Serum Interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 are early biomarkers of acute kidney injury and predict prolonged mechanical ventilation in children undergoing cardiac surgery: a case-control study

Abstract: IntroductionAcute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with high mortality rates. New biomarkers that can identify subjects with early AKI (before the increase in serum creatinine) are needed to facilitate appropriate treatment. The purpose of this study was to test the role of serum cytokines as biomarkers for AKI and prolonged mechanical ventilation.MethodsThis was a case-control study of children undergoing cardiac surgery. AKI was defined as a 50% increase in serum creatinine from baseline within 3 days. Leve… Show more

“…Proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α are increased in patients with AKI, 16 and increased levels of IL-6 and IL-8 predicted prolonged mechanical ventilation in patients with AKI. 15 The inflammatory nature of AKI and the resultant effect on the lungs is highlighted by studies in animal models demonstrating that inflammatory genes are up-regulated in the kidney and lung 32 and that anti-inflammatory treatment with IL-6 inhibition, 33 α-MSH 34 or a p38 MAP kinase inhibitor 35 protect against lung injury in animal models of AKI. Because ESRD is generally regarded as an immune-deficient state, 21 it is possible that the proinflammatory cytokine production may be dampened in patients with ESRD.…”

“…For example, increased proinflammatory cytokines associated with AKI may contribute to extra-renal organ dysfunction such as acute lung injury (ALI). [13][14][15][16] Furthermore, recent attention has been given to the role of fluid overload as a factor associated with increased mortality in patients with AKI. [17][18][19] Many of the factors associated with increased mortality in patients with AKI are likely to be absent in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).…”

“…21 This study is one of the first large-scale validations of these two inflammatory cytokines from the early human studies in the setting of cardiac surgery, [22][23][24][25] and it elucidates the state and contributions of inflammation via the cytokine response and balance of pro-and anti-inflammatory forces in AKI.…”

“…AKI is defined when any of the following three criteria are met; an increase in serum creatinine by 50%, an increase in serum creatinine>0.3 mg/dL or oliguria (21). In the study conducted by Liu and colleagues (14) defined AKI was a 50% or greater increase in serum creatinine from baseline within 3 days. Of the 71 pediatric patients undergoing open heart surgery, AKI developed in 20 patients (28%).…”
