- Abstract
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs frequently after infant cardiac surgery and is associated with poor outcomes, including mortality and prolonged length of stay. AKI mechanisms are poorly understood, limiting therapeutic targets. Emerging data implicates dysregulated immune activation in post-cardiac surgery AKI development. We sought to identify immune-mediated AKI biomarkers after infant cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-assisted cardiac surgery. Methods: A single-center prospective study of 126 infants less than 1 year old undergoing CPB-assisted surgery enrolled between 10/2017 and 6/2019. Urine samples were collected before CPB and at 6, 24, 48, and 72 h after surgery. Immune-mediated biomarkers were measured using commercial ELISA and Luminex™ multiplex kits. Based on subject age, neonatal KDIGO (< 1 month) or KDIGO criteria defined AKI. The Kruskal–Wallis rank test determined the relationship between urinary biomarker measurements and AKI. Results: A total of 35 infants (27%) developed AKI. AKI subjects were younger, underwent more complex surgery, and had longer CPB time. Subjects with AKI vs. those without AKI had higher median urinary chemokine 10 (C-X-C motif) ligand levels at 24, 48, and 72 h, respectively: 14.3 pg/ml vs. 5.3 pg/ml, 3.4 pg/ml vs. 0.8 pg/ml, and 1.15 pg/ml vs. 0.22 pg/ml (p < 0.05) post-CPB. At 6 h post-CPB, median vascular cell adhesion protein 1 (VCAM) levels (pg/mL) were higher among AKI subjects (491 pg/ml vs. 0 pg/ml, p = 0.04). Conclusions: Urinary CXCL10 and VCAM are promising pro-inflammatory biomarkers for early AKI detection and may indicate eventual AKI therapeutic targets.
