Serum fibroblast growth factor 23 for early detection of acute kidney injury in critical illness.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Background
Serum fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) and mortality in patients with critical illnesses. However, the accurate predictive performance of FGF23 on AKI remains inconclusive.Methods
Meta-analysis was performed using data sources including PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and Cochrane (until June 1, 2021). Cohort or observational studies including patients with AKI and serum FGF23 level as the index test were included. The primary outcome was the AKI detective accuracy. This study has been registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021249930).Results
Eleven studies with 1946 patients in seven countries were included. Across all settings, the sensitivity and specificity for serum FGF23 levels to predict AKI were 82% (95% CI, 66-91%) and 77% (95% CI, 67-85%), respectively. The diagnostic odds ratio of FGF23 was 15.51 (95% CI, 4.89-49.19), with the pooled positive likelihood ratio of 3.62 (95% CI, 2.25-5.83) and a negative likelihood ratio of 0.23 (95% CI, 0.11-0.50). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve to detect AKI was 0.86 (95% CI, 0.82-0.88). C-terminal FGF23 had a better performance than intact FGF23.Conclusions
Plasma FGF23 is a valuable biomarker for incident AKI in critically ill patients. Comparisons of FGF23 with other biomarkers in AKI still need more studies to prove.

Project description:The cardiorenal syndrome generally focuses on left ventricular function, and the importance of the right ventricle as a determinant of renal function is described less frequently. In a cohort of critically ill patients with echocardiographic measurements obtained within 24 hours of admission to the intensive care unit, we examined the association of right ventricular function with acute kidney injury (AKI) and AKI-associated mortality. We also examined whether clinical measurement of volume overload modified the association between ventricular function and AKI in a subpopulation with documented admission physical examinations.Among 1879 critically ill patients with echocardiographic ventricular measurements, 43% (n = 807) had ventricular dysfunction-21% (n = 388), 9% (n = 167), and 13% (n = 252) with isolated left ventricular dysfunction, isolated right ventricular dysfunction, and biventricular dysfunction, respectively. Overall, ventricular dysfunction was associated with a 43% higher adjusted risk of AKI (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.14-1.80; P = 0.002) compared with those with normal biventricular function, whereas isolated left ventricular dysfunction, isolated right ventricular dysfunction, and biventricular dysfunction were associated with a 1.34 (95% CI 1.00-1.77, P = 0.05), 1.35 (95% CI 0.90-2.10, P = 0.14) and 1.67 (95% CI 1.23-2.31, P = 0.002) higher adjusted risk. Although an episode of AKI was associated with an approximately 2-fold greater risk of hospital mortality in those with isolated left ventricular dysfunction and biventricular dysfunction, in those with isolated right ventricular dysfunction, AKI was associated with a 7.85-fold greater risk of death (95% CI 2.89-21.3, P < 0.001). Independent of ventricular function, peripheral edema was an important determinant of AKI.Like left ventricular function, right ventricular function is an important determinant of AKI and AKI-associated mortality. Volume overload, independently of ventricular function, is a risk factor for AKI. Whether establishment of euvolemia might mitigate AKI risk will require further study.

Project description:BackgroundFibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and endothelium-related biomarkers have been related to AKI in critically-ill patients. Also, FGF23 is associated with endothelial dysfunction. In this study, we investigated if elevated FGF23 association with severe AKI is mediated by several endothelial/glycocalyx-related biomarkers.MethodsProspective cohort study with critically-ill patients. Blood samples were collected within the first 24 h after ICU admission. Severe AKI (defined according to KDIGO stage 2/3) was the analyzed outcome.Results265 patients were enrolled and 82 (30.9%) developed severe AKI-defined according to KDIGO stage 2/3. Blood samples to biomarkers measurement were collected within the first 24 h after ICU admission. After adjustment for several variables, FGF23, vascular cell adhesion protein 1 (VCAM-1), angiopoietin 2 (AGPT2), syndecan-1 and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) were associated with severe AKI. The individual indirect effects of VCAM-1, AGPT2 and syndecan-1 explained 23%, 31%, and 32% of the total observed effect of FGF23 on severe AKI, respectively. ICAM-1 showed no statistically significant mediation. When all three endothelium-related biomarkers were included in a directed acyclic graph (DAG), the Bayesian network learning suggested the following causal association pathway FGF-23 → syndecan-1 → VCAM-1 → AGPT2 → severe AKI.ConclusionsThe association between FGF23 and AKI are mediated by endothelium-related biomarkers, mainly VCAM-1, AGPT2 and syndecan-1. Moreover, the statistical models show that syndecan-1, a biomarker of endothelial glycocalyx dysfunction, seems to be the initial mediator between FGF23 and severe AKI.

Project description:BackgroundHump-nosed pit viper (HNV; Hypnale spp.) bites account for most venomous snakebites in Sri Lanka. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the most serious systemic manifestation (1-10%) following HNV envenoming. We aimed to identify the value of functional and injury biomarkers in predicting the development of AKI early following HNV bites.MethodsWe conducted a prospective cohort study of patients with confirmed HNV envenoming presenting to two large tertiary care hospitals in Sri Lanka. Demographics, bite details, clinical effects, complications and treatment data were collected prospectively. Blood and urine samples were collected from patients for coagulation and renal biomarker assays on admission, at 0-4h, 4-8h, 8-16h and 16-24h post-bite and daily until discharge. Follow-up samples were obtained 1 and 3 months post-discharge. Creatinine (sCr) and Cystatin C (sCysC) were measured in serum and kidney injury molecule-1 (uKIM-1), clusterin (uClu), albumin (uAlb), β2-microglobulin (uβ2M), cystatin C (uCysC), neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (uNGAL), osteopontin (uOPN) and trefoil factor-3 (uTFF-3) were measured in urine. Definite HNV bites were based on serum venom specific enzyme immunoassay. Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria were used to stage AKI. Two patients had chronic kidney disease at 3 month follow-up, both with pre-existing abnormal sCr, and one developed AKI following HNV envenoming.ResultsThere were 52 patients with confirmed HNV envenoming; median age 48y (Interquartile range [IQR]:40-59y) and 29 (56%) were male. Median time to admission was 1.87h (IQR:1-2.75h). Twelve patients (23%) developed AKI (AKI stage 1 = 7, AKI stage 2 = 1, AKI stage 3 = 4). Levels of five novel biomarkers, the functional marker serum Cystatin C and the damage markers urinary NGAL, cystatin C, β2-microglobulin and clusterin, were elevated in patients who developed moderate/severe acute kidney injury. sCysC performed the best at 0-4 h post-bite in predicting moderate to severe AKI (AUC-ROC 0.95;95%CI:0.85-1.0) and no biomarker performed better than sCr at later time points.ConclusionssCysC appears to be a better marker than sCr for early prediction of moderate to severe AKI following HNV envenoming.

Project description:Elevated plasma levels of the osteocyte-derived hormone fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) have emerged as a powerful biomarker of cardiovascular disease and death in patients with CKD. Whether elevated urinary or plasma FGF23 levels are prospectively associated with AKI and death in critically ill patients is unknown. We therefore conducted a prospective cohort study of 350 critically ill patients admitted to intensive care units at an academic medical center to investigate whether higher urinary FGF23 levels associate with the composite end point of AKI or in-hospital mortality (AKI/death). We measured urinary FGF23 levels within 24 hours of admission to the intensive care unit. In a subcohort (n=131) we also measured plasma levels of FGF23, calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone, and vitamin D metabolites. Urinary and plasma FGF23 levels, but not other mineral metabolites, significantly associated with AKI/death. In multivariate analyses, patients in the highest compared with the lowest quartile of urinary FGF23 had a 3.9 greater odds (95% confidence interval, 1.6 to 9.5) of AKI/death. Higher urinary FGF23 levels also independently associated with greater hospital, 90-day, and 1-year mortality; longer length of stay; and several other important adverse outcomes. In conclusion, elevated FGF23 levels measured in the urine or plasma may be a promising novel biomarker of AKI, death, and other adverse outcomes in critically ill patients.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:Acute kidney injury frequently complicates critical illness and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Frailty is common in critical illness survivors, but little is known about the impact of acute kidney injury. We examined the association of acute kidney injury and frailty within a year of hospital discharge in survivors of critical illness. DESIGN:Secondary analysis of a prospective cohort study. SETTING:Medical/surgical ICU of a U.S. tertiary care medical center. PATIENTS:Three hundred seventeen participants with respiratory failure and/or shock. INTERVENTIONS:None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:Acute kidney injury was determined using Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes stages. Clinical frailty status was determined using the Clinical Frailty Scale at 3 and 12 months following discharge. Covariates included mean ICU Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score as well as baseline comorbidity (i.e., Charlson Comorbidity Index), kidney function, and Clinical Frailty Scale score. Of 317 patients, 243 (77%) had acute kidney injury and one in four patients with acute kidney injury was frail at baseline. In adjusted models, acute kidney injury stages 1, 2, and 3 were associated with higher frailty scores at 3 months (odds ratio, 1.92; 95% CI, 1.14-3.24; odds ratio, 2.40; 95% CI, 1.31-4.42; and odds ratio, 4.41; 95% CI, 2.20-8.82, respectively). At 12 months, a similar association of acute kidney injury stages 1, 2, and 3 and higher Clinical Frailty Scale score was noted (odds ratio, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.11-3.14; odds ratio, 1.81; 95% CI, 0.94-3.48; and odds ratio, 2.76; 95% CI, 1.34-5.66, respectively). In supplemental and sensitivity analyses, analogous patterns of association were observed. CONCLUSIONS:Acute kidney injury in survivors of critical illness predicted worse frailty status 3 and 12 months postdischarge. These findings have important implications on clinical decision making among acute kidney injury survivors and underscore the need to understand the drivers of frailty to improve patient-centered outcomes.

Project description:ObjectiveStudies have shown that serum response factor (SRF) is increased in chronic kidney injury, such as diabetic nephropathy, hyperuricemic nephropathy and renal cell carcinoma. The objective is to explore the early diagnostic value of SRF in acute kidney injury (AKI).MethodsAKI-related microarray data were analyzed, and the expression and location of SRF were investigated in the early phase of AKI.ResultsBioinformatics results demonstrated that SRF was dramatically elevated 2-4 h after ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in mouse renal tissue. In I/R rats, SRF was mostly expressed and located in renal tubular epithelial cells (TECs). SRF started to increase at 1 h, peaked at 3-9 h and started to decrease at 12 h after I/R. The areas under the ROC curve of renal SRF mRNA, renal SRF protein, urinary SRF, serum SRF and serum creatinine (Scr) were 87.9%, 83.0%, 81.3%, 78.8%, 68.8%, respectively.ConclusionSRF is remarkably upregulated in early (before 24 h) AKI and can replace Scr as a potential new early diagnostic biomarker of AKI.

Project description:BackgroundRisk for acute kidney injury (AKI) in older adults has not been evaluated systematically. We sought to delineate the determinants of risk for AKI in older compared with younger adults.Study designRetrospective analysis of patients hospitalized in July 2000 to September 2008.Setting & participantsWe identified all adult patients admitted to an intensive care unit (n=45,655) in a large tertiary-care university hospital system. We excluded patients receiving dialysis or a kidney transplant prior to hospital admission and patients with baseline creatinine levels ≥ 4mg/dL, liver transplantation, indeterminate AKI status, or unknown age, leaving 39,938 patients.PredictorWe collected data for multiple susceptibilities and exposures, including age, sex, race, body mass, comorbid conditions, severity of illness, baseline kidney function, sepsis, and shock.OutcomesWe defined AKI according to KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) criteria. We examined susceptibilities and exposures across age strata for impact on the development of AKI.MeasurementsWe calculated area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for prediction of AKI across age groups.Results25,230 (63.2%) patients were 55 years or older. Overall, 25,120 (62.9%) patients developed AKI (69.2% aged ≥55 years). Examples of risk factors for AKI in the oldest age category (≥75 years) were drugs (vancomycin, aminoglycosides, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories), history of hypertension (OR, 1.13; 95% CI, 1.02-1.25), and sepsis (OR, 2.12; 95% CI, 1.68-2.67). Fewer variables remained predictive of AKI as age increased and the model for older patients was less predictive (P<0.001). For the age categories 18 to 54, 55 to 64, 65 to 74, and 75 years or older, AUCs were 0.744 (95% CI, 0.735-0.752), 0.714 (95% CI, 0.702-0.726), 0.706 (95% CI, 0.693-0.718), and 0.673 (95% CI, 0.661-0.685), respectively.LimitationsAnalysis may not apply to non-intensive care unit patients.ConclusionsThe likelihood of developing AKI increases with age; however, the same variables are less predictive for AKI as age increases. Efforts to quantify risk for AKI may be more difficult in older adults.

Project description:AKI is an increasingly common disorder that is strongly linked to short- and long-term morbidity and mortality. Despite a growing heterogeneity in its causes, providing a timely and certain diagnosis of AKI remains challenging. In this review, we summarize the evolution of AKI biomarker studies over the past few years, focusing on two major areas of investigation: the early detection and prognosis of AKI. We highlight some of the lessons learned in conducting AKI biomarker studies, including ongoing attempts to address the limitations of creatinine as a reference standard and the recent shift toward evaluating the prognostic potential of these markers. Lastly, we suggest current gaps in knowledge and barriers that may be hindering their incorporation into care and a full ascertainment of their value.

Project description:IntroductionLow serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels have been identified as a risk factor for acute kidney injury (AKI) among critically ill patients. Whether low 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels are associated with long-term incidence of hospitalization with AKI in the general population is unknown.MethodsAmong 12,380 participants (mean age, 57 years; 24% black) in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study who attended visit 2 (1990-1992), we explored the association of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D with incident hospitalization with AKI. Multivariable Cox models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs). We also examined the association of serum fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) with AKI.ResultsDuring a median follow-up of 24.3 years, 2145 participants had incident hospitalization with AKI (crude incidence rate: 8.3; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 8.0-8.7, per 1,000 person-years). In multivariable Cox models (including adjustment for kidney function), lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D and higher FGF23 levels were each significantly associated with an increased risk of AKI (HR: 1.35; 95% CI: 1.17-1.54, for lowest vs. highest quartile for 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and HR: 1.19; 95% CI: 1.05-1.36, for highest vs. lowest quartile for FGF23). The association was consistent across demographic and clinical subgroups, regardless of whether AKI was the primary diagnosis for hospitalization, and when adjusting for incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) or cardiovascular disease (CVD) as a time-varying covariate.ConclusionAmong middle- to older-age adults in the community, low 25-hydroxyvitamin D and high FGF23 levels were independently associated with an increased risk of AKI. Future studies should explore underlying mechanisms linking these bone mineral metabolism markers with kidney injury.
