Abstract Background and Aims The immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) became a vital part of cancer treatment. The ICIs seem to be safer than chemotherapy for kidneys in clinical trials. However, recent observational studies from high-resource settings pointed out the possible underreporting of renal adverse events like acute kidney injury (AKI) in the clinical trials due to focusing only to the renal immune-related adverse events. Additionally, clinical trials generally enroll a fitter population with lesser comorbidities and include mostly treatment-naive patients making studies in real-life cohorts imperative for evaluating the AKI rates during ICI treatment. From these points, we aimed to evaluate the AKI rates and predisposing factors in ICI-treated patients. Method This retrospective study has evaluated the data of adult metastatic cancer patients treated with ICIs in Hacettepe University Cancer Center from 01.2014 to 12.2019. All patients other than the ones treated within the context of clinical trials or followed in other institutions after the first dose of ICIs were included. Baseline demographics, cancer types, patient weight and heights, ICI type and the number of cycles, serum creatinine and the estimated GFR values under treatment, regular medications, and comorbidities were recorded. AKI was defined by Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes criteria. The predisposing factors to AKI development were evaluated with the univariate and multivariate analyses. Results A total of 147 patients were included in the analyses. Median age was 61 [interquartile range (IQR) 51-67], and 69.4% of the patients were male. Patients were given a median of 8 (IQR 5-17) ICI cycles. Patients with melanoma (24.5%), non-small cell lung cancer (15%), and renal cell carcinoma (25.9%) comprised almost 2/3 of the cohort and 72.8% of the patients were treated with nivolumab. Hypertension was the most common comorbidity (38.1%), followed by chronic kidney disease (21.2%) and type 2 diabetes (19.7%). Median Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) was 8 (7-9). Median follow-up was 10.3 (IQR 6.3-19.4) months, and patients had median 9 (IQR 5-18) serum creatinine measurements. During the follow-up, 28 patients (19%) had at least one AKI episode with multiple AKI episodes in 3 patients (10.7%). The median time to AKI development was 2.53 (IQR 1.39-6.19) months. Almost all AKI events were mild (grade 1 or 2 in 27/28) and reversible (25/28). In univariate analyses, coronary artery disease (CAD) (p=<0.001), chronic kidney disease (CKD) (p=0.002), previous nephrectomy (p=0.015), iodinated contrast exposure in the week before immunotherapy (p=0.035), the use of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (p=0.046) or proton pump inhibitors (PPI) (p=0.041) was associated with an increased AKI risk. The association between diabetes (p=0.067), higher CCI (9 vs. ≥9, p=0.107), baseline lactate dehydrogenase levels (p=0.177), and performance status (ECOG 0 vs. ≥1, p=0.235) and AKI risk did not reach statistical significance. In multivariate analyses, patients with CKD (OR: 3.719, 95% CI: 1.375- 10.057, p=0.010) or CAD (OR: 4.774, 95% CI: 1.803- 12.641, p=0.002) had increased AKI risk. Additionally, regular PPI use (OR: 2.734, 95% CI: .991- 7.542, p=0.052) had borderline statistical significance for AKI development. The development of AKI was not associated with decreased survival (HR: 0.726, 95% CI: 0.409-1.291, p=0.276). Conclusion In this study, we observed AKI development under ICIs in almost one in five cancer patients. The increased AKI rates in patients with CAD, CKD, or regular PPI use pointed out the need for better onco-nephrology collaboration in all ICI-treated patients, with a particular emphasis in these high-risk patients.

Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with tubulointerstitial fibrosis and nephron loss and may lead to an increased risk for subsequently developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). In adults with sickle cell anemia (SCA), high rates of CKD have been consistently observed, although the incidence and risk factors for AKI are less clear. We evaluated the incidence of AKI, defined according to Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines as a rise in serum creatinine by ≥0.3mg/dL within 48 hours or ≥1.5 times baseline within seven days, in 158 of 299 adult SCA patients enrolled in a longitudinal cohort from the University of Illinois at Chicago. These patients were selected based on the availability of genotyping for α-thalassemia, BCL11A rs1427407, APOL1 G1/G2, and the HMOX1 rs743811 and GT-repeat variants. Median values and interquartile range (IQR) are provided. With a median follow up time of 66 months (IQR, 51-74 months), 137 AKI events were observed in 63 (40%) SCA patients. AKI was most commonly observed in the following settings: acute chest syndrome (25%), an uncomplicated vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC)(24%), a VOC with pre-renal azotemia determined by a fractional excretion of sodium <1% or BUN-to-creatinine ratio >20:1 (14%), or a VOC with increased hemolysis, defined as an increase in serum LDH or indirect bilirubin level >1.5 times over the baseline value at the time of enrollment (12%). Compared to individuals who did not develop AKI, SCA adults who developed an AKI event were older (AKI: median and IQR age of 35 (26-46) years, no AKI: 28 (23 - 26) years; P=0.01) and had a lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (AKI: median and IQR eGFR of 123 (88-150) mL/min/1.73m2, no AKI: 141 (118-154) mL/min/1.73m2; P=0.02) by the Kruskal-Wallis test at the time of enrollment. We evaluated the association of a panel of candidate gene variants with the risk of developing an AKI event. These included loci related to the degree of hemolysis (α-thalassemia, BCL11A rs1427407), to chronic kidney disease (APOL1 G1/G2 risk variants), and to heme metabolism (HMOX1) . Using a logistic regression model that adjusted for age and eGFR at the time of enrollment, the risk of an AKI event was associated with older age (10-year OR 2.6, 95%CI 1.4-4.8, P=0.002), HMOX1 rs743811 (OR 3.1, 95%CI 1.1-8.7, P=0.03), and long HMOX1 GT-repeats, defined as >25 repeats (OR 2.5, 95%CI 1.01-6.1, P=0.04). Next, we assessed whether AKI is associated with a more rapid decline in eGFR and with CKD progression, defined as a 50% reduction in eGFR, on longitudinal follow up. Using a mixed effects model that adjusted for age and eGFR at the time of enrollment, the rate of eGFR decline was significantly greater in those with an AKI event (β = -0.51) vs. no AKI event (β = -0.16) (P=0.03). With a median follow up time of 66 months (IQR, 51-74 months), CKD progression was observed in 21% (13/61) of SCA patients with an AKI event versus 9% (8/88) without an AKI event. After adjusting for age and eGFR at the time of enrollment, the severity of an AKI event according to KDIGO guidelines (stage 1 if serum creatinine rises 1.5-1.9 times baseline, stage 2 if the rise is 2.0-2.9 times baseline, and stage 3 if the rise is ≥3 times baseline or ≥4.0 mg/dL or requires renal replacement therapy) was a risk factor for CKD progression (unadjusted HR 1.6, 95%CI 1.1-2.3, P=0.02; age- and eGFR-adjusted HR 1.6, 95%CI 1.1-2.5, P=0.03). In conclusion, AKI is commonly observed in adults with sickle cell anemia and is associated with increasing age and the HMOX1 GT-repeat and rs743811 polymorphisms. Furthermore, AKI may be associated with a steeper decline in kidney function and more severe AKI events may be a risk factor for subsequent CKD progression in SCA. Future studies understanding the mechanisms, consequences of AKI on long-term kidney function, and therapies to prevent AKI in SCA are warranted.

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression assessed by estimated GFR from creatinine (eGFR-Cr) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and has been proposed as a surrogate endpoint for clinical trials. It is unclear if CKD progression assessed by change in different filtration markers has similar risk associations with ESRD. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that percent change in novel kidney filtration markers (β 2 -microglobulin and cystatin C) over a 6-year period would be independently associated with increased risk of ESRD during 15 years of follow-up, similar to the risk seen with change in eGFR-Cr. Methods: We conducted prospective analyses of the ARIC study (N=9,703). β 2 -microglobulin, cystatin C, and creatinine were measured at study visits 1 (1990-92) and 2 (1996-98). Incident ESRD (kidney dialysis or transplant) was defined as entry into the U.S. Renal Data System registry between study visit 2 and September 30, 2011. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to estimate the association between percent change in filtration marker and incident ESRD, adjusting for demographics, kidney disease risk factors, and 1 st measurement of the filtration marker. Results: During a median follow-up of 13.1 years, there were 142 incident ESRD cases. Median eGFR-Cr was 97.3 mL/min/1.73 m 2 at 1 st measurement and 89.0 mL/min/1.73 m 2 at 2 nd measurement. Percent change in eGFR-Cr was moderately correlated with percent change in the inverse of β 2 -microglobulin (r = 0.34) and the inverse of cystatin C (r = 0.36). Progression of CKD (10-25% and >25% decline in filtration function) was associated with increased ESRD risk, with novel markers (β 2 -microglobulin, cystatin C) showing an association at least as strong as the creatinine and eGFR-Cr estimates (Table). Conclusions: CKD progression assessed using novel filtration markers is independently associated with ESRD risk, suggesting the potential utility of measuring change in β 2 -microglobulin and cystatin C in clinical trials.

The risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) following severe acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients is well documented, but not after less severe AKI. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the long-term incidence of CKD after non-severe AKI in critically ill patients. This prospective single-center observational three-years follow-up study was conducted in the medical intensive care unit in Bordeaux’s hospital (France). From 2013 to 2015, all patients with severe (kidney disease improving global outcomes (KDIGO) stage 3) and non-severe AKI (KDIGO stages 1, 2) were enrolled. Patients with prior eGFR < 90 mL/min/1.73 m2 were excluded. Primary outcome was the three-year incidence of CKD stages 3 to 5 in the non-severe AKI group. We enrolled 232 patients. Non-severe AKI was observed in 112 and severe AKI in 120. In the non-severe AKI group, 71 (63%) were male, age was 62 ± 16 years. The reason for admission was sepsis for 56/112 (50%). Sixty-two (55%) patients died and nine (8%) were lost to follow-up. At the end of the follow-up the incidence of CKD was 22% (9/41); Confidence Interval (CI) 95% (9.3–33.60)% in the non-severe AKI group, tending to be significantly lower than in the severe AKI group (44% (14/30); CI 95% (28.8–64.5)%; p = 0.052). The development of CKD three years after non-severe AKI, despite it being lower than after severe AKI, appears to be a frequent event highlighting the need for prolonged follow-up.

Abstract Abstract 3463 Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common in survivors of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT). However, evolution over time of kidney dysfunction and its association with post-SCT acute kidney injury (AKI) are unclear. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed in 86 myeloablative allogenic SCT patients who received SCT between 1990 and 1999 and lived without relapse for 10 years or more. CKD was defined as a sustained decrease in estimated GFR less than 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 at least for a period more than 3 months. Post-SCT AKI was classified into three stages according to the acute kidney injury network (AKIN) criteria within 100 days after SCT. Incidence of new-onset CKD was studied by 1-year interval along the course of follow-up. Cumulative CKD incidence was evaluated by the Kaplan-Meier analysis. The factors associated with CKD at the time of 10 years after SCT were examined using Cox regression analysis. Results: The incident of new CKD was the highest (10.5%) at the first year after SCT and then remained almost constant (2.3 to 3.5%) (Figure 1). The prevalence of CKD increased along the follow-up time (Table 1). The cumulative incidence of CKD increased according to increasing AKI stages with significant difference between stages ≥1 and no AKI (Figure 2). Cox regression showed that each AKIN stage was a significant predictor of CKD: stage 3: hazard ratio (HR) 12.7, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.42–97.6; stage 2: HR 7.75, 95% CI 1.83–53.6; and stage 1: HR 4.36, 95% CI 1.06–29.5. Other predictors included total body irradiation (TBI) (HR, 4.00; 95% CI, 1.63–10.5) and age on SCT (HR, 1.08; 95% CI, 1.03–1.13). Conclusions: CKD accumulated among long-term survivors receiving myeloablative allogenic SCT. Post-SCT AKI, regardless of the AKIN stages, is the most significant risk of CKD in such SCT population. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

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.

Abstract Background and Aims The SUSTAIN 6 cardiovascular outcomes trial (CVOT) indicated a renal benefit with subcutaneous (s.c.) once-weekly (OW) semaglutide vs placebo. The PIONEER 6 CVOT reported cardiovascular safety with oral semaglutide in a similar cohort using a similar trial design. In the present post hoc study, eGFR data from the SUSTAIN 6 and PIONEER 6 trials were pooled to evaluate the potential benefit of semaglutide (s.c. or oral) vs placebo on chronic kidney disease (CKD) outcomes. Method Data from 6,480 subjects from SUSTAIN 6 (N=3,297; median follow-up, 2.1 years; mean baseline eGFR, 76 mL/min/1.73 m2) and PIONEER 6 (N=3,183; median follow-up, 1.3 years; mean baseline eGFR, 74 mL/min/1.73 m2) were pooled for semaglutide (0.5 mg s.c. OW, 1.0 mg s.c. OW or 14 mg oral once daily) or placebo. We evaluated time to onset of persistent eGFR reduction (thresholds of ≥30%, ≥40%, ≥50% and ≥57% [57% corresponds to a doubling of serum creatinine]) from baseline in the overall pooled population and by baseline CKD subgroups (≥30–&lt;60 mL/min/1.73 m2, n=1,699; ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2, n=4,762; data were missing for 19 subjects). Analyses were performed using a Cox proportional-hazards model with treatment group (semaglutide vs placebo) and CKD subgroup as fixed factors and the interaction between both stratified by trial. Results In the overall population, the hazard ratios (HRs) for time to onset of persistent eGFR reductions with semaglutide vs placebo were &lt;1.0, but did not achieve statistical significance. In subjects with baseline eGFR ≥30–&lt;60 mL/min/1.73 m2, HRs for semaglutide vs placebo were consistently lower compared with the overall population and, in this subgroup, semaglutide significantly reduced the risk of developing a persistent 30% eGFR reduction vs placebo (Figure; p=0.03). Numerically larger effects were seen with increasing eGFR reduction thresholds in this subgroup, with the exception of the 57% eGFR reduction threshold. No statistically different interactions between treatment and CKD subgroup were observed. Conclusion The findings of this post hoc analysis of pooled data from SUSTAIN 6 and PIONEER 6 on clinically relevant outcomes for CKD support a smaller magnitude of eGFR decline with semaglutide vs placebo, despite relatively short follow-up times. The small number of events at both the 50% and 57% thresholds, and the associated broad confidence intervals, limit the interpretability of the results. In line with previous findings, the data suggest a renal benefit of semaglutide vs placebo in subjects with established CKD. The FLOW trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03819153), which is dedicated to exploring CKD outcomes with semaglutide treatment, is ongoing to test this hypothesis in patients with CKD at baseline.

Abstract Background This study aimed to investigate the association of acute kidney injury (AKI) with change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in children with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods Single centre, retrospective longitudinal study including all prevalent children aged 1–18 years with nondialysis CKD stages 3–5. Variables associated with CKD were analysed for their potential effect on annualised eGFR change (ΔGFR/year) following multiple regression analysis. Composite end-point including 25% reduction in eGFR or progression to kidney replacement therapy was evaluated. Results Of 147 children, 116 had at least 1-year follow-up in a dedicated CKD clinic with mean age 7.3 ± 4.9 years with 91 (78.4%) and 77 (66.4%) with 2- and 3-year follow-up respectively. Mean eGFR at baseline was 29.8 ± 11.9 ml/min/1.73 m2 with 79 (68%) boys and 82 (71%) with congenital abnormalities of kidneys and urinary tract (CAKUT). Thirty-nine (33.6%) had at least one episode of AKI. Mean ΔGFR/year for all patients was − 1.08 ± 5.64 ml/min/1.73 m2 but reduced significantly from 2.03 ± 5.82 to − 3.99 ± 5.78 ml/min/1.73 m2 from youngest to oldest age tertiles (P < 0.001). There was a significant difference in primary kidney disease (PKD) (77% versus 59%, with CAKUT, P = 0.048) but no difference in AKI incidence (37% versus 31%, P = 0.85) between age tertiles. Multiple regression analysis identified age (β = − 0.53, P < 0.001) and AKI (β = − 3.2, P = 0.001) as independent predictors of ΔGFR/year. 48.7% versus 22.1% with and without AKI reached composite end-point (P = 0.01). Conclusions We report AKI in established CKD as a predictor of accelerated kidney disease progression and highlight this as an additional modifiable risk factor to reduce progression of kidney dysfunction.

Background. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of cardiac surgery but its long-term consequences, in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), are not known.Methods. We compared the long-term prognoses of CKD patients who developed (n=23) and did not develop (n=35) AKI during the period of hospitalization after undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Fifty-eight patients who survived (69.6±8.4years old, 72% males, 83% Whites, 52% diabetics, baseline GFR:46±16 mL/min) were followed up for47.8±16.4months and treated for secondary prevention of events.Results. There were 6 deaths, 4 in the AKI+ and 2 in the AKI− group (Log-rank = 0.218), two attributed to CV causes. At the end of the study, renal function was similar in the two groups. One AKI− patient was started on dialysis. Only 4 patients had an increase in serum creatinine ≥ 0.5 mg/dL during follow-up.Conclusion. CKD patients developing AKI that survived the early perioperative period of coronary intervention present good renal and nonrenal long-term prognosis, compared to patients who did not develop AKI.

Patients with chronic kidney disease develop acute kidney injury (AKI) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We report a case highlighting the benefits of zero-contrast left main bifurcation PCI in an 82-year-old male with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction and contrast-induced AKI following coronary angiography. The patient was on routine follow-up, and he was stable and asymptomatic at nine months follow-up.
