Purpose: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common complications in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), but there is no systematic analysis regarding its risk factors. This meta-analysis aims to determine the risk factors of AKI in adult patients with ECMO treatment. Methods: Two authors independently carried out a systemic literature search using PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase until April 20, 2020 (inclusive) to enroll 12 studies reporting the necessary clinical characteristics. The Gender (male), age, APACHE II score, SOFA score, cancer, diabetes mellitus (DM), intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), postcardiotomy, and ECMO supporting duration were pooled for further analysis by STATA. Results: Adult patients receiving ECMO who develop AKI and severe AKI incidents are usually older or have a higher APACHE II scores; in addition, severe AKI is related to higher SOFA scores, DM, and longer duration of ECMO support. Conclusions: Patients with these clinical characteristics should be paid more attention during ECMO. There remains a need for additional studies to validate these conclusions and to detect additional AKI risk factors for ECMO patients.

AbstractAcute kidney injury (AKI) has been reported as one of the most common complications in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), yet the risk of AKI on different types of ECMO remains unclear. This meta-analysis aimed to compare risk of AKI among adult patients requiring different types of ECMO. Two authors independently performed a literature search using PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase, encompassing publications up until Arpril 20, 2020 (inclusive). The number of AKI patients, non-AKI patients, patients required RRT and patients not required RRT receiving different types of ECMO were derived and analyzed by STATA. The results indicated there was no significant difference in risk of AKI (OR, 1.54; 95% CI: 0.75-3.16; P= 0.235) and severe AKI required RRT (OR, 1.0; 95% CI: 0.66-1.5, P= 0.994) in patients receiving different types of ECMO. In Conclusion, no difference in risk of AKI and severe AKI required RRT between patients receiving VA ECMO and VV ECMO. More studies are required to support the findings.

Background: Hypertonic sodium chloride (HTS) is used in intensive care unit (ICU) settings to manage cerebral edema, intracranial hypertension, and for the treatment of severe hyponatremia. It has been associated with an increased incidence of hyperchloremia; however, there is limited literature focusing on hyperchloremic risk in neurologically injured patients. Objective: The primary objective of this study was to determine risk factors associated with development of hyperchloremia in a neurocritical care (NCC) ICU population. Methods: This was a retrospective case-control study performed in an adult NCC ICU and included patients receiving HTS. The primary outcome was to evaluate patient characteristics and treatments associated with hyperchloremia. Secondary outcomes included acute kidney injury and mortality. Results: Overall, 133 patients were identified; patients who were hyperchloremic were considered cases (n = 100) and patients without hyperchloremia were considered controls (n = 33). Characteristics and treatments were evaluated with univariate analysis and a logistic regression model. In the multivariate model, APACHE II Score, initial serum osmolality, total 3% saline volume, and total 23.4% saline volume were significant predictors for hyperchloremia. In addition, patients with a serum chloride greater than 113.5 mEq/L were found to have a higher risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) (adjusted OR 3.15; 95% CI 1.10-9.04). Conclusions: This study demonstrated APACHE II Score, initial serum osmolality, and total 3% and 23.4% saline volumes were associated with developing hyperchloremia in the NCC ICU. In addition, hyperchloremia is associated with an increased risk of AKI.

Background and Objective: Since December 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread rapidly around the world. Studies found that the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in COVID-19 patients was more than double the incidence of AKI in non-COVID-19 patients. Some findings confirmed that AKI is a strong independent risk factor for mortality in patients with COVID-19 and is associated with a three-fold increase in the odds of in-hospital mortality. However, little information is available about AKI in COVID-19 patients. This study aimed to analyse the risk factors for AKI in adult patients with COVID-19.Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data from 1 December 2019 to 30 January 2021. We extracted data from eligible studies to compare the effects of age, sex, chronic diseases and potential risk factors for AKI on the prognosis of adult patients with COVID-19.Results: In total, 38 studies with 42,779 patients were included in this analysis. The meta-analysis showed that male sex (OR = 1.37), older age (MD = 5.63), smoking (OR = 1.23), obesity (OR = 1.12), hypertension (OR=1.85), diabetes (OR=1.71), pneumopathy (OR = 1.36), cardiovascular disease (OR = 1.98), cancer (OR = 1.26), chronic kidney disease (CKD) (OR = 4.56), mechanical ventilation (OR = 8.61) and the use of vasopressors (OR = 8.33) were significant risk factors for AKI (P < 0.05).Conclusions: AKI is a common and serious complication of COVID-19. Overall, male sex, age, smoking, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, pneumopathy, cardiovascular disease, cancer, CKD, mechanical ventilation and the use of vasopressors were independent risk factors for AKI in adult patients with COVID-19. Clinicians need to be aware of these risk factors to reduce the incidence of AKI.System Review Registration: PROSPERO, identifier [CRD42021282233].

Renal involvement is frequent in COVID-19 (4–37%). This study evaluated the incidence and risk factors of acute kidney injury (AKI) in hospitalized patients with COVID-19.Methodology: This study represents a prospective cohort in a public and tertiary university hospital in São Paulo, Brazil, during the first 90 days of the COVID-19 pandemic, with patients followed up until the clinical outcome (discharge or death).Results: There were 101 patients hospitalized with COVID-19, of which 51.9% were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). The overall AKI incidence was 50%; 36.8% had hematuria or proteinuria (66.6% of those with AKI), 10.2% had rhabdomyolysis, and mortality was 36.6%. Of the ICU patients, AKI occurred in 77.3% and the mortality was 65.4%. The mean time for the AKI diagnosis was 6 ± 2 days, and Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) stage 3 AKI was the most frequent (58.9%). Acute renal replacement therapy was indicated in 61.5% of patients. The factors associated with AKI were obesity [odds ratio (OR) 1.98, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.04–2.76, p < 0.05] and the APACHE II score (OR 1.97, 95% CI 1.08–2.64, p < 0.05). Mortality was higher in the elderly (OR 1.03, 95% CI 1.01–1.66, p < 0.05), in those with the highest APACHE II score (OR 1.08, 95% CI 1.02–1.98, p < 0.05), and in the presence of KDIGO stage 3 AKI (OR 1.11, 95% CI 1.05–2.57, p < 0.05).Conclusion: AKI associated with severe COVID-19 in this Brazilian cohort was more frequent than Chinese, European, and North American data, and the risk factors associated with its development were obesity and higher APACHE II scores. Mortality was high, mainly in elderly patients, in those with a more severe disease manifestation, and in those who developed KDIGO stage 3 AKI.

Introduction: We aimed to determine risk factors for nephrotoxicity and factors affecting mortality in patients who received colistin. Methodology: Critical patients who received colistin were enrolled. Pregnancy, age < 18 years, basal creatinine level > 2 mg/dL, colistin use for < 48 hours, and previous renal replacement therapy were exclusion criteria. KDIGO stages were determined according to creatinine levels. Patients were grouped as those with no acute kidney injury (Group N0) and those with acute kidney injury (Group N). Their demographic data, APACHE II and SOFA scores, treatments, and laboratory results were recorded. Results: A total of 91 patients were included: 27 in Group N0 and 64 in Group N. Demographic data were similar between groups; however, higher admission APACHE-II scores (OR:1.179, 95% CI:1.033-1.346, p = 0.015) and need for vasopressors (OR:5.486, 95% CI:1.522–19.769, p = 0.009) were found to be independent risk factors for nephrotoxicity. Higher APACHE II scores (OR:1.253, %95 CI:1.093-1.437, p = 0.001), presence of coronary artery disease (OR:7.720, % 95 CI: 1.613-36.956, p = 0.011), need for vasopressors (OR: 4.587, % 95 CI: 1.224 – 17.241, p = 0.024), hypoalbuminemia (OR: 4.721, % 95 CI: 1.088 – 20.469, p = 0.038), and higher direct bilirubin levels (OR: 1.806, % 95 CI: 1.055 – 3.092, p = 0.031) were independent risk factors for mortality. Conclusion: When use of colistin is considered in ICU patients, presence of modifiable risk factors for nephrotoxicity such as hypoalbuminemia, nephrotoxic drug administration, and presence of shock should be determined and managed to prevent nephrotoxicity.

Abstract Objective:The incidence and mortality of sepsis-induced acute kidney injury is high. Many studies have explored the causes of sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). However, its predictors are still uncertain; additionally, a complete overview is missing. A systematic review and a meta-analysis were performed to determine the predisposing factors for sepsis-induced AKI. Method: A systematic literature search was performed in the Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, PubMed and Web of Science databases, with an end date parameter of May 25, 2019. Valid data were retrieved in compliance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Result: Forty-seven observational studies were included for analysis. A cumulative number of 55911sepsis patients were evaluated. The incidence of AKI caused by septic shock is the highest. 30 possible risk factors were included in the meta-analysis. The results showed that 20 factors were found to be significant. The odds ratio(OR),95% confidence interval (CI) and Prevalence of the most prevalent predisposing factors for sepsis-induced AKI were as the following: Septic shock[2.88(2.36-3.52), 60.47%], Hypertension[1.43(1.20-1.70),38.39%), Diabetes mellitus[1.59(1.47-1.71),27.57%],Abdominal infection[1.44(1.32-1.58),30.87%], Vasopressors use[2.95(1.67-5.22),64.61%],vasoactive drugs use [3.85(1.89-7.87),63.22%], Mechanical ventilation[1.64(1.24-2.16),68.00%), Positive blood culture[1.60(1.35-1.89), 41.19%], Smoke history[1.60(1.09-2.36),43.09%]. Other risk factors include cardiovascular, coronary artery disease, liver disease, unknow infection, diuretics use, ACEI or ARB, gram-negative bacteria and organ transplant. Conclusion: A large number of factors are associated with AKI development in sepsis patients. Our review can guide risk-reducing interventions, clinical prediction rules, and patient-specific treatment and management strategies for sepsis-induced acute kidney injury.

Abstract Background Administration of iodinated contrast is common but may be associated with contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI), particularly in at-risk patients. There is no recent systematic review of potentially modifiable risk factors. Methods We searched MEDLINE, Embase and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (to 30 th June 2019) for observational studies assessing risk factors associated with CI-AKI. Twelve potentially modifiable risk factors were finally included in this thematic review and meta-analysis. Random or fixed meta-analysis was performed to derive the adjusted odds ratio (aOR), and the population attributable risk (PAR) was calculated for each risk factor globally and by region. Findings We included 157 studies (2,297,863 participants). The global incidence of CI-AKI was 5.4%. The potentially modifiable risk factors included high contrast volume (PAR 33%), eight cardiovascular risk factors (diuretic use, multivessel coronary artery disease, acute coronary syndrome, hypertension, hypotension, heart failure, reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and intra-aortic balloon pump use) (combined PAR 76.2%) and three noncardiovascular risk factors (renal dysfunction, diabetes mellitus and anaemia) (combined PAR 47.4%) with geographical differences.
