In the present study, we investigated the association of 12 polymorphisms in six inflammatory-response genes (<i>TNF, IL6, IL10, IL18, NFKB1</i> and <i>NFKBIA</i>) with risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) in children. The polymorphisms were genotyped in 1138 children with AKI and 1382 non-AKI controls. Logistic regression analysis was performed to calculate the odds ratio for estimating the risk association. After accounting for Bonferroni correction and adjustment for potential confounders, signi ...[more]

Project description:BACKGROUND:Despite the significant healthcare impact of acute kidney injury, little is known regarding prevention. Single-center data have implicated hypotension in developing postoperative acute kidney injury. The generalizability of this finding and the interaction between hypotension and baseline patient disease burden remain unknown. The authors sought to determine whether the association between intraoperative hypotension and acute kidney injury varies by preoperative risk. METHODS:Major noncardiac surgical procedures performed on adult patients across eight hospitals between 2008 and 2015 were reviewed. Derivation and validation cohorts were used, and cases were stratified into preoperative risk quartiles based upon comorbidities and surgical procedure. After preoperative risk stratification, associations between intraoperative hypotension and acute kidney injury were analyzed. Hypotension was defined as the lowest mean arterial pressure range achieved for more than 10 min; ranges were defined as absolute (mmHg) or relative (percentage of decrease from baseline). RESULTS:Among 138,021 cases reviewed, 12,431 (9.0%) developed postoperative acute kidney injury. Major risk factors included anemia, estimated glomerular filtration rate, surgery type, American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status, and expected anesthesia duration. Using such factors and others for risk stratification, patients with low baseline risk demonstrated no associations between intraoperative hypotension and acute kidney injury. Patients with medium risk demonstrated associations between severe-range intraoperative hypotension (mean arterial pressure less than 50 mmHg) and acute kidney injury (adjusted odds ratio, 2.62; 95% CI, 1.65 to 4.16 in validation cohort). In patients with the highest risk, mild hypotension ranges (mean arterial pressure 55 to 59 mmHg) were associated with acute kidney injury (adjusted odds ratio, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.16 to 1.56). Compared with absolute hypotension, relative hypotension demonstrated weak associations with acute kidney injury not replicable in the validation cohort. CONCLUSIONS:Adult patients undergoing noncardiac surgery demonstrate varying associations with distinct levels of hypotension when stratified by preoperative risk factors. Specific levels of absolute hypotension, but not relative hypotension, are an important independent risk factor for acute kidney injury.

Project description:ObjectiveTo determine the relationship between obesity and the risk of AKI after cardiac surgery (CS-AKI) in a cohort study.MethodsA total of 1,601 patients undergoing cardiac surgery were collected and their incidence of CS-AKI was recorded. They were divided into underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese groups. Logistic regression was used to estimate the association between BMI (body mass index) and CS-AKI risk. Then, a meta-analysis of published cohort studies was conducted to confirm this result using PubMed and Embase databases.ResultsA significant association was observed in this independent cohort after adjusting age, gender, hypertension and New York Heart Association classification (NYHA) class. Compared with normal BMI group (18.5 ≤ BMI < 24.0), the individuals with aberrant BMI level had an increased AKI risk (OR: 1.68, 95% CI: 1.01-2.78) for BMI < 18.5 group and (OR: 1.43, 95% CI: 0.96-2.15) for BMI ≥ 28.0. Interestingly, the U-shape curve showed the CS-AKI risk reduced with the increasing of BMI when BMI ≤ 24.0. As BMI increases with BMI > 24.0, the risk of developing CS-AKI increased significantly. In the confirmed meta-analysis, compared with normal weight, overweight group with cardiac surgery had higher AKI risk (OR: 1.28, 95% CI: 1.16-1.41, P heterogeneity = 0.49). The similar association was found in obesity subgroup (OR: 1.79, 95% CI: 1.57-2.03, P heterogeneity = 0.42).ConclusionIn conclusion, the results suggested that abnormal BMI was a risk factor for CS-AKI independently.

Project description:Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) is a common risk factor that causes acute kidney injury (AKI). AKI is associated with dysfunction of other organs also known as distant organ injury. The liver function is often compromised in patients with AKI and in animal models. However, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Inflammatory response plays an important role in IR-induced tissue injury. Although increased proinflammatory cytokines have been detected in the kidney and the distant organs after renal IR, their original sources remain uncertain. In the present study, we investigated the acute effect of renal IR on hepatic inflammatory cytokine expression and the mechanism involved. Sprague-Dawley rats that were subjected to renal IR (ischemia for 45 min followed by reperfusion for 1 h or 6 h) had increased plasma levels of creatinine, urea, and transaminases, indicating kidney and liver injuries. There was a significant increase in the expression of proinflammatory cytokine mRNA (MCP-1, TNF-α, IL-6) in the kidney and liver in rats with renal IR. This was accompanied by a significant increase in proinflammatory cytokine protein levels in the plasma, kidney, and liver. Activation of a nuclear transcription factor kappa B (NF-κB) was detected in the liver after renal IR. The inflammatory foci and an increased myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity were detected in the liver after renal IR, indicating hepatic inflammatory response and leukocyte infiltration. These results suggest that renal IR can directly activate NF-κB and induce acute production of proinflammatory cytokines in the liver. Renal IR-induced hepatic inflammatory response may contribute to impaired liver function and systemic inflammation.

Project description:Inflammation represents an important event which facilitates prostate carcinogenesis. Genetic variations in inflammatory response genes could affect the level and function of the protein products, resulting in the differential prostate cancer risk among carriers of different variants. This study attempted to investigate the association of IL-4 rs2243250, IL-6 rs10499563, IL-8 rs4073, as well as NFKBIA rs2233406 and rs3138053 polymorphisms with prostate cancer risk in the Chinese population. Genotyping of the polymorphisms was performed by using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique on 439 prostate cancer patients and 524 controls, and the association of each polymorphic genotype with prostate cancer risk was evaluated by using logistic regression analysis based on allele, heterozygous, and homozygous comparison models, with adjustment to age and smoking status. We showed that the C allele of IL-4 rs2243250 polymorphism could increase prostate cancer risk (heterozygous comparison model: odds ratio [OR] =1.434, 95% confidence interval [CI] =1.092-1.881, P=0.009; homozygous comparison model: OR =2.301, 95% CI =1.402-3.775, P=0.001; allele comparison model: OR =1.509, 95% CI =1.228-1.853, P<0.001). On the other hand, the C allele of rs10499563 polymorphism could decrease prostate cancer risk (heterozygous comparison model: OR =0.694, 95% CI =0.525-0.918, P=0.010; homozygous comparison model: OR =0.499, 95% CI =0.269-0.926, P=0.028; allele comparison model: OR =0.692, 95% CI =0.553-0.867, P=0.001). No association was observed for the other polymorphisms. In conclusion, IL-4 rs2243250 and IL-6 rs10499563 polymorphisms could serve as potential predictive biomarkers for prostate cancer risk in the Chinese population.

Project description:BackgroundWe aimed to evaluate prevalence of acute kidney injury (AKI) and its risk factors in children hospitalized for acute gastroenteritis (AGE) to identify early predictors of AKI.MethodsWe retrospectively collected clinical and biochemical data of 114 children (57.9% male; mean age 2.9 ± 2.8 years) hospitalized for AGE. AKI was defined according to Kidney Disease/Improving Global Outcomes creatinine criteria. We considered basal serum creatinine as value of creatinine estimated with Hoste (age) equation assuming basal eGFRs were median age-based eGFR normative values for children ≤ 2 years of age, and eGFR 120 mL/min/1.73m2 for children > 2 years. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to explore associations with AKI. We included in multivariate analyses only variables with significant p after Bonferroni correction.ResultsAKI was found in 28/114 (24.6%) patients. No patients required hemodialysis, 2 (1.8%) reached AKI stage 3, 2 (1.8%) AKI stage 2, and 24 (21.0%) AKI stage 1. Mean length of stay was 3.6 ± 1.2, 5.0 ± 1.8, and 10.5 ± 5.8 days, for patients with no, mild, and severe AKI (p < 0.001), respectively. Duration of symptoms before hospitalization (OR = 2.5; 95% CI = 1.3-5.0; p = 0.006), dehydration > 5% (OR = 43.1; 95% CI = 5.4-344.1; p = < 0.001), and serum bicarbonate levels (OR = 1.6; 95% CI = 1.2-2.1; p = 0.001) were independent predictors of AKI.ConclusionsAbout one quarter of patients hospitalized for AGE may suffer from AKI with a longer stay for patients with more severe AKI. Particular attention, however, should be paid to volemia and kidney health of patients with AGE especially in the presence of increased duration of symptoms before hospitalization, dehydration, and lower serum bicarbonate levels.

Project description:ObjectivesAcute kidney injury is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in critically ill children. A growing body of evidence has shown that acute kidney injury affects immune function, yet little is known about the association between acute kidney injury and subsequent infection in pediatric patients. Our objective was to examine the association of non-septic acute kidney injury with the development of subsequent sepsis in critically ill children.DesignA single-center retrospective cohort study.SettingThe pediatric and cardiac ICUs at a tertiary pediatric care center.PatientsAll patients 0-18 years old without a history of chronic kidney disease, who did not have sepsis prior to or within the initial 48 hours of ICU admission.InterventionsNone.Measurements and main resultsWe analyzed data for 5,538 children (median age, 5.3 yr; 58.2% male), and identified 255 (4.6%) with stage 2 or 3 acute kidney injury. Suspected sepsis occurred in 46 children (18%) with stage 2 or 3 acute kidney injury compared to 286 children (5.4%) with stage 1 or no acute kidney injury. On adjusted analysis, children with stage 2 or 3 acute kidney injury had 2.05 times greater odds of developing sepsis compared to those with stage 1 or no acute kidney injury (95% CI, 1.39-3.03; p < 0.001). Looking at acute kidney injury severity, children with stage 2 and 3 acute kidney injury had a 1.79-fold (95% CI, 1.15-2.79; p = 0.01) and 3.24-fold (95% CI, 1.55-6.80; p = 0.002) increased odds of developing suspected sepsis, respectively.ConclusionsAcute kidney injury is associated with an increased risk for subsequent infection in critically ill children. These results further support the concept of acute kidney injury as a clinically relevant immunocompromised state.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:To determine whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in FAS and related genes are associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). METHODS:We studied 401 (Caucasian N = 310 and African-American N = 91) patients aged ? 13 years with ALI who enrolled in the Fluid and Catheter Treatment Trial (FACTT) between 2000 and 2005 from 20 North American centers. We genotyped 367 SNPs in 45 genes of the Fas/Fas ligand pathway to identify associations between SNPs in Fas pathway genes and the development of AKI by day 2 after enrollment in FACTT, adapting Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) criteria. Written informed consent was obtained from participants or legally authorized surrogates in the original FACTT study and available to use for secondary analysis. RESULTS:In Caucasian patients, we identified associations between two SNPs and the incidence of AKI (stage 1 and above): rs1050851 and rs2233417; both are found within the gene for nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells inhibitor, alpha (NFKBIA). For rs1050851 and rs2233417, the odds ratios (ORs) were 2.34 (95 % confidence interval (CI) = 1.58-3.46, p = 1.06 × 10(-5), FDR = 0.003) and 2.46 (CI = 1.61-3.76, p = 1.81 × 10(-5), FDR = 0.003) for each minor allele, respectively. The associations were stronger still for AKIN stage 2-3 with respective ORs 4.00 (CI = 2.10-7.62, p = 1.05 × 10(-5), FDR = 0.003) and 4.03 (CI = 2.09-7.77, p = 1.88 × 10(-5), FDR = 0.003) for each minor allele homozygote. We observed no significant association between these SNPs and AKI in the smaller subset of African Americans. CONCLUSION:In Caucasian patients with ALI, the presence of minor alleles in two SNPs in NFKBIA was strongly associated with the development of AKI. TRIAL REGISTRATION:NCT00281268 .

Project description:ImportanceProteinuria indicates renal dysfunction and is a risk factor for morbidity among medical patients, but less is understood among surgical populations. There is a paucity of studies investigating how preoperative proteinuria is associated with surgical outcomes, including postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) and readmission.ObjectiveTo assess preoperative urine protein levels as a biomarker for adverse surgical outcomes.Design, setting, and participantsA retrospective, population-based study was conducted in a cohort of patients with and without known preoperative renal dysfunction undergoing elective inpatient surgery performed at 119 Veterans Affairs facilities from October 1, 2007, to September 30, 2014. Data analysis was conducted from April 4 to December 1, 2016. Preoperative dialysis, septic, cardiac, ophthalmology, transplantation, and urologic cases were excluded.ExposuresPreoperative proteinuria as assessed by urinalysis using the closest value within 6 months of surgery: negative (0 mg/dL), trace (15-29 mg/dL), 1+ (30-100 mg/dL), 2+ (101-300 mg/dL), 3+ (301-1000 mg/dL), and 4+ (>1000 mg/dL).Main outcomes and measuresPrimary outcome was postoperative predischarge AKI and 30-day postdischarge unplanned readmission. Secondary outcomes included any 30-day postoperative outcome.ResultsOf 346?676 surgeries, 153?767 met inclusion criteria, with the majority including orthopedic (37%), general (29%), and vascular procedures (14%). Evidence of proteinuria was shown in 43.8% of the population (trace: 20.6%, 1+: 16.0%, 2+: 5.5%, 3+: 1.6%) with 20.4%, 14.9%, 4.3%, and 0.9%, respectively, of the patients having a normal preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). In unadjusted analysis, preoperative proteinuria was significantly associated with postoperative AKI (negative: 8.6%, trace: 12%, 1+: 14.5%, 2+: 21.2%, 3+: 27.6%; P?<?.001) and readmission (9.3%, 11.3%, 13.3%, 15.8%, 17.5%, respectively, P?<?.001). After adjustment, preoperative proteinuria was associated with postoperative AKI in a dose-dependent relationship (trace: odds ratio [OR], 1.2; 95% CI, 1.1-1.3, to 3+: OR, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.8-2.2) and 30-day unplanned readmission (trace: OR, 1.0; 95% CI, 1.0-1.1, to 3+: OR, 1.3; 95% CI, 1.1-1.4). Preoperative proteinuria was associated with AKI independent of eGFR.Conclusions and relevanceProteinuria was associated with postoperative AKI and 30-day unplanned readmission independent of preoperative eGFR. Simple urine assessment for proteinuria may identify patients at higher risk of AKI and readmission to guide perioperative management.

Project description:ImportanceAcute kidney injury (AKI) occurs commonly during diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in children, but the underlying mechanisms and associations are unclear.ObjectiveTo investigate risk factors for AKI and its association with neurocognitive outcomes in pediatric DKA.Design, setting, and participantsThis cohort study was a secondary analysis of data from the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network Fluid Therapies Under Investigation in DKA Study, a prospective, multicenter, randomized clinical trial comparing fluid protocols for pediatric DKA in 13 US hospitals. Included DKA episodes occurred among children age younger than 18 years with blood glucose 300 mg/dL or greater and venous pH less than 7.25 or serum bicarbonate level less than 15 mEq/L.ExposuresDKA requiring intravenous insulin therapy.Main outcomes and measuresAKI occurrence and stage were assessed using serum creatinine measurements using Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria. DKA episodes with and without AKI were compared using univariable and multivariable methods, exploring associated factors.ResultsAmong 1359 DKA episodes (mean [SD] patient age, 11.6 [4.1] years; 727 [53.5%] girls; 651 patients [47.9%] with new-onset diabetes), AKI occurred in 584 episodes (43%; 95% CI, 40%-46%). A total of 252 AKI events (43%; 95% CI, 39%-47%) were stage 2 or 3. Multivariable analyses identified older age (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] per 1 year, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.00-1.09; P = .03), higher initial serum urea nitrogen (AOR per 1 mg/dL increase, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.11-1.18; P < .001), higher heart rate (AOR for 1-SD increase in z-score, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.09-1.32; P < .001), higher glucose-corrected sodium (AOR per 1 mEq/L increase, 1.03; 95% CI, 1.00-1.06; P = .001) and glucose concentrations (AOR per 100 mg/dL increase, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.07-1.32; P = .001), and lower pH (AOR per 0.1 increase, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.51-0.78; P < .001) as variables associated with AKI. Children with AKI, compared with those without, had lower scores on tests of short-term memory during DKA (mean [SD] digit span recall: 6.8 [2.4] vs 7.6 [2.2]; P = .02) and lower mean (SD) IQ scores 3 to 6 months after recovery from DKA (100.0 [12.2] vs 103.5 [13.2]; P = .005). Differences persisted after adjusting for DKA severity and demographic factors, including socioeconomic status.Conclusions and relevanceThese findings suggest that AKI may occur more frequently in children with greater acidosis and circulatory volume depletion during DKA and may be part of a pattern of multiple organ injury involving the kidneys and brain.

Project description:RationaleAcute kidney injury is a common and severe complication of critical illness and cardiac surgery. Despite significant attempts at developing treatments, therapeutic advances to attenuate acute kidney injury and expedite recovery have largely failed.ObjectivesIdentifying genetic loci associated with increased risk of acute kidney injury may reveal novel pathways for therapeutic development.MethodsWe conducted an exploratory genome-wide association study to identify single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with genetic susceptibility to in-hospital acute kidney injury.Measurements and main resultsWe genotyped 609,508 single-nucleotide polymorphisms and performed genotype imputation in 760 acute kidney injury cases and 669 controls. We then evaluated polymorphisms that showed the strongest association with acute kidney injury in a replication patient population containing 206 cases with 1,406 controls. We observed an association between acute kidney injury and four single-nucleotide polymorphisms at two independent loci on metaanalysis of discovery and replication populations. These include rs62341639 (metaanalysis P = 2.48 × 10-7; odds ratio [OR], 0.64; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.55-0.76) and rs62341657 (P = 3.26 × 10-7; OR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.55-0.76) on chromosome 4 near APOL1-regulator IRF2, and rs9617814 (metaanalysis P = 3.81 × 10-6; OR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.60-0.81) and rs10854554 (P = 6.53 × 10-7; OR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.57-0.79) on chromosome 22 near acute kidney injury-related gene TBX1.ConclusionsOur findings reveal two genetic loci that are associated with acute kidney injury. Additional studies should be conducted to functionally evaluate these loci and to identify other common genetic variants contributing to acute kidney injury.
