Project description:Acute kidney injury (AKI) is considered largely reversible based on the capacity of surviving tubular cells to dedifferentiate and replace lost cells via cell division. Here we show by tracking individual tubular cells in conditional Pax8/Confetti mice that kidney function is recovered after AKI despite substantial tubular cell loss. Cell cycle and ploidy analysis upon AKI in conditional Pax8/FUCCI2aR mice and human biopsies identify endocycle-mediated hypertrophy of tubular cells. By contrast, a small subset of Pax2+ tubular progenitors enriches via higher stress resistance and clonal expansion and regenerates necrotic tubule segments, a process that can be enhanced by suitable drugs. Thus, renal functional recovery upon AKI involves remnant tubular cell hypertrophy via endocycle and limited progenitor-driven regeneration that can be pharmacologically enhanced.

Project description:IntroductionSurvivors of acute kidney injury (AKI) are at high risk of progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD), for which drugs may be a modifiable risk factor.MethodsWe conducted a population-based cohort study of Olmsted County, MN residents who developed AKI while hospitalized between January 1, 2006, and December 31, 2014, using Rochester Epidemiology Project data. Adults with a hospitalization complicated by AKI who survived at least 90 days after AKI development were included. Medical records were queried for prescription of potentially nephrotoxic medications over the 3 years after discharge. The primary outcome was de novo or progressive CKD defined by either a new diagnosis code for CKD or ≥30% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate from baseline. The composite of CKD, AKI readmission, or death was also evaluated.ResultsAmong 2,461 AKI survivors, 2,140 (87%) received a potentially nephrotoxic medication during the 3 years following discharge. When nephrotoxic medication use was analyzed in a time-dependent fashion, those actively prescribed at least one of these drugs experienced a significantly higher risk of de novo or progressive CKD (HR 1.38: 95% CI: 1.24, 1.54). Similarly, active potentially nephrotoxic medication use predicted a greater risk of the composite endpoint of CKD, AKI readmission, or death within 3 years of discharge (HR 1.41: 95% CI: 1.28, 1.56).ConclusionIn this population-based cohort study, AKI survivors actively prescribed one or more potentially nephrotoxic medications were at significantly greater risk for de novo or progressive CKD. An opportunity exists to reassess nephrotoxin appropriateness following an AKI episode to improve patient outcomes.

Project description:Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and predicts in-hospital mortality. To which extent post-resuscitation disease or the initial event of cardiac arrest and the duration of insufficient cardiac output triggers AKI is challenging to discriminate. Knowledge on molecular mediators of AKI is scarce. Early identification of patients at high risk of AKI is hampered by the low sensitivity of the established tests in clinical routine practice. The present study aimed to determine the diagnostic utility of the novel urine biomarkers tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) for the early recognition of AKI in patients with non-traumatic shock.The performance of [TIMP-2]·[IGFBP7] was prospectively analysed in 48 patients with shock following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). All patients were treated with target temperature management (TTM) for 24 h. Urinary [TIMP-2]·[IGFBP7] samples were collected at 3 and 24 h after determination of OHCA.Patients (n = 31 (65%)) developed AKI after an average of 26?± 12 h. Patients who developed AKI had significantly higher [TIMP-2]·[IGFBP7] compared to individuals that did not develop AKI (1.52?±?0.13 vs. 0.13?±?0.14; p <?0.05) as early as 3 h after determination of OHCA,. For urine [TIMP-2]*[IGFBP7], the area under the curve (AUC) for the development of AKI was 0.97 (CI 0.90-1.00) at 3 h after OHCA. The optimal [TIMP-2]·[IGFBP7] cut-off value for the prediction of AKI was 0.24. The sensitivity was 96.8% and specificity was 94.1%.Urinary [TIMP-2]•[IGFBP7] reliably predicts AKI in high-risk patients only 3 h after determination of OHCA with a cut-off at 0.24. This novel test may help to identify patients at high risk of AKI to enrol into clinical studies to further elucidate the pathophysiology of AKI and devise targeted interventions in the future.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Hypoglycemia is common in patients with diabetes. The risk of hypoglycemia after acute kidney injury (AKI) is not well defined. The purpose of this study was to compare the risk for postdischarge hypoglycemia among hospitalized patients with diabetes who do and do not experience AKI. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS:We performed a propensity-matched analysis of patients with diabetes, with and without AKI, using a retrospective national cohort of veterans hospitalized between 2004 and 2012. AKI was defined as a 0.3 mg/dL or 50% increase in serum creatinine from baseline to peak serum creatinine during hospitalization. Hypoglycemia was defined as hospital admission or an emergency department visit for hypoglycemia or as an outpatient blood glucose <60 mg/dL. Time to incident hypoglycemia within 90 days postdischarge was examined using Cox proportional hazards models. Prespecified subgroup analyses by renal recovery, baseline chronic kidney disease, preadmission drug regimen, and HbA1c were performed. RESULTS:We identified 65,151 propensity score-matched pairs with and without AKI. The incidence of hypoglycemia was 29.6 (95% CI 28.9-30.4) and 23.5 (95% CI 22.9-24.2) per 100 person-years for patients with and without AKI, respectively. After adjustment, AKI was associated with a 27% increased risk of hypoglycemia (hazard ratio [HR] 1.27 [95% CI 1.22-1.33]). For patients with full recovery, the HR was 1.18 (95% CI 1.12-1.25); for partial recovery, the HR was 1.30 (95% CI 1.23-1.37); and for no recovery, the HR was 1.48 (95% CI 1.36-1.60) compared with patients without AKI. Across all antidiabetes drug regimens, patients with AKI experienced hypoglycemia more frequently than patients without AKI, though the incidence of hypoglycemia was highest among insulin users, followed by glyburide and glipizide users, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:AKI is a risk factor for hypoglycemia in the postdischarge period. Studies to identify risk-reduction strategies in this population are warranted.

Project description:The extent to which renal progression after acute kidney injury (AKI) arises from an initial step drop in kidney function (incomplete recovery), or from a long-term trajectory of subsequent decline, is unclear. This makes it challenging to plan or time post-discharge follow-up. This study of 14651 hospital survivors in 2003 (1966 with AKI, 12685 no AKI) separates incomplete recovery from subsequent renal decline by using the post-discharge estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) rather than the pre-admission as a new reference point for determining subsequent renal outcomes. Outcomes were sustained 30% renal decline and de novo CKD stage 4, followed from 2003-2013. Death was a competing risk. Overall, death was more common than subsequent renal decline (37.5% vs 11.3%) and CKD stage 4 (4.5%). Overall, 25.7% of AKI patients had non-recovery. Subsequent renal decline was greater after AKI (vs no AKI) (14.8% vs 10.8%). Renal decline after AKI (vs no AKI) was greatest among those with higher post-discharge eGFRs with multivariable hazard ratios of 2.29 (1.88-2.78); 1.50 (1.13-2.00); 0.94 (0.68-1.32) and 0.95 (0.64-1.41) at eGFRs of 60 or more; 45-59; 30-44 and under 30, respectively. The excess risk after AKI persisted over ten years of study, irrespective of AKI severity, or post-episode proteinuria. Thus, even if post-discharge kidney function returns to normal, hospital admission with AKI is associated with increased renal progression that persists for up to ten years. Follow-up plans should avoid false reassurance when eGFR after AKI returns to normal.

Project description:Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with subsequent chronic kidney disease (CKD), but the mechanism is unclear. To clarify this, we examined the association of AKI and new-onset or worsening proteinuria during the 12 months following hospitalization in a national retrospective cohort of United States Veterans hospitalized between 2004-2012. Patients with and without AKI were matched using baseline demographics, comorbidities, proteinuria, estimated glomerular filtration rate, blood pressure, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin II receptor blocker (ACEI/ARB) use, and inpatient exposures linked to AKI. The distribution of proteinuria over one year post-discharge in the matched cohort was compared using inverse probability sampling weights. Subgroup analyses were based on diabetes, pre-admission ACEI/ARB use, and AKI severity. Among the 90,614 matched AKI and non-AKI pairs, the median estimated glomerular filtration rate was 62 mL/min/1.73m2. The prevalence of diabetes and hypertension were 48% and 78%, respectively. The odds of having one plus or greater dipstick proteinuria was significantly higher during each month of follow-up in patients with AKI than in patients without AKI (odds ratio range 1.20-1.39). Odds were higher in patients with Stage II or III AKI (odds ratios 1.32-1.81) than in Stage I AKI (odds ratios 1.18-1.32), using non-AKI as the reference group. Results were consistent regardless of diabetes status or baseline ACEI/ARB use. Thus, AKI is a risk factor for incident or worsening proteinuria, suggesting a possible mechanism linking AKI and future CKD. The type of proteinuria, physiology, and clinical significance warrant further study as a potentially modifiable risk factor in the pathway from AKI to CKD.

Project description:Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Recent genetic fate mapping studies demonstrated that recovery from AKI occurs from intrinsic tubular cells. It is unresolved whether these intrinsic cells (so-called "scattered tubular cells") represent fixed progenitor cells or whether recovery involves any surviving tubular cell. Here, we show that the doxycycline-inducible parietal epithelial cell (PEC)-specific PEC-reverse-tetracycline transactivator (rtTA) transgenic mouse also efficiently labels the scattered tubular cell population. Proximal tubular cells labeled by the PEC-rtTA mouse coexpressed markers for scattered tubular cells (kidney injury molecule 1, annexin A3, src-suppressed C-kinase substrate, and CD44) and showed a higher proliferative index. The PEC-rtTA mouse labeled more tubular cells upon different tubular injuries but was independent of cellular proliferation as determined in physiological growth of the kidney. To resolve whether scattered tubular cells are fixed progenitors, cells were irreversibly labeled before ischemia reperfusion injury (genetic cell fate mapping). During recovery, the frequency of labeled tubular cells remained constant, arguing against a fixed progenitor population. In contrast, when genetic labeling was induced during ischemic injury and subsequent recovery, the number of labeled cells increased significantly, indicating that scattered tubular cells arise from any surviving tubular cell. In summary, scattered tubular cells do not represent a fixed progenitor population but rather a phenotype that can be adopted by almost any proximal tubular cell upon injury. Understanding and modulating these phenotypic changes using the PEC-rtTA mouse may lead to more specific therapies in AKI.

Project description:ImportanceAcute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in up to half of patients hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The longitudinal effects of COVID-19-associated AKI on kidney function remain unknown.ObjectiveTo compare the rate of change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) after hospital discharge between patients with and without COVID-19 who experienced in-hospital AKI.Design, setting, and participantsA retrospective cohort study was conducted at 5 hospitals in Connecticut and Rhode Island from March 10 to August 31, 2020. Patients who were tested for COVID-19 and developed AKI were screened, and those who survived past discharge, did not require dialysis within 3 days of discharge, and had at least 1 outpatient creatinine level measurement following discharge were included.ExposuresDiagnosis of COVID-19.Main outcomes and measuresMixed-effects models were used to assess the association between COVID-19-associated AKI and eGFR slope after discharge. The secondary outcome was the time to AKI recovery for the subgroup of patients whose kidney function had not returned to the baseline level by discharge.ResultsA total of 182 patients with COVID-19-associated AKI and 1430 patients with AKI not associated with COVID-19 were included. The population included 813 women (50.4%); median age was 69.7 years (interquartile range, 58.9-78.9 years). Patients with COVID-19-associated AKI were more likely to be Black (73 [40.1%] vs 225 [15.7%]) or Hispanic (40 [22%] vs 126 [8.8%]) and had fewer comorbidities than those without COVID-19 but similar rates of preexisting chronic kidney disease and hypertension. Patients with COVID-19-associated AKI had a greater decrease in eGFR in the unadjusted model (-11.3; 95% CI, -22.1 to -0.4 mL/min/1.73 m2/y; P = .04) and after adjusting for baseline comorbidities (-12.4; 95% CI, -23.7 to -1.2 mL/min/1.73 m2/y; P = .03). In the fully adjusted model controlling for comorbidities, peak creatinine level, and in-hospital dialysis requirement, the eGFR slope difference persisted (-14.0; 95% CI, -25.1 to -2.9 mL/min/1.73 m2/y; P = .01). In the subgroup of patients who had not achieved AKI recovery by discharge (n = 319), COVID-19-associated AKI was associated with decreased kidney recovery during outpatient follow-up (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.35-0.92).Conclusions and relevanceIn this cohort study of US patients who experienced in-hospital AKI, COVID-19-associated AKI was associated with a greater rate of eGFR decrease after discharge compared with AKI in patients without COVID-19, independent of underlying comorbidities or AKI severity. This eGFR trajectory may reinforce the importance of monitoring kidney function after AKI and studying interventions to limit kidney disease after COVID-19-associated AKI.

Project description:Community acquired acute kidney injury (CAAKI) is a sudden structural damage and loss of kidney function in otherwise healthy individuals outside of hospital settings having high morbidity and mortality rates worldwide. Long-term sequelae of AKI involve an associated risk of progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Serum creatinine (SCr) the currently used clinical parameter for diagnosing AKI varies greatly with age, gender, diet and muscle mass. In the present study, we investigated the difference in urinary proteomic profile of subjects that recovered (R) and incompletely recovered (IR) from CAAKI, 4 months after hospital discharge. This study helped in identifying potential proteins and associated pathways that are either upregulated or downregulated at the time of hospital discharge in incompletely recovered CAAKI patients that can be further investigated to check for their exact role in the disease progression or repair.

Project description:The study objective was to examine the utility of using proteinuria in preoperative risk stratification for acute kidney injury. Acute kidney injury is a common and important complication for patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Proteinuria, which reflects structural damage to the glomeruli or renal tubules, may aid the prediction of acute kidney injury.The urine albumin to creatinine ratio and dipstick proteinuria concentration were prospectively measured in 1159 patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The cohort was organized into 4 clinical risk categories based on the preoperative urine albumin to creatinine ratio: 10 mg/g or less (? 1.1 mg/mmol), 11 to 29 mg/g (1.2-3.3 mg/mmol), 30 to 299 mg/g (3.4-33.8 mg/mmol), and 300 mg/g or greater (? 33.9 mg/mmol). The primary outcome was postoperative acute kidney injury, defined by the Acute Kidney Injury Network stage I criterion (serum creatinine increase ? 50% or ? 0.3 mg/dL; 26.5 ?mol/L).An increase in the incidence of acute kidney injury was noted across the urine albumin to creatinine ratio categories. Adding the urine albumin to creatinine ratio to the clinical model to predict acute kidney injury improved the area under the curve from 0.67 to 0.70 (P < .001), and the continuous net reclassification improvement was 29% (P < .001). The urine albumin to creatinine ratio was also independently associated with the risk of in-hospital dialysis and intensive care unit and hospital lengths of stay. Surgery status and preoperative glomerular filtration rate were effect modifiers; the association was stronger among those undergoing elective surgery and those with an estimated glomerular filtration rate of 45 mL/min/1.73 m(2) or greater.Preoperative proteinuria provides graded stratification risk for acute kidney injury and is an independent predictor of other outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
