Urinary Spermidine Predicts and Associates with In-Hospital Acute Kidney Injury after Cardiac Surgery.

ABSTRACT: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) affects up to 30% of the patients who undergo cardiac surgery (CVS) and is related to higher mortality. We aim to investigate molecular features associated with in-hospital AKI development and determine the predictive value of these features when analyzed preoperatively. This is a case-control study. From an initial cohort of 110 recruited subjects, a total of 60 patients undergoing cardiac surgery were included: 20 (33%) developed in-hospital AKI (CVS-AKI) and 40 did not (controls, CVS-C). Pre- and post-surgery samples were collected and a prospective study was carried out. A total of 312 serum samples and 258 urine samples were analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry and ELISA. Six features predicted AKI development in pre-surgery samples: urinary kidney functional loss marker kidney injury molecule-1 (uKIM-1), 2-hydroxybutyric acid, 2-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, hippuric acid, phosphoethanolamine and spermidine. Two of them stood out as powerful predictors. Pre-surgery uKIM-1 levels were increased in CVS-AKI vs. CVS-C (AUC = 0.721, p-value = 0.0392) and associated strongly with the outcome (OR = 5.333, p-value = 0.0264). Spermidine showed higher concentration in CVS-AKI (p-value < 0.0001, AUC = 0.970) and had a strong association with the outcome (OR = 69.75, p-value < 0.0001). uKIM-1 and particularly spermidine predict in-hospital AKI associated with CVS in preoperative samples. These findings may aid in preventing postoperative AKI and improve prognosis of CVS.

Project description:Objectives: Secretion of extracellular vesicles (EV) and associated micro-RNAs (miR) is altered during cellular stress and may serve as biomarkers of organ injury. We hypothesized that measuring changes in urinary levels of EV and miR will predict the onset of acute kidney injury in cardiac surgery patients. Design: Predictive accuracy biomarker study performed in the cohort of the REVAKI-2 trial Setting: Single center ICU between September 2015 and September 2018 Interventions: Intravenous sildenafil citrate 12.5 mg kg-1 over 150 min or dextrose 5% at the commencement of surgery. Measurements and main results: Urine samples were collected before and 24 hours after the procedure from 93 cardiac surgery patients. Urine EV concentrations and size distribution were assessed using NanoSight. EV derivation and levels were measured using flow cytometry. Samples from 10 selected patients were sequenced to detect differentially expressed miR. Verification was performed with advanced TaqMan assays in samples from all patients. Urine EV concentrations significantly increased in patients with AKI after surgery, with the percentage of EV positive for aquaporin-2 and β1-integrin also increasing. Pre surgery podocalyxin-positive EV were significantly lower, and β1-integrin EV werehigher in patients with AKI. The levels of the former correlated with the severity of theinjury. miR-125a-5p was expressed at higher levels in urine from patients with AKI stage 2/3. Levels of miR-10a-5p decreased after surgery in AKI patients; its levels correlated with the severity of the injury. Preoperative levels of podocalyxin EVs and miR-125a-5p had moderate AKI predictive value and, in a logistic model together with ICU lactate levels, offered good (AUC = 80.9%) AKI prediction. Conclusions: Lower levels of podocalyxin-positive EV at baseline predict the severity of post-surgery AKI. Urine EV concentrations and miR expression offer excellent predictive accuracy when combined with commonly measured biomarkers.
