Abstract:Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) during sepsis is associated with poor outcome. However, diagnosis of AKI with serum creatinine (SCr) level change is neither highly sensitive nor specific. Therefore, identification of novel biomarkers for early diagnosis of AKI is desirable. Aims: To evaluate the capacity of combining urinary netrin-1 and human kidney injury molecule type 1 (KIM-1) in the early diagnosis of septic AKI. Methods: We prospectively recruited 150 septic patients from Jun 2011 to Jun 2013 at Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital, China. SCr, urinary netrin-1, and KIM-1 levels were recorded at 0, 1, 3, 6, 24, and 48?h of ICU admission and compared between AKI and non-AKI patients. In addition, we investigated the prognostic value of netrin-1 and KIM-1 between non-survivors and survivors in septic AKI patients. Results: SCr levels started to show elevation after 24?h of ICU admission. However, netrin-1 levels increased significantly as early as 1?h, peaked at 3–6?h and remained elevated up to 48?h of ICU admission in septic AKI patients. KIM-1 increased significantly by 6?h, peaked at 24?h and remained significantly elevated until 48?h of ICU admission. Furthermore, we observed significant higher urinary KIM-1 levels at 24?h and 48?h in non-survivors compared to survivors in AKI patients. Conclusions: Our results suggest that both netrin-1 and KIM-1 are clinically useful as early biomarkers in the diagnosis of septic AKI. In addition, persistent elevation of urinary KIM-1 level may be associated with poor prognosis.
