Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a commonly recognized clinical problem after many morbid conditions related to heart like congenital heart disease surgery, acute or chronic congestive heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, infective endocarditis or cardiomyopathies. Cardio-renal syndrome (CRS) includes a spectrum of disorders involving both the heart and kidneys simultaneously; here acute or chronic dysfunction in one organ may induce acute or chronic dysfunction in the other. Objectives: To report here, case series of patients with AKI developing in association with CRS. We aim to report different causes of CRS and outcome of patients in this group of patients. Patients and Methods: Subjects for the study reported here comprised a cohort of 34 patients coming to this institution with AKI in association of CRS. AKI was defined according to KDIGO guidelines and CRS based on consensus conference of ADQI in 2012. Type 1or type2 CRS are included in the study. All patients had normal size kidneys on ultrasonography. Results: Thirty-four patients with AKI and CRS were brought to this institute from January 1990 to December 2014; this was contributing 1% to medical causes of total AKI. Among these 25 were males and 9 females; mean age of these patients was 54.06±14.106 years. Causes of CRS were acute myocardial infarction (ST elevated), congestive cardiac failure, infective endocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy. More than two third of patients were either oliguric or anuric on presentation. Fluid replacement and/or inotropic support required in 79%. Renal replacement therapy in form of hemodialysis was conducted in 64.7% and intermittent peritoneal dialysis in one patient. Complete renal recovery was observed in 19 (56%) patients, while 12 (35%) died during acute phase of illness. CKD-V developed in one patient, 2 patients lost long term follow up, but became dialysis free and renal functions were in improving trends, they were labeled as partial recovery. Secondary insults like hypotension, aggressive diuresis, and volume loss from gastro-intestinal tract or infection were evaluated for any co-relation with outcome but statistically no significant difference was found. Conclusion: CRS can be severe life-threatening condition especially when patients present with circulatory collapse. Diuretics must be used cautiously in patients with congestive cardiac failure. Infective endocarditis with acute right heart failure can lead to CRS.

Abstract Background Acute hyperglycemia has been recognized as a robust predictor for occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in nondiabetic patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), however, its discriminatory ability for AKI is unclear in diabetic patients after an AMI. Here, we investigated whether stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR), a novel index with the combined evaluation of acute and chronic glycemic levels, may have a better predictive value of AKI as compared with admission glycemia alone in diabetic patients following AMI. Methods SHR was calculated with admission blood glucose (ABG) divided by the glycated hemoglobin-derived estimated average glucose. A total of 1215 diabetic patients with AMI were enrolled and divided according to SHR tertiles. Baseline characteristics and outcomes were compared. The primary endpoint was AKI and secondary endpoints included all-cause death and cardiogenic shock during hospitalization. The logistic regression analysis was performed to identify potential risk factors. Accuracy was defined with area under the curve (AUC) by a receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results In AMI patients with diabetes, the incidence of AKI (4.4%, 7.8%, 13.0%; p < 0.001), all-cause death (2.7%, 3.6%, 6.4%; p = 0.027) and cardiogenic shock (4.9%, 7.6%, 11.6%; p = 0.002) all increased with the rising tertile levels of SHR. After multivariate adjustment, elevated SHR was significantly associated with an increased risk of AKI (odds ratio 3.18, 95% confidence interval: 1.99–5.09, p < 0.001) while ABG was no longer a risk factor of AKI. The SHR was also strongly related to the AKI risk in subgroups of patients. At ROC analysis, SHR accurately predicted AKI in overall (AUC 0.64) and a risk model consisted of SHR, left ventricular ejection fraction, N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) yielded a superior predictive value (AUC 0.83) for AKI. Conclusion The novel index SHR is a better predictor of AKI and in-hospital mortality and morbidity than admission glycemia in AMI patients with diabetes.

Background. Accumulating evidence suggests that inflammation plays a key role in acute kidney injury (AKI) pathogenesis. We explored the relationship between high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and AKI in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods. We prospectively included 2,063 AMI patients in whom hs-CRP was measured at admission. AKI incidence and a clinical composite of in-hospital death, cardiogenic shock, and acute pulmonary edema were the study endpoints. Results. Two-hundred-thirty-four (11%) patients developed AKI. hs-CRP levels were higher in AKI patients (45 ± 87 vs. 16 ± 41 mg/L; p < 0.0001). The incidence and severity of AKI, as well as the rate of the composite endpoint, increased in parallel with hs-CRP quartiles (p for trend <0.0001 for all comparisons). A significant correlation was found between hs-CRP and the maximal increase of serum creatinine (R = 0.23; p < 0.0001). The AUC of hs-CRP for AKI prediction was 0.69 (p < 0.001). At reclassification analysis, addition of hs-CRP allowed to properly reclassify 14% of patients when added to creatinine and 8% of patients when added to a clinical model. Conclusions. In AMI, admission hs-CRP is closely associated with AKI development and severity, and with in-hospital outcomes. Future research should focus on whether prophylactic renal strategies in patients with high hs-CRP might prevent AKI and improve outcome.
