ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) manifests with heart dysfunction and respiratory failure some weeks after a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus disease 2 infection. The aim of our study was to explore the prevalence, severity, timing, and duration of acute kidney injury (AKI) in MIS-C patients. Furthermore, we evaluated which clinical variables and outcomes are associated with AKI.DESIGN:
Multicenter retrospective study.SETTING:
Five tertiary hospital PICUs in Italy. Data were collected in the first 7 days of PICU admission and renal function was followed throughout the hospital stay. PATIENTS Patients less than 18 years old admitted to the PICU for greater than 24 hours with MIS-C.INTERVENTIONS:
None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAINRESULTS:
We collected the following data, including demographic information, inflammatory biomarkers, lactate levels, Pa o2 /F io2 , ejection fraction, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), renal function (serum creatinine, urinary output, fluid balance, and percentage fluid accumulation), Vasoactive-Inotropic Score (VIS), pediatric Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (pSOFA), and Pediatric Index of Mortality 3. AKI was diagnosed in eight of 38 patients (21%) and severe AKI was present in four of eight patients. In all cases, AKI was present at PICU admission and its median (interquartile range) duration was 3.5 days (1.5-5.7 d). We did not identify differences between AKI and no-AKI patients when not making correction for multiple comparisons, for example, in weight, ejection fraction, pSOFA, Pa o2 /F io2 , and lactates. We failed to identify any difference in these groups in urine output and fluid balance. Exploratory analyses of serial data between no-AKI and AKI patients showed significant differences on lymphocyte count, NT-proBNP value, ejection fraction, pSOFA, Pa o2 /F io2 , and VIS.CONCLUSIONS:
In this multicenter Italian PICU experience, MIS-C is associated with AKI in one-in-five cases. In general, AKI is characterized by an associated reduction in glomerular filtration rate with a self-limiting time course.
