Background/Aims: The study aimed to investigate the relationship among mortality of patients with cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI), fluid balance, and ultrafiltration of renal replacement therapy (RRT). Methods: From January 2009 to October 2015, hospitalized patients with CSA-AKI receiving continuous or prolonged intermittent RRT were screened. The effects of fluid balance and ultrafiltration of RRT on clinical outcome were analyzed. Results: The 30-day mortality of all the 63 patients in the study was 58.6%. Compared with the death group, the survival group had a significantly lower fluid balance, larger ultrafiltration volume, and similar ultrafiltration rate during the first 3 days of RRT. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that positive fluid balance during the first day of RRT, cardiac function of grade IV, and higher Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score were independent risk factors of 30-day mortality. Conclusion: Fluid balance was more relevant to short-term prognosis of CSA-AKI-RRT patients than ultrafiltration volume or ultrafiltration rate.

<strong>Background:</strong> Acute kidney injury is a common complication of cardiac surgery that increases morbidity and mortality. The aim of the present study is to analyze the association of preoperative serum albumin levels with acute kidney injury and the requirement of renal replacement therapy after isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG).<br /><strong>Methods:</strong> We retrospectively reviewed the prospectively collected data of 530 adult patients who underwent isolated CABG surgery with normal renal function. The perioperative clinical data of the patients included demographic data, laboratory data, length of stay, in-hospital complications and mortality. The patient population was divided into two groups: group I patients with preoperative serum albumin levels &lt;3.5 mg/dL; and group II pateints with preoperative serum albumin levels ≥3.5 mg/dL.<br /><strong>Results:</strong> There were 413 patients in group I and 117 patients in group II. Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) occured in 33 patients (28.2%) in group I and in 79 patients (19.1%) in group II. Renal replacement therapy was required in 17 patients (3.2%) (8 patients from group I; 9 patients from group II; P = .018). 30-day mortality occurred in 18 patients (3.4%) (10 patients from group I; 8 patients from group II; P = .037). Fourteen of these patients required renal replacement therapy. Logistic regression analysis revealing the presence of lower serum albumin levels preoperatively was shown to be associated with increased incidence of postoperative AKI (OR: 1.661; 95% CI: 1.037-2.661; <br />P = .035). Logistic regression analysis also revealed that DM (OR: 3.325; 95% CI: 2.162-5.114; P = .000) was another independent risk factor for AKI after isolated CABG. <br /><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Low preoperative serum albumin levels result in severe acute kidney injury and increase the rate of renal replacement therapy and mortality after isolated CABG.

Abstract Background Fluid overload, a critical consequence of acute kidney injury (AKI), is associated with worse outcomes. The optimal fluid removal rate per day during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is unknown. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of the ultrafiltration rate on mortality in critically ill patients with AKI receiving CRRT. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study where we reviewed 1398 patients with AKI who received CRRT between December 2006 and November 2015 at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA. The net ultrafiltration rate (UFNET) was categorized into low- and high-intensity groups (&lt;35 and ≥35 mL/kg/day, respectively). The impact of different UFNET intensities on 30-day mortality was assessed using logistic regression after adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, fluid balance from intensive care unit (ICU) admission to CRRT initiation, Acute Physiologic Assessment and Chronic Health Evaluation III and sequential organ failure assessment scores, baseline serum creatinine, ICU day at CRRT initiation, Charlson comorbidity index, CRRT duration and need of mechanical ventilation. Results The mean ± SD age was 62 ± 15 years, and 827 (59%) were male. There were 696 patients (49.7%) in the low- and 702 (50.2%) in the high-intensity group. Thirty-day mortality was 755 (54%). There were 420 (60%) deaths in the low-, and 335 (48%) in the high-intensity group (P &lt; 0.001). UFNET ≥35 mL/kg/day remained independently associated with lower 30-day mortality (adjusted odds ratio = 0.47, 95% confidence interval 0.37–0.59; P &lt; 0.001) compared with &lt;35 mL/kg/day. Conclusions More intensive fluid removal, UFNET ≥35 mL/kg/day, among AKI patients receiving CRRT is associated with lower mortality. Future prospective studies are required to confirm this finding.

The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) is commonly seen in critically ill children, the origins of which may be traced to a wide range of conditions such as inborn errors of metabolism, sepsis, congenital heart defects, bone marrow and organ transplantation, and to a lesser extent from multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) [1]. It is vital to provide a form of fluid and electrolyte clearance in these patients until native renal function improves. Nearly 3,600 critically ill children per year with acute kidney injury receive life-saving continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in the United States. However, there is no CRRT device approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in pediatric patients. Thus, clinicians unsafely adapt adult CRRT devices for use in the pediatric patients due to lack of safer alternatives. Complications observed with using adult adapted CRRT devices in children include hypotension, hemorrhage, thrombosis, temperature instability, inaccurate fluid balance between ultrafiltrate (UF) removed from and replacement fluid (RF) delivered to the patient, electrolyte disorders, and alteration of drug clearance. This research addresses this unmet clinical need through the design, mechanical and biological characterization of a pediatric specific Kidney Injury and Dysfunction Support (KIDS) CRRT device that provides high accuracy in fluid balance, reduces extracorporeal blood volume, and eliminates other problems associated with using adapted adult CRRT devices in children.

Abstract Background The interactive effect of cumulative input and output on achieving optimal fluid balance has not been well elucidated in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). This study evaluated the interrelation of fluid components with mortality in patients with AKI requiring CRRT. Methods This is a retrospective observational study conducted with a total of 258 patients who were treated with CRRT due to AKI between 2016 and 2018 in the intensive care unit of Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital. The amounts of fluid input and output were assessed at 24-h and 72-h from the initiation of CRRT. The study endpoints were 7- and 28-day all-cause mortality. Results The mean patient age was 64.7 ± 15.8 years, and 165 (64.0%) patients were male. During the follow-up, 7- and 28-day mortalities were observed in 120 (46.5%) and 157 (60.9%) cases. The patients were stratified into two groups (28-day survivors vs. non-survivors), and the cumulative fluid balances (CFBs) at 24 h and 72 h were significantly higher in the 28-day non-survivors compared with the survivors. The increase in 24-h and 72-h CFB was significantly associated with an increase in 7- and 28-day mortality risks. To examine the interactive effect of cumulative input or output on the impact of CFB on mortality, we also stratified patients into three groups based on the tertile of 24-h and 72-h cumulative input or output. The increases in 24-h and 72-h CFBs were still significantly related to the increases in 7-day and 28-day mortality, irrespective of the cumulative input. However, we did not find significant associations between increase in 24-h and 72-h CFB and increase in mortality risk in the groups according to cumulative output tertile. Conclusions The impact of cumulative fluid balance on mortality might be more dependent on cumulative output. The physicians need to decrease the cumulative fluid balance of CRRT patients as much as possible and consider increasing patient removal.
