e24161 Background: Nephrotoxicity of chemotherapeutic agents remains a significant complication limiting the efficacy of the treatment. However, comprehensive data on the epidemiology and outcomes of chemotherapy related acute kidney Injury in China is lacking. Methods: We conducted a nationwide cohort study of hospitalized patients from 25 general and children’s hospitals in China during 2013-2015. Patient-level data were obtained from the electronic hospitalization information system, prescription database and laboratory databases of all cancer patients who received chemotherapy and had at least two serum creatinine tests within any 7-day window during the hospitalization. AKI was defined and staged according to Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes criteria. The incidence of AKI in patients with various type of cancer and chemotherapeutic agents was examined. The outcomes of AKI, including in-hospital mortality, death after discharge, kidney recovery, and length of stay, were also assessed. Results: A total of 23,232 cancer patients, including 3,120 children ( < 18 years old), 16,310 adult (19-65 years old) and 3,802 elderly patients ( > 65 years old), were analyzed. Platinum compounds and pyrimidine analogues were the most common used chemotherapy agents for cancer patients. The overall incidence of AKI was 4.9%. Patients with urinary system malignancy (12.3%), hematological malignancy (10.2%) and nerve motor system malignancy (4.1%) have the highest incidence of HA-AKI. The top three types of chemotherapy drugs with the highest incidence of AKI were Purine analogues (30.1%), folic acid analogues (15.3%) and combinations of antineoplastic agents (14.1%). The nephrotoxicity of chemotherapy drugs was different among age groups. AKI is associated with a higher risk of in-hospital mortality and death after discharge. Conclusions: The risk of AKI in cancer patients varied in different age group, type of cancer and chemotherapeutic agents.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is defined as a failure in renal function leading to insufficiency of fluid and electrolyte homeostasis. Thus, sensitive biomarkers of renal tubular injury are needed to detect AKI earlier. In this study, urinary beta 2-microglobulin (β2-MG) and urinary N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) were evaluated for AKI prognosis/diagnosis in pediatric patients suffering different cancers prescribed with Ifosfamide, Ifosfamide plus Carboplatin, and Ifosfamide plus Cisplatin. Materials and Methods: In this prospective study done in Isfahan, Iran, urinary β2-MG, urinary NAG, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and serum and urinary creatinine (Cr) were measured in 40 pediatric cancer patients less than 16 years old in three age groups during 61 courses of chemotherapy on day 0, three and six after the treatment. Results: Using ANOVA and t-test, the mean levels of urinary β2-MG (p= 0.001), urinary β2-MG/Cr (p= 0.003) and urinary NAG/Cr (p= 0.001), before and on day six of the treatment were statistically significant (p< 0.05). Also, the mean levels of BUN (p= 0.01), urinary β2-MG (p= 0.001), β2-MG/Cr (p= 0.001) and NAG/Cr (p= 0.004) based on the gender groups, the mean levels of urinary NAG (p=0.001), NAG/Cr (p= 0.001) and β2-MG/Cr (p= 0.008) based on three age groups, and the mean levels of serum Cr (p= 0.047), urinary β2-MG (p= 0.005), β2-MG/Cr (p= 0.032) and NAG/Cr (p= 0.032) based on the Ifosfamide dosage were statistically significant during the time of the treatment. Conclusion: Urinary β2-MG, urinary β2-MG/Cr, and urinary NAG/Cr are more significant biomarkers than serum Cr in earlier diagnosis and treatment of AKI in cancer patients. However, urinary NAG should be further studied to prove its reliability for AKI prognosis/diagnosis. It is suggested that urinary NAG can be used along with other renal biomarkers such as urinary β2-MG, kidney injury molecule-1(KIM-1), or interleukin-18 (IL-18) for AKI prognosis/diagnosis.

Кidney injury is a frequent and significant complication of cancer and cancer therapy. The kidneys are susceptible to injury from malignant infiltration, damage by metabolites of malignant cells, glomerular  injury, nephrotoxic drugs including chemotherapeutic agents. Also  bone marrow transplantation complications, infections with immune  suppression (including septicemia), tumor lysis syndrome should be  taken into account. Chemotherapeutic agents are a common cause  of acute kidney injury but can potentially lead to chronic kidney  disease development in cancer patients. This article summarizes risk  factors of acute kidney injury in cancer patients. Risk factors are  divided into two groups. The systemic are decrease of total  circulating blood volume, infiltration of kidney tissue by tumor cells,  dysproteinemia, electrolyte disturbances. The local (renal) risk  factors are microcirculation disturbances, drugs biotransformation  with formation of reactive oxygen intermediates, high concentration of nephrotoxic agents in proximal tubules and its  sensitivity to ischemia. Drug-related risk factors include: drugs  combination with cytotoxic effect high doses long term use necessity, direct cytotoxic effect of not only chemotherapeutic agents but also its metabolites, mean solubility forming intratubular  precipitates. Early diagnosis, timely prevention and treatment of  these complications provide significantly improve nononcologic results of treatment.

AbstractAcute kidney injury (AKI) is a prevalent and lethal adverse event that severely affects cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. It is correlated with the collateral damage to renal cells caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Currently, ROS management is a practical strategy that can reduce the risk of chemotherapy-related AKI, but at the cost of chemotherapeutic efficacy. Herein, we report catalytic activity tunable ceria nanoparticles (CNPs) that can prevent chemotherapy-induced AKI without interference with chemotherapeutic agents. Specifically, in the renal cortex, CNPs exhibit catalytic activity that decomposes hydrogen peroxide, and subsequently regulate the ROS-involved genes by activating the Nrf2/Keap1 signaling pathway. These restore the redox homeostasis for the protection of kidney tubules. Under an acidic tumor microenvironment, CNPs become inert due to the excessive H+ that disrupts the re-exposure of active catalytic sites, allowing a buildup of chemotherapy-mediated ROS generation to kill cancer cells. As ROS-modulating agents, CNPs incorporated with context-dependent catalytic activity, hold a great potential for clinical prevention and treatment of AKI in cancer patients.

Abstract Importance Severe mitral valve insufficiency (MR) is managed using mitral valve replacement or repair. Transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) is an emerging non-invasive treatment option for MR. Cancer patients stand to benefit from non-invasive treatment of MR given the nature of this intervention. Objective:We sought to assess the relative utilization, outcomes, and dispositions associated with TMVR vs. surgical mitral valve procedures (SMVP) in cancer patients. Methods The 2012–2015 National Inpatient Sample, a retrospective observational study was queried using ICD-9 codes for adults >18 years with comorbid MR (ICD-9 – 424.0) and cancer without metastatic disease. To maintain a homogenous study population and to limit confounding, those with mitral stenosis, rheumatic disease, infective endocarditis, aortic valve disease, or those undergoing any other vascular or cardiac surgery in the same admission were excluded from the analysis. Multiple in-hospital and disposition outcomes were evaluated. Since the baseline population undergoing SMVP (ICD-9: 35.23, 35.24, 35.12) is quite different from TMVR (ICD-9: 35.97), parallel analyses for outcomes and dispositions were presented but no direct statistical comparisons. Results A total of 410,175 out of 2,449,010 patients with mitral insufficiency were found to have non-metastatic cancer (16.7%). A total of 3,600 TMVR procedures were performed during the study period. Over the study period, there has been an increase in the proportion of patients undergoing TMVR among all patients undergoing mitral valve procedures (figure). The increase is higher in cancer patients in the most recent year (14.2% vs. 8.2%, p<0.0001). The four major cancers comprise of 50% of these TMVR patients. TMVR was associated with 1.4% vs. 2.2% in-hospital mortality (p=0.55), 0.7% vs. 0.8% stroke (p=0.87), 9.2% vs. 11.8% major bleeding (p=0.31), 14.1% vs. 16.5% acute kidney injury (p=0.52), 62.0% vs. 64.6% home discharge (p=0.58), and 13.3% vs. 12.0% discharge to nursing home (p=0.58) among cancer vs. non-cancer patients, respectively. On the other hand, SMVP was associated with 3.1% vs. 3.5% in-hospital mortality (p=0.35), 2.6% vs. 3.1% stroke (p=0.16), 35.0% vs. 30.5% major bleeding (p<0.0001), 19.5% vs. 19.6% acute kidney injury (p=0.88), 32.8% vs. 38.6% home discharge (p<0.0001), 37.2% vs. 35.0% home health care use (p<0.0001), and 26.8 vs. 22.8% discharge to nursing home (p=0.05), among cancer vs. non-cancer patients respectively. TMVR percent in mitral valve procedures Conclusion TMVR utilization for MR in cancer has steadily increased in both cancer and non-cancer patients, although it is proportionately higher among cancer patients in recent years. Overall, TMVR was associated with low in-hospital mortality and a similar safety profile in cancer and non-cancer patients, while SMVP appears to have a slightly worse safety profile in cancer patients. Our findings, suggest that TMVR is a reasonable strategy in selective cancer patients with MR.

Kidney-related adverse drug effects from chemotherapeutic agents can cause acute kidney injury that may influence cancer treatment and patient outcomes. Many current chemotherapy drugs are associated with acute kidney injury, including methotrexate which causes dose-dependent tubular injury. In this review, we will focus on the manifestations of kidney disease secondary to methotrexate and discuss management strategies. In particular, we will review the use of high-flux hemodialysis versus glucarpidase for reducing toxic serum levels of methotrexate.

Introduction: In the elderly, impairment of kidney function occurs. Renal diseases overlap with anatomic and functional changes related to age-related involutionary processes. Mortality among patients with acute renal injury is approximately 50%, despite advances in treatment and diagnosis of AKI. The aim: To assess the incidence of acute kidney injury in elderly patients and to analyze the causes of acute renal failure depending on age. Materials and methods: A retrospective analysis included medical documentation of patients hospitalized in the Nephrology Clinic during the 6-month period. During this period 452 patients were hospitalized in the clinic. A group of 77 patients with acute renal failure as a reason for hospitalization was included in the study. Results: The prerenal form was the most common cause of AKI in both age groups. In both age groups, the most common cause was dehydration; in the group of patients up to 65 years of age, dehydration was 29.17%; in the group of people over 65 years - 43.39%. Renal replacement therapy in patients with AKI was used in 14.29% of patients. In the group of patients up to 65 years of age hemodialysis was 16.67% and above 65 years of age. -13.21% of patients. The average creatinine level in the group of younger patients at admission was 5.16 ± 3.71 mg / dl, in the group of older patients 3.14 ± 1.63 mg / dl. The size of glomerular filtration GFR in the group of younger patients at admission was 21.14 ± 19.54 ml / min, in the group of older patients 23.34 ± 13.33 ml / min. Conclusions: The main cause of acute kidney injury regardless of the age group was dehydration. Due to the high percentage of AKI in the elderly, this group requires more preventive action, not only in the hospital but also at home.

Background: The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with COVID-19 and its association with mortality and disease severity is understudied in the Canadian population. Objective: To determine the incidence of AKI in a cohort of patients with COVID-19 admitted to medicine and intensive care unit (ICU) wards, its association with in-hospital mortality, and disease severity. Our aim was to stratify these outcomes by out-of-hospital AKI and in-hospital AKI. Design: Retrospective cohort study from a registry of patients with COVID-19. Setting: Three community and 3 academic hospitals. Patients: A total of 815 patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19 between March 4, 2020, and April 23, 2021. Measurements: Stage of AKI, ICU admission, mechanical ventilation, and in-hospital mortality. Methods: We classified AKI by comparing highest to lowest recorded serum creatinine in hospital and staged AKI based on the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) system. We calculated the unadjusted and adjusted odds ratio for the stage of AKI and the outcomes of ICU admission, mechanical ventilation, and in-hospital mortality. Results: Of the 815 patients registered, 439 (53.9%) developed AKI, 253 (57.6%) presented with AKI, and 186 (42.4%) developed AKI in-hospital. The odds of ICU admission, mechanical ventilation, and death increased as the AKI stage worsened. Stage 3 AKI that occurred during hospitalization increased the odds of death (odds ratio [OR] = 7.87 [4.35, 14.23]). Stage 3 AKI that occurred prior to hospitalization carried an increased odds of death (OR = 5.28 [2.60, 10.73]). Limitations: Observational study with small sample size limits precision of estimates. Lack of nonhospitalized patients with COVID-19 and hospitalized patients without COVID-19 as controls limits causal inferences. Conclusions: Acute kidney injury, whether it occurs prior to or after hospitalization, is associated with a high risk of poor outcomes in patients with COVID-19. Routine assessment of kidney function in patients with COVID-19 may improve risk stratification. Trial registration: The study was not registered on a publicly accessible registry because it did not involve any health care intervention on human participants.
