Background Differences in the impact of contrast medium on the development of contrast‐induced acute kidney injury (CI‐AKI) in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) or a coronary angiography/percutaneous coronary intervention (CA/PCI) have not been previously investigated. Methods and Results Patients treated with TAVI or elective CA/PCI were retrospectively analyzed in terms of baseline and procedural characteristics, including preprocedural and postprocedural kidney function. CI‐AKI was defined as a relative increase in serum creatinine concentration of at least 0.3 mg/dL within 72 hours of contrast‐medium administration compared with baseline. The incidence of CI‐AKI in the TAVI versus CA/PCI group was compared. After the exclusion of patients in dialysis and emergency procedures, 977 patients were analyzed; there were 489 patients who had undergone TAVI (50.1%) and 488 patients who had undergone CA/PCI (49.9%). Patients treated by TAVI were older, presenting a higher rate of anemia and chronic kidney disease ( P <0.001 for all comparisons). Consistently, they also had a significantly lower glomerular filtration rate and higher serum creatinine concentration ( P <0.001 for all). However, the occurrence of CI‐AKI was significantly lower in these patients compared with patients treated by a CA/PCI (6.7% versus 14.5%, P <0.001). At multivariate analysis, the TAVI procedure had an independent protective effect on CI‐AKI incidence among total population (odds ratio, 0.334; 95% CI, 0.193–0.579; P <0.001). This observation was confirmed after propensity score matching among 360 patients (180 by TAVI and 180 by CA/PCI; P =0.002). Conclusions CI‐AKI occurred less frequently in patients undergoing TAVI than in patients undergoing a CA/PCI, despite a worse‐risk profile. The impact of contrast administration on kidney function in patients who had undergone TAVI may be better tolerated because of the hemodynamic changes following aortic valve replacement.

Acute renal failure (ARF) has been defined as a syndrome in which an abrupt decrease in renal function produces retention of nitrogenous waste products. Translating this abstract description into a clinically useful, accurate, and widely accepted definition has been challenging, in large part because of the focus on serum creatinine concentration, which is easily obtained but has the inherent limitation of poor detection of rapid or subtle, but clinically important, changes in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). In recent years, therefore, the term acute kidney injury (AKI) has replaced ARF because AKI denotes the entire clinical spectrum from mild increases in serum creatinine to overt renal failure. AKI is defined by the Risk-Injury-Failure-Loss-ESRD (RIFLE) criteria, based on serum creatinine concentration and urine flow rate. The Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) subsequently modified the definition further and divided AKI into three stages. This part of the AKI review specifically discusses special situations: rhabdomyolysis, aristolochic acid nephropathy, acute urate nephropathy, acute phosphate nephropathy, AKI in multiple myeloma, ehytlene glycol poisoning, contrast-induced nephropathy, AKI in sepsis, hepatorenal syndrome, and AKI in pregnancy. This review contains 10 tables, and 47 references. Keywords:Acute kidney injury, dialysis, contrast, rhabdomyolysis, nephropathy, urinalysis, multiple myeloma, ethylene glycol, sepsis, hepatorenal syndrome

Abstract Background: Fluid management is an everyday challenge in intensive care units worldwide. Data from recent trials suggest that the use of hydroxyethyl starch leads to a higher rate of acute kidney injury and mortality in septic patients. Evidence on the safety of hydroxyethyl starch used in postoperative cardiac surgery patients is lacking Methods: The aim was to determine the impact of postoperatively administered hydroxyethylstarch 130/0.42 on renal function and 90-day mortality compared to with or without balanced crystalloids in patients after elective cardiac surgery. A retrospective cohort analysis was performed including 2245 patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting or, aortic valve replacement, or a combination of both between 2015 - 2019. Acute kidney injury was defined according to the ‘kidney disease improving global outcomes’ criteria. Multivariate logistic regression yielded adjusted associations of postoperative hydroxyethyl starch administration with acute kidney injury during hospital stay and 90-day mortality. Linear mixed-effects models predicted trajectories of estimated glomerular filtration rates over the postoperative period to explore the impact of dosage and timing of hydroxyethyl starch administration.Results: A total of 1009 patients (45.0 %) suffered from acute kidney injury. Significantly less acute kidney injury of any stage occurred in patients receiving hydroxyethyl starch compared to patients receiving only crystalloids for fluid resuscitation (43.7 % vs. 51.2 % p=0.008). In multivariate analysis, the administration of hydroxyethyl starch showed a protective effect (OR 0.89 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.82-0.96)) which was less prominent in patients receiving only crystalloids (OR 0.98, 95% CI (0.95-1.00)). No association between hydroxyethyl starch and 90-day mortality (OR 1.05 95% CI (0.88-1.25)) was detected. Renal function trajectories were dose-dependent and biphasic and hydroxyethyl starch could even slow down the late postoperative decline of kidney function.Conclusion: This study showed no association between hydroxyethyl starch and the postoperative occurrence of acute kidney injury and may add evidence to the discussion about the use of hydroxyethyl starch in cardiac surgery patients. In addition, hydroxyethyl starch administered early after surgery in adequate low doses might even prevent the decline of the kidney function after cardiac surgery.
