Mortality post cardiac surgery
Case #1
A 76 yr old female presents to ED with
abdominal pain and dyspnea
 Serum creatinine is 135 mmol


Does she have AKI?
Diagnostic Approach
Time of onset – prior serum creatinine
 Careful review of history and physical
exam

 Comorbidities
 Medications
 Current illness (vomiting, diarrhea, blood
loss, etc)
 BP, volume status, skin lesions,
flank/abdominal signs
Case #1
DM2, HTN, CAD (CABG 2004), CVA
2000 (right CEA 2009), hypothyroidism
 Medications

 telmistartan 80 mg, ramipril 10 mg,
furosemide 40/80 mg, metoprolol, clonidine,
atorvastatin, clopidogrel, insulin, thyroxine

If this is AKI, what are the most likely
diagnoses?

Principles of AKI Management
Identify AKI
 Avoid further nephrotoxic injury
 Optimize renal hemodynamics
 Treat complications

 Fluid balance, electrolytes, uremia
Nutritional support
 Renal Support (RRT)
 Monitoring after AKI

Medications

Pre-renal
 Calcineurin inhibitors, radiocontrast, ACEi/
ARB, NSAIDS, amphotericin B

Intra-renal
 aminoglycosides, amphotericin B, cisplatin,
cephalosporins, sulfa, rifampin, NSAIDS,
interferon

Post-renal
 acyclovir, MTX, indinavir, sulfadiazine

Review renal dosing of medications
Fluid Management

Correct fluid deficit
 Will not guarantee AKI prevention
 Studies of PA catheters did not reduce AKI

High urine flow in specific conditions
 Myoglobinuria, tumour lysis, contrast media, etc.

Little evidence on fluid choice
 Crystalloids
 Hypooncotic colloids (4% albumin)
 Hyperoncotic solutions (HES, dextrans) carry
risk of renal dysfunction
Renal Perfusion and
Vasoactive Agents

No support for
 Loop diuretics
 Dopamine

Selected use of
 Mannitol (Rhabdomyolysis, post-cardiac
surgery)

Unclear support for
 Natriuretic peptides (ANP, BNP)
 Fenoldopam (DA agonist)
 Theophylline (adenosine antagonist)
Renal Perfusion
Vasopressors
 Inotropes to improve low cardiac
function
 Target MAP needs to be individualized

 Commonly 65 mmHg
 Higher in elderly where autoregulation
impaired
Nutrition in AKI

AKI is a catabolic state
 Inadequate nutritional support can delay renal
recovery

Cochrane review 2010:
 “There is not enough evidence to support the
effectiveness of nutritional support for AKI…”

Adequate calorie delivery in anuric patient
will necessitate RRT
Treat Complications
Monitor and correct electrolytes,
acidosis
 Renal replacement therapy

 If indicated, do not withhold until patient is
anuric
Indications for Dialysis

AEIOU
 Acidosis
 Electrolyte disturbance
 Ingestions
 Overload (volume)
 Uremia

Fluids – Isotonic vs.
Hypotonic

Isotonic saline (0.9%) more protective
than half normal (0.45%)
 1,620 pts undergoing cardiac catheterization

Goal is to achieve ‘good’ urine flow
Mueller C et al. Arch Intern Med. 162: 329-336, 2002
Fluids

Optimal rate and duration is not clear

IV rate >1-1.5 ml/kg/hr to achieve urine
flow >150 ml/hr

At least 1hr (3-12hr) prior and 3-6hr (612hr) after contrast
Bicarbonate vs Saline

Bicarbonate

Effectiveness is uncertain

Evidence that it should be preferred over
isotonic saline is weak and inconsistent
N-Acetylcysteine – Rationale

Scavenger of free radicals

Vasodilatory properties; enhanced NO
availability

Attenuates ischemic injury in animals
N-Acetylcysteine
Kelly AM et al. Ann Intern Med 2008;148:284-294
Standard vs. High Dose NAC
N=354, <12h post STEMI
Standard: 600 mg IV pre,
600 mg PO bid post
High: 1200 mg IV pre,
1200 mg PO bid post
In-hopsital mortality:
11% placebo
4% low-dose
3% high dose
Marenzi G et al. N Engl J Med 2006;354:2773-2782
N-Acetylcysteine

Actual benefit is debatable, but safe*
and inexpensive

Appropriate to give IV or high-dose oral

Give in combination with IV isotonic
fluids
Contrast Medium

Limit ‘volume’ of iodine
grams iodine/GFR < 1

Iso-osmolar or low-osmolar contrast
preferred
 IA: iso-osmolar
 IV: low or iso-osmolar
MUHC CT Contrast

Iohexol (Omnipaque)
• Low-osmolar; Omni 300 ~ 650 mOsm/kg

Iodixanol (Visipaque)
• Iso-osmolar; Visi270 or 320 ~ 290 mOsm/kg
Both non-ionic
 Concentration from 140-400 mg
iodine/ml

Hemodialysis/Hemofiltration

5 trials with conflicting results
 RR for AKI 1.35 (95%CI 0.93-1.94)

Insufficient evidence to recommend
prophylactic hemodialysis or
hemofiltration

Treatment to Reverse HRS
Which of the following have been shown to
be effective?
1. Albumin
2. Combination Midodrine and Octreotide
3. Noradrenaline
4. Terlipressin
5. Dopamine
Albumin

Intravenous albumin in addition to antibiotics improves
survival in SBP
 Sort et al. NEJM 1999;341:403

Albumin indicated when doing paracentesis

Improved outcomes when combined with pressors
Midodrine and Octreotide

Octreotide 100 ug sq TID increasing to 200 ug
sq TID
 inhibitor of endogenous vasodilators and glucagon

Midodrine 7.5 mg po TID increasing to 12.5
mg po TID
 peripheral vasoconstriction

Midodrine and Octreotide sometimes helpful
 Response rate about 30-50%
Noradrenalin

Effects of Noradrenalin and albumin in patients
with Type I HRS: A Pilot Study. Hepatology
2002; 36:374

Noradrenaline started at 0.1 ug/kg/min and
increased every 4 hrs based on BP by 0.05
ug/kg/min to max of 0.7 ug/kg/min

Combined treatment lowered creatinine from 2.6
to 1.6 over 10 days

Overall 2-month survival in this group of 12
patients was 58%
Terlipressin

Numerous studies have shown a benefit in
treating patients with HRS benefit is generally
a 50% improvement in GFR.

Better when combined with albumin

Ischemic complications and worsening of
cerebral hyperemia

Effect is not long lasting
Terlipressin and Change in
Serum Creatinine
Case 3
68 year old female admitted with
worsening dyspnea, leg edema
 Known CAD, CHF (LVEF 10%), DM2,
CKD (Cr 140), …
 Meds: ACEi, BB, nitrate, loop diuretic,
aldactone, statin, ASA, insulin, etc.
 Aggressively diuresed for 3 days, Cr 250

Cardio-Renal Conundrum
Cardiorenal syndrome
CRS Type 1
CRS Type 2
CRS Type 3
CRS Type 4
CRS Type 5
Cardio-Renal Syndrome

AT blockade interferes with autoregulation and
may need to be held if GFR deteriorates

Avoidance of agents which interfere with renal
sodium handling
 NSAIDs, Coxibs, Thiazolidinediones
 Nephrotoxic agents (e.g. contrast)

Serum potassium may also limit continued use
of RAS blockade or K-sparing diuretics
