Product Information

Despite advances in medical interventions, including CRRT, SIAKI has been reported to be associated with a high mortality rate of 50–60% 3, 32. Until now, most studies on the effect of CRRT on mortality in patients with SIAKI have focused on the timing and dose of CRRT 32 and little research has been conducted on the association between survival and fluid overload in patients with SIAKI receiving CRRT. In this study, we investigated the association between fluid overload and survival in patients receiving CRRT considering the important role of fluid balance in patients with SIAKI. Hoste, E.

First, although the subjects of the present study were limited to patients with SIAKI receiving CRRT, it included a relatively large number of patients (n = 649) compared with previous studies that examined the prognostic value of PCT decrease in patients with sepsis (sample size, n = 27–242) [ 14]. Second, our multivariable model included adjustments for important confounding variables that are reported to impact survival and recovery from dialysis in patients with AKI receiving CRRT, such as oliguria, SOFA scores, APACHE II scores, and interval time from AKI diagnosis to CRRT initiation. All these findings provide more substantial evidence of the association between PCT and survival or recovery from dialysis at 28 days in patients with SIAKI receiving CRRT.

PCT has attracted considerable interest as a sepsis biomarker for predicting a higher risk and severity of bacterial infections [ 17]. PCT has also been reported to be associated with an increased risk of bacteremia as confirmed by bacteria cultures [ 17]. Although the actual function of PCT in the host defense system is unknown, this peptide has numerous effects on the immune system, including a decrease in neutrophil phagocytic and candidacidal activity as well as an increase in intracellular calcium ions, all of which aid the host response [ 17]. The present study demonstrated that the % PCT decrease over 72 hours after CRRT initiation has a prognostic value for predicting survival and recovery from dialysis at 28 days in patients with SIAKI receiving CRRT. In terms of biomarkers, a decrease in the % PCT is more easily assessable than clinical risk scores, such as SOFA or APACHE. Thus, the results of the present study underline that a % PCT decrease provides an easy, economic, and fast approach for predicting prognosis in patients with SIAKI receiving CRRT.

Heilmann E, Gregoriano C, Schuetz P. Biomarkers of Infection: Are They Useful in the ICU? Semin Respir Crit Care Med. 2019; 40: 465–75. pmid:31585473 Sepsis is the clinical condition for blood poisoning by microorganism and a systemic inflammatory response to infection, which is the most common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients ( 1, 2). Sepsis-induced AKI (SIAKI) is associated with unacceptable morbidity and mortality ( 2). SIAKI is thought to reflect pathophysiology distinct from other AKI and the mechanisms of SIAKI are not well understood ( 3– 5). Therefore, identifying the exact onset of AKI in sepsis is nearly impossible, leading to difficulty in timely intervention for prevention of SIAKI. Baseline characteristics stratified by recovery from dialysis after CRRT initiation among survivors I usually list out all of the items included in the set individually, but there are 55 items and we would be here all week!Procalcitonin (PCT) is a pro-hormone of the calcium metabolism regulator calcitonin, and is synthesized by the parafollicular C cells of the thyroid [ 10, 11]. PCT is a biomarker of systemic bacterial infection and sepsis, because it is synthesized in numerous extrathyroidal tissues in response to lipopolysaccharides and bacteria-induced cytokines [ 11]. Traditionally, PCT has been recognized as a biomarker for differentiating between bacterial and non-bacterial infections and for guiding antibiotic treatment [ 12]. Recently, PCT has been reported to be associated with the severity of systemic infections in sepsis [ 13], and is considered to have diagnostic and prognostic value in patients with sepsis [ 10]. Indeed, a recent meta-analysis demonstrated that elevated PCT concentrations and non-clearance of PCT are strongly associated with all-cause mortality in patients [ 14]. Concerning the relationship between PCT and AKI, a recent systemic review suggested that the PCT level is a biomarker for predicting AKI development in various clinical settings regardless of infection [ 15].
