Kidney injury biomarkers 5 years after AKI due to pediatric cardiac surgery.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:We previously reported that children undergoing cardiac surgery are at high risk for long-term chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hypertension, although postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is not a risk factor for worse long-term kidney outcomes. We report here our evaluation of renal injury biomarkers 5 years after cardiac surgery to determine whether they are associated with postoperative AKI or long-term CKD and hypertension. METHODS:Children aged 1 month to 18 years old undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass were recruited to this prospective cohort study. At 5 years after cardiac surgery, we measured urine interleukin-18, kidney injury molecule-1, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, YKL-40, and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL). Biomarker levels were compared between patients with AKI and those without. We also performed a cross-sectional analysis of the association between these biomarkers with CKD and hypertension. RESULTS:Of the 305 subjects who survived hospitalization, four (1.3%) died after discharge, and 110 (36%) participated in the 5-year follow-up. Of these 110 patients, 49 (45%) had AKI. Patients with versus those without postoperative AKI did not have significantly different biomarker concentrations at 5 years after cardiac surgery. None of the biomarker concentrations were associated with CKD or hypertension at 5 years of follow-up, although CKD and hypertension were associated with a higher proportion of participants with abnormal NGAL levels. CONCLUSIONS:Postoperative pediatric AKI is not associated with urinary kidney injury biomarkers 5 years after surgery. This may represent a lack of chronic renal injury after AKI, imprecise estimation of the glomerular filtration rate, the need for longer follow-up to detect chronic renal damage, or that our studied biomarkers are inadequate for evaluating subclinical chronic renal injury.

Project description:Importance:Acute kidney injury (AKI) after pediatric cardiac surgery is associated with high short-term morbidity and mortality; however, the long-term kidney outcomes are unclear. Objective:To assess long-term kidney outcomes after pediatric cardiac surgery and to determine if perioperative AKI is associated with worse long-term kidney outcomes. Design, Setting, and Participants:This prospective multicenter cohort study recruited children between ages 1 month to 18 years who underwent cardiopulmonary bypass for cardiac surgery and survived hospitalization from 3 North American pediatric centers between July 2007 and December 2009. Children were followed up with telephone calls and an in-person visit at 5 years after their surgery. Exposures:Acute kidney injury defined as a postoperative serum creatinine rise from preoperative baseline by 50% or 0.3 mg/dL or more during hospitalization for cardiac surgery. Main Outcomes and Measures:Hypertension (blood pressure ?95th percentile for height, age, sex, or self-reported hypertension), microalbuminuria (urine albumin to creatinine ratio >30 mg/g), and chronic kidney disease (serum creatinine estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] <90 mL/min/1.73 m2 or microalbuminuria). Results:Overall, 131 children (median [interquartile range] age, 7.7 [5.9-9.9] years) participated in the 5-year in-person follow-up visit; 68 children (52%) were male. Fifty-seven of 131 children (44%) had postoperative AKI. At follow-up, 22 children (17%) had hypertension (10 times higher than the published general pediatric population prevalence), while 9 (8%), 13 (13%), and 1 (1%) had microalbuminuria, an eGFR less than 90 mL/min/1.73 m2, and an eGFR less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, respectively. Twenty-one children (18%) had chronic kidney disease. Only 5 children (4%) had been seen by a nephrologist during follow-up. There was no significant difference in renal outcomes between children with and without postoperative AKI. Conclusions and Relevance:Chronic kidney disease and hypertension are common 5 years after pediatric cardiac surgery. Perioperative AKI is not associated with these complications. Longer follow-up is needed to ascertain resolution or worsening of chronic kidney disease and hypertension.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:To understand the effect of tight glycemic control on cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury. DESIGN:Secondary analysis of data from the Safe Pediatric Euglycemia after Cardiac Surgery trial of tight glycemic control versus standard care. SETTING:Pediatric cardiac ICUs at University of Michigan, C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, and Boston Children's Hospital. PATIENTS:Children 0-36 months old undergoing congenital cardiac surgery. INTERVENTIONS:None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury was assigned using the Acute Kidney Injury Network criteria with the modification that a greater than 0.1?mg/dL increase in serum creatinine was required to assign cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury. We explored associations between cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury and tight glycemic control and clinical outcomes. Of 799 patients studied, cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury occurred in 289 patients (36%), most of whom had stage II or III disease (72%). Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury rates were similar between treatment groups (36% vs 36%; p = 0.99). Multivariable modeling showed that patients with cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury were younger (p = 0.002), underwent more complex surgery (p = 0.005), and had longer cardiopulmonary bypass times (p = 0.002). Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury was associated with longer mechanical ventilation and ICU and hospital stays and increased mortality. Patients at University of Michigan had higher rates of cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury compared with Boston Children's Hospital patients (66% vs 15%; p < 0.001), but University of Michigan patients with cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury had shorter time to extubation and ICU and hospital stays compared with Boston Children's Hospital patients. CONCLUSIONS:Tight glycemic control did not reduce the cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury rate in this trial cohort. We observed significant differences in cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury rates between the two study sites, and there was a differential effect of cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury on clinical outcomes by site. These findings warrant further investigation to identify causal variation in perioperative practices that affect cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury epidemiology.

Project description:Background:Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. We examined the utility of combining biomarkers of kidney function loss (serum cystatin C) and kidney tubular damage (urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin [NGAL] and Kidney Injury Molecule-1 [KIM-1]) for the prediction of post-cardiac surgery AKI. Methods:Single-center prospective cohort study of 106 adults undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting and/or valve surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Primary outcome was postoperative in-hospital AKI defined by serum creatinine (SCr)-Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria. Biomarkers were measured preoperatively, 6 hours after CPB and on postoperative days (PODs) 1 to 4. Results:A total of 23 subjects (21.7%) developed AKI. After adjusting for preoperative left ventricular ejection fraction, body mass index >30 kg/m2, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 ml/min per 1.73 m2, the combination of peak serum cystatin C and peak urine KIM-1/creatinine (Cr) (6 hours post-CPB to POD 1) above optimal cutoff significantly associated with postoperative AKI (odds ratio [OR]: 5.32; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.31-21.67; P = 0.020). This biomarker combination significantly improved the performance of the clinical model for the prediction of postoperative AKI (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.77, 95% CI: 0.65-0.90 for the clinical model alone versus 0.83, 95% CI: 0.73-0.93 for the clinical model with the addition of biomarker data, P = 0.049). Conclusions:Combining biomarkers of postoperative kidney function loss and postoperative kidney tubular damage significantly improved prediction of in-hospital AKI following cardiac surgery. Future large, multicenter studies are warranted to assess whether panels of biomarkers reflecting distinct pathobiology can be used to guide interventions and improve short- and long-term outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
