RESUMEN
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious complication in hospitalized patients, which continues to pose a clinical challenge for treating physicians. The most recent Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes practice guidelines for AKI have restated the importance of earliest possible detection of AKI and adjusting treatment accordingly. Since the emergence of initial studies examining the use of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and cycle arrest biomarkers, tissue inhibitor metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP7), for early diagnosis of AKI, a vast number of studies have investigated the accuracy and additional clinical benefits of these biomarkers. As proposed by the Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative, new AKI diagnostic criteria should equally utilize glomerular function and tubular injury markers for AKI diagnosis. In addition to refining our capabilities in kidney risk prediction with kidney injury biomarkers, structural disorder phenotypes referred to as "preclinical-" and "subclinical AKI" have been described and are increasingly recognized. Additionally, positive biomarker test findings were found to provide prognostic information regardless of an acute decline in renal function (positive serum creatinine criteria). We summarize and discuss the recent findings focusing on two of the most promising and clinically available kidney injury biomarkers, NGAL and cell cycle arrest markers, in the context of AKI phenotypes. Finally, we draw conclusions regarding the clinical implications for kidney risk prediction.

Aim: NGAL, IL-18, KIM-1 as well as urinary TIMP2 and IGFBP7 and their mathematical product (TIMP2*IGFBP7) were evaluated for detecting pediatric aminoglycoside acute kidney injury (AG-AKI). Methods: In a prospective study, noncritically ill children received aminoglycosides (AG) ≥3 days. The area under the curve (AUC) for biomarkers to detect AKI was calculated by a) days before AKI onset; b) treatment days. Results: There were 113 AG episodes (68% febrile neutropenia). The AKI group had a higher proportion with febrile neutropenia. The AKI group had significantly lower NGAL 3 days before AKI, as patients with febrile neutropenia had a lower NGAL during AG treatment (p < 0.05). NGAL, IL-18 and TIMP2*IGFBP7 had AUC ≥0.73 at 3, 2 and 2 days before AKI onset. Conclusion: NGAL, IL-18 and TIMP2*IGFBP7 were modest early biomarkers of AG-AKI. Febrile neutropenia was associated with lower NGAL.

BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) diagnosis is based on a rise in serum creatinine and/or fall in urine output. It has been shown that there are patients that fulfill AKI definition but do not have AKI, and there are also patients with evidence of renal injury who do not meet any criteria for AKI. Recently the innovative and emerging proteomic technology has enabled the identification of novel biomarkers that allow improved risk stratification. METHODS: Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2), insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) were measured to a cohort of 719 consecutive patients admitted to Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The primary endpoint was the evaluation of clinical performances of the biomarkers focusing on the probability do develop AKI in the first 7 days. RESULTS: The Kaplan-Meier analysis considering the first 7 days of ICU stay suggested a lower risk of developing AKI (p < 0.0001) for patients with a negative (<0.3; TIMP-2*IGFBP7) test. CONCLUSION: (TIMP-2*IGFBP7) at ICU admission has a good performance in predicting AKI, especially in the first 4 days in ICU.
