ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in hospitalized patients and results in significant morbidity and mortality. The objective of the study was to explore the systemic immune response of intensive care unit patients presenting with AKI, especially the association between immune profiles and persistent AKI during the first week after admission following various types of injuries (sepsis, trauma, surgery, and burns).METHODS:
REALAKI is an ancillary analysis of the REAnimation Low Immune Status Marker (REALISM) cohort study, in which 359 critically ill patients were enrolled in three different intensive care units. Patients with end-stage renal disease were excluded from the REALAKI study. Clinical samples and data were collected three times after admission at day 1 or 2 (D1-2), day 3 or 4 (D3-4) and day 5, 6 or 7 (D5-7). Immune profiles were compared between patients presenting with or without AKI. Patients with AKI at both D1-2 and D5-7 were defined as persistent AKI. A multivariable logistic regression model was performed to determine the independent association between AKI and patients' immunological parameters.RESULTS:
Three hundred and fifty-nine patients were included in this analysis. Among them, 137 (38%) were trauma patients, 103 (29%) post-surgery patients, 95 (26%) sepsis patients, and 24 (7%) were burn patients. One hundred and thirty-nine (39%) patients presented with AKI at D1-2 and 61 (20%) at D5-7. Overall, 94% presented with persistent AKI at D5-7. Patients with AKI presented with increased pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines and altered innate and adaptive immune responses. The modifications observed in the immune profiles tended to be more pronounced with increasing KDIGO stages. In the logistic regression model, a statistically significant association was observed at D1-2 between AKI and CD10lowCD16low immature neutrophils (OR 3.03 [1.7-5.5]-p < 0.001). At D5-7, increased interleukin-10 (IL-10) levels and reduced ex vivo TNF-α production after LPS stimulation were significantly associated with the presence of AKI (OR 1.38 [1.12-1.71]-p = 0.001 and 0.51 [0.27-0.91]-p = 0.03, respectively). Patients who recovered from AKI between D1-2 and D5-7 compared to patients with persistent AKI at D5-7, tended to correct these alterations.CONCLUSION:
Following various types of severe injuries, early AKI is associated with the initial inflammatory response. Presence of AKI at the end of the first week after injury is associated with injury-induced immunosuppression.Palabras clave
