RESUMO
Objective@#To investigate the risk factors of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients aged between 40 and 50 years old undergoing cardiac valvular surgery and the impact on outcome.@*Methods@#The clinical data of 286 patients aged between 40 and 50 years old undergoing cardiac valve surgery in Guangdong Provincial People′s Hospital from January 2012 to December 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. Preoperative coronary angiography was performed in all patients. All patients enrolled were divided into AKI group and non-AKI group according to the existence or not of postoperative AKI. Patients with AKI were further divided into AKI stage 1, stage 2, and stage 3 groups according to KDIGO guideline. Demographic characteristics, preoperative clinical data including serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate, hemoglobin, uric acid, urinary protein, presence or absence of chronic kidney disease, left ventricular ejection fraction, pulmonary artery pressure, New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification, preoperative co-morbidity (hypertension, diabetes, anemia, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral artery disease), preoperative medication(vasoactive drugs, diuretic, renin-angiotensin system inhibitor (RASI), surgical data (contrast dosage in coronary angiography, type of cardiac valve surgery) were recorded and analyzed in this retrospective study. The risk factors for postoperative AKI and its impact on clinical outcomes (mortality, hospitalization expenses and Intensive Care Unit stay duration) were evaluated. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the risk factors for postoperative AKI and the adjusted variables with P<0.2 were selected for the multivariate logistic regression analysis to define the independent determinants for AKI.@*Results@#AKI was defined in 106 out of 286 enrolled patients, including 96 patients with AKI stage 1, 10 patients with AKI stage 2 and no patients with AKI stage 3. The proportion of coexisting cerebrovascular diseases was higher in AKI group than in non-AKI group (9(8.49%) and 5(2.78%), χ2=4.677, P=0.031), while there was no difference among other baseline data between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative complications of cerebral vascular disease was an independent risk factor of postoperative AKI (OR=3.578, 95%CI 1.139-11.242, P=0.029). Five out of 106 AKI patients died during hospitalization while there was only 1 patient died among 180 patients without AKI. Patients with AKI after cardiac valve operation experienced higher mortality than patients without AKI (χ2=5.625, P=0.028). Further analysis showed that there was no difference in hospitalization mortality between patients with AKI stage 2 and stage (χ2=0.686, P=0.408) while the hospitalization mortality in patients with AKI stage 2 was higher than those without AKI (χ2=8.113, P=0.004). The hospitalization expenses in patients with AKI were 10.38(8.59,12.54) ×104 RMB, significantly higher than that in patients without AKI (9.72(8.03,11.93) ×104 RMB)(P=0.043). There was no difference in hospitalization expenses between patients with AKI stage 1 and without AKI (P=0.635). The hospitalization expenses in patients with AKI stage 2 was higher than those without AKI (P=0.023). Intensive Care Unit stay duration in patients with AKI was 3(1,4) days, significantly higher than those without AKI (P=0.044). There was no difference in Intensive Care Unit stay duration in patients with AKI stage 1 and without AKI (P=0.978), while Intensive Care Unit stay duration in patients with AKI stage 2 was significantly longer than those without AKI (P=0.006).@*Conclusions@#Preoperative complications of cerebral vascular disease is an independent risk factor of postoperative AKI. Non-senile patients with AKI after cardiac valvular surgery is associated with a higher proportion of mortality, hospitalization expenses and Intensive Care Unit stay duration as compared patients without postoperative AKI.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the value of proteinuria in predicting acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery in elderly patients.Methods To retrospectively analyze the perioperative clinical data of elderly patients (age 60 or older)undergone cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass at Guangdong General Hospital from January 2005 to December 2010.Target patients were divided into two groups according to AKI defined by the KDIGO criteria.Data for those two groups were examined by single-factor analysis,and then logistic regression analysis was used to further determine independent factors of AKI after cardiac surgery.Results Among 848 elderly patients,AKI occurred in 524(61.8%) participants,including 39.2%(n=332)at AKI stage 1,16.6% (n =141) at AK I stage 2,and 6.0 % (n=51) at AKI stage 3.A total of 15.9 % of patients(n=135) had preoperative proteinuria,including 12.4 % (n =106) with mild proteinuria,and 3.5 % (n =30) with heavy proteinuria.Logistic regression analysis showed that proteinuria was correlated with postoperative AKI.With the increase of proteinuria,the risk of AKI also increased,and the OR values of mild and severe proteinuria were 1.758 (1.020-3.029) and 4.758 (1.326-17.077),respectively.Conclusions Preoperative proteinuria may predict the occurrence of AKI after cardiac surgery in elderly patients.There is a gradual increase in the risk of AKI as proteinuria becomes more severe.Early institution of therapeutic interventions may be used in elderly patients with preoperative proteinuria undergoing cardiac surgery to attenuate the risk of AKI.

RESUMO
Objective We aimed to investigate the clinical values of combination of blood creatinine and cystatin C for acute kidney injury(AKI)diagnosi. Methods Total 7 627 patients were studied retrospectively. The AKI was classified by creatinine or cystatin C according to the Kidney Disease:Improving Global Outcomes criteria. Results The maximum levels of cystatin C and creatinine were correlated(Spearman′s rank coefficient 0.699,P < 0.001). The area under a receiver operating characteristic curve of maximum cystatin C value for pre-dicting in-hospital death was 0.761(95% confidence interval 0.693 ~ 0.828). Total 1 004 and 173 patients were classified into AKI by blood creatinine or by cystatin C(13.2% vs.2.3%,P<0.001),respectively.The total inci-dence of AKI was 14.7% diagnosed by the combination of the two markers.In multivariable logistic model,the cre-atinine negative plus cystatin C positive group was associated with a higher in-hospital death compared with the cre-atinine and cystatin C double negative group(OR 15.524,95% confidence interval 5.110 ~ 47.166,P < 0.001). Conclusion Combination of cystatin C increased sensitivity of creatinine for AKI diagnosis and facilitated to iden-tify in-hospital patients with high risk.
RESUMO
Objective Pulmonary hypertension (PH) was an independent predictor of mortality and new onset cardiovascular events in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Recent studies revealed PH complicated by pericardial effusion (PE) increased mortality in non-CKD (chronic kidney disease) population. No such evidence existed in MHD patients. Methods We enrolled 108 MHD patients with diagnosed PH by echocardiography (61 with PE) between 2009 and 2011. All patients had been followed-up for 2 years. The endpoints were all-cause mor-tality, cardiovascular (CV) mortality and new onset CV events. Results The mean age was (60.2 ± 14.1) years, 55.6% were males and SPAP was (53.0 ± 15.4) mmHg. 12.0% were severe PH and 1.9% were moderate-to-severe PE. The overall mortality, cardiovascular mortality and new on-set cardiovascular events in PE and non-PE group were 34.4% vs. 21.3%、 23.0% vs. 12.8% and 54.1% vs. 42.6%, respectively (P > 0.05). Kaplan-Meier curve showed there was no difference on all-cause mortality , CV mortality nor new-onset CV events between PE and non-PE group (Log Rank P > 0.05). Conclusions Compared with patients without PE, the presence of PE in patients with PH did not increase the mortality and worsen the cardiovascular outcome in MHD patients.

Objective To investigate the related risk factors of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI)after cerebrovascular intervention. Methods The clinical data of 5423 patients performed cerebrovascular angiography and intervention at the Departments of Neurology and Neurosurgery,Guangdong People′s Hospital from January 2005 to December 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients who underwent cerebrovascular angiography and intervention were evaluated and screened. A clinical history database was established. All the selected patients used iodixanol,an isotonic contrast agent. The occurrence of CI-AKI was used as an endpoint. The patients were divided into either a CI-AKI group or a non CI-AKI group. A multivariate Logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk factors associated with the occurrence of CI-AKI. Results A total of 4164 patients were finally enrolled,including 137 had CI-AKI. The incidence of CI-AKI was 3. 3%. The results of multivariate Logistic regression showed that age >60 years (OR,1. 965,95%CI 1. 244-3. 136),baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)60 years)are the independent risk factors for occurring CI-AKI after cerebrovascular angiography and intervention.
RESUMO
Objective Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication after cardiac surgery,especially in elderly patients,and related with poor prognosis.Although much advances in therapies of AKI have been obtained,the prognosis of patients did not improved.In the absence of proven interventions,a reasonable strategy would be to identify modifiable risk factors for AKI.The objective of the present study was to explore modifiable risk factors of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass in elderly patients.Methods Data from 457 consecutive elderly patients (age ≥60 years old)who underwent cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass in the Guangdong General Hospital between January 2007 and December 31,2009 were analyzed in this retrospective research.The primary outcome was AKI according to the serum creatinine criteria of the RIFLE (renal Risk,Injury,Failure,Loss of renal function and End-stage renal disease) classification as an increase in serum creatinine > 50% from baseline to peak value within the first seven postoperative days.The baseline serum creatinine was defined as the latest serum creatinine before cardiac surgery.Univariate anadysis was carried out for patients'demographics data and multivariate analysis by logistic regression was used to obtain the independent risk factors for AKI.Results Among 457 elderly patients,patients mean age was (65.22 ± 4.17) years and they comprised 253 (55.4%) men and 204 (44.6%) women.AKI occurred in 313 (68.5 %) participants.Compared with patients without postoperative AKI,the media length of intensive care unit was longer in patients with postoperative AKI,4.0 (2.0-7.5) days versus 2.0 (1.0-3.0) days,respectively.In logistic regression model,malc (odds ratio[OR] 1.894,95% confidence interval[CI] 1.136-3.157),age above 65 years (OR 2.391,95% CI 1.381-4.142),hypertension (OR 2.286,95% CI 1.249-4.184),estimated glomerular filtration rate less than 60 ml/min (OR 1.933,95% CI 1.111-3.362),preoperative uric acid > 450 μ mol/L (OR 2.938,95% CI 1.633-5.285),use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor inhibitors (ACE1/ARB) before cardiac surgery (OR 2.196,95% CI 1.283-3.759),use of ACEL/ARB after surgery (OR 0.329,95% CI 0.156-0.691),use of diuretics (OR 0.149,95% CI 0.068-0.326),time of cardiopulmonary bypass above 120 min (OR 5.228,95% CI 3.023-9.041) and prolonged mechanical ventilation (OR 2.921,95% CI 1.527-5.586) were independent factors of AKI after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.Conclusion Preoperative uric acid above 450μmol/L was a modifiable risk factor of AKI after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass in elderly patients.Therapies aimed at mitigating high preoperative uric acid may offer protection against this complication.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the protective effects of geranylgeranylacetone (GGA) on acute renal failure tats induced by isehemia reperfusion (IR) and the possible mechanism. Methods GGA (400 mg/kg) was administered to induce overexpression of heat shock protein 72 (HSP72) in the kidney of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. IR model was generated by temporary clamping the left renal artery for 45 minutes followed by right nephrectomy and 24 h reperfusion. A sham-operated group was used as normal control. 24 h after reperfnsion, rats were sacrificed. Blood was collected for measurement of serum creatinine (Scr) and blood urea nitrogen ( BUN ). Paraffin-embedded sections of the kidney were stained with PAS. Histological changes due to tubular damage were quantitated as tubular damage score. TUNEL assay was used to detect the apoptosis, and Western-blot was used to detect the expression of XIAP. Results After renal IR, the increased level of BUN and Scr, the tubular injury and the apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells were observed (P<0.01). At the same time, the decreased level of XIAP was observed (P< 0.01). Compared with the control groups, the level of HSP72 expression was up-regulated in oral administration of GGA group (P<0.05). The expression levels of BUN and serum creatinine were significantly decreased after IR injury in pre-conditioned rats with over-expression of HSP72 (P< 0.01 ). Kidney morphology was better preserved in GGA group. Rats with over-expression of HSP72 also revealed reduction of apoptotic cells by TUNEL stain and XIAP degradation by Western blot (P<0.05). Conclusion GGA attenuates renal IR injury at least in part through inhibiting tubular cell apoptosis by decreasing XAIP degradation and restoring XIAP protein level.
