Background
Acute kidney injury (AKI) in developing countries is most commonly community acquired. Despite advances in the epidemiology of AKI, prognostication remains a significant challenge. We studied the ability of urinary biomarkers to predict renal recovery at four months after community-acquired AKI
Methods
We studied 78 patients with community-acquired AKI (AKIN stage 1 to 3) at the Department of Nephrology, PGIMER, Chandigarh. Serum and urine samples were collected at admission, discharge and, at 1 and four months after discharge. Renal recovery was defined as eGFR (CKD EPI)>60 ml/min/1.73m2 and urine protein to creatinine ratio <500 mg/g at four months after discharge. We investigated whether urinary biomarker (uL-FABP, uNGAL, uKIM-1) at hospital discharge could predict failure to recover renal function at four months after discharge
Results
75(96%) patients had AKIN stage 3 AKI and other 3 patients had AKIN stage 2 AKI. 21(27%) patients had failed to recover renal function at four months of discharge. Median urinary NGAL and urinary KIM-1 were significantly lower in patients with renal recovery (n=57) compared to those with persistent renal dysfunction (n=21). However, the differences in the median urinary L-FABP was not statistically different between the two groups (p-value = 0.55). Urinary NGAL and uKIM-1, individually predicted failure to recover renal function at four months after community-acquired AKI with AUCs of 0.71 (95% CI, 0.26 to 0.55) and 0.68 (95% CI, 0.52 to 0.84), respectively.
Conclusion
This is the first prospective study to evaluate urinary biomarkers as an outcome-specific biomarker in patients with community-acquired AKI cohort. The results of this study indicate that urine NGAL and uKIM-1 are an independent predictor of failure to recover renal function after community-acquired AKI
