Children who undergo cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass are a unique population at high risk for postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload. Fluid management is important in the postoperative care of these children as fluid overload is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Peritoneal dialysis catheters are an important tool in the armamentarium of a cardiac intensivist and are used for passive drainage for fluid removal or dialysis for electrolyte and uremia control in AKI. Prophylactic placement of a peritoneal catheter is a safe method of fluid removal that is associated with few major complications. Early initiation of peritoneal dialysis has been associated with improved clinical markers and outcomes such as early achievement of a negative fluid balance, lower vasoactive medication needs, shorter duration of mechanical ventilation, and decreased mortality. In this review, we discuss the safety and potential benefits of peritoneal catheters for dialysis or passive drainage in children following cardiopulmonary bypass.

Objectives: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent and serious complication in infants after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Often the earliest sign is oliguria, which can lead to fluid overload, prolonged mechanical ventilation and ICU stay, abnormal electrolytes and increased mortality. We hypothesized that the use of peritoneal dialysis (PD) compared to furosemide use would mitigate these complications. Methods: This is a single-center, surgical complexity-stratified, randomized controlled trial performed within a cohort of patients younger than 6mo undergoing cardiac surgery with a preoperative plan of PD catheter placement due to risk of post-CPB kidney injury. If enrolled patients had urine output < 1mL/kg/hour for 4 hours during the first postoperative day, the patient was randomized to either a standardized regimen of furosemide or PD. If the patient demonstrated poor response to furosemide, PD could be initiated on postoperative day 2. Results: A total of 73 patients were randomized and completed the trial, including 2 patients who were randomized to furosemide and subsequently received PD. Using intention-to-treat analysis, the PD group was less likely to have fluid overload, had a lower delayed-extubation rate and fewer electrolyte replacements. There were no differences in mortality or ICU/hospital stay. No serious PD related complications were observed. PD was discontinued early in 9 patients due to pleural-peritoneal communication. Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that the use of PD in neonates with oliguria after CPB is associated with reduced morbidity but not differences in mortality or ICU/hospital stay. A multi-center study is necessary to further support these findings as well as determine association with mortality.

Abstract Background: Paediatric cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass induces substantial physiologic changes that contribute to post-operative morbidity and mortality. Fluid overload and oedema are prevalent complications, routinely treated with diuretics. The optimal diuretic choice, timing of initiation, dose, and interval remain largely unknown. Methods: To guide clinical practice and future studies, we used PubMed and EMBASE to systematically review the existing literature of clinical trials involving diuretics following cardiac surgery from 2000 to 2020 in children aged 0–18 years. Studies were assessed by two reviewers to ensure that they met eligibility criteria. Results: We identified nine studies of 430 children across four medication classes. Five studies were retrospective, and four were prospective, two of which included randomisation. All were single centre. There were five primary endpoints – urine output, acute kidney injury, fluid balance, change in serum bicarbonate level, and required dose of diuretic. Included studies showed early post-operative diuretic resistance, suggesting higher initial doses. Two studies of ethacrynic acid showed increased urine output and lower diuretic requirement compared to furosemide. Children receiving peritoneal dialysis were less likely to develop fluid overload than those receiving furosemide. Chlorothiazide, acetazolamide, and tolvaptan demonstrated potential benefit as adjuncts to traditional diuretic regimens. Conclusions: Early diuretic resistance is seen in children following cardiopulmonary bypass. Ethacrynic acid appears superior to furosemide. Adjunct diuretic therapies may provide additional benefit. Study populations were heterogeneous and endpoints varied. Standardised, validated endpoints and pragmatic trial designs may allow investigators to determine the optimal diuretic, timing of initiation, dose, and interval to improve post-operative outcomes.

In peritoneal dialysis (PD), the peritoneum serves as a biological dialyzing membrane. The endothelium of the vast capillary network perfusing the peritoneum functions as a semipermeable membrane and allows bidirectional solute and water transfer between the intravascular space and dialysate fluid dwelling in the peritoneal cavity. PD is a renal replacement strategy for patients presenting with end-stage renal disease. It can also be offered for ultrafiltration in patients with diuretic-resistant fluid overload even in those without advanced renal failure. PD can also be used for patients with acute kidney injury, although in the developed world this occurs rarely compared to the use of extracorporeal therapies. This review contains 9 videos,  8 figures, 4 tables, and 73 references.  Keywords: peritoneal dialysis, peritoneal cavity, catheter, dialysis fluid, ultrafiltration, tunnel infection, osmotic pressure, renal failure

Abstract Background and Aims Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and hepcidin-25 appear to be involved in catalytic iron-related kidney injury after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. We aimed to explore the predictive value of plasma NGAL, plasma hepcidin-25, and the plasma NGAL:hepcidin-25 ratio for major adverse kidney events after cardiac surgery. Method We compared the predictive value of plasma NGAL, hepcidin-25, and NGAL:hepcidin-25 with those of serum creatinine (Cr), and urinary output and urinary protein for primary endpoint major adverse kidney events (MAKE; acute kidney injury [AKI] stages 2 and 3, persistent AKI &gt; 48 hrs, acute dialysis, and in-hospital mortality) and secondary-endpoint AKI in 100 cardiac surgery patients at intensive care unit (ICU) admission. We performed ROC curve, logistic regression, and reclassification analyses. Results At ICU admission, plasma NGAL, plasma NGAL:hepcidin-25, and Cr predicted MAKE (area under the ROC curve [AUC]: 0.77 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.60–0.94], 0.79 [0.63–0.95], 0.74 [0.51–0.97]) and AKI (0.73 [0.53–0.93], 0.89 [0.81–0.98], 0.70 [0.48–0.93]). For AKI prediction, NGAL:hepcidin-25 had a higher discriminatory power than Cr (AUC difference 0.26 [95% CI 0.00–0.53]). Urinary output and protein, plasma lactate, C-reactive protein, creatine kinase myocardial band, and brain natriuretic peptide did not predict MAKE or AKI (AUC &lt; 0.70). Only plasma NGAL:hepcidin-25 correctly reclassified patients for MAKE or AKI (category-free net reclassification improvement: 0.82 [95% CI 0.12–1.52], 1.03 [0.29–1.77]). After adjustment to the Cleveland risk score, plasma NGAL:hepcidin-25 ≥ 0.9 independently predicted MAKE (adjusted odds ratio 16.34 [95% CI 1.77–150.49], P = 0.014), whereas Cr did not. Conclusion NGAL:hepcidin-25 is a promising plasma marker for predicting postoperative MAKE.

Abstract Background Systemic inflammation contributes to cardiac surgery–associated acute kidney injury (AKI). Cardiomyocytes and other organs experience hypothermia and hypoxia during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), which induces the secretion of cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRP). Extracellular CIRP may induce a proinflammatory response. Materials and Methods The serum CIRP levels in 76 patients before and after cardiac surgery were determined to analyze the correlation between CIRP levels and CPB time. The risk factors for AKI after cardiac surgery and the in-hospital outcomes were also analyzed. Results The difference in the levels of CIRP (ΔCIRP) after and before surgery in patients who experienced cardioplegic arrest (CA) was 26-fold higher than those who did not, and 2.7-fold of those who experienced CPB without CA. The ΔCIRP levels were positively correlated with CPB time (r = 0.574, p < 0.001) and cross-clamp time (r = 0.54, p < 0.001). Multivariable analysis indicated that ΔCIRP (odds ratio: 1.003; 95% confidence interval: 1.000–1.006; p = 0.027) was an independent risk factor for postoperative AKI. Patients who underwent aortic dissection surgery had higher levels of CIRP and higher incidence of AKI than other patients. The incidence of AKI and duration of mechanical ventilation in patients whose serum CIRP levels more than 405 pg/mL were significantly higher than those less than 405 pg/mL (65.8 vs. 42.1%, p = 0.038; 23.1 ± 18.2 vs. 13.8 ± 9.2 hours, p = 0.007). Conclusion A large amount of CIRP was released during cardiac surgery. The secreted CIRP was associated with the increased risk of AKI after cardiac surgery.

Oliguric acute kidney injury (AKI) with minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) has long been recognized. Several mechanisms such as hypovolemia due to hypoalbuminemia and the nephrosarca hypothesis have been proposed. However, the precise mechanism by which MCNS causes AKI has not been fully elucidated. Herein, we describe an elderly patient with AKI caused by MCNS who fully recovered after aggressive volume withdrawal by hemodialysis and administration of a glucocorticoid. A 75-year-old woman presented with diarrhea and oliguria, and laboratory examination revealed nephrotic syndrome (NS) and severe azotemia. Fluid administration had no effect on renal dysfunction, and hemodialysis was initiated. Her renal function improved upon aggressive fluid removal through hemodialysis. Renal pathological findings revealed minimal change disease with faint mesangial deposits of IgA. After administration of methylprednisolone pulse therapy followed by oral prednisolone, she achieved complete remission from NS. The clinical course of this case supports the nephrosarca hypothesis regarding the mechanism of AKI caused by MCNS. Furthermore, appropriate fluid management and kidney biopsy are also important in elderly patients with AKI caused by NS.

Introduction: Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Objectives: We aimed to identify potentially modifiable risk factors for CSA-AKI. Methods: This was asingle-center retrospective cohort study of 495 adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery. AKI was diagnosed and staged using full KDIGO criteria incorporating baseline serum creatinine (SC) levels and correction of postoperative SC levels for fluid balance. We examined the association of routinely available clinical and laboratory data with AKI using multivariate logistic regression modeling. Results: A total of 103 (20.8%) patients developed AKI: 16 (15.5%) patients were diagnosed with AKI upon hospital admission, and 87 (84.5%) patients were diagnosed with CSA-AKI. Correction of SC levels for fluid balance increased the number of AKI cases to 104 (21.0%), with 6 patients categorized to different AKI stages. Univariate logistic regression analysis identified five preoperative (age, sex, diabetes mellitus, preoperative systolic pulmonary arterial pressure [PSPAP], acute decompensated heart failure) and five intraoperative predictors of AKI (age, sex, red blood cell [RBC] volume transfused, use of minimally invasive surgery, duration of cardiopulmonary bypass). When all preoperative and intraoperative variables were incorporated into one model, six predictors remained significant (age, sex, use of minimally invasive surgery, RBC volume transfused, PSPAP, duration of cardiopulmonary bypass). Model discrimination performance showed an area under the curve of 0.69 for the model including only preoperative variables, 0.76 for the model including only intraoperative variables, and 0.77 for the model including all preoperative and intraoperative variables. Conclusions: Use of minimally invasive surgery and therapies mitigating PSPAP and intraoperative blood loss may offer protection against CSA-AKI.
