ABSTRACT: Rationale
Urinary tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) can predict AKI in patients with sepsis.Objectives
Since most sepsis patients present with AKI, critical questions are whether biomarkers can inform on the response to treatment and whether they might be used to guide therapy.Methods
We measured [TIMP-2]•[IGFBP7] before and after a 6-hour resuscitation in 688 patients with septic shock enrolled in the ProCESS trial. Our primary endpoint was stage 3 AKI, renal replacement therapy or death within 7 days.Measurements and main results
The endpoint was reached in 113 patients (16.4%). In patients with negative [TIMP-2]•[IGFBP7] at baseline, those who became positive (>0.3 units) after resuscitation had 3-times higher risk compared to those who remained negative (21.8% vs 8.5%, p=0.01; OR 3.0, 95%CI 1.31-6.87). Conversely, compared to patients with a positive biomarker at baseline that were still positive at hour 6, risk was reduced for patients who became negative (23.8% vs 9.8%, p=0.01; OR 2.15, 95%CI 1.17-3.95). A positive [TIMP-2]•[IGFBP7] following resuscitation was associated with worse outcomes in both patients with and without AKI at that time point. Clinical response to resuscitation, as judged by APACHE II score, was weakly predictive of the endpoint (AUC 0.68, 95%CI 0.62-0.73) and improved with addition of [TIMP-2]•[IGFBP7] (0.72, 95%CI 0.66-0.77 p=0.03). Different resuscitation protocols did not alter biomarker trajectories, nor outcomes in biomarker positive or negative patients. However, biomarker trajectories were associated with outcome.Conclusions
Changes in urinary [TIMP-2]•[IGFBP7] following initial fluid resuscitation identify sepsis patients with differing risk for progression of AKI. Clinical trial registration available at www.clinicaltrials.gov, ID: NCT00510835.
