ObjectivesAcute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of cardiac surgery. This study aimed to explore the effects of hyperuricaemia, being overweight and hyperlipidaemia as risk factors for AKI in patients following cardiac surgery (cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI)).DesignRetrospective observational study.SettingUniversity teaching, grade-A tertiary hospital in Shanghai, China.ParticipantsPatients who underwent cardiac surgery from July 2015 to December 2015 in Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University.Main outcome measuresWe investigated the effect of hyperuricaemia, in combination with being overweight and hyperlipidaemia, on the risk of CSA-AKI.ResultsA total of 1420 patients were enrolled. The AKI incidence in the highest uric acid group was 44.4%, while that in the lowest uric acid group was 28.5% (p<0.001). Patients in the higher uric acid quartiles were more likely to be overweight and hyperlipidaemic at the same time (p<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that hyperuricaemia was an independent risk factor for AKI (OR=1.237, 95% CI 1.095 to 1.885; p=0.009); being overweight or hyperlipidaemia alone was not an independent risk factor, but the combination of being overweight and hyperlipidaemia was (OR=1.544, 95% CI 1.059 to 2.252; p=0.024). In the final model, the OR value increased to 3.126 when hyperuricaemia was combined with being overweight and hyperlipidaemia, and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed that all three models fit well (p=0.433, 0.638 and 0.597, respectively).ConclusionsThe combination of being overweight and having hyperlipidaemia was an independent risk factor, but being overweight or having hyperlipidaemia alone was not. The combination of hyperuricaemia, being overweight and hyperlipidaemia further increased the risk of CSA-AKI.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious complication faced by children following ventricular septal defect (VSD) surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The objective of this study was to explore potential predictors inherent to AKI.Methods: VSD infants who were scheduled for elective cardiac surgery with CPB from 2017 to 2020 were enrolled in this study. Based on the Pediatric Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss, End-Stage Renal Disease (pRIFLE) criteria, patients were divided into AKI and non-AKI groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were carried out in order to evaluate potential risk factors for AKI. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated to evaluate the predictive probabilities of risk factors for AKI.Results: Of all the 338 enrolled VSD infants, 49 manifested AKI with an incidence of 14.5% (49/338). The ROC curve indicated that albumin-to-fibrinogen ratio (AFR) during CPB was a significant predictor of AKI [area under the curve (AUC), 0.711; p &lt; 0.001]. Based on the univariate and multivariate logistic analyses, AFR during CPB [odds ratio (OR), 1.89; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.22–2.76, p = 0.011] was the only independent risk factor for AKI.Conclusions: This study demonstrated that a low AFR (&lt;9.35) during CPB was an independent risk factor for AKI in VSD infants following cardiac surgery with CPB.

AbstractCongestive heart failure (HF) is a known risk factor of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI). However, the relationship of the classification and severity of HF with CI-AKI remains under-explored. From January 2009 to April 2019, we recruited patients undergoing elective PCI who had complete pre- and post-operative creatinine data. According to the levels of ejection fraction (EF), HF was classified as HF with reduced EF (HFrEF) [EF < 40%], HF with mid-range EF (HFmrEF) [EF 40–49%] and HF with preserved EF (HFpEF) [EF ≥ 50%]. CI-AKI was defined as an increase of either 25% or 0.5 mg/dL (44.2 μmoI/L) in serum baseline creatinine level within 72 h following the administration of the contrast agent. A total of 3848 patients were included in the study; mean age 67 years old, 33.9% females, 48.1% with HF, and 16.9% with CI-AKI. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, HF was an independent risk factor for CI-AKI (OR 1.316, p value < 0.05). Among patients with HF, decreased levels of EF (OR 0.985, p value < 0.05) and elevated levels of N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) (OR 1.168, p value < 0.05) were risk factors for CI-AKI. These results were consistent in subgroup analysis. Patients with HFrEF were more likely to develop CI-AKI than those with HFmrEF or HFpEF (OR 0.852, p value = 0.031). Additionally, lower levels of EF were risk factors for CI-AKI in the HFrEF and HFmrEF groups, but not in the HFpEF group. NT-proBNP was an independent risk factor for CI-AKI in the HFrEF, HFmrEF and HFpEF groups. Elevated levels of NT-proBNP are independent risk factors for CI-AKI irrespective of the classification of HF. Lower levels of EF were risk factors for CI-AKI in the HFrEF and HFmrEF groups, but not in the HFpEF group.

BackgroundThe correlation between proteinuria and contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in patients with cerebrovascular disease is still unknown.ObjectiveTo determine whether proteinuria is a risk factor for CI-AKI and death in patients with stroke undergoing cerebral angiography.MethodsData from 2015 patients with stroke undergoing cerebral angiography between January 2009 and December 2013 were retrospectively collected. Clinical parameters were obtained from the hospital's computerized database. All variables were analyzed by univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis.ResultsCI-AKI was seen in 85 patients (4.2%). After adjustment for potential confounding risk factors, patients with proteinuria had a fivefold higher risk of CI-AKI than patients without proteinuria (OR=5.74; 95% CI 2.23 to 14.83; p<0.001). Other independent risk factors for CI-AKI were estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m2, anemia, and a high National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score. Proteinuria did not increase in-hospital mortality (OR=1.25; 95% CI 0.49 to 3.17; p=0.639) but did increase 1-year mortality (HR=2.30, 95% CI 1.55 to 3.41, p<0.001).ConclusionsProteinuria is an independent risk factor for CI-AKI and 1-year mortality in patients with stroke undergoing cerebral angiography. More attention should be paid to the development of CI-AKI in patients with stroke with proteinuria.

Introduction. Acute kidney injury associated with cardiac surgery is a common and significant postoperative complication. With a frequency of 9 - 39% according to different studies, it is the second most common cause of acute kidney injury in intensive care units, and an independent predictor of mortality. This study aimed to investigate the importance of preoperative hemoglobin and uric acid levels as risk factors for acute kidney injury in the postoperative period in cardiac surgery patients. Material and Methods. The study included a total of 118 patients who were divided into two groups. Each group included 59 patients; the fist group included patients who developed acute kidney injury and required renal replacement therapy, and the second included patients without acute kidney injury. Types of cardiac surgery included coronary, valvular, combined, aortic dissection, and others. All necessary data were collected from patient medical records and the electronic database. Results. A statistically significant difference was found between the groups in preoperative hemoglobin levels (108.0 vs. 143.0 g/l, p = 0.0005); postoperative urea (26.4 vs. 5.8 mmol/l, p = 0.0005) and creatinine (371.0 vs. 95.0 ?mol/l, p = 0.0005), acute phase inflammatory reactants C-reactive protein (119.4 vs. 78.9 mg/l, p = 0.002) and procalcitonin (7.0 vs. 0.2 ng/ml, p = 0.0005), creatine kinase myocardial band isoenzyme (1045.0 vs. 647.0 mg/l, p = 0.014); duration of extracorporeal circulation (103.5 vs. 76.0 min, p = 0.0005) and ascending aortic clamp during cardiac surgery (89.0 vs. 67.0 min, p = 0.0005). The exception was the preoperative uric acid level, where there was no statistically significant difference (382.0 vs. 364.0 ?mol/l, p = 0.068). There was a statistically significant correlation between the use of inotropic agents and acute kidney injury development. Conclusion. There is a correlation between the preoperative low hemoglobin levels and postoperative acute kidney injury. There is no statistically significant correlation between the preoperative levels of uric acid and postoperative acute kidney injury.
