Background

Data on the role of renal injury urinary biomarkers (uBMs) to predict AKI in patients (pts) submitted to major elective non-vascular abdominal surgeries (MENVAS) are scarce.

Methods

A total of 298 pts submitted to MENVAS were prospectively assessed and evaluated, pre, peri-operatively and from the ICU admission up to 7 days. Serum creatinine (SCr) was assessed before surgery and once a day up to 7d or until ICU discharge. Hourly urinary output (UO) (ml/kg/h) was measured. AKI was diagnosed by either SCr or/and UO (KDIGO definitions). Urine was collected 1d before surgery (baseline), 30 min, 12 and 24h after ICU admission. Monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1), interleukin 18 (IL-18), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 (TIMP-2) and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP-7) were assessed by Luminex x-MAP. Data are median (1st and 3rd quartiles) or frequency. AUC of ROC curves was assessed using non-AKI/AKI KDIGO I as controls and AKI KDIGO II/III as positive results. We assessed different combinations of uBMs to find the better performance. Statistical significance was p<0.05.

Results

Overall, age was 56±15y, 59.1% were female, hospital LoS was 17.7±16.2d, ICU LoS was 3.1±2.9d and 90d mortality was 6.4%. A total of 197 pts (60.1%) developed AKI, mostly KDIGO I (118 pts, 59.9%). The uBMs combination with the higher AUC was KIM-1 vs NGAL vs IGFBP-7 (baseline: 0.65; 30min: 0.72; 12h: 0.79; 24h: 0.72), which was better than any of the uBMs alone, or other combinations, including the product TIMP-2 vs. IGFBP-7(baseline: 0.62; 30min: 0.65; 12h: 0.75; 24h: 0.72).

Conclusion

We found a strikingly high incidence of MENVAS-associated AKI diagnosed by KDIGO criteria in patients admitted at the ICU. The uBM with the better performance to diagnose moderate and severe AKI was the combinations of KIM-1 vs. NGAL vs. IGFBP-7 12h after ICU admission.
