Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Patients with septic shock in the intensive care unit have a high risk to develop acute kidney injury (AKI) and AKI is an independent risk factor of mortality. Given the absence of validated pharmacological treatments for limiting the progression of AKI or for accelerating recovery from AKI, early intervention and the restoration of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in this context of septic shock might improve the patients' prognosis. One major challenge is to determine whether or not the AKI is reversible (return to normal function KDIGO 0 within 72 hours). In this retrospective study the investigators will analyze all patients admitted for a septic shock in three French ICUs between the 1st january 2014 and 01st January 2017 who developed an AKI (KDIGO ≥1) at admission and who had a determination of the urine concentration of TIMP2*IGFBP7 at admission. The investigators will determine the best threshold of TIMP2*IGFBP7 to distinguish the population of patients who will return to normal kidney function within 72 hours (KDIGO 0).

Clinical Trial Description

Background :

Patients with septic shock in the intensive care unit have a high risk to develop acute kidney injury (AKI). AKI is an independent risk factor of mortality. Given the absence of validated pharmacological treatments for limiting the progression of AKI or for accelerating recovery from AKI, early intervention and the restoration of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in this context of septic shock might improve the patients' prognosis. One major challenge is therefore how to determine whether or not the AKI is reversible. The best-studied biomarkers (NGAL and KIM 1) have little discriminant power in septic patients because of their poor specificity or unsuitable kinetics for very early diagnosis. The combination of urine assays for tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 (TIMP2) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) has shown good diagnostic performance for the very early detection of the risk of developing AKI in the following 12 hrs. Urine levels of these two markers specifically reflect damage to kidney tubules. Moreover, the levels appear to be strongly correlated with the severity of tubule damage. Thus, one can reasonably hypothesize that measurement of these markers in the very early stages of septic shock might determine the presence and severity of kidney tubule damage. A threshold (yet to be defined) would help to differentiate between (i) transient, non-severe injury and (ii) injury that is already too severe to be reversible.

Purpose : to determine whether or not the urine concentration of TIMP2*IGFBP7 may distinguish patients with high risk of persistent or transient AKI during the early phase of septic shock. ;
