尿中性粒细胞明胶酶相关脂质运载蛋白在成人心脏手术后急性肾损伤早期诊断中的价值

目的 探讨尿中性粒细胞明胶酶相关脂质运载蛋白（neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin,NGAL）在心脏手术后急性肾损伤（AKI）早期预测和诊断中的价值。 方法 前瞻性收集我院心脏手术患者手术前后不同时相的血、尿标本,选取其中14例AKI患者,分别测定尿NGAL和Scr水平;并选择临床资料相匹配的非AKI患者15例作为对照。观察两组患者围手术期尿NGAL和Scr的动态变化,运用接受者操作特性曲线（ROC）评价尿NGAL诊断AKI的精确性。AKI定义为Scr水平较基础值增加≥50%。 结果 Scr诊断AKI的中位时间为入ICU后24 h（10 h,48 h）。AKI患者术后入ICU即刻的尿NGAL水平显著高于术前基础水平并达峰值[20.51（13.42,50.02） μg/L比3.42（1.60,9.92） μg/L,P = 0.006];也显著高于非AKI患者 [2.91（0.72,8.61） μg/L,P = 0.002]。入ICU即刻尿NGAL 的ROC曲线下面积为0.824,95%的可信区间（CI）为0.667~0.980,P = 0.003。当以10.95 μg/L作为诊断截点时,此刻的尿NGAL在AKI诊断中的敏感性和特异性分别为85.7%和80.0%。入ICU即刻的尿NGAL与入ICU 24 h的Scr（r = 0.545,P = 0.002）及eGFR（r = －0.546,P = 0.002)呈正及负相关。 结论 心脏手术后AKI患者术后入ICU即刻的尿NGAL水平显著升高,对诊断AKI具有较高的准确性,其诊断AKI的时间早于Scr。尿NGAL可作为成人心脏术后AKI的早期诊断标志物。

Prediction of acute kidney injury complicated by sepsis with sTREM - 1 and NGAL as early marker

Objective To determine whether triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM - 1) and urinary neutrophil gelatinase - associated lipocalin (NGAL) were early biomarkers of acute kidney injury (AKI) secondary to sepsis. Methods A total of 141 eligible patients were enrolled in this prospective study. Blood and urine samples were collected at different time points as soon as sepsis was diagnosed. The concentrations of serum creatinine (Scr), urine sTREM-1 and NGAL were measured. According to AKI criteria, patients were divided into the AKI group and non - AKI group. Dynamic changes of levels of Scr, urine sTREM-1 and NGAL were observed in two groups. The receiver operating characteristic curves were used to evaluate the early diagnostic value of urine sTREM-1 and NGAL. Results Among 141 septic patients, 44 (31.2%) cases had concomitant AKI. Twenty four hours after sepsis diagnosed, the level of Scr rose to 1.91 times of the baseline [(140.5±13.6) vs (82.6±15.3) μmol/L, P＜0.05], which met the diagnostic criteria of AKI. In the AKI group, urinary concentrations of sTREM-1 and NGAL at 8 h after the diagnosis of sepsis began to rise significantly from baseline [(100.5±17.4) vs (38.9±14.7) ng/L; (144.6±51.9) vs (56.2±43.8) μg/L, both P＜0.05].And at the following time points, urinary concentrations of sTREM - 1 and NGAL were significantly higher than the baseline levels and that of the non-AKI group (all P＜0.05). At 8 h time point, the area under the curve of urine sTREM-1 was 0.877 (95%CI 0.756-0.914), the sensitivity was 89.1% and specificity was 82.0% with a cutoff value of 70 ng/L. At 8 h time point, the area under the curve of urine NGAL was 0.862 (95% CI 0.703-0.958),the sensitivity was 87.4% and specificity was 85.5% with a cutoff value of 90 μg/L. Conclusions Urinary concentrations of sTREM-1 and NGAL at 8 h time point after the diagnosis of sepsis have predictive value for AKI and their diagnostic time is much earlier than that of Scr. Therefore, urinary sTREM-1 and NGAL can be used as early biomarkers of septic AKI.     

Value of levels of biomarkers at the time of nephrologists consultation in predicting the prognosis of acute kidney injury patients

Objective To investigate the value of biomarker levels at the time of nephrologists consultation in predicting the prognosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) patients. Methods A total of 103 hospitalized patients with AKI were enrolled at the time of nephrologists consultation. Blood and urine samples were collected when patients were diagnosed as AKI. ELISA was used to detect the concentration of urinary biomarkers including neutrophil gelatinase?associated lipocalin (NGAL), IL?6 and IL?18. Colorimetric method was used to measure urinary N?acetyl?β?D?glucosaminidase (NAG). Turbidimetry and enzymic method were applied to examine the concentration of serum cystatin C (Cys C), baseline Scr (bScr), Scr at consultation (cScr) and the peak of Scr (pScr) respectively. Patients were followed?up to evaluate the prognosis at 28 days after consultation, including patient survival and kidney survival. The levels of biomarkers between different groups, including patient survival or death, kidney recovery or lose and renal replacement therapy (RRT) or not, were compared. Area under curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of these biomarkers were used to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity in predicting prognosis. AKI was defined as the Scr at the time of consultation increased more than 50% of baseline Scr within 48 hours. Results (1)Mean age of 103 hospitalized AKI patients was (54.28±19.05) years old and ratio of male to female was 1.86 to 1. (2)Patient mortality was 25.2% at 28 days after consultation. The bScr, cScr and pScr were similar between survival and death group, while the concentration of urinary NGAL in death group was significantly higher than that of survival group [147.00(31.59, 221.87) mg/L vs 22.43(6.48, 89.77) mg/L, P＝0.001]. The serum Cys C, urinary IL?6 and NAG were similar between survival and death group (P＞0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed urinary NGAL was an independent risk factor of patient survival (OR＝1.011, 95%CI 1.004?1.018, P＝0.001) with AUC of 0.723. (3)Kidney lose rate was 20.4% at 28 days after consultation. The bScr, cScr and pScr were similar between patients with kidney survival and lose. The levels of urinary NAG, IL?6, NGAL and IL?18 were significantly higher in patients with kidney lose than those of kidney survival. Logistic regression analysis showed urinary IL?6 was an independent risk factor of renal survival (OR＝1.056, 95%CI 1.009?1.105, P＝0.018) with AUC of 0.705. (4)The median time from consultation to RRT was 2.17 (0?3) days. The concentrations of cScr, pScr, serum Cys C, urinary IL?6 and NGAL were significantly higher in RRT patients than thosein non?RRT patients (P＜0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed urinary NGAL was an independent risk factor of RRT (OR＝1.012, 95%CI 1.005?1.019, P＜0.01) with AUC of 0.775. Conclusions Urinary NGAL can predict the prognosis of AKI patients, including patient prognosis and RRT. Urinary IL?6 may predict kidney prognosis in hospitalized patients with AKI. More study with large samples should be done for further estimation of the results.     

L-FABP can be an early marker of acute kidney injury in children

Background

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common postoperative complication following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery. New biomarkers to identify patients with early AKI (before increases in serum creatinine) are needed to facilitate appropriate treatment. This study aimed to test the role of urinary liver fatty-acid-binding protein (L-FABP) as an early biomarker for AKI in children undergoing CPB surgery.

Methods

This is a case–control study of children undergoing CPB. AKI was defined as 50 % increase in serum creatinine at 48 h after surgery. For each patient, five serum and urine samples were obtained corresponding to time 0 h (presurgery) and 2, 6, 24, and 48 h after surgery.

Results

Twenty-seven patients, median age 360 days, were enrolled. AKI developed in 11 patients (41 %); three needed renal replacement therapy (peritoneal dialysis); there were two deaths. There were significant differences between patients with and without AKI in L-FABP levels at 2, 6, and 48 h after surgery, length of hospital stay, and CPB time; there were no differences in gender, patient age, and body weight. L-FABP was normalized to urinary creatinine concentration at all time points, with area under the receiver operator curve (AUC ROC) 0.867 at 2 and 6 h postoperatively. Correlation coefficient between L-FABP and length of hospital stay after surgery was statistically significant (r?=?0.722, p value?=?0.000).

Conclusions

Our results suggest that urinary L-FABP can be used to diagnose AKI earlier than rise in serum creatinine in children undergoing CPB.     

尿生物标志物在儿童急性肾损伤早期诊断中的作用研究

目的：评价尿NGAL,KIM-1和β2-MG在儿童不同基础疾病导致的AKI早期诊断中的价值。方法：我们做的是前瞻性临床研究,检测在我院儿科门急诊不同疾病患儿尿中性粒细胞明胶酶相关的脂质运载蛋白（NGAL）,肾脏损伤因子-1（KIM-1）和-β2微球蛋白（β2-MG）的水平,以AKIpRIFLE为分期标准将入选患儿分组,比较尿NGAL,KIM-1和β2-MG在儿童急性肾损伤诊断中的敏感性,特异性,阳性似然比,阴性似然比,分析比较这3个指标在急性肾损伤早期诊断中的作用。结果：入选262例患儿中,23例患儿可诊断为AKI,15例患儿为AKI-R期,8例患儿为AKI-I期,入选患儿中没有AKI-F期,23例患儿中只有5例临床有AKI的诊断。尿NGAL,KIM-1和β2-MG的水平在血肌酐没有明显升高之前已经升高,随着肾损伤的加重升高的更明显,不同组间差异有统计学意义。尿NGAL和β2-MG在预测儿童AKI的早期诊断方面好于尿KIM-1（AUC〉0.8）。结论：尿NGAL,KIM-1和β2-MG均可以在Scr没有升高之前预测儿童AKI的发生,是儿童AKI的早期生物标志物。尿NGAL在早期预测不同基础疾病可能发生AKI方面好于其他两项指标。     

Postoperative biomarkers predict acute kidney injury and poor outcomes after adult cardiac surgery

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication of cardiac surgery and increases morbidity and mortality. The identification of reliable biomarkers that allow earlier diagnosis of AKI in the postoperative period may increase the success of therapeutic interventions. Here, we conducted a prospective, multicenter cohort study involving 1219 adults undergoing cardiac surgery to evaluate whether early postoperative measures of urine IL-18, urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), or plasma NGAL could identify which patients would develop AKI and other adverse patient outcomes. Urine IL-18 and urine and plasma NGAL levels peaked within 6 hours after surgery. After multivariable adjustment, the highest quintiles of urine IL-18 and plasma NGAL associated with 6.8-fold and 5-fold higher odds of AKI, respectively, compared with the lowest quintiles. Elevated urine IL-18 and urine and plasma NGAL levels associated with longer length of hospital stay, longer intensive care unit stay, and higher risk for dialysis or death. The clinical prediction model for AKI had an area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.69. Urine IL-18 and plasma NGAL significantly improved the AUC to 0.76 and 0.75, respectively. Urine IL-18 and plasma NGAL significantly improved risk prediction over the clinical models alone as measured by net reclassification improvement (NRI) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI). In conclusion, urine IL-18, urine NGAL, and plasma NGAL associate with subsequent AKI and poor outcomes among adults undergoing cardiac surgery.
