Project description:The risk of an individual to develop an acute kidney injury (AKI), or its severity, cannot be reliably predicted by common clinical risk factors. Whether genetic risk factors have an explanatory role poses an interesting question, however. Thus, we conducted a systematic literature review regarding genetic predisposition to AKI or outcome of AKI patients.We searched Ovid SP (MEDLINE) and EMBASE databases and found 4027 references to AKI. Based on titles and abstracts, we approved 37 articles for further analysis. Nine were published only as abstracts, leaving 28 original articles in the final analysis. We extracted the first author, year of publication, study design, clinical setting, number of studied patients, patients with AKI, ethnicity of patients, studied polymorphisms, endpoints, AKI definition, phenotype, significant findings, and data for quality scoring from each article. We summarized the findings and scored the quality of articles.The articles were quite heterogeneous and of moderate quality (mean 6.4 of 10).Despite different gene polymorphisms with suggested associations with development or severity or outcome of AKI, definitive conclusions would require replication of associations in independent cohort studies and, preferably a hypothesis-free study design.

Project description:Adiponectin is a multifunctional cytokine that has a role in regulating inflammation. Here we determined whether adiponectin modulates ischemic acute kidney injury. Compared with wild-type mice, adiponectin-knockout mice were found to have lower serum creatinine and less tubular damage or apoptosis following ischemia/reperfusion injury. This latter process was associated with decreased Bax and reduced activation of p53 and caspase-3. Targeted disruption of adiponectin was also found to inhibit the infiltration of neutrophils, macrophages, and T cells into the injured kidneys. This was associated with inhibition of NF-κB activation and reduced expression of the proinflammatory molecules IL-6, TNF-α, MCP-1, and MIP-2 in the kidney after ischemia/reperfusion injury. Wild-type mice engrafted with adiponectin-null bone marrow had less kidney dysfunction and tubular damage than adiponectin-null mice engrafted with wild-type bone marrow. Conversely, adiponectin-null mice engrafted with wild-type bone marrow had similar renal dysfunction and tubular damage compared with wild-type mice engrafted with wild-type bone marrow. In cultured macrophages, adiponectin directly promoted macrophage migration: a process blocked by the PI3 kinase inhibitor, LY294002. Thus, our results show that adiponectin has a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of acute renal ischemia/reperfusion injury and may be a potential therapeutic target.

Project description:The goal of this observational study is to compare anesthetic modalities (intravenous propofol anesthesia with sevoflurane gas anesthesia) in patients who underwent colorectal cancer resection surgery regarding the outcome of acute kidney injury.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* is there a difference in acute kidney injury incidence in the two anesthetic modalities?
* is there a difference in plasma creatinine between the two anesthetic modalities?
* are there any patient characteristics or intraoperative factors that effect the incidence of acute kidney injury in either anesthetic modality?
The study will analyze data from the CAN clinical trial database. (Cancer and Anesthesia: Survival After Radical Surgery - a Comparison Between Propofol or Sevoflurane Anesthesia, NCT01975064)

Project description:The early events that signal renal dysfunction in presymptomatic heart failure are unclear. We tested the hypothesis that functional and mechanistic changes occur in the kidney that precede the development of symptomatic heart failure. We employed a transgenic mouse model with cardiomyocyte-specific overexpression of mutant α-B-crystallin that develops slowly progressive cardiomyopathy. Presymptomatic transgenic mice displayed an increase in serum creatinine (1.17 ± 0.34 vs. wild type 0.65 ± 0.16 mg/dl, P < 0.05) and in urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL; 278.92 ± 176.24 vs. wild type 49.11 ± 22.79 ng/ml, P < 0.05) but no renal fibrosis. Presymptomatic transgenic mouse kidneys exhibited a twofold upregulation of the Ren1 gene, marked overexpression of renin protein in the tubules, and a worsened response to ischemia-reperfusion injury based on serum creatinine (2.77 ± 0.66 in transgenic mice vs. 2.01 ± 0.58 mg/dl in wild type, P < 0.05), urine NGAL (9,198.79 ± 3,799.52 in transgenic mice vs. 3,252.94 ± 2,420.36 ng/ml in wild type, P < 0.05), tubule dilation score (3.4 ± 0.5 in transgenic mice vs. 2.6 ± 0.5 in wild type, P < 0.05), tubule cast score (3.2 ± 0.4 in transgenic mice vs. 2.5 ± 0.5 in wild type, P < 0.05), and TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL)-positive nuclei (10.1 ± 2.1 in the transgenic group vs. 5.7 ± 1.6 per 100 cells counted in wild type, P < 0.01). Our findings indicate functional renal impairment, urinary biomarker elevations, and induction of renin gene and protein expression in the kidney that occur in early presymptomatic heart failure, which increase the susceptibility to subsequent acute kidney injury.

Project description:The versatility of the intrarenal immunologic micromilieu through dietary modification and the subsequent effects on susceptibility to ischemic acute kidney injury (AKI) are unclear. We investigated the effects of high-salt (HS) or high-fat (HF) diet on intrarenal immunologic micromilieu and development of ischemic AKI using murine ischemic AKI and human kidney-2 (HK-2) cell hypoxia models. Four different diet regimens [control, HF, HS, and high-fat diet with high-salt (HF+HS)] were provided individually to groups of 9-week-old male C57BL/6 mice for 1 or 6 weeks. After a bilateral ischemia-reperfusion injury (BIRI) operation, mice were sacrificed on day 2 and renal injury was assessed with intrarenal leukocyte infiltration. Human kidney-2 cells were treated with NaCl or lipids. The HF diet increased body weight and total cholesterol, whereas the HF+HS did not. Although the HF or HS diet did not change total leukocyte infiltration at 6 weeks, the HF diet and HF+HS diet increased intrarenal CD8 T cells. Plasma cells increased in the HF and HS diet groups. The expression of proinflammatory cytokines including TNF-α, IFN-γ, MCP-1, and RANTES was increased by the HF or HS diet, and intrarenal VEGF decreased in the HS and HF+HS diet groups at 6 weeks. Deterioration of renal function following BIRI tended to be aggravated by the HF or HS diet. High NaCl concentration suppressed proliferation and enhanced expression of TLR-2 in hypoxic HK-2 cells. The HF or HS diet can enhance susceptibility to ischemic AKI by inducing proinflammatory changes to the intrarenal immunologic micromilieu.

Project description:BackgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) have become worldwide public health problems, but little information is known about the epidemiology of acute kidney disease (AKD)-a state in between AKI and CKD. We aimed to explore the incidence and outcomes of hospitalized patients with AKD after AKI, and investigate the prognostic value of AKD in predicting 30-day and one-year adverse outcomes.MethodsA total of 2,556 hospitalized AKI patients were identified from three tertiary hospitals in China in 2015 and followed up for one year.AKD and AKD stage were defined according to the consensus report of the Acute Disease Quality Initiative 16 workgroup. Multivariable regression analyses adjusted for confounding variables were used to examine the association of AKD with adverse outcomes.ResultsAKD occurred in 45.4% (1161/2556) of all AKI patients, 14.5% (141/971) of AKI stage 1 patients, 44.6% (308/691) of AKI stage 2 patients and 79.6% (712/894) of AKI stage 3 patients. AKD stage 1 conferred a greater risk of Major Adverse Kidney Events within 30 days (MAKE30) (odds ratio [OR], 2.36; 95% confidence interval 95% CI [1.66-3.36]) than AKD stage 0 but the association only maintained in AKI stage 3 when patients were stratified by AKI stage. However, compared with AKD stage 0, AKD stage 2-3 was associated with higher risks of both MAKE30 and one-year chronic dialysis and mortality independent of the effects of AKI stage with OR being 31.35 (95% CI [23.42-41.98]) and 2.68 (95% CI [2.07-3.48]) respectively. The association between AKD stage and adverse outcomes in 30 days and one year was not significantly changed in critically ill and non-critically ill AKI patients. The results indicated that AKD is common among hospitalized AKI patients. AKD stage 2-3 provides additional information in predicting 30-day and one-year adverse outcomes over AKI stage. Enhanced follow-up of renal function of these patients may be warranted.

Project description:Perioperative organ injury is among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality of surgical patients. Among different types of perioperative organ injury, acute kidney injury occurs particularly frequently and has an exceptionally detrimental effect on surgical outcomes. Currently, acute kidney injury is most commonly diagnosed by assessing increases in serum creatinine concentration or decreased urine output. Recently, novel biomarkers have become a focus of translational research for improving timely detection and prognosis for acute kidney injury. However, specificity and timing of biomarker release continue to present challenges to their integration into existing diagnostic regimens. Despite many clinical trials using various pharmacologic or nonpharmacologic interventions, reliable means to prevent or reverse acute kidney injury are still lacking. Nevertheless, several recent randomized multicenter trials provide new insights into renal replacement strategies, composition of intravenous fluid replacement, goal-directed fluid therapy, or remote ischemic preconditioning in their impact on perioperative acute kidney injury. This review provides an update on the latest progress toward the understanding of disease mechanism, diagnosis, and managing perioperative acute kidney injury, as well as highlights areas of ongoing research efforts for preventing and treating acute kidney injury in surgical patients.

Project description:Acute kidney injury frequently complicates septic shock and independently predicts mortality in this population. Clinical factors alone do not entirely account for differences in risk of acute kidney injury between patients. Genetic variants are likely to explain this differential susceptibility. To identify genetic variants linked to acute kidney injury susceptibility, we conducted a high-density genotyping association study in a large population of patients with septic shock.Retrospective study.Tertiary academic medical center.One thousand two hundred and sixty-four patients with septic shock were analyzed to elucidate clinical risk factors associated with the development of acute kidney injury. Among them, 887 Caucasian patients were randomly split into discovery and validation cohorts and genotyped using the Illumina Human-CVD BeadChip (Illumina, San Diego, CA).None.Six hundred and twenty-seven of the 1,264 patients with septic shock and 441 of the 887 patients with genotyping data developed acute kidney injury within the first 72 hrs of intensive care unit admission. Five single nucleotide polymorphisms were associated with acute kidney injury in both the discovery and validation cohorts. Two of these were in the BCL2 gene and both were associated with a decreased risk of acute kidney injury (rs8094315: odds ratio 0.61, p = .0002; rs12457893: odds ratio 0.67, p = .0002, both for combined data). Bcl-2 is involved in the apoptosis pathway, which has previously been implicated in acute kidney injury. Another single nucleotide polymorphism was in the SERPINA4 gene, whose protein product, kallistatin, has been linked to apoptosis in the kidney.Large-scale genotyping reveals two single nucleotide polymorphisms in the BCL2 gene and a single nucleotide polymorphism in the SERPINA4 gene associated with a decreased risk of developing acute kidney injury, supporting the putative role of apoptosis in the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury.
