Abstrakt: Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) occurs in 2–5/1000 births, with acute kidney injury (AKI) occurring in 40%. AKI increases morbidity and mortality. Caffeine, an adenosine receptor antagonist, and photobiomodulation (PBM), working on cytochrome c oxidase, are potential treatments for AKI. To examine effects of caffeine and PBM on AKI in rats, Day 7 pups underwent a HIE intervention (Modified Rice–Vannucci model) replicating pathology observed in humans. Caffeine was administered for 3 days and/or PBM for 5 days following HIE. Weights and urine for biomarkers (NGAL, albumin, KIM‐1, osteopontin) were collected prior to HIE, daily post intervention and at sacrifice. Both treatments reduced kidney injury seen on electron microscopy, but not when combined. HIE elevated urinary NGAL and albumin on Days 1–3 post‐HIE, before returning to control levels. This elevation was significantly reduced by PBM or caffeine. KIM‐1 was significantly elevated for 7 days post‐HIE and was reduced by both treatments. Osteopontin was not altered by HIE or the treatments. Treatments, individually but not in combination, improved HIE‐induced reductions in the enzymatic activity of mitochondrial complexes II‐III. PBM and caffeine also improved weight gain. PBM and caffeine reduces AKI diagnosed by urinary biomarkers and confirmed by EM findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
