| Popis: | Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication with high mortality rates among preterm infants at neonatal intensive care units. Identifi cation of preterm newborns who are at risk for developing AKI is essential not only for early diagnosis and treatment, but also for prevention since AKI signifi cantly worsens an outcome of any disease. Studying the information content of additional non-invasive markers for AKI, in particular, parameters of regional renal oxygen saturation (RrSO2) and Doppler estimation of blood fl ow in the main renal vessels is interesting. The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of additional markers (measurements of RrSO2 and blood fl ow in the main renal vessels using Doppler ultrasonography) in diagnosing of AKI and its degree of severity in preterm newborns with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Material and methods. A single- center, open, prospective cohort study examined 66 preterm infants born at 29-36 weeks of gestational age (GA) undergoing treatment at the Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care for newborns. Inclusion criteria: preterm newborns born between 29-36 week’s gestation with hemodynamically signifi cant PDA (hsPDA), a written informed consent to participate in this study provided by parents. Exclusion criteria: congenital malformations, grades III-IV intracerebral or intraventricular hemorrhages, neonatal sepsis, severe perinatal asphyxia, skin diseases, fetal growth restriction. Clinical examination and treatment of children was carried out according to current guidelines. The modifi ed neonatal KDIGO criteria were used to diagnose and characterize the severity of AKI. Doppler ultrasound measurements were done to reveal the presence, size, and hemodynamic signifi cance of PDA. Color Doppler ultrasonography was performed to evaluate intrarenal hemodynamics upon hospital admission of children prior to prescribing ibuprofen, and in the case of hsPDA detection – on the 3rd and 10th days of life. Blood fl ow in the area from the main renal artery to the interlobar renal artery of the right kidney was measured including peak systolic velocity (PSV), end diastolic velocity (EDV), and the resistive index (RI) was calculated. RrSO2 values were recorded using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and renal fractional tissue oxygen extraction (rFTOE) was estimated within 24 hours on the 1st, 3rd and 10th days of life. The study received a positive conclusion of the Biomedical Ethics Commission of Dnipro State Medical University (minutes of the Commission meeting No. 8 dated 04.26.2023), which considered the scientifi c study as being consisted with generally accepted norms of morality, human rights requirements, interests and personal dignity of the study participants, bioethical standards of work with pediatric patients. There was no risk for study participants when performing examinations. Legal guardians of the children enrolled in the study were informed about all aspects related to the purpose, tasks, methods and expected benefi ts of the study. Laboratory and instrumental methods of examinations were generally adopted, medicines planned to be prescribed were licensed for use. Experiments with human subjects were not carried out. Statistical processing of the results was realized using a software product STATISTICA 6.1® (StatSoft Inc., serial number AGAR909E415822FA). A set of statistical analysis methods based on parametric and non-parametric criteria was used for solving the tasks of testing a hypothesis on diff erences between mean values, methods of assessing the eff ect with an alternative form of a reaction result, correlation analysis (Spearman’s rank correlation), cluster analysis. The study was conducted within the bounds of complex research activities at the Department of Propaedeutics of Children’s Diseases and Pediatrics No. 2 of Dnipro State Medical University “Development of criteria for early diagnosis and prediction of comorbid kidney damage in children with somatic and infectious diseases” (state registration number 0119U100836), the study period 09.2019-12.2023. Results. Group 1 (with moderate renal impairment) included 43 patients with a GA of 33.27±0.43 weeks. AKI was detected in 12 patients (27.9%), of those, 10 (23.3%) children developed stage 1 AKI according to the modifi ed neonatal KDIGO criteria, and stage 2 AKI were classifi ed in 2 (4.7%) patients. Group 2 was composed of 5 patients (infants with severe renal impairment) with a GA of 31.60±0.75 weeks. All the children in this group had diff erent stages of AKI (stages 1-3), which progressed to acute renal failure after 7 days. Mortality in this group was 60%. Group 3 consisted of 18 patients (infants with mild renal impairment) with a GA of 32.86±0.29 weeks. AKI stage 1 was diagnosed in 2 (11.1%) patients, and AKI was not detected in 16 (88.9%) of them. On the 1st day of life, the PSV and EDV values of the interlobar artery in children of the group with mild renal impairment were higher than those in children with a severe course of the disease (p |
