Background

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is linked to chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression, but this epidemiological association may be susceptible to ascertainment bias in studies using clinical data, as patients may be more likely to undergo kidney function testing post-AKI.

Methods

We evaluated whether impact of AKI on kidney function trajectory varied using clinical vs. research protocol-driven data in 444 adult CKD participants of the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) Study who were also members of a large integrated healthcare system. We estimated separate eGFR trajectories using (1) serum creatinine (SCr) measurements performed annually through CRIC research protocol, or (2) SCr measurements performed in clinical care. We used linear mixed models to test the associations of AKI with absolute change in eGFR and post-AKI eGFR slope and whether these associations varied by source of serum creatinine (clinical vs. research), adjusting for demographics, baseline albuminuria and diabetes.

Results

During mean follow-up of 7.5 years, mean rate of eGFR loss was 0.31 ml/min/1.73m² per year overall (in the referent group with mean age of 60, male, non-black, and without albuminuria or diabetes); 74 individuals experienced AKI (54% Stage 1). An AKI episode was not significantly associated with an acute change in absolute eGFR level after discharge, but was significantly associated with a faster rate of eGFR decline (mean additional loss of 0.67 ml/min/1.73m² per year, P<0.0001). However, the latter association was attenuated and no longer significant when using only research measurements (Table1).

Conclusion

The impact of AKI on subsequent rate of kidney function loss is influenced by source of SCr, and may be modest after accounting for other risk factors.
