▼ Assessing the impact of
acute kidney
injury in secondary care and developing strategies to improve
outcomes (Dr Lynne Sykes) Introduction:
Acute kidney injury (
AKI)
is associated with up to one in five emergency admissions to
hospital and over 300,000 deaths per year in the UK. This thesis,
presented in the alternative format, examines work undertaken to
better describe the etiology of
AKI in secondary care and then
strategies to reduce
AKI incidence, progression and complications.
Methods: Selected anonymised data from the hospital’s ‘data
warehouse’ was analysed using SPSS to calculate risk for
mortality and critical care admission, analyse background user
data, or calculate precision and bias of different point of care
tests. The International Health Institute’s Breakthrough Series
Model was used for our quality improvement methodology. Results:
The literature review suggested education, an e-alert to trigger an
AKI bundle and an in-built redundancy in the system were key to
reducing mortality and critical care admission. The literature also
demonstrates a high event rate of
AKI and significant heterogeneity
in cause and patient phenotype. The first three results chapters
describe the epidemiology of our cohort of secondary care
AKI
patients in more detail. Chapters 3 and 4 examine the risks of
different stages of
AKI and the impacts they have on mortality,
depending on admission diagnosis. Chapter 3 shows stark differences
between patient mortality in those admitted with
acute coronary
syndrome and
AKI 3 compared to those without
AKI (OR 12.8
[4.8-33.8] p<0.001) and those admitted with fractured neck of
femur and
AKI 3 compared to those without (OR 24.6 [8.9-67.9]). In
Chapter 4, the percentage of patients admitted with heart failure
dying is similar in
AKI 2 and
AKI 3 (50% versus 47% respectively),
demonstrating that escalating
AKI stage does not always equate to
escalating risk of mortality. Chapter 5 shows a specific
‘at-risk’
AKI population: patients with existing chronic
kidney
disease. Here, after a first
AKI, subsequent episodes of
AKI are
more likely to be severe. Also, the risk for needing renal
replacement therapy increases fourteenfold if a second
AKI is stage
2 or 3, or twenty-eightfold if there are three or more episodes of
AKI. The second three results chapters, Chapters 6, 7 and 8,
describe the quality improvement work undertaken to reduce the
incidence and progression of
AKI, and also its complications. The
large quality improvement programme is described in Chapter 6: it
reduced hospital-acquired
AKI by 22% and
AKI progression by 48% on
participating wards. The
AKI collaborative group developed an
AKI
app to support education and signpost to references. Its use is
detailed in Chapter 7. We compared results from point of care (POC)
analysers with laboratory values in Chapter 8 and found that
performance in the normal range showed excellent precision, and
that in several scenarios POC tests could be used (with clinical
judgment) to alter management. Conclusion: This thesis uses big
data…

▼ The prevalence of both
acute and chronic
kidney disease in animals and people is increasing. Increased serum creatinine concentration indicates a decline in renal function but is insensitive for diagnosing
acute kidney injury (
AKI). As such, there is need to develop sensitive biomarkers of renal
injury. At the fore in human medicine is a biomarker of
acute renal tubular
injury called
kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1). KIM-1 is a cell membrane glycoprotein with an extracellular domain that is shed from proximal tubular
kidney cells and detectable in urine after ischemic and toxic renal
injury. KIM-1 was undetectable in normal human urine, but presence in urine correlated with immunohistochemical detection of KIM-1 in injured tubular epithelial cells. For these reasons, KIM-1 was considered a good candidate to investigate as a biomarker of
kidney injury in cats. Alignment of KIM-1 sequences from human, rat, dog, and mice indicated a high degree of identity between species and conservation of a cytoplasmic tyrosine motif. Primers based on the conserved regions were used to amplify feline KIM-1 genomic and renal cDNA sequences. PCR assays used to amplify feline KIM-1 revealed the presence of three transcript variants derived by alternative splicing with exon-intron organization similar to KIM-1 orthologous sequences. KIM-1 was detected by IHC in tubules of the cortex and outer stripe of the outer medulla in cats with suspected naturally occurring
AKI and cats with experimental unilateral ischemia/reperfusion. The same cells also expressed aquaporin 1, confirming expression of KIM-1 in the proximal convoluted tubules. Further, KIM-1 expression correlated positively with tubular
injury scores and vimentin expression in the injured proximal tubules. Available urine immunoassay to rat Kim-1 yielded positive reactions with urine from 11 cats. In conclusion, feline KIM-1 is similar but not identical to human KIM-1. Expression is increased in cats with naturally occurring and experimental
kidney injury, and KIM-1 may be detected in urine. KIM-1 is expressed predominantly in cells of the S3 segment of proximal tubules, and appears to persist during dedifferentiation and repair of injured cells. Hence, detection of KIM-1 in urine is a promising indicator of
kidney injury in cats.

▼ Background:
Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with increased morbidity, cost, prolonged hospital stay, and greater than 50% mortality rate in abdominal surgery. Among abdominal procedures, open surgical technique has the highest risk of postoperative AKI as compared to the laparoscopic approach. Postoperative AKI is a common condition in laparotomy patients. In patients with emergency abdominal conditions, laparotomy offers the only chance for cure. Various complications (such as pneumonia, wound infection, deep vein thrombosis, and impaired renal function) occur in these patients. However, the risk factors for postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) and its effects on the clinical outcomes at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital are not well understood. There is therefore the need to collate data
General Aim:
To determine the incidence and risk factors of postoperative AKI following laparotomy for abdominal emergencies in patients with previously normal renal function at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.
Methodology: This was a prospective cohort study that was carried out on 200 patients undergoing emergency (100 patients) and elective (100 patients) laparotomy following abdominal emergencies at the surgical department of Korle Bu Teaching Hospital from June 2015 to June 2016 with a mean age of (41± 17.41) years. Five (5) mls of venous blood sample was drawn from each patient pre and post operation. Serum urea, nitrogen and creatinine were determined by modified Jaffe reaction method using Pentra C200 auto analyzer. Serum Potassium, Chloride and Sodium levels were determined using a flow technique by an Idexx VetLyte electrolyte auto analyzer. Full blood count was determined by an automated Mindary BC-6800 haematology analyzer. The 24 hours post-operative urine output was measured using a calibrated urine cup. Blood pressure was measured using an osillometric Omron device validated in adults while a digital thermometer was used in measuring body temperature. An Omron digital scale was also used to measure patient weight. Using the ratio of blood urea nitrogen (BUN, mg/dl) over serum creatinine level (Cr, mg/dl) as a marker of relative renal function and KDIGO classification which define postoperative AKI as an increase in absolute serum creatinine of at least 0.3 mg/dL or by a percentual increase in serum creatinine equal to or higher than 50% (1.5X baseline value) and/or by a decrease in urine output lower than 0.5 mL/kg/hour for more than 6 hours.
Results: The mean age of the 200 patients who underwent laparotomy was 41±17.41 years; the majority of the patients were males 133 (66.5 %) while 67 (33.5%) were females. The incidence of postoperative AKI following laparotomy is approximately is 4.5%. Multivariate analysis using logistic regression was performed to quantify the association of BUN/Cr ratio with AKI. The development of postoperative AKI was significantly associated with advanced age (p=0.01), emergency laparotomy (p=0.02), pre-operative anaemia (p=0.01) an adjusted R-Square of 0.286…

▼ Introduction: Despite major advances in renal replacement therapy
acute kidney
injury (
AKI) is still associated with high morbidity and mortality. Beside
risk factors like mechanical ventilation, acidosis has been identified as one
factor contributing to
AKI. However, in critically ill patients with multiple
risk factors a differentiated analysis of the influence of acidosis is hard to
perform. Therefore, the aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of an
acidaemia on renal function excluding sepsis or other infections. Methods: 35
young and healthy pigs were randomized into 6 groups. Three test pairs were
settled with or without exposition to a continuos veno-venous haemofiltration
(CVVH), respectively. The groups differed by: normoxaemia-balanced acid-base-
status (NB-CVVH and NB-CTRL), normoxaemia-acidaemic (NA-CVVH and NA-CTRL) and
hypoxaemia-acidaemic (HA-CVVH and HA-CTRL). Due to low-tidal-volume-
ventilation and acid-infusion a mixed acidaemia (pH 7.19-7.24) was induced
into acidaemic groups. HA-groups underwent an additional hypoxaemia. Acidemia
and hypoxaemia were maintained for five hours. Haemodynamics, ventilation
parameter, blood gas analysis and diuresis were monitored constantly as well
as interleukin-6 (IL-6), TNF-aplha and interleukin-18 (IL-18) in blood and
tissue samples, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) was analyzed
in urine specimen. Tissue samples of the kidneys were (immuno-) histologically
examined. Results: All animals were haemodynamically stable throughout the
entire experiment. Animals had sufficient diuresis facing a physiologic
cardiac output at any time. Interestingly, diuresis increased in acidemia
groups while urine-pH decreased. Increased plasma levels of IL-18 and NGAL
indicated a developing
AKI in the acidaemia groups. Concordantly, normoxic-
acidaemia groups had significantly more reversible and irreversible cell
damage in histopathological examination, just exceeded by hypoxaemia-
acidaemia groups. Due to measurements of proinflammatory cytokines in tissue
and plasma a biotrauma induced
AKI was excluded, because subgroup analysis of
immunohistology revealed an inverse correlation between tissue levels of
proinflammatory cytokines and histopathological cell damage. Conclusion: We
were able to demonstrate that an isolated acidaemia without concomitant sepsis
already leads to a relevant histologically detectable damage of the kidneys
after only five hours exposition to acidaemia. Immunohistochemical
investigations showed that other than inflammatory factors induced the renal
damage. Results are leading to the hypothesis that the acidaemia works as a
kind of „first hit“ by increasing renal workload with respect to the
correction of acid-base-status abnormalities and thereby contributing to a
depletion of renal energy reserves. Initially increasing diuresis clinically
masks the early onset of an
AKI due to the compensation for acidosis by the
kidneys.

▼ Hintergrund und Hypothese: Ischämie-bedingtes akutes Nierenversagen (ANV) kann
als schwerwiegende Komplikation in verschiedenen klinischen Situationen
auftreten und führt zu erhöhter Morbidität und Mortalität der Patienten. Zur
Entwicklung neuer therapeutischer Ansätze wird in der vorliegenden Arbeit die
Rolle von Cytochrom P450 (CYP)-abhängigen Eicosanoiden bei der Entstehung des
ANV untersucht. Zu diesen Eicosanoiden gehören 20-Hydroxyeicosatetraensäure
(20-HETE) und Epoxyeicosatriensäuren (EETs), welche als Gegenspieler bei der
Regulation des Gefäßtonus, Inflammation und Apoptose fungieren. Mittels
pharmakologischer und genetischer Interventionen wurde die Hypothese
untersucht, ob durch Verstärkung der EET-Wirkung die Auswirkungen des akutem
Nierenversagens abgemildert werden können. Experimentelles Design und
Methoden: Zunächst wurde die Wirkung eines synthetischen EET-Analogons auf den
renalen Ischämie/Reperfusions (I/R)-Schaden bei der Ratte untersucht. In einer
zweiten Versuchsreihe wurden Wildtyp (WT)- und Knockout (KO)-Mäuse für das
Enzym lösliche Epoxidhydrolase (sEH) (sEH-KO-Mäuse) eingesetzt, um die Effekte
eines verminderten EET-Abbaus auf den Schweregrad des I/R-induzierten
Nierenschadens zu analysieren. Das Ausmaß des Nierenschadens wurde anhand
funktioneller und histomorphologischer Parameter bewertet, nach dem die Tiere
einer renalen Ischämie (45 Minuten in Ratten, 22 Minuten in Mäusen) gefolgt
von einer zweitägigen Beobachtungsphase nach Reperfusion unterworfen wurden.
Die CYP-Eicosanoide wurden mittels Flüssigchromatographie Tandem-
Massenspektrometrie bestimmt. Ergebnisse: In der Rattenniere kam es während
der Ischämie zu einer gesteigerten Freisetzung von 20-HETE, während eine
vermehrte EET-Bildung ausblieb. Die Gabe eines EET-Analogons vor Ischämie
führte zu einer signifikanten Verminderung des I/R-induzierten renalen
Funktionsverlusts, der tubulären Apoptose sowie der Infiltration von
Entzündungszellen. Im Gegensatz zur Ausgangshypothese, zeigten sEH-KO Tiere
einen größeren Nierenfunktionsverlust als WT-Tiere. Auch das Ausmaß des
tubulären Schadens, sowie der tubulären Apoptose und der inflammtorischen
Gewebsreaktion war in den sEH-KO Tieren signifikant stärker als in den
Wildtypmäusen. Auf metabolischer Ebene führte der sEH-KO wie erwartetet zur
Erhöhung der endogenen EET-Spiegel in allen untersuchten Geweben (Niere, Leber
und Plasma). Zugleich wiesen die sEH-KO Tiere jedoch auch einen erhöhten 20
-HETE-Gehalt im Nierengewebe aber nicht in Plasma und Leber auf. Die erhöhten
renalen 20-HETE-Spiegel korrelierten mit einer verstärkten mRNA und Protein
Expression von Cyp4a12a, der murinen 20-HETE-Synthase, sowie einer erhöhten
immunhistochemischesn Cyp4a12a-Expression in Nierengefäßen bei sEH-KO Mäusen.
Diese Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass der potenziell schützende Effekt des
verminderten EET-Abbaus durch eine Nieren-spezifische Steigerung der 20-HETE-
Bildung in sEH-KO Mäusen aufgehoben wurde. Zusammenfassung: Die Ergebnisse aus
beiden Tiermodellen zeigen, dass eine Imbalanz zwischen 20-HETE…

▼ Currently, there are no successful therapies proven to ameliorate
acute kidney injury (
AKI).
AKI secondary to ischemia reperfusion
injury (IRI) leads to increased morbidity and mortality. The role of iron sequestration throughout cardiac surgery remains unclear, however it may be an important modifier of renal ischemia reperfusion
injury. The primary goal was to characterize iron regulatory pathways in a prospective observational cohort of adult cardiac surgery patients in the context of clinical
AKI predictors and in relation to clinical prediction alone. The secondary goal was to evaluate potential proteins that may act as non-invasive biomarkers for the early detection of
AKI, including urine hepcidin-25, serum ferritin, serum transferrin saturation (TSAT) and urine lactotransferrin. We found that urine hepcidin-25 at postoperative day 1 and serum ferritin and TSAT at 1 hour into cardiopulmonary bypass were independent predictors of

▼ Several recent studies have assessed the use of biomarkers of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), but the information among patients with stone disease and those with obstructive uropathy is limited. For this reason, we conducted a prospective cohort study to determine the urinary levels of KIM-1, Total and Monomeric NGAL in patients with hydronephrosis secondary to renal stone disease, congenital ureteropelvic junction obstruction or ureteral stricture, and in a group of healthy controls in our health care center. Urinary biomarker concentrations were evaluated before and after surgical treatment. Patients with hydronephrosis showed significantly higher baseline levels of KIM-1 compared to those patients without hydronephrosis. KIM-1 was the only urinary biomarker significantly affected by the presence of hydronephrosis. Total and Monomeric NGAL correlated with the presence of leukocyturia. Our results show that KIM-1 is a promising biomarker of subclinical AKI associated with hydronephrosis in urological patients.

▼ Acute Kidney injury (
AKI) is common and frequently fatal. Delay in plasma creatinine based diagnosis of
AKI has compromised clinical trials of experimentally promising therapies of
kidney injury. Therefore, a number of potential early urinary and plasma biomarkers of renal cell
injury have been evaluated in several clinical and experimental studies. However, many uncertainties remain in the diagnostic and predictive capability of these biomarkers in various forms of
AKI, especially in heterogeneous population.
The overall aim in this project was to analyse the diagnostic and predictive performance of some novel
AKI biomarkers in a heterogeneous high-risk population. This project focused on the performance of plasma and urinary cystatin C (CysC) as markers of
kidney function and
injury respectively and both as predictors of mortality. This involved separate analysis of plasma and urinary CysC clinical data, and an experimental study investigating the performance of urinary CysC in the presence of albuminuria. Finally, the ability of fractional urinary biomarkers (fractional excretion of sodium (FENa) and urea (FEurea) to distinguish between so-called pre-renal
AKI and established
AKI was assessed.
Clinical data came from the EARLYARF study, which was initiated by Professor Zoltan Endre prior to commencement of my PhD project. I participated in data collection and data entry for the large part of this study and I was provided access to the database to address the objectives of my thesis. The hypotheses were explored by analysing data arising from this study. The experimental study of the effect of proteinuria and albuminuria on urinary CysC arose from the observation of cystatinuria in children with proteinuria. This was explored in an animal model of transient albuminuria, which I developed.
Plasma CysC has been proposed as an alternative to plasma creatinine as a measure of renal function. In Chapter 3, relative changes of plasma CysC and plasma creatinine were compared in critically ill patients. I was able to demonstrate that plasma CysC generally increased prior to plasma creatinine. Plasma CysC and creatinine were similarly moderately predictive of death or the need for dialysis. Plasma CysC was a more effective and earlier surrogate marker of decreased renal function than plasma creatinine in a general intensive care unit population.
In Chapter 4, the utility of urinary CysC as a diagnostic marker of
AKI, and predictor of mortality in critically ill patients was evaluated. Urinary CysC was diagnostic of and predictive of death. Unexpectedly, it was also found to be diagnostic of sepsis. Concentrations of urinary CysC were significantly higher in the presence of sepsis (p<0.0001) or
AKI (p<0.0001). There was no interaction between sepsis and
AKI on the urinary CysC concentrations (p=0.53). Urinary CysC was independently associated with
AKI, sepsis, and death within 30 days.
Low molecular weight (LMW) proteins, including albumin and novel urinary biomarkers of
AKI such as CysC and neutrophil…

▼ Background: Survivors of severe acute kidney injury remain at high risk of death well-after apparent recovery from the initial event.
Methods: We conducted a cohort study of hospitalized adults in Ontario from 1996 to 2008 with acute kidney injury who received temporary dialysis and survived for 90 days following discharge independent from dialysis. The exposure was nephrology follow-up. We used propensity scores to match individuals with early nephrology follow-up to those without. The primary outcome was time to mortality.
Results : We identified 3877 patients with acute kidney injury who met the eligibility criteria. A total of 1583 patients had nephrology follow. The incidence of all-cause mortality was lower in those with early nephrology follow-up as compared to those without early follow-up (8.4 vs. 10.6 per 100 person-years, HR 0.76 (95% CI 0.62-0.93)).
Conclusions: Nephrology follow-up after hospitalization with acute kidney injury and temporary dialysis was associated with improved survival.

▼ Introduction: Limited data exist regarding outcomes of patients with outpatient acute kidney injury (AKI). To determine whether outpatient AKI is associated with increased mortality and chronic kidney disease (CKD), we conducted a retrospective cohort study utilizing an electronic health record in Minnesota. Methods: All adult patients receiving primary care through Fairview Health Services were included. All outpatient Cr values during an 18 month exposure period were used to define five comparator groups as follows: No outpatient AKI (reference group), outpatient AKI with recovery, outpatient AKI without recovery, outpatient AKI without repeat Cr, or no Cr. A Cox proportional hazard model was utilized to assess whether outpatient AKI was associated with an increase in mortality, CKD stage 4 and secondary outcomes including hospitalization and recurrent AKI. Results: The cohort consisted of 384,869 patients and 51% had at least one Cr measured during the exposure period. Outpatient AKI occurred in 1.4% of patients during the 18 month exposure period and 37.8% recovered while 26.5% had no repeat Cr. Mortality was 3.2% over an average follow-up of 5.3 years. Outpatient AKI was associated with an increased risk of mortality (aHR 1.90, 95% CI 1.76-2.06) and CKD stage 4 (aHR 1.33, 95% CI 1.11-1.59) including those that recovered from their AKI (mortality aHR 2.15, 95% CI 1.91-2.41; CKD aHR 1.73, 95% CI 1.37-2.19) and in those with stage 1 AKI (mortality aHR 1.90, 95% CI 1.74-2.07; CKD aHR 1.34, 95% CI 1.10-1.62). Outpatient AKI was also associated with with an increased risk of hospitalization (aHR 1.71, 95% CI 1.63-1.79), hospital AKI (aHR 2.14, 95% CI 1.93-2.37), and recurrent outpatient AKI (aHR 2.75, 95% CI 2.57-2.93). Conclusion: Outpatient AKI is common and is a risk factor for death, CKD, hospitalization, and recurrent AKI, including those with stage 1 AKI and those that recover.

▼ The Slit family of secreted proteins act as axonal repellents during embryogenesis. Slit2 via its receptor, Roundabout-1, also inhibits chemotaxis of multiple leukocyte subsets. Using static and microfluidic shear assays, we found that Slit2 inhibited multiple steps required to recruit circulating neutrophils. Slit2 blocked capture and firm adhesion of human neutrophils to and transmigration across inflamed primary vascular endothelial cells. To determine the response of Slit2 in renal ischemia reperfsuion injury, Slit2 was administered prior to bilateral renal pedicle clamping in mice. This led to significant decreases in both renal tubular necrosis score and neutrophil infiltration. Administration of Slit2 also prevented elevation of plasma creatinine following injury in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, administration of Slit2 did not increase hepatic bacterial load in mice infected with L.monocytogenes infection. Collectively, these data demonstrate Slit2 as an exciting therapeutic molecule to combat renal ischemia reperfusion injury without compromising protective host innate immune functions.

▼ Acute kidney injury (
AKI) is a devastating
and often lethal condition in which
kidney nephron cells are
destroyed by damage from ischemia or toxin exposure. Interestingly,
there is evidence that suggests nephron epithelial cells can
regenerate after some forms of damage, but there is a poor
understanding of the cellular and molecular events that mediate
nephron regeneration. The zebrafish is an attractive and viable
system to study the molecular pathways responsible for nephron
regeneration, as its nephrons are simple, yet they maintain the
biological complexity inherent to that of higher organisms
including mammals. Previous studies have demonstrated that
gentamicin-based chemical
injury in zebrafish mimics human
AKI, but
detailed analysis of the cellular events associated with damage was
not reported. We generated a novel toolkit of cellular and
molecular protocols to perform this analysis in the zebrafish. We
explored the feasibility of
AKI studies in the zebrafish embryo,
and identified basic aspects of the
injury process. Next, we
extensively characterized the cellular changes resulting from
gentamicin
injury in the adult zebrafish using our platform of
histology and immunohistochemistry techniques. This work has
established the timing of renal cell death after
injury, identified
proliferative compartments within the
kidney, and led to the
assessment of gene expression changes associated with the
regenerative response of proliferating cells. Taken together, this
dissertation project has provided a greater understanding of the
full cycle of regenerative events. Insights from this work can be
applied in future studies toward the design of chemical genetics
screens in the adult and/or embryonic zebrafish to identify renal
regeneration pathways and provide novel insights into the signals
that orchestrate
kidney epithelial
regeneration.

▼ The incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is rising and the consequences of CKD include premature mortality and progression to end stage kidney disease. Renal ischaemia reperfusion injury (IRI) occurring in clinical settings leads to acute kidney injury (AKI) that predisposes to the development of CKD. The hallmark lesion in CKD is renal fibrosis and clinically there is no direct anti-fibrotic therapy available to halt or reverse the development of renal fibrosis. The adenosinergic pathway is activated during renal IRI and the enzyme CD39 is involved in the generation of adenosine, which has been demonstrated to be protective in the acute phase of IRI. This thesis explores the potential of CD39 (either overexpression of a CD39 transgene or administration of soluble apyrase) and the adenosine A2B receptor (A2BR) as therapeutic targets in the reduction of renal fibrosis that develops after the acute phase of IRI.
Using mouse models of renal IRI, it was demonstrated that a transient increase in CD39 activity before IRI, by administration of the enzyme apyrase, effectively reduced AKI and renal fibrosis. However, continuously elevated CD39 activity, achieved by overexpression of the human CD39 transgene (CD39Tg), protected against AKI but led to increased renal adenosine content and increased renal fibrosis.
Renal fibrosis following IRI was also shown to be associated with increased A2BR mRNA expression in the kidney, and the role of the A2BR in renal fibrosis was examined by administration of a specific A2BR inhibitor. Inhibition of the A2BR following IRI significantly down-regulated a number of signalling molecules that contribute to fibrosis, although no change in fibrosis was demonstrable. While increased adenosine and A2BR activity protect from acute IRI, these studies show that a sustained increase in adenosine levels and increased A2BR expression after IRI promote renal fibrosis. This suggests a dual role for adenosine and the A2BR in renal injury following IRI, which has not previously been recognised.
Finally, in a model of unilateral ureteric obstruction (UUO), CD39Tg mice developed a similar extent of fibrosis to that of WT littermates, in contrast to the increased renal fibrosis seen in CD39Tg mice after IRI. These findings indicate that different mechanisms of injury affect different pathways in the development of renal fibrosis. In conclusion, the studies described in this thesis demonstrate that soluble apyrase and A2BR inhibition are potential therapeutic tools to reduce the development of renal fibrosis following IRI. This thesis also highlights the need to identify and understand the multiple pathways involved in the development of renal fibrosis and the possibility that combination therapies will be more effective than single agents in the treatment and prevention of CKD following IRI.

▼ Background: Cardiac Surgery Associated Acute Kidney Injury (CSA-AKI) is one of the most serious complications of heart surgery. The fact of the known time of an elective cardiac surgery makes it an ideal model for early diagnosis and prevention of CSA-AKI. The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of hydration both on the frequency of CSA-AKI and on the biomarkers Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) and Kidney Injury Molecule-1 (KIM-1) by focusing on sodium bicarbonate and sodium chloride solutions. Secondary aim is to examine the diagnostic value of biomarkers in the prediction of CSA-AKI by focusing on the predictive system of Age-Creatinine-Ejection Fraction (ACEF) score, the postoperative change in serum creatinine six hours after the induction of anesthesia (ΔSCr) as well as the newer molecules NGAL and KIM-1 with the pursuit of developing an ideal prevention tool. Material and Methods: From February 2012 to October 2014, all adult patients who underwent elective, on pump artery bypass grafting and/or valve repair with a predisposition to manifest CSA-AKI were enrolled. Patients were randomized to intravenous infusion of isotonic sodium chloride or sodium bicarbonate or none of them for 24 hours. Urinary NGAL and KIM-1 were measured before the induction of anesthesia and 18 hours post-surgery. CSA-AKI was defined on the basis of the current guidelines of Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO). All statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS 24.Results: From a total of 112, finally enrolled in the study 86 patients. CSA-AKI appeared in 14 (16,3%) patients. No statistically significant correlation was observed between isotonic sodium chloride or sodium bicarbonate solution and the manifestation of CSA-AKI. Also, there was not observed any statistically significant effect of hydration with isotonic sodium chloride or sodium bicarbonate solution on biomarkers NGAL and KIM-1. ΔSCr, ACEF score, NGAL and KIM-1 as CSA-AKI biomarkers showed AUC of 0.537, 0.692, 0.575 and 0.507 respectively. NGAL and KIM-1 combination showed AUC of 0.507 while ΔSCr combinations with NGAL and KIM-1 had similarly low scores. The combinations with ACEF score showed high AUCs and especially the combination of post-operative NGAL with ACEF score had AUC of 0.768. The combination of post-operative NGAL and KIM-1 with ACEF score showed AUC of 0.788. Conclusions: Hydration with isotonic sodium bicarbonate solution or normal saline does not deter the manifestation of CSA-AKI nor does it affect the biomarkers NGAL and KIM-1. The combination of NGAL 18 hours postoperatively with ACEF score is a reliable prognostic biomarker of CSA-AKI.

▼ INTRODUCTION :
Acute kidney injury (
AKI) is a disorder that is defined by rising serum creatinine and reduced urine output. It occurs in approximately 1-7% of hospitalized patients and is a major predictor of morbidity and mortality. It increases the costs and duration of hospital stay.
AKI has been extensively studied post cardiac surgery, but there has been little attention on
AKI occurring after non cardiac surgery . There have been few studies on
AKI from developing countries and a paucity of data of post non cardiac surgery
AKI. OBJECTIVE : To identify which known risk factors for
AKI are commonly encountered at Groote Schuur Hospital, to document 30 and 90 day mortality, length of hospital stay, recovery of renal function at 90 days and identify factors associated with outcome post non-cardiac surgery. DESIGN: Prospective observational study. SETTING: Surgical Wards and ICU. PARTICIPANTS: Patients with
AKI post non-cardiac surgery admitted between July 2012 and July 2013, who were 18 years and above without underlying stage 5 chronic
kidney disease. OUTCOME MEASURES: Mortality, identification of risk factors, length of hospital stay and recovery of renal function. RESULTS: Of 367 patients referred to renal unit with
AKI, 60 patients met inclusion criteria. Patients had an average age of 52.8 years (standard deviation 16.6) and 70% (42/60) were male. 61.7% (37 /60) were Coloured, 20% (12/60) were White and 18.3% (11/60) were Black. These patients were exposed to the following risk factors: 80%(48/60) had emergency surgery, 66. 7%(40/60) had sepsis, 65%(39/60) had perioperative contrast exposure, 53.3%(32/60) had hypotension that required inotropic support in 50%(30/60). Mortality was 33.3% (20/60) at 30 days and 45% (27/60) at 90 days. Of the 33 patients who did not die, 81.8% (27 /33) recovered their renal function to normal baseline creatinine at 90 days. Of the 6 patients, whose renal function did not return to baseline, none required long term dialysis. Perioperative contrast exposure was associated with a longer median length of hospital stay compared to patients not exposed to contrast (21 vs 16 days respectively, p<0.05). Sepsis and age > 60 years was associated with poor recovery of renal function (p=0.005, p=0.01 respectively). No risk factor was identified to be associated with mortality. CONCLUSION: Risk factors for post non cardiac surgery
AKI commonly encountered at Groote Schuur Hospital were emergency surgery, sepsis, hypotension, perioperative use of inotropes and perioperative contrast exposure. The latter was identified as a modifiable risk factor which significantly prolonged hospital stay. Sepsis and age > 60 years were associated with poorer recovery of renal function.

▼ Increases in serum creatinine (sCr) and oliguria are the current functional criteria for recognising
acute kidney injury (
AKI) including
AKI causing delayed graft function (DGF) and slow graft function (SGF) following
kidney transplantation. However, there are limitations to GFR reduction as a marker of
AKI or its successful treatment. Moreover, increases in sCr or oliguria have limitations as surrogates of GFR. Alternatives for evaluation of
AKI and DGF include other functional biomarkers and urinary biomarkers of
kidney damage.We developed a time-dependent biomarker profile of moderate-to-severe cisplatin-induced
AKI in rats, and evaluated histological
injury, functional biomarkers, and
kidney-damage biomarkers. Several potential interventions to ameliorate cisplatin-induced
AKI were then assessed. Subsequently,
kidney damage biomarkers were monitored during the functional amelioration of alpha-lipoic acid (A-LA) for treatment of cisplatin-induced-
AKI, with the general aim of evaluating whether damage biomarkers could improve monitoring of intervention in
AKI. The clinical use of novel functional and damage biomarkers in the diagnosis of cisplatin-induced
AKI was also evaluated in an observational study. Finally, observational studies were conducted to evaluate functional biomarkers including kinetic eGFR, and
kidney damage biomarkers for diagnosis of DGF or SGF. A-LA treatment ameliorated cisplatin-induced
AKI in rats with protection demonstrated by reductions in structural damage, markers of loss of function, and in biomarkers of tubular damage. In the first clinical study, plasma cystatin C increased independently of other functional or damage
AKI biomarkers after cisplatin-based chemotherapy, suggesting limitations to cystatin C use in this context. In a second clinical study, VEGF-A, urinary clusterin and the cell cycle arrest biomarkers TIMP-2 and IGFBP7 predicted with DGF within 4 hours of transplantation. Despite the usual limitations of sCr, early and frequent assessment of rate of change of sCr also predicted DGF: the creatinine reduction ratio predicted DGF within 12 hours, while estimates of kinetic GFR were predictive within 4 hours of renal transplantation.Despite a clear need for novel
AKI biomarkers, their use and interpretation remains context-specific. These novel
AKI biomarkers require robust pre-clinical data, evaluation in specific contexts, and comparison with currently available parameters before clinical use.

▼ Acute kidney injury (
AKI) following self-poisoning with herbicides is common and an important predictor of mortality. Early diagnosis may reduce mortality if successful treatments are developed.
AKI is diagnosed by changes in serum creatinine (sCr), a surrogate of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). This delays diagnosis and underestimates extent of
injury, so use of sCr to diagnose nephrotoxicity is suboptimal. We prospectively studied Sri Lankan subjects admitted to hospitals following deliberate drug/chemical ingestion and after snake envenomation. This thesis focuses on two herbicides, paraquat and glyphosate. Firstly, we hypothesised that the abrupt increase in sCr following paraquat poisoning was so rapid and was unlikely to be due solely to nephrotoxicity. We assessed this by comparing kinetics of sCr and serum cystatin C, and influences of non-renal factors. The increase in creatinine greatly exceeded that predicted or even possible with maximal decreases in GFR. We speculated this represents increased production of creatine and creatinine to meet energy demands following paraquat-induced oxidative stress. Creatinine was not a good marker of GFR and paraquat nephrotoxicity should be evaluated using more specific renal biomarkers.The utility of 10 structural
injury biomarkers was then evaluated. Three (urinary cystatin C, NGAL and clusterin) of 10 showed a modest performance in detecting
AKI. Most patients with
AKI died due to multi-organ failure within 2 days and sCr predicted mortality independently of GFR. Therefore, any additional clinical utility of
injury biomarkers to sCr was limited in paraquat poisoning.We assessed the influence of proteinuria on biomarker excretion. Albuminuria was associated with increased excretion of most biomarkers and biomarker cutoffs for prediction of death were higher. Diagnostic cutoffs for outcome prediction and stratification must be modified if albuminuria is due to comorbid conditions.Finally, the role of biomarkers in detecting nephrotoxicity and their added value to sCr was evaluated in 90 patients following glyphosate-surfactant herbicide (GPSH) poisoning. GPSH-induced nephrotoxicity was common but generally mild and reversible. It can be diagnosed within 8-16 hours by cytochrome C (uCytoC). The early increases in uCytoC and interleukin-18 support a primary mechanism of GPSH-induced nephrotoxicity involving mitochondrial toxicity and apoptosis and use of these biomarkers may identify mechanism-specific targets for treatments.

▼ Background:
Acute kidney injury (
AKI), caused by
decreased renal perfusion or a direct
kidney insult, results in
increased morbidity and mortality independent of underlying disease
pathology in children. Early recognition, particularly in the
Emergency Department (ED), is paramount to mitigate further
injury
induced by nephrotoxic treatments. Diagnosis of
AKI by current
definition utilizing changes in serum creatinine (SCr) is
challenging in the pediatric setting and can lead to delayed
recognition. No studies have defined the scope of this problem from
the pediatric ED.Objectives: To (1) define those children who
develop
AKI within 48 hours of admission from the ED and (2)
ascertain patient-related factors identifiable in the ED that is
associated with
AKI. Study Design: This is a retrospective,
observational study of children birth to 19 years of age who were
admitted to a pediatric hospital from the ED between 01/2010 and
12/2013 and had a SCr drawn within the first 48 hours. Exclusion
criteria included being anephric, a history of chronic
kidney
disease stage IV or V, or a recent admission/surgery within 72
hours of presentation.
AKI was defined as a serum creatinine = 1.5
times baseline or, where baseline not present it was imputed using
an estimated creatinine clearance of 120 ml/min/1.73 m2.
Demographics, medical history, laboratory values, medications,
procedures, and disposition were extracted. Frequencies were used
to characterize the population. Differences between groups were
determined by t-tests or chi-square analysis. A list of
patient-related factors associated with
AKI in the ED was
formulated a priori based on current literature and included
demographics, past medical history, past surgical history, ED
procedures, ED medications, and disposition. Bivariable and
multivariable logistic regression was performed to determine
factors associated with development of
AKI. Results: The study
cohort comprised 13,827 subjects, of which 1,436 (10.4%) had
AKI
(34.8% were SCr = 2.0 times above baseline) and 1083 (75%) were
identifiable in the ED. Of those kids with
AKI, 2.7% required
dialysis, 0.6% required intubation in the ED, 0.4% had inotropy
started in the ED, 17.2% required central venous access, and 2.0%
died during the hospital admission (all significantly more than
children without
AKI). Nearly 20% with
AKI received a nephrotoxic
medication in the ED. All factors identified a priori were entered
into the bivariable model, had a p < 0.25, and then were added
to the multivariable model. Young age, history of
AKI, history of
solid organ transplant, receiving intravenous fluids in the ED,
central venous access in the ED, and admission to the intensive
care unit (ICU) were all factors independently associated with
AKI.Conclusions: One child per day, admitted at a large tertiary
hospital, had
AKI while in the ED. 25% were not identifiable by
current methods. Young age, history of solid organ transplant and
AKI, need for central venous access, intravenous fluid in the ED
and ICU admission are all independently…

▼ We evaluated the possibility of using FDG PET CT imaging in the kidneys of patients with acute and chronic kidney disease. This was a retrospective study in which FDG PET CT imaging results were reviewed from a cohort of patients with chronic kidney disease and a cohort of patients with acute kidney injury along with matched controls. Our results suggest that FDG PET CT can differentiate healthy kidneys from those with stage 3b or 4 chronic kidney disease. In patients with acute kidney injury, there was substantial variability in renal cortical FDG signal compared to that of matched controls. Our results demonstrate that patients with chronic kidney disease maintain renal cortical FDG avidity until the progression of end stage renal disease. Further ongoing study is needed to determine whether distinct causes of AKI may be differentiated through FDG PET CT or other imaging.

Background : Nephrotoxicity is the major side effect that limits the dose of cisplatin that can be safely administered, and it is a clinical problem in cancer patients who received cisplatin combination chemotherapy. Recent evidence has demonstrated that patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have an increased risk of developing acute kidney injury (AKI). The present study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of CKD risk factors in patients who received cisplatin and to assess the correlation between CKD risk factors and cisplatin-induced AKI.Methods : We retrospectively analyzed 84 patients treated with cisplatin combination chemotherapy for thoracic malignancies. AKI was defined as a decrease in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) > 25 % from base line, an increase in the serum creatinine (sCre) level of > 0.3 mg/dl or ≥ 1.5 times the baseline level.Results : Eighty of the 84 patients (95.2 %) had at least one risk factor for CKD. All enrolled patients received cisplatin with hydration, magnesium supplementation and mannitol. Cisplatin-induced AKI was observed in 18 patients (21.4 %). Univariate analysis revealed that cardiac disease and use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) were associated with cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity (odds ratios [OR] 6 and 3.56, 95 % confidence intervals [CI] 1.21–29.87 and 1.11–11.39, p = 0.04 and p = 0.04, respectively). Multivariate analysis revealed that cisplatin nephrotoxicity occurred significantly more often in patients with both risk factors (OR 13.64, 95 % CI 1.11–326.83, p = 0.04). Patients with more risk factors for CKD tended to have a greater risk of developing cisplatin-induced AKI.Conclusions : We should consider avoiding administration of cisplatin to patients with CKD risk factors, particularly cardiac disease and NSAID use.

▼ Background Urinary neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin (U‐NGAL) is an early predictor of acute kidney injury and adverse events in various diseases; however, in acute decompensated heart failure patients, its significance remains poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of U‐NGAL on the first day of admission for the occurrence of acute kidney injury and long‐term outcomes in acute decompensated heart failure patients. Methods and Results We studied 260 acute decompensated heart failure patients admitted to our department between 2011 and 2014 by measuring U‐NGAL in 24‐hour urine samples collected on the first day of admission. Primary end points were all‐cause eath, cardiovascular death, and heart failure admission. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to their median U‐NGAL levels (32.5 μg/gCr). The high‐U‐NGAL group had a significantly higher occurrence of acute kidney injury during hospitalization than the low‐U‐NGAL group (P=0.0012). Kaplan‐Meier analysis revealed that the high‐U‐NGAL group exhibited a worse prognosis than the low‐U‐NGAL group in all‐cause death (hazard ratio 2.07; 95%CI 1.38‐3.12, P=0.0004), cardiovascular death (hazard ratio 2.29; 95%CI 1.28‐4.24, P=0.0052), and heart failure admission (hazard ratio 1.77; 95%CI 1.13‐2.77, P=0.0119). The addition of U‐NGAL to the estimated glomerular filtration rate significantly improved the predictive accuracy of all‐cause mortality (P=0.0083). Conclusions In acute decompensated heart failure patients, an elevated U‐NGAL level on the first day of admission was related to the development of clinical acute kidney injury and independently associated with poor prognosis.

▼ Renal ischaemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) which is in turn the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients. The principle aim of this thesis was to evaluate potential new therapies that might afford protection against IRI in both in vitro and in vivo settings. Recent evidence suggests that nitrite (NO2-) may play an important role in protecting the myocardium from IRI. Our initial work into the role of NO2- in an in vitro model of renal IRI in proximal tubular epithelial cells provided evidence that NO2- can prevent apoptosis and preserve cell viability. This lead to an in vivo study where high NO2- concentrations (50 mg/L) were given orally to rats for 7 days prior to inducing renal IRI but no beneficial effects of this treatment were observed. Another potential treatment identified was thiamine (vitamin B1) and this, like NO2-was investigated to see if it had the potential to protect rats from AKI injury. It has been previously recognized that in renal IRI the high energy phosphate ATP is found to be severely depleted whilst is is known that thiamine can play a pivotal role in generating ATP. Furthermore, thiamine has previously been demonstrated to protect against myocardial ischaemic injury and has the ability to reduce myocardial infarct size. In vitro, thiamine was found to reduce the degree of apoptosis in cultured HK-2 cells caused by ischaemia whilst in vivo it afforded protection against AKI caused by renal IRI by anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant mechanisms. Finally, a study into the possible therapeutic role of gene therapy with bone morphogenic protein 7 (BMP-7) in renal IRI was undertaken. Previous work has established that i.v. BMP-7 is able to protect against renal IRI but it has also been associated with ectopic bone formation at the site of injection. Therefore another method to increase circulating BMP-7 was sought. We initially found that BMP-7 gene therapy could attenuate apoptosis and preserves cell viability in an in vitro model of renal IRI. However, whilst in vivo gene therapy with electroporation of BMP-7 plasmid DNA increased BMP-7 expression in mice serum 2 days post electroporation, it was unable to protect the animals against IRI induced AKI. In rats the direct injection of naked DNA BMP-7 plasmid systematic 2 days prior to renal IRI was able to upregulate BMP-7 expression 4 days later in kidney tissue. Despite this it was unable to afford protection against renal IRI. Apoptosis and necrosis play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of renal IRI induced AKI. In this thesis we investigated the role of three putative therapeutic agents and their role in apoptosis and necrosis in vitro in PTECs and in vivo against renal IRI induced AKI. All three therapeutic drugs were able to attenuate apoptosis in PTECs but were unable to protect against necrosis, whilst against renal IRI induced AKI only thiamine was found to be protective. Thiamine appears to hold the most promise and more work needs to be undertaken so…

▼ Acute kidney injury (AKI) continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Septic shock, hypovolaemia, and renal ischaemia related to major surgeries are the primary contributors to AKI in hospitalised patients. AKI is associated with a four-fold increase in mortality in hospitalised patients, and a two-fold increase in the likelihood of discharge to a short- or long-term care facility. As a result, the estimated healthcare costs associated with AKI in hospitalised patients in the US alone exceeds US$10billion per year. Studies have also demonstrated that AKI resulting from ischaemia-reperfusion (IR) is a causative determinant in the development, and progression, of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Despite major medical advances to the current day, short of supportive measures there is still no definitive therapeutic option available to prevent AKI in these settings.
Preconditioning (PC) against renal IR injury has been heralded as a promising solution to abrogate this major healthcare problem, and an extensive volume of research has amassed in this area.
Preconditioning is a phenomenon whereby an innate tissue adaptation occurs in response to a sublethal stimulus, which leads to protection of an organ or tissue against a subsequent insult. PC was first discovered in the context of ischaemic PC (IPC), where brief sublethal periods of ischaemia led to protection against a subsequent more sustained period of ischaemia in the canine heart.
Since the discovery of the IPC phenomenon in 1986, tissue protection against ischaemia by means of IPC has been demonstrated by a number of methods in a variety of tissues, including the heart, brain, liver, kidney, and striated smooth muscle. The promise of these findings has also prompted research into the use of alternative methods of tissue PC, and studies have since investigated the use of pharmaceutical agents to promote these tissue adaptations by pharmacological preconditioning (PPC). The race for a pharmaceutical agent capable of eliciting protective adaptations against tissue ischaemia has involved many classes of pharmaceutical compounds, endogenous proteins, and trace elements. Zinc (Zn) is a metal that is essential to many biological functions, including cell growth and
survival. The omnipresence of Zn in cellular interactions, and its importance in so many biological processes has led to the investigation of augmenting Zn homeostasis as a means of protection against tissue ischaemia. This is the primary topic of this thesis.
The promise of enabling organ protection against IR injury has major clinical implications, spanning many areas of medicine. However, despite the extensive volume of clinical and basic science research in this area, there is still currently no effective method of PC that will protect the human kidney against IR injury.
The aims of this thesis are to investigate if parenteral Zn can be used as a therapeutic
strategy to protect the kidney against IR injury. The body of research on the topic of
tissue PC has highlighted some…

▼ Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the sudden decrease or loss of kidney function caused by direct kidney injury or functional impairment. Many patients do not recover renal function, leading to poor quality of life and high healthcare costs. Previous work has been done to evaluate urinary biomarkers associated with AKI, but these studies have focused on a few proteins with questionable diagnostic ability. Due to the complex pathophysiology of AKI, it may be necessary to create a panel of biomarkers for diagnostic and prognostic assessment of AKI. We explored metabolic biomarkers of AKI in combat casualties using metabolomics. In this study, we used proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy to identify urinary metabolic biomarkers associated with the following outcomes: AKI diagnosis, injury severity score (ISS), AKI stage, or a primary outcome of death or need for renal replacement therapy (RRT).

▼ Ischemia and reperfusion are natural steps during kidney transplantation, and IRI is considered one of the most important nonspecific factors affecting allograft dysfunction. Transplanted organs experience several episodes of ischemia, in which cold ischemia occurs during allograft storage in preservation solutions.
Even though cold ischemia has been studied extensively, all of the studies have been carried out in vitro and ex vivo models. There is no in vivo model available to examine renal IRI induced solely by cold ischemia.
In the present study, we developed an in vivo mouse model to study renal IRI induced exclusively by cold ischemia through clamping the renal pedicle for 1 to 5 hours. During the ischemic phase, blood was flushed from the kidney with cold saline through a small opening on the renal vein. The kidney was kept cold in a kidney cup with circulating cooled saline, while the body temperature was maintained at 37℃ during the experiment. The level of kidney injury was evaluated by plasma creatinine, KIM-1, NAGL, GFR, and histology.
Plasma creatinine was significantly increased from 0.15±0.04 mg/dl in the sham group to 1.14±0.21 and 2.65±0.14 mg/dl in 4 and 5-hours ischemia groups at 24 hours after cold IRI. The plasma creatinine in mice with ischemic time <3 hours demonstrated no significant increase compared with sham mice. Changes in KIM-1, NAGL, GFR and histology were similar to plasma creatinine. 65
In summary, we developed and characterized a novel in vivo IRI-induced AKI mouse model exclusively produced by cold ischemia.

▼ Recurrent events are commonly encountered in biomedical research studies and clinical trials. Many previous studies are done to investigate recurrent event analysis. As introduced in Chapter 1, some of the early work on recurrent event focuses on survival outcomes and others on longitudinal outcomes. If recurrent events are
correlated with a failure event, such as death, we no longer should assume independent censoring. Many reports in the literature incorporate a latent variable model to account for the correlation between the time to event T and the number of recurrent events N(t).
We fi�rst jointly model the time to primary outcome and the number of recurrent events with the frailty model, using a Zero-inflated-Poisson-Weibull distribution. We develop the analytical forms and details in the full parametric setting; however, such a model may be over-parameterized and di�cult to apply, which limits
us from applying full likelihood-based analyses.
Because of the limitation of the frailty model, we propose a joint distribution for (T;N) based on conditional distributions. We illustrate the use of this joint distribution to model the recurrent events of
acute kidney injury (
AKI) and time to primary outcome (death) in patients with and without chronic
kidney disease (CKD) and
AKI. In this fully parametric model, we develop the intensity ratio for the recurrent events and the hazard ratios for the failure event among different groups of patients with or without an
AKI event at the index hospitalization and with or without CKD at the index hospitalization. Based on our model, we then investigate if recurrent
AKI is predictive of death.
Further, we are interested in a non-terminal event, such as End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), which may be censored by a terminal event (Death), but not vice versa. The previous methods, such as a cause-speci�c hazards model and a subdistribution hazards model are based on the independence assumption, which
is not appropriate in such case. Therefore, we introduce and develop a semi competing risk approach with a Gaussian copula, using the tri-variate Weibull distribution. Then we illustrate the results from di�fferent approaches with a simulated data example. Finally, we compare di�fferent tri-variate Weibull distributions
with Gaussian copula, Clayton copula or under independence, via a series of simulation studies. Two sets of data are generated by tri-variate Weibull distributions with either Gaussian or Clayton copula, to test the bias of performances with each method.

▼ Background
Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) is a rapidly growing treatment for critically ill patients. The management of this life-saving therapy is extremely complicated; requiring highly trained professionals in the intensive care unit. Since the epidemic of influenza A in 2009, the usage of ECMO has increased by a 1000 fold. Unfortunately, the research and data is not able to keep up. Herein, we aim to increase this data with our own and look for markers that show an increase risk of mortality. We especially want to take note of blood product usage,
kidney function, and patient platelet counts as indicators for increased mortality.
Methods
This is a retrospective analysis of patients that underwent VA ECMO treatment at Banner University Medical Center – Tucson, during the time period of January 2010 – December 2015. We disqualified patients that were on VA ECMO for less than 22 hours, as we felt this was not long enough of a time period to allow the changes we were hoping to discern. Data from the remaining 70 patients (32F/38M), median age 44 (11 – 61.5) years, was obtained by chart review. Patients were separated into two groups: those who survived until discharge (survivors, N = 25), and those who did not (nonsurvivors, N = 45).
Results
Our VA ECMO survival rates are 35.7% for our included patients. Nonsurvivors had much higher rates of receiving CRRT (64.4% vs 20.0%, p < 0.001) and higher initial (22 vs 18, p = 0.030) and average (31 vs 21, p = .023) BUN values than the survivors. Non survivors also received much more pRBCs (3451 vs 2080 ml, p = 0.003), platelets (1900 vs 556 ml, p = 0.003) and FFP (1123 vs 240 ml, p = .001) over the course of their run than survivors. There was no significant difference in any measured platelet counts between patients.
Conclusions
Patients that receive increased blood product administration and reduced
kidney function during VA ECMO are at an increased risk of mortality. Further studies are required to further elucidate markers of ECMO outcomes that can guide the practice.

▼ Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cancer are major public health problems in the elderly population. In elderly cancer patients, little is known about chemotherapy-related nephrotoxicity or patterns of CKD screening. The purpose of this dissertation was to evaluate the association between adjuvant chemotherapy (CHEMO) and risks of acute kidney injury (AKI) and CKD and rate of CKD screening in elderly women diagnosed with stages I-III breast cancer. Methods: The study was a 1:1 individually matched, retrospective cohort design using Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-Medicare linked data. Matching was performed at the day of CHEMO initiation based on propensity score. The assembled matched cohorts were used in the analyses for all three objectives with different follow-up periods and statistical methods for each objective. HASH(0x307f974) Results: A total of 28,048 patients were included. CHEMO was associated with a 2.7-fold increased risk of AKI within 6 months after initiation (HR 2.7, 95% CI 1.8-4.1). To find a possible explanation to this association, the distribution of other diseases coded on hospital claims for AKI was examined and showed that septicemia occurred in 40% of CHEMO treated patients with AKI and in only 17% of untreated patients with AKI. No significant association was found between CHEMO and risk of CKD in the maximum 18 years follow-up (HR 1.00, 95% CI 0.93-1.07). The rate of CKD screening after treatment completion was low regardless of CHEMO status. HASH(0x2faf9d4) Conclusion: CHEMO is associated with increased risk of AKI. This association may be partially explained by septicemia caused by infection/neutropenia due to use of myelosuppressive chemotherapeutic agents, which highlights the importance of preventing serious complications of CHEMO in preventing AKI. The finding of no association between CHEMO and risk of CKD may not suggest a late nephrotoxic effect of chemotherapeutic agents commonly used to treat breast cancer in the adjuvant setting, or provide evidence to recommend a clinical practice guideline for CKD screening specifically in elderly breast cancer patients treated with CHEMO. Future studies of CKD as a late effect of cancer treatment for other solid tumors commonly treated with known or potential nephrotoxic agents are warranted.

▼ Despite advances in its treatment, the incidence of renal diseases has been consistently increasing. Hence, there is a need to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms of the progression of kidney diseases. Recent research implicates inflammation as an important mediator of renal injury. We hypothesized that inhibiting Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), an upstream modulator of several inflammatory pathways, would prevent the progression of renal diseases. First, we determined the mechanism by which AngiotensinII (AngII)-induced inflammation is modulated by TLR4 using an in vitro model of rat tubulo-epithelial cells. We blocked TLR4 using gene silencing strategy in NRK52E cells. In TLR4-silenced cells, the expression of TLR4 was decreased, activation of NF-κB was reduced, inflammation and oxidative stress were attenuated, suggesting a role for TLR4 in potentiating AngII-induced renal inflammation. We then focused on an in vivo acute kidney injury (AKI) model to elucidate the effect of TLR4 in AKI. We used lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a specific ligand of TLR4, to induce AKI. We injected one group of rats with VIPER, a TLR4 inhibitory peptide, before LPS administration. We also used blueberry as a non-pharmacological approach to study if blueberry could protect against LPS-induced AKI. Compared to LPS-administered rats, the BB-pretreated animals exhibited improved renal hemodynamics, attenuated expression of TLR4 and inflammation. The results in the BB-pretreated group were consistent with the VIPER-treated rats. This indicates that TLR4 is an important mediator in LPS-induced AKI, and suggest that BB, by inhibiting TLR4, is a viable non-pharmacological option to decrease AKI. We also examined the effect of TLR4 signaling and its downstream mechanism in an animal model of metabolic syndrome-associated chronic kidney disease (CKD) and investigated if a blueberry-enriched diet could attenuate the progression of CKD. We showed that OZR exhibited lower glucose tolerance, exacerbated renal dysfunction and increased oxidative stress. Expression levels of TLR4 and, phosphorylation of ERK and p38MAPK were higher. This was accompanied by increased renal pathology. BB-fed OZR showed significant improvements in all of these parameters. This suggests that the TLR4-MAPK signaling pathway is a key to the renal dysfunction in MetS, and BB protects against this damage by inhibiting TLR4.
