and contributes significantly to poor long-term outcomes. Despite this public health impact, no effective pharmacotherapy exists for AKI. One reason may be that heterogeneity is present within AKI as currently defined, thereby concealing unique pathophysiologic processes specific to certain AKI populations. Supporting this notion, we and others have shown that diversity within the AKI clinical syndrome exists, and the “one-size-fits-all” approach by current diagnostic guidelines may not be ideal. A “precision medicine” approach that exploits an individual’s genetic, biologic, and clinical characteristics to identify AKI sub-phenotypes may overcome such limitations. Identification of AKI sub-phenotypes may address a critical unmet clinical need in AKI by (1) improving risk prognostication, (2) identifying novel pathophysiology, and (3) informing a patient’s likelihood of responding to current therapeutics or establishing new therapeutic targets to prevent and treat AKI. This review discusses the current state of phenotyping AKI and future directions.

Recent research has provided important insights on the long-term outcomes of patients who develop acute kidney injury (AKI) in the setting of critical illness. Large epidemiologic studies have demonstrated compelling associations between episodes of AKI and progressive kidney disease and death, respectively, although such studies do not establish causality due to the potential for confounding. Whether AKI is intrinsically toxic or a mere by-product of serious comorbidities (e.g. prior chronic kidney disease, heart failure, diabetes), there is no doubt that AKI survivors are a high-risk group who would likely benefit from close post-discharge follow-up. Recent studies have shown that a minority of patients with AKI receive specialized nephrology follow-up after discharge, suggesting an opportunity for quality improvement. Emerging research is evaluating factors that predict chronic kidney disease, end-stage renal disease, and death among AKI survivors. This work will, it is hoped, suggest new targets for prevention and treatment, with the goal of enhancing the likelihood of recovery following AKI.

The Impact

Abstract Background The impact of kidney dysfunction on long-term outcomes of patients with advanced cancer remains unclear. Methods Patients with advanced cancer included in trials conducted by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer were eligible for this retrospective analysis. Acute kidney injury (AKI) was identified using serum creatinine levels and using adverse events reported by investigators. The impact of baseline estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs) on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) was investigated. Pooled estimates of the impact of AKI on dose intensity, treatment duration, PFS and OS were obtained following a meta-analytic process. Results Nine trials were included in this study, totalling 2872 metastatic patients with various tumour types and various systemic treatment types. Baseline eGFR had homogeneously no impact on PFS or OS. Most Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss of kidney function and End-stage kidney disease (RIFLE) events occurred early during the course of the treatment. AKI was not associated with an increased rate of treatment discontinuation, while it decreased the study treatment dose intensity. Occurrence of a first RIFLE event significantly and homogeneously reduced PFS (pooled hazard ratio = 1.18, 95% confidence interval 1.07–1.30; P = 0.0012), while its impact on OS was more heterogeneous across trials. Conclusion AKI is associated with reduced treatment dose intensity and reduced PFS. Therefore, close monitoring of the kidney function during the first months of treatment should be included in clinical trial protocols and probably also in daily practice to enable early AKI diagnosis and management. Collaboration between oncologists and nephrologists is needed to reduce the risk of undertreatment of patients experiencing AKI.

Long Term Mortality

Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication of traumatic injury; however, long-term outcomes such as mortality and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) have been rarely reported in this important patient population. We compared the long-term outcome of traumatic and non-traumatic AKI requiring renal replacement therapy (AKI-RRT). Methods This nationwide cohort study used data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. Vehicle-trauma patients developing AKI-RRT during hospitalization were identified, and matching non-traumatic AKI-RRT patients were identified between 2000 and 2010. The incidences of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), 30-day, and long-term mortality were evaluated, and clinical and demographic associations with these outcomes were identified using Cox proportional hazards regression models. Results 546 traumatic AKI-RRT patients, median age 47.6 years (interquartile range: 29.0-64.3) and 76.4% male, were identified. Compared to non-traumatic AKI-RRT, traumatic AKI-RRT patients had longer length of stay in hospital [median (IQR):15 (5-34) days vs 6 (3-11) days; p < 0.001). After propensity matching with non-traumatic AKI-RRT cases with similar demographic and clinical characteristics. Traumatic AKI-RRT patients had lower rates of long-term mortality (adjusted hazard ratio (HR), 0.488; 95% CI, 0.405-0.588; p < 0.001), but similar rates of ESKD (HR, 1.075; 95% CI, 0.767–1.509; p = 0.674) and short-term risk of death (HR, 1.165; 95% CI, 0.920-1.476; p = 0.205) as non-traumatic AKI-RRT patients. Conclusions Despite severe injuries, traumatic AKI-RRT patients had better long-term survival than non-traumatic AKI-RRT patients, but a similar risk of ESKD. Our results provide a better understanding of long-term outcomes after traumatic AKI-RRT.

Abstract Background The commonly used recommended criteria for renal recovery are not unequivocal. This study compared five different definitions of renal recovery in order to evaluate long-term outcomes of cardiac surgery associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI). Methods Patients who underwent cardiac surgery between April 2009 and April 2013 were enrolled and divided into acute kidney injury (AKI) and non-AKI groups. The primary endpoint was 3-year major adverse events (MAEs) including death, new dialysis and progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD). We compared five criteria for complete renal recovery: Acute Renal Failure Trial Network (ATN): serum creatinine (SCr) at discharge returned to within baseline SCr + 0.5 mg/dL; Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative (ADQI): returned to within 50% above baseline SCr; Pannu: returned to within 25% above baseline SCr; Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO): eGFR at discharge ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2; Bucaloiu: returned to ≥90% baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Multivariate regression analysis was used to compare risk factors for 3-year MAEs. Results The rate of complete recovery for ATN, ADQI, Pannu, KDIGO and Bucaloiu were 84.60% (n = 1242), 82.49% (n = 1211), 60.49% (n = 888), 68.60% (n = 1007) and 46.32% (n = 680). After adjusting for confounding factors, AKI with complete renal recovery was a risk factor for 3-year MAEs (OR: 1.69, 95% CI: 1.20–2.38, P <  0.05; OR: 1.45, 95% CI: 1.03–2.04, P <  0.05) according to ATN and ADQI criteria, but not for KDIGO, Pannu and Bucaloiu criteria. We found that relative to patients who recovered to within 0% baseline SCr or recovered to ≥100% baseline eGFR, the threshold values at which significant differences in 3-year MAEs were observed were > 30% or > 0.4 mg/dL above baseline SCr or < 70% of baseline eGFR. Conclusions ADQI or ATN-equivalent criteria may overestimate the extent of renal recovery, while KDIGO, Pannu and Bucaloiu equivalent criteria may be more appropriate for clinical use. Our analyses revealed that SCr at discharge > 30% or > 0.4 mg/dL of baseline, or eGFR < 70% of baseline led to significant 3-year MAE incidence differences, which may serve as hints for new definitions of renal recovery.
