1 The 2012 KDIGO guidelines on Acute Kidney Injury- Is there a need for an update and have the guidelines improved AKI prognosis? Norbert Lameire, MD,PhD Em prof of Medicine and Nephrology University Hospital Gent, Belgium Stuttgart, February 24, 2018

2 A selection of remaining uncertainties in AKI Is all AKI equal? Should management be individualized on a better phenotyping of AKI by etiology, severity of injury, and ability to recover? Can we predict/detect AKI early enough to modify outcome? Should biomarkers be incorporated in the diagnosis and result in earlier intervention and improvement of prognosis? What determines the long-term outcome of AKI? How can recovery be defined and can it be optimized? How do we optimize RRT and what parameters can be used for correct timing for initiation and stopping RRT? Does RRT modality affect long-term outcome?

3 AKI Syndromes Sepsis-associated AKI Nephrotoxic AKI Cardiorenal syndrome Hepato-renal syndrome Cardiac surgery-associated AKI Acute interstitial nephritis Glomerulonephritis/Vasculitis/ microangiopathy Obstructive AKI Abdominal compartment syndrome Rhabdomyolysis

4 Strength of recommendations and level of evidence of the 2012 KDIGO Clinical Practice Guidelines for AKI Total number of recommendations: 87

5 KDIGO definition and classification of AKI

6 A hypothetical example of real-time GFR and SCr values before and during an episode of AKI. Thomas et al, Kidney International (2015) 87, 62 73

7 Hospital mortality in different creatinine trajectories in hospital acquired AKI 18% 12% 5% 1,7% Hospital mortality THA-AKI: IRA hôpital assocée transitoire; 2HA-AKI transient hospital associated AKI ;IRA qui après résolution est suivie d une nouvelle rechute Warnock et al, Nephron 2015;131:

8 Potential SCr trajectories and AKI misclassification KD Liu et al, Kidney International Reports (2018) 3,

9 Classes of biomarkers in AKI Class of biomarker Biomarker Inflammatory Proinflammatory cytokines (IL 6, IL 18), Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) Cell injury Cell cycle markers Functional L-fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP), KIM- 1, sodium/hydrogen exchanger-3 (NHE-3) and Netrin-1; urinary tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) and insulinlike growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) Cystatin C

10 AKI- a continuum? Structural Vaidya et al, Annu. Rev. Pharmacol. Toxicol. 2008, 48:

11 Early detection of AKI (left) and prediction of AKI recovery (right) with cell cycle biomarkers after post cardiac surgery AKI TMP2xIGFBP7 Non-AKI NGAL Meersch et al, PLoS ONE 9(3), 2014

12 Phenotyping AKI with biomarkers and SCr? Identification of clinically relevant structural kidney damage using biomarkers. Concurrent use of intrinsic kidney injury biomarkers and serum creatinine-based estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) identifies at least 4 clinically relevant categories differentiating prerenal declines in GFR without structural injury and structural injury by biomarker positivity with or without changes in serum creatinine. Huen, Parikh Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 309: F406 F413, 2015.

13 Preventive strategy performed in high risk cardiac surgery AKI patients Application of the KDIGO care bundle reduced overall AKI at 72 h from 71% to 55.1% and the rates of moderate-tosevere AKI from 44.9% to 29.7%. (Pulse contour cardiac output) Meersch et al, Int Care Med 43(11): , 2017

14 Peak post-operative urine biomarkers are not independently associated with the outcome of AKI post cardiac surgery Peak post-operative plasma biomarkers are independently associated with CV events and mortality, Parikh et al, J Am Soc Nephrol 28(12): , 2017

22 Dogma s and traditional views on the long term prognosis of AKI survivors in the years The mortality risks are mainly determined by the clinical context In contrast with chronic kidney diseases is AKI in principle a reversible disease The majority of AKI patients will return to the same renal function as before the AKI episode An old adagium : «if the patients survive, so will their kidneys»

23 AKI stage and duration are independently associated wtih CV events or death in post cardiac surgery AKI Parikh et al, J Am Soc Nephrol 28: , 2017

38 Differences in design and outcomes between the ELAIN and AKIKI trials Bagshaw, Wald, Nature Reviews in Nephrol 2016

39 Advantages and shortcomings of earlier RRT initiation in AKI Advantages More effective reversal of volume expansion, particularly in diureticresistant patients Better control of electrolyte and acid base status Pro active clearance of toxic low and middle molecular weight solutes Avoidance of AKI-related emergencies, (eg cardiac dysrhythmias related to hyperkalemia Shortcomings Exposure to complications associated with supplemental vascular access (both at time of insertion and therafter- infections, thrombosis, emboli, ) Exposure to complications associated with RRT (e.g. intradialytic hypotension, dysrhythmias, clearance of antibioticshypokalemia, hypoglycemia..) Higher cost, especially if patient was destined to recover kidney function Adapted from Wald, Bagshaw, Semin Nephrol 36:78-84, 2016
