Clinical Trial Summary

Both, acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) considered as a continuum of the disease process. The renal recovery after AKI is currently assessed by measuring serum creatinine, which has its limitations including change in muscle mass, volume distribution in critically ill patients. Also, despite complete return of serum creatinine after AKI, these patients remain at increased risk for developing CKD, which suggest that there may be persistent subclinical damage to the kidney. The new term acute kidney disease (AKD) has been proposed to define the renal disease after AKI. Recently (2017), Acute Disease Quality Initiative (ADQI) 16 workgroup published a consensus document on AKD and renal recovery, which provide definition as well as research recommendation for AKD. The consensus report of the ADQI 16 workgroup (2017) recommended that there is need for studies to describe the epidemiology, clinical course, natural history of patients having AKD; and also determine optimal methods to assess functional recovery and identify novel biomarker(s), functional tests, and imaging approach which can reveal ongoing injury and repair in these patients. This is an observational study to describe epidemiology, clinical course and recovery from AKD at 90 days in critically ill patients.


Description:

Introduction and Background:

There are available definitions for acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), which are being used routinely in research and clinical practice. The AKI is defined as an abrupt decrease in kidney function occurring over 7 days or less, as per KDIGO (kidney disease improving global outcome) guideline. The CKD is defined as persistence of kidney disease for a period of more than 90 days.

Both, AKI and CKD considered as a continuum of the disease process. The renal recovery after AKI is currently assessed by measuring serum creatinine, which has its limitations including change in muscle mass, volume distribution in critically ill patients. Also, despite complete return of serum creatinine after AKI, these patients remain at increased risk for developing CKD, which suggest that there may be persistent subclinical damage to the kidney. The new term acute kidney disease (AKD) has been proposed to define the renal disease after AKI. Recently (2017), Acute Disease Quality Initiative (ADQI) 16 workgroup published a consensus document on AKD and renal recovery, which provide definition as well as research recommendation for AKD.

Rationale of the study supported by cited literature:

The consensus report of the ADQI 16 workgroup (2017) recommended that there is need for studies to describe the epidemiology, clinical course, natural history of patients having AKD; and also determine optimal methods to assess functional recovery and identify novel biomarker(s), functional tests, and imaging approach which can reveal ongoing injury and repair in these patients.

The relevance and expected outcome of the proposed study:

This is an observational study to describe epidemiology, clinical course and recovery from AKD at 90 days in critically ill patients.

Preliminary work done so far:

There is no systematic study so far in critically ill patients, as AKD is defined recently.

Definition of AKD:

Acute kidney disease (AKD): Acute or subacute damage and/or loss of kidney function for a duration of between 7 and 90 days after exposure to an AKI initiating event. Outcome of AKD include recovery, recurrence of AKI, progression of AKD and/or death. Stages (1, 2 and 3) of AKD are defined same as for AKIN criteria.

Specific objectives:

• To study acute kidney disease severity outcome by measuring serum creatinine and other biomarkers (NGAL, KIM-1 and Cystatin C) at 90 days.

Work plan methodology:

This is a prospective observational study to know the disease process of AKD. Patients will be included from the ICU of Department of Critical Care Medicine and Department of Nephrology. All adult critically ill patients will be consider for inclusion in this study, who had AKD (at 7 days after exposure to an AKI initiating event) because of various etiologies during his/ her current illness. After getting written informed consent from the patient or close relatives to participate in this study, patients will be included in this study. There will be no intervention in this study. Patients will be followed up in our ICU follow-up clinic and/ or nephrology OPD at 90 days of event of acute kidney injury and various biomarkers and imaging parameters will be assessed.

Sample size:

This is an observational study, where all eligible patients will be considered for possible inclusion over 15 month duration.

Consent:

Informed written consent will be obtained from all patients or close relatives for inclusion in the study.

Sample collection:

At baseline (D7, when defined as AKD), at ICU discharge, and at 90 days (D90): 3 ml blood and 3 ml urine will be collected.

Data collection:

Demographic and clinical characteristics of all ICU patients who fulfill inclusion criteria will be collected along with relevant laboratory tests done during patient management, as per treating team. ICU prognostication scores, i.e., Acute Physiologic and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score and Sequential Organ Dysfunction Assessment (SOFA) score will also be recorded. Episodes of recurrence of AKI will be recorded. Risk factors of acute kidney injury like presence of circulatory shock, chronic diseases (heart, lung, liver), diabetes mellitus, nephrotoxic drugs, radio contrast agents will also be noted. .

Intervention:

None

Outcome:

To study the renal outcome of AKD (among survivors) at 90 days, by measuring serum creatinine, urine routine, albuminuria, serum and urine biomarkers (NGAL, Cystatin C and KIM-1), need of renal replacement therapy and renal ultrasound.

Laboratory methods:

Samples will be analysed for plasma creatinine, urinary albumin, plasma and urine biomarkers (NGAL cystatin C, and KIM-1) at baseline (D7), at ICU discharge and at 90 days (D90). Biomarker, Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL), Cystatin C and Kidney Injury Molecule-1 in plasma will be analysed by commercially available ELISA kits (RnD) as per manufacturer instructions. Renal ultrasonography will be done at baseline (D7) and at 90 days (D90).

Statistical analysis:

Descriptive analysis will be done and data will be presented as mean or median.

Duration of the study:

15 months
