Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common after pediatric cardiac surgery (CS). Several urine biomarkers have been validated to detect AKI earlier. The objective of this study was to evaluate urine CHI3L1, NGAL, TIMP-2, IGFBP7, and NephroCheck® as predictors for AKI ≥ 1 in pediatric CS after 48 h and AKI ≥ 2 after 12 h. Pediatric patients (age < 18 year; body weight ≥ 2 kg) requiring CS were prospectively included. Urine CHI3L1, NGAL, TIMP-2, IGFBP7, and NephroCheck® were measured during surgery and intensive care unit (ICU) stay and corrected for urine dilution. One hundred and one pediatric patients were included. AKI ≥ 1 within 48 h after ICU admission occurred in 62.4% and AKI ≥ 2 within 12 h in 30.7%. All damage biomarkers predicted AKI ≥ 1 within 48 h after ICU admission, when corrected for urine dilution: CHI3L1 (AUC-ROC: 0.642 (95% CI, 0.535–0.741)), NGAL (0.765 (0.664–0.848)), TIMP-2 (0.778 (0.662–0.868)), IGFBP7 (0.796 (0.682–0.883)), NephroCheck® (0.734 (0.614–0.832)). Similarly, AKI ≥ 2 within 12 h was predicted by all damage biomarkers when corrected for urine dilution: uCHI3L1 (AUC-ROC: 0.686 (95% CI, 0.580–0.780)), NGAL (0.714 (0.609–0.804)), TIMP-2 (0.830 (0.722–0.909)), IGFBP7 (0.834 (0.725–0.912)), NephroCheck® (0.774 (0.658–0.865)). After pediatric cardiac surgery, the damage biomarkers urine CHI3L1, NGAL, TIMP-2, IGFBP7, and NephroCheck® reliably predict AKI after correction for urine dilution. |
