Abstract

Background and Aims: The diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) is of importance among patients with ST segment elevation (STEMI) undergoing primary coronary intervention (PCI). It is often delayed given the need in serial measurements of creatinine or other serum markers. Neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a proven marker for AKI, although its role as an early predictor in this setting was scarcely addressed before and was the aim of our study. Methods: Prospective observational study including 133 patients with STEMI treated with PCI. Plasma NGAL was drawn immediately before PCI (NGAL‐0) and 24 h after (NGAL‐24). Similar analysis of C‐reactive protein (CRP) was performed for additional comparison. Results: Mean age was 62 ± 13 years, 78% were men, and 20 (15%) developed AKI after admission. Patients with AKI after admission demonstrated higher levels of NGAL‐0 (164 vs. 95 ng/mL; p < 0.001) and NGAL‐24 (142 vs. 93 ng/mL; p < 0.001). Levels of NGAL‐0 and NGAL‐24 were similar within the AKI and non‐AKI groups. Using ROC curve analysis, NGAL‐0 had best predictive ability for AKI development (AUC 0.841, 95% CI 0.80–0.96), compared with NGAL‐24 (0.783, 95% CI 0.74–0.85), CRP‐0 (0.701, 95% CI 0.58–0.83), and CRP‐24 (0.781, 95% CI 0.66–0.90). The optimal NGAL‐0 cutoff for AKI prediction was 125 ng/mL, with 70% sensitivity, 84% specificity, and 94% negative predictive value. Conclusions: Among STEMI patients, NGAL measurement upon admission are associated with AKI and may serve as a reliable marker for early AKI detection. Future studies may direct risk stratification using this single test can direct personalized evaluations during the admission, and focused interventions to prevent AKI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Introduction: The C‐reactive protein (CRP)‐troponin‐test (CTT) comprises simultaneous serial measurements of CRP and cardiac troponin and might reflect the systemic inflammatory response in patients with acute coronary syndrome. We sought to test its ability to stratify the short‐ and long‐term mortality risk in patients with non‐ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Methods: We examined 1,675 patients diagnosed with NSTEMI on discharge who had at least two successive measurements of combined CRP and cardiac troponin within 48 h of admission. A tree classifier model determined which measurements and cutoffs could be used to best predict mortality during a median follow‐up of 3 years [IQR 1.8–4.3]. Results: Patients with high CRP levels (> 90th percentile, >54 mg/L) had a higher 30‐day mortality rate regardless of their troponin test findings (16.7% vs. 2.9%, p < 0.01). However, among patients with "normal" CRP levels (< 54 mg/L), those who had high troponin levels (> 80th percentile, 4,918 ng/L) had a higher 30‐day mortality rate than patients with normal CRP and troponin concentrations (7% vs. 2%, p < 0.01). The CTT test result was an independent predictor for overall mortality even after adjusting for age, sex, and comorbidities (HR = 2.28 [95% CI 1.56‐3.37], p < 0.01 for patients with high troponin and high CRP levels). Conclusions: Early serial CTT results may stratify mortality risk in patients with NSTEMI, especially those with "normal" CRP levels. The CTT could potentially assess the impact of inflammation during myocardial necrosis on the outcomes of patients with NSTEMI and identify patients who could benefit from novel anti‐inflammatory therapies.

Abstract

Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is an inflammatory biomarker related to acute kidney injury (AKI). Including 1892 consecutive patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), in which NGAL was measured in 1624 (86%) on admission and in a consecutive subgroup at 6–12 h (n = 163) and 12–24 h (n = 222) after admission, this study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of NGAL in predicting AKI and mortality. Patients were stratified based on whether their admission NGAL plasma concentration was greater than or equal to/less than the median. The primary endpoint was a composite of the first occurrence of AKI or all-cause death within 30 days. AKI was classified by the maximal plasma creatinine increase from baseline during index admission as KDIGO1 (<200% increase) or KDIGO23 (≥200% increase) according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) system. Admission NGAL > the median was independently associated with a higher risk of severe AKI (KDIGO2-3) and 30-day all-cause mortality when adjusted for age, admission systolic blood pressure and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, left-ventricular ejection fraction, known kidney dysfunction, and cardiogenic shock with an odds ratio (95% confidence interval) of 2.26 (1.18–4.51), p = 0.014. Finally, we observed increasing predictive values in a subgroup during the first day of hospitalization suggesting that assessment of NGAL should be delayed for optimal prognostic purposes.
