Abstract Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a severe complication of pediatric cardiothoracic surgery (CTS). It is debatable whether patients with the low preoperative arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) are more likely to develop AKI after surgery. The study aims to investigate the incidence and possible influencing factors of AKI in patients undergoning the radical operation of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) with different preoperative oxygen partial pressure. Methods: In this retrospective clinical study, 36 pediatric patients who underwent CTS were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into 4 groups according to preoperative PaO2. We examined the baseline data and outcomes of the study population among groups.Results: Of the 36 patients, 17 developed AKI. Compared with the high preoperative PaO2 group, the low preoperative PaO2 group mostly had severe AKI and persistent, but there was no significant difference in AKI among groups (P＞0.05). In the 48-hour continuous monitoring after surgery, the oxygen metabolism indexes (Pv-aCO2/Ca-vO2) were correlated with AKI and there were significant differences among the groups. Conclusions: Low preoperative PaO2 does not significantly increase the incidence of AKI and Pv-aCO2/Ca-vO2 is associated with postoperative AKI and persistent.

Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of cardiac surgery. An intraoperative monitor of kidney perfusion is needed to identify patients at risk for AKI. The authors created a noninvasive urinary oximeter that provides continuous measurements of urinary oxygen partial pressure and instantaneous urine flow. They hypothesized that intraoperative urinary oxygen partial pressure measurements are feasible with this prototype device and that low urinary oxygen partial pressure during cardiac surgery is associated with the subsequent development of AKI. Methods This was a prospective observational pilot study. Continuous urinary oxygen partial pressure and instantaneous urine flow were measured in 91 patients undergoing cardiac surgery using a novel device placed between the urinary catheter and collecting bag. Data were collected throughout the surgery and for 24 h postoperatively. Clinicians were blinded to the intraoperative urinary oxygen partial pressure and instantaneous flow data. Patients were then followed postoperatively, and the incidence of AKI was compared to urinary oxygen partial pressure measurements. Results Intraoperative urinary oxygen partial pressure measurements were feasible in 86/91 (95%) of patients. When urinary oxygen partial pressure data were filtered for valid urine flows greater than 0.5 ml · kg–1 · h–1, then 70/86 (81%) and 77/86 (90%) of patients in the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and post-CPB periods, respectively, were included in the analysis. Mean urinary oxygen partial pressure in the post-CPB period was significantly lower in patients who subsequently developed AKI than in those who did not (mean difference, 6 mmHg; 95% CI, 0 to 11; P = 0.038). In a multivariable analysis, mean urinary oxygen partial pressure during the post-CPB period remained an independent risk factor for AKI (relative risk, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.71 to 0.95; P = 0.009 for every 10-mmHg increase in mean urinary oxygen partial pressure). Conclusions Low urinary oxygen partial pressures after CPB may be associated with the subsequent development of AKI after cardiac surgery.

Background: Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a major adverse effect of cardiac surgery. The early detection of this complication can improve the quality of postoperative care and help prevent this phenomenon. Methods: In this prospective descriptive-analytical study, 148 patients were enrolled, 107 of whom were selected for analysis between February and September 2019 in the Cardiac Surgery Unit of Golestan Hospital, Ahvaz, Iran. Kidney tissue oxygen saturation was measured at multiple definite times during surgery. Hemoglobin, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and lactate were measured during and 48 hours after the surgery. Results: Forty-one patients were diagnosed with CSA-AKI according to the KDIGO criteria. Parametric and non-parametric analyses showed no significant difference between the CSA-AKI and non-CSA-AKI groups in the demographic parameters. Repeated measures ANOVA showed no significant difference in parameters, except for BUN. Repeated measures ANOVA showed a significant difference between both groups and time factors (P < 0.001, P = 0.0006, respectively). The ROC curve analyses showed that in a single point of time, the difference in the middle of CPB time from baseline had a high value in the prediction of AKI (AUC: 0.764; CI: 0.57 - 0.951). Conclusions: Kidney saturation monitoring could be considered in cardiac surgery for the rapid detection of CSA-AKI. Although kidney tissue saturation is not correlated directly to the arterial oxygen saturation, the physician and the surgery team can predict the chance of acute kidney injury.

Abstract Introduction The aim of this study was to re-audit the rates of acute kidney injury (AKI) after elective colorectal surgery, following local presentations of results. Method Outcomes After Kidney injury in Surgery (OAKS) and Ileus Management International (IMAGINE), were prospective multicentre audits on consecutive elective colorectal resections, in the UK and Ireland. These were performed over 3-month periods in 2015 and 2018 respectively. During the interim period, results were presented at participating centres to stimulate local quality improvement initiatives. Risk-adjusted 7-day postoperative AKI rates were calculated through multilevel logistic regression based on the OAKS prognostic score. Result Of the 4,917 patients included, 3,133 (63.7%) originated from OAKS and 1,784 (36.3%) from IMAGINE. On univariate analysis, there was no significant difference (p=0.737) in the 7-day AKI rate between OAKS (n=346, 11.8%) and IMAGINE (n=205, 11.5%). However, the risk-adjusted AKI rate in IMAGINE was significantly lower compared to OAKS (-1.8%, 95% CI: -2.3% to -1.3%, p&lt;0.001). Of 47 centres (40.1%) with a recorded local presentation, there was no significant difference in the subsequent AKI rate in IMAGINE (-0.7%, -2.0% to 0.6%, p=0.278). Conclusion Rates of AKI after elective colorectal surgery significantly reduced on re-audit. However, this may be related to increased awareness from participation or national quality improvement initiatives, rather than local presentation of results. Abbrev. AKI - Acute Kidney Injury, OAKS - Outcomes After Kidney injury in Surgery, IMAGINE - Ileus Management International Take-home message Risk-adjusted AKI rates significantly reduced on re-audit, however, this was most likely due to factors separate from the local presentation of initial results.

Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) in hip fracture patients is associated with morbidity, mortality, and increased length of stay. To avoid this our unit policy recommends maintenance crystalloid IV fluids of &gt;62.5 mL/Hr for hip fracture patients. However, audits have shown that many patients still receive inadequate IV fluids. Methods Three prospective audits, each including 100 consecutive acute hip fracture patients aged &gt;55, were completed with interventional measures employed between each cycle. Data collection points included details of IV fluid administration and pre/post-operative presence of AKI. Interventions between cycles included a revised checklist for admissions with a structured ward round tool for post-take ward round and various educational measures for Emergency Department, nursing and admitting team staff with dissemination of infographic posters, respectively. Results Cycle 1: 64/100 (64%) patients received adequate fluids. No significant difference in developing AKI post operatively was seen in patients given adequate fluids (2/64, 3.1%) compared to inadequate fluids (4/36, 11.1%; p = 0.107). More patients with pre-operative AKI demonstrated resolution of AKI with appropriate fluid prescription (5/6, 83.3%, vs 0/4, 0%, p &lt; 0.05) Cycle 2: Fewer patients were prescribed adequate fluids (54/100, 54%). There was no significant difference in terms of developing AKI post operatively between patients with adequate fluids (4/54, 7.4%) or inadequate fluids (2/46, 4.3%; p = 0.52). Resolution of pre-operative AKI was similar in patients with adequate or inadequate fluid administration (4/6, 67% vs 2/2, 100%). Cycle 3: More patients received adequate fluids (79/100, 79%, p &lt; 0.05). Patients prescribed adequate fluids were less likely to develop post-operative AKI than those receiving inadequate fluids (2/79, 2.5% vs 3/21, 14.3%; p &lt; 0.05). Discussion This audit demonstrates the importance of administering appropriate IV fluid in hip fracture patients to avoid AKI. Improving coordination with Emergency Department and ward nursing/medical ward staff was a critical step in improving our unit’s adherence to policy.

Abstract Background Patients with cirrhosis are more susceptible to develop AKI than the non-cirrhotic individuals. AKI has an estimated prevalence of approximately 20% to 50% among hospitalized patients with cirrhosis. Physicians caring for patients with cirrhosis should recognize the acute or chronic character of renal disease, the causes of renal injury, the clinical conditions leading concomitantly to AKI and liver dysfunction, and the prognostic factors associated with the progression of AKI. Hypovolemia (due to diuretics, hemorrhage and diarrhea), acute tubular necrosis (ATN), sepsis, nephrotoxic agents (such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, aminoglycosides and/or radiological contrasts) and hepatorenal syndrome (HRS)-type 1 are the most common causes of AKI in cirrhotic patients. Objective To evaluate the sensitivity of fractional excretion of urea (FEUrea) vas a diagnostic biomarker for different causes of acute kidney injury in liver cirrhosis. Patients and Methods This study was conducted in co-operation between Tropical Medicine Department, Ain-Shams University and the Gastroenterology and Hepatology Department, Theodor Bilharz Research Institute between July 2019 to January 2020. It included 70 adult Egyptian patients admitted for treatment of complications of cirrhosis who fulfilled the eligibility criteria and compared to 10 cirrhotic patients without renal impairment. All patients were subjected to; full history taking, thorough clinical examination, laboratory investigations, Child-Pugh score was calculated for admission and urine samples were collected for urinary urea and creatinine levels to calculate FEUrea. Results Concerning the gender distribution in this study, male to female percent was 40 (57.10%) males and 30 (42.90%) females for gender, respectively. As regards to the causes of AKI, there were 24 (34.30%) PRA, 7 (10.00%) HRS and 39 (55.70%) ATN for final diagnosis. In the current study, there was significant difference (P = 0.0001; P &lt; 0.05) in FE urea % among PRA, HRS and ATN groups (26.28±2.89, 11.76±3.44, and 47.37±10.53, respectively). Findings showed a higher FEUrea cut-off for ATN (&gt;33%) compared to lower cut-off values for PRA (&lt;33% and &gt;21%) and HRS (&lt;21%). Conclusion FEUrea was found to be an excellent simple tool for the differential diagnosis of AKI in patients with decompensated cirrhosis and ascites. FEUrea has also proven to be a useful “tubular injury” marker by differentiating ATN from non-ATN with high diagnostic accuracy (Sensitivity and Specificity exceeding &gt;90%). FEUrea was found to be a good alternative and noninvasive tool for differentiating causes of AKI in cirrhotic patients instead of other non-available or expensive markers.

Objectives: To describe the incidence of and risk factors for acute kidney injury (AKI) in children with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and study the effect of AKI on patient outcomes. Design: A single-center retrospective study. Setting: A tertiary care children’s hospital. Patients: All patients less than 18 years of age who received invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) and developed ARDS between July 2010 and July 2013 were included. Acute kidney injury was defined using p-RIFLE (risk, injury, failure, loss, and end-stage renal disease) criteria. Interventions: None. Measurements and Main Results: One hundred fifteen children met the criteria and were included in the study. Seventy-four children (74/115, 64%) developed AKI. The severity of AKI was risk in 34 (46%) of 74, injury in 19 (26%) of 74, and failure in 21 (28%) of 74. The presence of AKI was associated with lower Pao 2 to Fio 2 (P/F) ratio ( P = .007), need for inotropes ( P = .003), need for diuretics ( P = .004), higher oxygenation index ( P = .03), higher positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP; P = .01), higher mean airway pressure ( P = .008), and higher Fio 2 requirement ( P = .03). Only PEEP and P/F ratios were significantly associated with AKI in the unadjusted logistic regression model. Patients with AKI had a significantly longer duration of hospital stay, although there was no significant difference in the intensive care unit stay, duration of MV, and mortality. Recovery of AKI occurred in 68% of the patients. A multivariable model including PEEP, P/F ratio, weight, need for inotropes, and need for diuretics had a better receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve with an AUC of 0.75 compared to the ROC curves for PEEP only and P/F ratio only for the prediction of AKI. Conclusions: Patients with ARDS have high rates of AKI, and its presence is associated with increased morbidity and mortality.

AbstractObjectives:This study was designed to find the reliability of serum NGAL as an early and better diagnostic biomarker than that of serum creatinine for acute kidney injury after percutaneous coronary intervention in Pakistani population.Materials and methods:One hundred and fifty-one patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention were included and demographic data were recorded. Blood was drawn by venipuncture in clot activator vacutainers and serum was separated and stored at 4°C. Sample was drawn before the percutaneous procedure and subsequently sampling was done serially for 5 days.Results:The mean±SD serum NGAL pre-PCI (39.92± 10.35 μg/L) and 4 h post-PCI (100.42±26.07 μg/L) showed highly significant difference (p<0.001). The mean±SD serum creatinine pre-PCI (70.1±11.8 μmol/L) and post-PCI (71.2±11.6 μmol/L) showed significant difference (p=0.005) on day 2 onwards but mean microalbumin showed insignificant results (p=0.533). The serum NGAL predicted CI-AKI with sensitivity of 95.8% and specificity of 97.6% for a cut off value of 118 μg/L.Conclusion:Our results suggest that NGAL is an excellent early diagnostic biomarker for acute kidney injury in patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention.

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.

Background: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is an abrupt decrease in kidney function, leading to the retention of urea and other nitrogenous waste products. Poisoned patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) may develop AKI due to some reasons. This study was done to evaluate the AKI in poisoned patients admitted to ICU. Methods: 146 patients, admitted to the ICU of Imam Reza Hospital from March 2017 to March 2018 were studied. AKI status was assessed using Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) and Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss of kidney function and End-stage kidney disease (RIFLE) classification. Data analysis was done through SPSS V. 22 software. Results: Opioids, organophosphates, aluminum phosphide, multiple drugs, and other types of poisoning were the main five poisoning classes. Opioid toxicity was had the highest frequency with 51 patients; cases in this group experienced longer length of hospitalization stay and higher serum creatinine level than others did. Among 146 patients, 19 patients (12.8%) died, and 97 patients (66%) were transferred to the ICU. Of all cases, 18 patients (12.3%) had renal dysfunction (six patients were at risk, five patient at injury, and seven patients were at failure phase based on the RIFLE criteria). Renal replacement therapy was required in 24 cases (16.4%). Conclusion: It is unlikely to detect a significant difference in the occurrence of AKI between the main poisoning classes. Being the largest group of intoxicated patients admitted to the ICU, the opioid poisoning had the highest rate of AKI
