MO345LIFESAVING BIOMARKERS IN CONTRAST-INDUCED ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY IN ADULT CRITICAL ICU PATIENTS

Abstract

Abstract Background : - Intravenous administration of radiocontrast media is referred to as contrast-induced kidney injury (CI-AKI).CI-AKI is described as the third most common cause of new AKI in hospitalized patients. The occurrence of CI-AKI is reported up to 55% in these high-risk patients.: NGAL (Neutrophil gelatinase-associated Lipocalin)and Cystatin C have been found an early and sensitive marker of acute kidney injury (AKI). Aims To evaluate biomarkers in plasma (P) and urine (U) after intravenous contrast in adult ICU patients. Method Total of 36 patients recruited as per inclusion criteria. ICU patients who were >18 years with radiographic contrast for diagnostic or interventional computed tomography (CT scan), were included. After ethical approval, samples of 5 ml blood and 5 ml urine were collected before contrast exposure and at 4 h, 24 h, and 48 h after contrast exposure. NGAL and Cystatin C assay was done by ELISA, and urinary levels were normalized as per urine creatinine (UCr) values for each sample. In the present study, CI-AKI is defined as a rise in SCr of ≥0.3 mg/dl within 48 hrs. Data presented in a mean or median analysis performed. Results In this study, 30 CT scan episodes requiring intravenous contrast in 25 ICU patients were included. Median age was 36 yrs and 13 (43%) were male. On day of inclusion, median SOFA score was 3; 16% In patients having CI-AKI, mean values changes from pre-contrast to at 4 h, 24 h and 48 h after contrast are presented..Kinetics of plasma (P) and urine (U) NGAL and Cystatin C levels (Mean±SD) with p value among patients having CI-AKI P NGAL (ng/ml), Before Contrast(BC)( 708.5±201.76) , 04hrC(851.5±332.05, p=0.07), 24hrC(1093.25±225.03, p=0.02), 48hrC(788±323.4, p=0.21), UNGAL (ng/mg of U Cr)BC(67.63±48.09) , 04hrC(39.69±19.79, p=0.07) , 24hrC(101.97±90, p=0.12) , 48hrC(59.87±56.85, p=0.73) , P Cystatin C (ng/ml) BC(4698.85±574.71), 04hrC(4704.57±1144.87) , p=0.02) , 24hrC(4428.85±1135.73, p=0.03), 48hrC(4288.85±435.8, p=0.17), U Cystatin C (ng/mg of UCr) BC(3 46.06±224.7), 04hrC(219.66±72.18, p=0.91), 24hrC (470.21±536.28, p=0.99), 48hrC(633.61±811.77, p=0.23). Conclusion ROC curve analysis during pre-contrast exposure: NGAL, and Cystatin C), both plasma and urine level AUC was significantly higher in patients who develop CI-AKI and Post-contrast exposure Plasma levels AUC significantly higher than Urine levels.
