We aimed to evaluate whether the duration and stage of acute kidney injury (AKI) are associated with the occurrence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients undergoing cardiac or thoracic aortic surgery. A total of 2009 cases were reviewed. The patients with postoperative AKI stage 1 and higher stage were divided into transient (serum creatinine elevation ≤48 h) or persistent (>48 h) AKI, respectively. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) values during three years after surgery were collected. Occurrence of new-onset CKD stage 3 or higher or all-cause mortality was determined as the primary outcome. Multivariable Cox regression and Kaplan–Meier survival analysis were performed. The Median follow-up of renal function after surgery was 32 months. The cumulative incidences of our primary outcome at one, two, and three years after surgery were 19.8, 23.7, and 26.1%. There was a graded significant association of AKI with new-onset CKD during three years after surgery, except for transient stage 1 AKI (persistent stage 1: HR 3.11, 95% CI 2.62–4.91; transient higher stage: HR 4.07, 95% CI 2.98–6.11; persistent higher stage: HR 13.36, 95% CI 8.22–18.72). There was a significant difference in survival between transient and persistent AKI at the same stage. During three years after cardiac surgery, there was a significant and graded association between AKI stages and the development of new-onset CKD, except for transient stage 1 AKI. This association was stronger when AKI lasted more than 48 h at the same stage. Both duration and severity of AKI provide prognostic value to predict the development of CKD.

AbstractPostoperative acute kidney injury (PO-AKI) is a common complication of major surgery that is strongly associated with short-term surgical complications and long-term adverse outcomes, including increased risk of chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular events and death. Risk factors for PO-AKI include older age and comorbid diseases such as chronic kidney disease and diabetes mellitus. PO-AKI is best defined as AKI occurring within 7 days of an operative intervention using the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) definition of AKI; however, additional prognostic information may be gained from detailed clinical assessment and other diagnostic investigations in the form of a focused kidney health assessment (KHA). Prevention of PO-AKI is largely based on identification of high baseline risk, monitoring and reduction of nephrotoxic insults, whereas treatment involves the application of a bundle of interventions to avoid secondary kidney injury and mitigate the severity of AKI. As PO-AKI is strongly associated with long-term adverse outcomes, some form of follow-up KHA is essential; however, the form and location of this will be dictated by the nature and severity of the AKI. In this Consensus Statement, we provide graded recommendations for AKI after non-cardiac surgery and highlight priorities for future research.

Abstract Background and Aims Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI) are common complications of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) associated with increased morbidity and mortality. On the other hand, presence of CKD is often used as an exclusion criterion when selecting patients who undergo HSCT, especially when fludarabine in conditioning or GVHD prophylaxis with a calcineurin inhibitor is contemplated. There is also no threshold (CKD stage, level of serum creatinine etc) below which patients should not undergo allogeneic HSCT. Kidney function in patients undergoing HSCT is frequently worsened by previous chemotherapy and exposure to a variety of nephrotoxic drugs. Several biomarkers were widely investigated for early diagnosis of acute kidney injury, including neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL), urinary liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (uL-FABP) and others, however, in patients undergoing HSCT, the published literature is exceptionally scarce. A few studies with inconclusive results stress the knowledge gap and need for further research. The aim of the study was to assess biomarkers of kidney injury in patients at least 3 months after HSCT (to avoid the effect of calcineurin inhibitors) under ambulatory care of Hematology, Oncology and Internal Medicine Department, University Teaching Hospital. Method We studied 80 prevalent patients after allogeneic HSCT and 32 healthy volunteers to obtained normal ranges for biomarkers. In this cross-sectional study following biomarkers of kidney injury in urine were evaluated: IGFBP-7/TIMP2 (insulin growth factor binding protein-7/, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2), netrin-1, semaphorin A2 using commercially available assays. Results All the biomarkers studied were significantly higher in patients after HSCT when compared to healthy volunteers (all p<0.001). When we divided patients according to kidney function (below and over 60 ml./min/1.72m2), we found that only concentration of IGFBP-7 was significantly higher in 23 patients with CKD stage 3 (i.e. eGFR below 60ml.min/1.72m2) relative to patients with eGFR over 60 ml.min.1.72m2. All biomarkers in both subgroups of patients with eGFR below and over 60 ml./min/1.72m2 were significantly higher relative to healthy volunteers. In univariate correlations sempahorinA2 was related to netrin 1 (r=0.47, p<0.001), IGFBP7 (r=0.35, p<0.01), TIMP2 (r=0.32, p<0.01), whereas IGFBP7 was positively related to serum creatinine (r=0.38, p<0.001) and inversely to eGFR (r=-0.36, p<0.001). Conclusion Concluding, patients after allogeneic HSCT despite normal or near normal kidney function show evidence of kidney injury, which might be due to comorbidities, previous chemotherapy, conditioning regimen,complement activation, calcineurin therapy after HSCT, other possible nephrotoxic drugs etc. Nephroprotective strategies are to be considered as chronic kidney disease is a risk factor for increased morbidity and mortality in this vulnerable population.

The term acute kidney injury (AKI) has replaced acute renal failure in contemporary medical literature. AKI denotes a rapid deterioration of kidney function within hours to weeks, resulting in the accumulation of nitrogenous metabolites in addition to fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base imbalances. The definition of AKI was refined to a 3-stage definition, with criteria for stage 1 as follows: 1) an absolute increase in serum creatinine (SCr) by at least 0.3 mg/dL from baseline within 48 hours; or 2) a relative increase in SCr to at least 1.5 times baseline within the past 7 days; or 3) urine output decreased to less than 0.5 mL/kg/h for 6 hours.
