BACKGROUND & AIMS
Renal function is a major determinant of prognosis in patients with cirrhosis. Current guidelines only contemplate serum creatinine (sCr) to assess kidney injury. However, there are formulas to estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) which better measure renal function in patients listed for liver transplantation. There is no data available on whether these formulas predict prognosis in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI).
METHODS
In 143 patients presenting with a first episode of AKI, we compared the prognostic value of renal function estimated using sCr or eGFR assessed with Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD-6), chronic kidney disease epidemiology (CKD-EPI) and Royal Free Hospital (RFH) for renal replacement therapy (RRT) within 30 days of AKI, and 30- and 90-day transplant-free survival.
RESULTS
eGFR was calculated on values obtained before and at admission, at presentation of AKI (D0) and 48 hours after AKI (D2).15% of patients (more commonly in alcohol+metabolic etiology; p=0.049 vs. other) required RRT. Transplant-free survival at 30-and 90-day were 77% and 63%. Among sCr, MDRD-6, CKD-EPI and RFH-eGFR, the latter predicted best RRT (HR .937 95% CI .893-.982, p=0.007), 30-d (HR .936 95% CI .901-.972, p=0.001) and 90-d (HR .934 95% CI .908-.972, p<0.001) mortality/OLT.
CONCLUSIONS
Renal function estimated using the RFH-eGFR calculated at D2 after AKI diagnosis is a strong predictor of RRT and of 30-d and 90-d transplant-free survival. Results suggest that in cirrhosis, RFH-eGFR may be a better indicator of prognosis in AKI than sCr.
