脓毒血症并发急性肾损伤早期诊断标志物的研究

Objective To investigate the accuracy of NGAL in prediction of acute kidney injury (AKI) complicated by sepsis. Methods Blood and urine samples were collected at different time points in 74 sepsis patients, and 17 AKI patients were got from them.Cysteine Cys C levels were detected with Latex enhanced turbidimetric immunoassay (LETIA). Urine NGAL and Scr levels were detected with solid-phase sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and creatinine enzymatic assay respectively. At the same time, 57 non-AKI patients were set as controls. Dynamic changes of urine NGAL and Scr were observed in sepsis patients in test and control group. ROC curve was used to evaluate the performance of AKI diagnosis by urinary NGAL.Results The Scr base line was (59. 38 ±16. 72) μmol/L.The median time of diagnose of AKI was 24 (12, 48) h past-sepsis diagnosis, while the Scr was(100. 35± 28. 26) μmol/L. Of the group, 17 cases of sepsis were diagnosed with AKI, accounting for 23% (17/74) prevalence. In sepsis group, base line value(0. 61 ± 0. 15) mg/L] of serum Cys C was not upregulated at 2, 4 and 6 h, which was (0. 63 ± 0. 14) mg/L, (0. 68 ± 0. 16) mg/L and (0.65±0. 14) mg/L respectively. As to 8 h (0. 85 ± 0. 22) mg/L], a slight upregulation was found with no significant difference (t = 1.63, P ＞ 0. 05).A trend of gradual increase of serum Cys C levels was found in sepsis AKI group at 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 72 h. A significant difference was found compared with base line (t = 2. 81, 2.98, 3.05, 3.11, 3. 38,3. 17,P ＜0.01). NGAL level(96.21 ±45.32) μg/L] was significantly higher than base line value (4. 98 ± 1.65) μg/L]. Subsequently, in each time point from the 2 h to 48 h, a trend of gradual increase in urinary NGAL levels was showed. The differences were significant compared with the baseline values (t =2. 74,2. 83,2. 91,3.04,3.15,3.22,3. 31,3.45,3.57 ,P ＜0. 01). Urinary NGAL levels of sepsis AKI group were significantly higher than those in non-AKI group at different time points with significant difference (t =2. 69,2. 73,2. 84,2. 96,3.02,3. 13,3.29,3.43,3.54,3.22,P ＜0. 01). ROC curve was selected to analyze diagnostic performance of urinary NGAL levels in AKI patients 2 h post-sepsis. Area under ROC curve was obtained as 0. 935, 95% confidence interval was 0. 683-0. 971. When cut-off value of urinary NGAL for patients 2 h post-sepsis was 50 μg/L, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 94. 4%, 87. 5% and 96. 8% in AKI diagnosis respectively. Conclusions The occurrence of AKi can be accurately predicted by urinary NGAL levels 2 h post-sepsis , and its AKI diagnosis time is earlier than that of Scr. Urine NGAL can be used as early marker of AKI complicated by sepsis.
