Abstract
AbstractAcute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of perinatal asphyxia and is associated with poorer short-term and long-term outcomes. This retrospective study describes the incidence of AKI in asphyxiated neonates who have received therapeutic hypothermia using the proposed modified Kidney Diseases: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) definition and investigates clinical markers that would allow earlier recognition of at-risk neonates. We included asphyxiated neonates who underwent therapeutic hypothermia between the period of January 2011 and May 2018 in our study. The serum creatinine levels within a week of birth were used in establishing AKI according to the modified KDIGO definition. Demographic data, resuscitation details, laboratory results and use of medications were collected and compared between the AKI and non-AKI groups to identify variables that differed significantly. A total of 66 neonates were included and 23 out of them (35%) were found to have AKI. The neonates with AKI had a lower gestational age (p = 0.006), lower hemoglobin level (p = 0.012), higher lactate level before and after therapeutic hypothermia (p = 0.013 and 0.03 respectively) and higher troponin-I level after therapeutic hypothermia (p < 0.001). After logistic regression analysis, elevated troponin-I after therapeutic hypothermia was independently associated with risk of AKI (OR 1.69, 95% CI 1.067–2.699, p = 0.025). The receiver operating curve showed that troponin-I after therapeutic hypothermia had an area under curve of 0.858 at the level 0.288 ng/ml. Our study concludes that the incidence of AKI among asphyxiated newborns who received therapeutic hypothermia is 35% and an elevated troponin-I level after therapeutic hypothermia is independently associated with an increased risk of AKI in asphyxiated newborns.
