Combination of urinary kidney injury molecule-1 and interleukin-18 as early biomarker for the diagnosis and progressive assessment of acute kidney injury following cardiopulmonary bypass surgery: a prospective nested case-control study

The aim of this nested case-control study was to assess the combined use of urinary kidney injury molecule (KIM)-1 and interleukin (IL)-18 for acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery (CPB). From a cohort of 122 subjects who underwent CPB, serial urinary KIM-1 and IL-18 concent...

Description
Summary:The aim of this nested case-control study was to assess the combined use of urinary kidney injury molecule (KIM)-1 and interleukin (IL)-18 for acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery (CPB). From a cohort of 122 subjects who underwent CPB, serial urinary KIM-1 and IL-18 concentrations were determined in 30 AKI and 92 non-AKI patients. An increased level of urinary KIM-1 was associated with the occurrence of AKI, whereas an increased level of IL-18 was related to progressive AKI. The combination of these two biomarkers facilitates the early diagnosis and assessment of the likely progression of AKI after CPB.
