Postoperative acute kidney injury is associated with hemoglobinemia and an enhanced oxidative stress response.

ABSTRACT: Acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently afflicts patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass and independently predicts death. Both hemoglobinemia and myoglobinemia are independent predictors of postoperative AKI. Release of free hemeproteins into the circulation is known to cause oxidative injury to the kidneys. This study tested the hypothesis that postoperative AKI is associated with both enhanced intraoperative hemeprotein release and increased lipid peroxidation assessed by measuring F?-isoprostanes and isofurans. In a case-control study nested within an ongoing randomized trial of perioperative statin treatment and AKI, we compared levels of F?-isoprostanes and isofurans with plasma levels of free hemoglobin and myoglobin in 10 cardiac surgery AKI patients to those of 10 risk-matched controls. Peak plasma free hemoglobin concentrations were significantly higher in AKI subjects (289.0 ± 37.8 versus 104.4 ± 36.5mg/dl, P = 0.01), whereas plasma myoglobin concentrations were similar between groups. The change in plasma F?-isoprostane and isofuran levels (repeated-measures ANOVA, P = 0.02 and P = 0.001, respectively) as well as the change in urine isofuran levels (P = 0.04) was significantly greater in AKI subjects. In addition, change in peak plasma isofuran levels correlated not only with peak free plasma hemoglobin concentrations (r² = 0.39, P = 0.001) but also with peak change in serum creatinine (r² = 0.20, P = 0.01). Postoperative AKI is associated with both enhanced intraoperative hemeprotein release and enhanced lipid peroxidation. The correlations among hemoglobinemia, lipid peroxidation, and AKI indicate a potential role for hemeprotein-induced oxidative damage in the pathogenesis of postoperative AKI.

Project description:BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:High BP variability may cause AKI because of inappropriate kidney perfusion. This study aimed to investigate the association between intraoperative BP variability and postoperative AKI in patients who underwent noncardiac surgery. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS:We performed a cohort study of adults undergoing noncardiac surgery in hospitals in South Korea. We studied three cohorts using the following recording windows for intraoperative BP: discovery cohort, 1-minute intervals; first validation cohort, 5-minute intervals; and second validation cohort, 2-second intervals. We calculated four variability parameters (SD, coefficient of variation, variation independent of mean, and average real variability) based on the measured mean arterial pressure values. The primary outcomes were postoperative AKI (defined by the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes serum creatinine cutoffs) and critical AKI (consisting of stage 2 or higher AKI and post-AKI death or dialysis within 90 days). RESULTS:In the three cohorts, 45,520, 29,704, and 7435 patients were analyzed, each with 2230 (443 critical), 1552 (444 critical), and 300 (91 critical) postoperative AKI events, respectively. In the discovery cohort, all variability parameters were significantly associated with risk of AKI, even after adjusting for intraoperative hypotension. For example, average real variability was associated with higher risks of postoperative AKI (adjusted odds ratio, 1.13 per 1 SD increment; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.19) and critical AKI (adjusted odds ratio, 1.13 per 1 SD increment; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.26). Associations were evident predominantly among patients who also experienced intraoperative hypotension. In the validation analysis with 5-minute-interval BP records, all four variability parameters were associated with the risk of postoperative AKI or critical AKI. In the validation cohort with 2-second-interval BP records, average real variability was the only significant variability parameter. CONCLUSIONS:Higher intraoperative BP variability is associated with higher risks of postoperative AKI after noncardiac surgery, independent of hypotension and other clinical characteristics.
