Abstract Background and Aims Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) may trigger organs damage, including kidney injury, due to a massive cytokine release. In this observational, prospective study, we have analyzed the possible impact of chronic treatment with ACE-Inhibitors (ACE-I) on the inflammatory response and renal function after CPB. Method Sixty-nine patients undergoing major cardiac surgery with CPB were enrolled. Patients were stratified according to long-term (>6 mo.) ACE-I use (n=38) or not (n=31). The primary endpoint was to analyze the changes in their IL-1 alpha, IL-1beta, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF alpha, EGF and VEGF plasma levels. Secondary (renal) endpoints were: postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI), recovery of baseline GFR values and the absolute changes in renal function indexes. Results After CPB, IL-1alpha, IL-1beta, IL-4 and TNF-alpha remained stable overtime, while a significant decrease in IL-2 plasma levels was noticed in the ACE-I group (p=0.01). IL-6 and IL-8 plasma levels increased after surgery and tended to decrease after 48h. IL-10 plasma levels showed a similar variation, but both their rise and decrease were more pronounced in patients under ACE-I treatment (p=0.007). Finally, VEGF and EGF showed a marked initial decrease with a tendency to normalization 10 days after surgery (p for trend ranging from 0.01 to 0.001) (Figure 1-2). The occurrence of AKI within 2 days after surgery, the rate of GFR recovery and the absolute changes in renal function indexes were not statistically different between groups (Figure 3). Conclusion Chronic, long-term ACE-I treatment may influence the inflammatory response following CPB. On the other hand, this drug class apparently has neutral impact on perioperative renal outcomes.

Background: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), although associated with an increased risk for acute kidney injury (AKI), may also result in improvement in renal function. Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the magnitude of kidney function improvement (KFI) after TAVR and to assess its significance on long-term mortality. Design: This is a prospective single center study. Setting: The study was conducted in cardiology department, interventional unit, in a tertiary hospital. Patients: The cohort included 1321 patients who underwent TAVR. Measurements: Serum creatinine level was measured at baseline, before the procedure, and over the next 7 days or until discharge. Methods: Kidney function improvement was defined as the mirror image of AKI, a reduction in pre-procedural to post-procedural minimal creatinine of more than 0.3 mg/dL, or a ratio of post-procedural minimal creatinine to pre-procedural creatinine of less than 0.66, up to 7 days after the procedure. Patients were categorized and compared for clinical endpoints according to post-procedural renal function change into 3 groups: KFI, AKI, or preserved kidney function (PKF). The primary endpoint was long-term all-cause mortality. Results: The incidence of KFI was 5%. In 55 out of 66 patients patients, the improvement in kidney function was minor and of unclear clinical significance. Acute kidney injury occurred in 19.1%. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 was a predictor of KFI after multivariable analysis (odds ratio = 0.93 to develop KFI; confidence interval [95% CI]: 0.91-0.95, P < .001). Patients in the KFI group had a higher Society of Thoracic Surgery (STS) score than other groups. Mortality rate did not differ between KFI group and PKF group (43.9% in KFI group and 33.8% in PKF group) but was significantly higher in the AKI group (60.7%, P < .001). Limitations: The following are the limitations: heterozygous definitions of KFI within different studies and a single center study. Although data were collected prospectively, analysis plan was defined after data collection. Conclusions: Improvement in kidney function following TAVR was not a common phenomenon in our cohort and did not reduce overall mortality rate.

Abstract Background and Aims Acute renal failure (AKI) associated to rhabdomyolysis conditions a worse prognosis in short-term, its implication in the long-term renal function has been less evaluated. Method Retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis defined by creatinine kinase &gt; 5000 IU/L between 2015-2019. Basal and 12-month renal function was evaluated. AKI was classified as either non-severe (AKI-KDIGO 1/2) or severe (AKI-KDIGO 3). Results Eighty-seven patients were included, 25 (28.74%) had some degree of chronic kidney disease (CKD) on admission. 56 (64.37%) had AKI on admission, 17 of which were severe (6 required hemodialysis). The patients with AKI had more cardiovascular disease (CVD) and worse analytical parameters on admission (table). Patients with severe AKI showed no difference in CVD from those with non-severe AKI but were younger and had more hyperkalemia. There were no significant differences between patients with severe AKI who required hemodialysis and those who did not. Inpatient mortality was 8%, higher in patients with AKI but without differences according to severity. In 45 patients kidney function was available 12 months after the episode, loss of eGF was -4.90 ± 14.35 ml/min-1.73m2 (p=0.007). There was no difference between patients who developed AKI and those who did not (-4.10 ± 14.4 vs. -5.39 ± 14.57 ml/min-1.73m2; p=0.67), nor between non-severe and severe AKI (-5.50 ± 14.76 vs. -5.12 ± 15.08ml/min-1.73m2; p=0.98). Of the 33 patients without previous CKD, 5 developed CKD, with greater decrease in eGF than those who did not (-22.69 ± 6.04 vs. -2.63 ± 13.92 ml/min-1.73m2; p=0.003). Female sex (60% vs. 12%; p=0.031) and previous basal eGF (72.22 ± 4.37 vs. 95.6±19.97 ml/min-1.72m2; p=0.016) were related to this deterioration. Conclusion After an episode of rhabdomyolysis, the loss of eGF is similar in patients who develop AKI compared to those who do not.

End Stage

Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) experience higher rates of hospitalisation, cardiovascular events, and all-cause mortality and are more likely to require admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) than patients with normal renal function. Sepsis and cardiovascular diseases are the most common reasons for ICU admission. ICU mortality rates in patients requiring chronic hemodialysis are significantly higher than for patients without ESRD; however, dialysis patients have a better ICU outcome than those with acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring renal replacement therapy suggesting that factors other than loss of renal function contribute to their prognosis. Current evidence suggests, the longer-term outcomes after discharge from ICU may be favourable and that long-term dependence on dialysis should not prejudice against prompt referral or admission to ICU.

Current Report

Rhabdomyolysis is diagnosed based on the levels of blood biomarkers such as creatine kinase (CK), but the use of CK levels to predict long-term renal function remains controversial. This current report presents a case with a very high CK level with the presentation of acute kidney injury (AKI) who regained full renal function. A 29-year-old man, in a manic mood and presenting with dyspnoea, was admitted to hospital following an episode of ketamine use along with a history of drug abuse. The laboratory analyses identified rhabdomyolysis (CK, 35 266 U/l) and AKI (serum creatinine, 3.96 mg/dl). Despite treatment with intravenous normal saline (4000 ml/day), his CK level reached at least 300 000 U/l. He underwent 13 sessions of haemodialysis and his renal function fully recovered. The final measurements were serum creatinine 1.0 mg/dl and CK 212 U/l. These findings support the view that the predictive power of CK level on AKI is limited, especially regarding long-term renal function. Close follow-up examinations of renal function after haemodialysis are mandatory for patients with rhabdomyolysis.

Relevance. Rhabdomyolysis is one of the complications of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19, which may cause acute kidney injury (AKI). The reason for the development of rhabdomyolysis in our observation in a patient after suffering COVID-19 in the long-term period was an increased muscle load.Aim of study. Presentation of a case of rhabdomyolysis with AKI in a patient after COVID-19 in the long-term period.Material and methods. In clinical observation, a 25-year-old patient L. is presented, who was being treated in the Department for the Treatment of Acute Endotoxicosis of the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine. In 2020, he developed COVID-19, complicated by rhabdomyolysis and AKI in the long term period.Results. Examination revealed an increase in creatinine phosphokinase (CPK) — 106,000.0 U/L, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) — 553.0 U/L, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) — 1582.0 U/L, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) — 2809.0 U/L, levels of serum creatinine 164 μmol/L and myoglobin — 201 ng/ml. Virological research: IgM — 0.27 units per ml; IgG — 7.28 units per ml. 3 Three-phase scintigraphy with 99mTc-pyrfotech revealed signs of necrotic changes in the muscles of the upper half of the back, muscles of the chest (mainly on the right), muscles of the shoulder and upper half of the forearm on both sides. Kidneys: decreased perfusion of the right kidney (relative to the left), moderate slowdown of urodynamics at the level of the calyx-pelvis complex on both sides.Conclusions. The reason for the development of rhabdomyolysis in the long-term period in the patient after suffering from COVID-19 was an increased muscle load. Targeted research and medical history can help identify signs of rhabdomyolysis. The use of the radionuclide diagnostic method makes it possible to identify areas of soft tissue damage with a one-step assessment of renal function in rhabdomyolysis in the acute period of the disease, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment with dynamic observation. When rhabdomyolysis is confirmed, it is necessary to carry out detoxification and infusion therapy, to monitor renal function in order to detect acute kidney injury, and in case of deterioration of renal function and intoxication, renal replacement therapy is indicated.
