Abstract Objectives: This study aimed to identify the incidence rate of Acute kidney injury (AKI) in our center and predict in-hospital mortality and long-term survival after heart transplantation (HTx). Methods: This single-center, retrospective study from October 2009 and March 2020 analyzed the pre-, intra-, and postoperative characteristics of 95 patients who underwent HTx. AKI was defined according to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. Risk factors were analyzed by multivariable logistic regression models. The log-rank test was used to compare long-term survival. Results: : Thirty-three (34.7%) patients developed AKI. The mortality in hospital in HTx patients with and without AKI were 21.21% and 6.45%, respectively (P<0.05). Recipients in AKI who required renal replacement therapy (RRT) had a hospital mortality rate of 43.75% compared to 6.45% in those without AKI or RRT (P<0.0001). A long cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time (OR:11.393, 95% CI: 2.183 to 59.465, P=0.0039) was positively related to the occurrence of AKI. A high intraoperative urine volume (OR: 0.031, 95% CI: 0.005 to 0.212, P=0.0004) was negatively correlated with AKI. AKI requiring RRT (OR, 11.348; 95% CI, 2.418-53.267, P=0.002) was a risk factor for mortality in hospital. Overall survival in patients without AKI at 1 and 3 years was not different from that in patients with AKI (P=0.096).Conclusions: AKI is common after HTx. AKI requiring RRT could contribute powerful prognostic information to predict mortality in hospital. A long CPB time and low intraoperative urine volume are associated with the occurrence of AKI.

Abstract Objectives This study aimed to identify the incidence rate of Acute kidney injury (AKI) in our center, assess risk factors for one-year mortality, and predict short- and long-term survival after heart transplantation (HTx). Methods This single-center, retrospective study from October 2009 to Jan 2020 analyzed the pre-, intra-, and postoperative characteristics of 87 patients who underwent HTx. AKI was defined according to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. Risk factors were analyzed by multivariable logistic regression models. The log-rank test was used to compare long-term survival. Results Twenty-six (36.1%) patients developed AKI. The one-year mortality rates in HTx patients with and without AKI were 26.92% and 10.87%, respectively (P > 0.05). Recipients who required renal replacement therapy (RRT) had a one-year mortality rate of 53.85% compared to 10.87% in those without AKI or RRT (P = 0.003). A long cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time (OR: 1.622, 95% CI: 1.014 to 2.595, P = 0.044) was positively related to the occurrence of AKI. A high intraoperative urine volume (OR: 0.566, 95% CI: 0.344 to 0.930, P = 0.025) was negatively correlated with AKI. AKI requiring RRT (HR, 6.402; 95% CI, 2.014–20.355, P = 0.002) was a risk factor for death. Overall survival in patients without AKI at 1, 3, and 5 years was higher than that in patients with AKI (P > 0.05). Conclusions AKI is common after HTx and adversely impacts early mortality. A long CPB time and low intraoperative urine volume maybe associated with the occurrence of AKI. AKI requiring RRT could contribute powerful prognostic information to predict short-term survival.

Acute kidney injury and renal failure are common after heart transplantation. We retrospectively reviewed a national cohort and identified 1129 heart transplant patients. Patients receiving renal replacement therapy after heart transplantation were grouped into the dialysis cohort. The long-term survival and risk factors of dialysis were investigated. Patients who had undergone dialysis were stratified to early or late dialysis for subgroup analysis. The mean follow-up was five years, the incidence of dialysis was 28.4% (21% early dialysis and 7.4% late dialysis). The dialysis cohort had higher overall mortality compared with the non-dialysis cohort. The hazard ratios of mortality in patients with dialysis were 3.44 (95% confidence interval (CI), 2.73–4.33) for all dialysis patients, 3.58 (95% CI, 2.74–4.67) for early dialysis patients, and 3.27 (95% CI, 2.44–4.36; all p < 0.001) for late dialysis patients. Patients with diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, and coronary artery disease were at higher risk of renal failure requiring dialysis. Cardiomyopathy, hepatitis B virus infection, and hyperlipidemia treated with statins were associated with a lower risk of renal dysfunction requiring early dialysis. The use of Sirolimus and Mycophenolate mofetil was associated with a lower incidence of late dialysis. Renal dysfunction requiring dialysis after heart transplantation is common in Taiwan. Early and late dialysis were both associated with an increased risk of mortality in heart transplant recipients.

Abstract Introduction: The incidence of AKI in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients ranges from 0.5 to 35% and has been associated with worse prognosis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence, severity, duration, risk factors and prognosis of AKI in hospitalized patients with COVID-19.Methods: We conducted a retrospective single-center analysis of 192 hospitalized COVID-19 patients from March to May of 2020. AKI was diagnosed using the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcome (KDIGO) classification based on serum creatinine (SCr) criteria. Persistent and Transient AKI were defined according to the Acute Disease Quality Initiative (ADQI) workgroup definitions.Results: In this cohort of COVID-19 patients, 55.2% developed AKI (n=106). The majority of AKI patients had persistent AKI (n=64, 60.4%). Overall, in-hospital mortality was 18.2% (n=35) and was higher in AKI patients (28.3% vs 5.9%, p<0.001, unadjusted OR 6.03 (2.22-16.37), p<0.001). On a multivariate analysis, older age (adjusted OR 1.08 (95% CI 1.02-1.13), p=0.004), lower Hb level (adjusted OR 0.69 (95% CI 0.53-0.91), p=0.007) and acidemia at presentation (adjusted OR 5.53 (95% CI 1.70-18.63), p=0.005), duration of AKI (adjusted OR 7.91 for persistent AKI (95% CI 2.39-26.21), p=0.001) and severity of AKI (adjusted OR 2.30 per increase in KDIGO stage (95% CI 1.10-4.82), p=0.027) were independent predictors of mortality.Conclusion: AKI was frequent in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Persistent AKI and higher severity of AKI were independent predictors of in-hospital mortality.

AbstractMalnutrition and acute kidney injury (AKI) are common complications in hospitalised patients, and both increase mortality; however, the relationship between them is unknown. This is a retrospective propensity score matching study enrolling 46 549 inpatients, aimed to investigate the association between Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002) and AKI and to assess the ability of NRS-2002 and AKI in predicting prognosis. In total, 37 190 (80 %) and 9359 (20 %) patients had NRS-2002 scores <3 and ≥3, respectively. Patients with NRS-2002 scores ≥3 had longer lengths of stay (12·6 (sd 7·8) v. 10·4 (sd 6·2) d, P < 0·05), higher mortality rates (9·6 v. 2·5 %, P < 0·05) and higher incidence of AKI (28 v. 16 %, P < 0·05) than patients with normal nutritional status. The NRS-2002 showed a strong association with AKI, that is, the risk of AKI changed in parallel with the score of the NRS-2002. In short- and long-term survival, patients with a lower NRS-2002 score or who did not have AKI achieved a significantly lower risk of mortality than those with a high NRS-2002 score or AKI. Univariate Cox regression analyses indicated that both the NRS-2002 and AKI were strongly related to long-term survival (AUC 0·79 and 0·71) and that the combination of the two showed better accuracy (AUC 0·80) than the individual variables. In conclusion, malnutrition can increase the risk of AKI and both AKI and malnutrition can worsen the prognosis that the undernourished patients who develop AKI yield far worse prognosis than patients with normal nutritional status.
