    Abstract Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) affects up to 30% of the patients who undergo cardiac surgery (CVS) and is related to higher mortality. We aim to investigate molecular features associated with in-hospital AKI development and determine the predictive value of these features when analyzed preoperatively. This is a case-control study. From an initial cohort of 110 recruited subjects, a total of 60 patients undergoing cardiac surgery were included: 20 (33%) developed in-hospital AKI (CVS-AKI) and 40 did not (controls, CVS-C). Pre- and post-surgery samples were collected and a prospective study was carried out. A total of 312 serum samples and 258 urine samples were analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry and ELISA. Six features predicted AKI development in pre-surgery samples: urinary kidney functional loss marker kidney injury molecule-1 (uKIM-1), 2-hydroxybutyric acid, 2-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, hippuric acid, phosphoethanolamine and spermidine. Two of them stood out as powerful predictors. Pre-surgery uKIM-1 levels were increased in CVS-AKI vs. CVS-C (AUC = 0.721, p-value = 0.0392) and associated strongly with the outcome (OR = 5.333, p-value = 0.0264). Spermidine showed higher concentration in CVS-AKI (p-value < 0.0001, AUC = 0.970) and had a strong association with the outcome (OR = 69.75, p-value < 0.0001). uKIM-1 and particularly spermidine predict in-hospital AKI associated with CVS in preoperative samples. These findings may aid in preventing postoperative AKI and improve prognosis of CVS.

    Abstract Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a threatening, multiaetiological syndrome encompassing a variety of forms and damage patterns. AKI lacks sufficiently specific diagnostic tools to evaluate the distinct combination of pathophysiological events underlying each case, which limits personalized and optimized handling. Therefore, a pathophysiological diagnosis based on new urinary biomarkers is sought for practical (readiness and noninvasiveness) and conceptual reasons, as the urine is a direct product of the kidneys. However, biomarkers found in the urine may also have extrarenal origin, thus conveying pathophysiological information from other organs or tissues. Urinary plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) has been associated to AKI, although its origin and traffic to the urine are not known.
    Methods: Herein, we studied the blood or renal origin of urinary PAI-1 (uPAI-1) in experimental AKI in Wistar rats, by means of the in situ renal perfusion method. For this purpose, urine was collected while the kidneys of rats with AKI showing increased uPAI-1 excretion, and controls, were in situ perfused with a saline solution.
    Results: Our results show that during perfusion, PAI-1 remained in the urine of AKI rats, suggesting that renal cells shed this protein directly to the urine. PAI-1 is also significantly increased in the urine of AKI patients. Its low correlation with other urinary markers such as NGAL or NAG suggests that PAI-1 provides complementary and distinct phenotypical information.
    Conclusion: In conclusion, uPAI-1 is a biomarker produced by damaged kidneys following AKI, whose precise pathophysiological meaning in AKI needs to be further investigated.

    Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) poses an increased risk factor for new AKI episodes, progression to chronic kidney disease, and death. A worsened evolution has been linked to an incomplete renal repair beyond the apparent functional recovery based on plasma creatinine (pCr) normalization. However, structural sequelae pass largely unnoticed due to the absence of specific diagnostic tools. The urinary kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1) participates in renal tissue damage and repair and is proposed as a biomarker of early and subclinical AKI. Thus, we study in this paper the evolution of KIM-1 urinary excretion alongside renal tissue sequelae after an intrinsic AKI episode induced by cisplatin in Wistar rats. Creatinine clearance, pCr, proteinuria and the fractional excretion of Na

    Abstract Deficient recovery from acute kidney injury (AKI) has immediate and long-term health, clinical and economic consequences. Pre-emptive recovery estimation may improve nephrology referral, optimize decision making, enrollment in trials, and provide key information for subsequent clinical handling and follow-up. For this purpose, new biomarkers are needed that predict outcome during the AKI episode. We hypothesized that damage pattern-specific biomarkers are expected to more closely associate to outcome within distinct subpopulations (i.e. those affected by specific pathological processes determining a specific outcome), as biomarker pleiotropy (i.e. associated to phenomena unrelated to AKI) introduced by unselected, heterogeneous populations may blur statistics. A panel of urinary biomarkers was measured in patients with AKI and their capacity to associate to normal or abnormal recovery was studied in the whole cohort or after sub-classification by AKI etiology, namely pre-renal and intrinsic AKI. A combination of urinary GM2AP and TCP1-eta best associates with recovery from AKI, specifically within the sub-population of renal AKI patients. This two-step strategy generates a multidimensional space in which patients with specific characteristics (i.e. renal AKI patients with good or bad prognosis) can be identified based on a collection of biomarkers working serially, applying pathophysiology-driven criteria to estimate AKI recovery, to facilitate pre-emptive and personalized handling.

    Abstract The chemokine CCL20 activates the CCR6 receptor and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of glomerular injury. However, it is unknown whether it contributes to acute kidney injury (AKI). We identified CCL20 as upregulated in a systems biology strategy combining transcriptomics of kidney tissue from experimental toxic folic acid-induced AKI and from stressed cultured tubular cells and have explored the expression and function of CCL20 in experimental and clinical AKI. CCL20 upregulation was confirmed in three models of kidney injury induced by a folic acid overdose, cisplatin or unilateral ureteral obstruction. In injured kidneys, CCL20 was expressed by tubular, endothelial, and interstitial cells, and was also upregulated in human kidneys with AKI. Urinary CCL20 was increased in human AKI and was associated with severity. The function of CCL20 in nephrotoxic folic acid-induced AKI was assessed by using neutralising anti-CCL20 antibodies or CCR6-deficient mice. CCL20/CCR6 targeting increased the severity of kidney failure and mortality. This was associated with more severe histological injury, nephrocalcinosis, capillary rarefaction, and fibrosis, as well as higher expression of tubular injury-associated genes. Surprisingly, mice with CCL20 blockade had a lower tubular proliferative response and a higher number of cells in the G2/M phase, suggesting impaired repair mechanisms. This may be related to a lower influx of Tregs, despite a milder inflammatory response in terms of chemokine expression and infiltration by IL-17

    Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the main complications in acute care medicine and a risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD). AKI incidence has increased; however, its diagnosis has limitations and physiopathological mechanisms are underexplored. We investigated urine samples, aiming to identify major metabolite changes during human AKI evolution. Metabolic signatures found were further explored for a potential link to severity of injury. Twenty-four control subjects and 38 hospitalized patients with AKI were recruited and urine samples were collected at the time of diagnosis, during follow-up and at discharge. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) was used in a first discovery phase for identifying potential metabolic differences. Target metabolites of interest were confirmed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in an independent group. Underlying metabolic defects were further explored by kidney transcriptomics of murine toxic AKI. Urinary 2-hydroxybutyric acid, pantothenic acid, and hippuric acid were significantly downregulated and urinary N-acetylneuraminic acid, phosphoethanolamine, and serine were upregulated during AKI. Hippuric acid, phosphoethanolamine, and serine showed further downregulation/upregulation depending on the metabolite in acute tubular necrosis (ATN) AKI compared to prerenal AKI. Kidney transcriptomics disclosed decreased expression of cystathionase, cystathionine-β-synthase, and ethanolamine-phosphate cytidylyltransferase, and increased N-acetylneuraminate synthase as the potentially underlying cause of changes in urinary metabolites. A urinary metabolite panel identified AKI patients and provided insight into intrarenal events. A urine fingerprint made up of six metabolites may be related to pathophysiological changes in oxidative stress, energy generation, and H
    Key messages: The urinary metabolome reflects AKI evolution and severity of injury. Kidney transcriptomics revealed enzymatic expression changes. Enzymatic expression changes may be the potentially underlying cause of changes in urine metabolites. Identified metabolite changes link oxidative stress, energy generation, and H

    Abstract Implementation of therapy for acute kidney injury (AKI) depends on successful prediction of individual patient prognosis. Clinical markers as serum creatinine (sCr) have limitations in sensitivity and early response. The aim of the study was to identify novel molecules in urine which show altered levels in response to AKI and investigate their value as predictors of recovery. Changes in the urinary proteome were here investigated in a cohort of 88 subjects (55 AKI patients and 33 healthy donors) grouped in discovery and validation independent cohorts. Patients' urine was collected at three time points: within the first 48 h after diagnosis(T1), at 7 days of follow-up(T2) and at discharge of Nephrology(T3). Differential gel electrophoresis was performed and data were confirmed by Western blot (WB), liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) and kininogen-1 (KNG1) were found significantly altered following AKI. RBP4 increased at T1, and progressively decreased towards normalization. Maintained decrease was observed for KNG1 from T1. Individual patient response along time revealed RBP4 responds to recovery earlier than sCr. In conclusion, KNG1 and RBP4 respond to AKI. By monitoring RBP4, patient's recovery can be anticipated pointing to a role of RBP4 in prognosis evaluation.

    Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious syndrome with increasing incidence and health consequences, and high mortality rate among critically ill patients. Acute kidney injury lacks a unified definition, has ambiguous semantic boundaries, and relies on defective diagnosis. This, in part, is due to the absence of biomarkers substratifying AKI patients into pathophysiological categories based on which prognosis can be assigned and clinical treatment differentiated. For instance, AKI involving acute tubular necrosis (ATN) is expected to have a worse prognosis than prerenal, purely hemodynamic AKI. However, no biomarker has been unambiguously associated with tubular cell death or is able to provide etiological distinction. We used a cell-based system to identify TCP1-eta in the culture medium as a noninvasive marker of damaged renal tubular cells. In rat models of AKI, TCP1-eta was increased in the urine co-relating with renal cortical tubule damage. When kidneys from ATN rats were perfused in situ with Krebs-dextran solution, a portion of the urinary TCP1-eta protein content excreted into urine disappeared, and another portion remained within the urine. These results indicated that TCP1-eta was secreted by tubule cells and was not fully reabsorbed by the damaged tubules, both effects contributing to the increased urinary excretion. Urinary TCP1-eta is found in many etiologically heterogeneous AKI patients, and is statistically higher in patients partially recovered from severe AKI. In conclusion, urinary TCP1-eta poses a potential, substratifying biomarker of renal cortical damage associated with bad prognosis.

    Abstract Hypertension is a prevalent complication that occurs in 80-85% of all kidney transplant recipients. The pathogenesis of post-transplant hypertension is multifactorial and includes pre-transplant hypertension, donor hypertension, renin secretion from the native kidney, graft dysfunction, recurrent disease and immunosuppressive treatment. Hypertension negatively affects transplant and patient survival outcomes; cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic renal disease and after successful renal transplantation. Hypertension is a well-known risk factor for CVD and it is frequently associated with other CVD risk factors. Despite increased awareness of the adverse effects of hypertension in both graft and patient survival, long-term studies have shown that arterial hypertension in the transplant population has not been adequately controlled. Resistant hypertension (RH) is defined as office blood pressure (oBP) that remains above goal (oBP ≥ 140/90 or 130/80 mmHg) in patients with diabetes or chronic kidney disease despite the concurrent use of three antihypertensive agents, at full doses, one of them being a diuretic. Despite studies in the general population and the high prevalence of hypertension in renal transplant patients, data about RH are very scarce and the prevalence of RH in renal transplant patients is unknown and could be associated with a worse prognosis.
