Aim: NGAL, IL-18, KIM-1 as well as urinary TIMP2 and IGFBP7 and their mathematical product (TIMP2*IGFBP7) were evaluated for detecting pediatric aminoglycoside acute kidney injury (AG-AKI). Methods: In a prospective study, noncritically ill children received aminoglycosides (AG) ≥3 days. The area under the curve (AUC) for biomarkers to detect AKI was calculated by a) days before AKI onset; b) treatment days. Results: There were 113 AG episodes (68% febrile neutropenia). The AKI group had a higher proportion with febrile neutropenia. The AKI group had significantly lower NGAL 3 days before AKI, as patients with febrile neutropenia had a lower NGAL during AG treatment (p < 0.05). NGAL, IL-18 and TIMP2*IGFBP7 had AUC ≥0.73 at 3, 2 and 2 days before AKI onset. Conclusion: NGAL, IL-18 and TIMP2*IGFBP7 were modest early biomarkers of AG-AKI. Febrile neutropenia was associated with lower NGAL.

This study aimed to evaluate the reduction in vancomycin through intermittent haemodialysis (IHD) and prolonged haemodialysis (PHD) in acute kidney injury (AKI) patients with sepsis and to identify the variables associated with subtherapeutic concentrations. A prospective study was performed in patients admitted at an intensive care unit (ICU) of a Brazilian hospital. Blood samples were collected at the start of dialytic therapy, after 2 and 4 h of treatment and at the end of therapy to determine the serum concentration of vancomycin and thus perform pharmacokinetic evaluation and PK/PD modelling. Twenty-seven patients treated with IHD, 17 treated with PHD for 6 h and 11 treated with PHD for 10 h were included. The reduction in serum concentrations of vancomycin after 2 h of therapy was 26.65 ± 12.64% and at the end of dialysis was 45.78 ± 12.79%, higher in the 10-h PHD group, 57.70% (40, 48–64, 30%) (p = 0.037). The ratio of the area under the curve to minimal inhibitory concentration (AUC/MIC) at 24 h in the PHD group was significantly smaller than at 10 h (p = 0.047). In the logistic regression, PHD was a risk factor for an AUC/MIC ratio less than 400 (OR = 11.59, p = 0.033), while a higher serum concentration of vancomycin at T0 was a protective factor (OR = 0.791, p = 0.009). In conclusion, subtherapeutic concentrations of vancomycin in acute kidney injury (AKI) patients in dialysis were elevated and may be related to a higher risk of bacterial resistance and mortality, besides pointing out the necessity of additional doses of vancomycin during dialytic therapy, mainly in PHD.
