Renal Cell Arrest and Damage Biomarkers in Progression and Outcome of Septic AKI

Overview

The aim of the current study is to assess the predictive value of renal cell arrest biomarkers (urinary TIMP2 and IGFBP7), renal damage biomarkers (urinary KIM-1) and microscopic examination of urinary sediment in progression and outcome of sepsis associated AKI.

Acute kidney injury occurred in about 45-53% of patients with sepsis, and most septic AKI was mild or moderate AKI (KDIGO stage 1 or stage 2). However, previous study showed that up to 40% of these mild or moderate AKI would progress to more severe AKI (KDIGO stage 3), of which 30% required dialysis and the risk of death increased by 3-fold, as high as 70%. Therefore, early identifying patients at high risk for progressive AKI might help clinicians to enhance individualized monitoring and personalized management in patient with septic AKI, which might prevent or halt the ongoing renal injury and improve the outcome of patients with sepsis.
