Renal Angina • What the &#$@ are you talking about? • Do I need to know this? • Implementation • Outcomes
Land of AKI Biomarkers Troponin Worship
50% 40.6%
Conclusion • Troponin performance significantly deteriorates when used outside of the clinical syndrome of angina • AKI Biomarkers will only perform well when used in the appropriate context
Renal Angina? Acute Flank Pain
Cardiac Angina Risk Factors • DM • HTN • Elevated Cholesterol • Family History • Tobacco Use Clinical Syndrome • Elephant on my chest • Squeezing/pressure • Jaw pain • Dyspnea If RF + Diagnostics > Threshold HIGH Likelihood of ACS
Renal Angina Risk Factors
Renal Angina Risk Factors • Mechanical Ventilation • Vasopressors • Nephrotoxins • Sepsis • MSOF • SCT • Volume Depletion Clinical Syndrome • Early evidence of AKI If RF + Diagnostics > Threshold HIGH Likelihood of ACS
Pediatric Renal Angina: Risk Factors • Moderate Risk (4.5% AKI rate) • ICU admission • High Risk (11%-21% AKI rate) • Stem cell transplantation • Very High Risk (51% AKI rate) • Invasive mechanical ventilation • One vasoactive medication
Pediatric Clinical Signs: GradationChest Pain Equivalent • Creatinine increase • Estimated creatinine clearance decrease (pRIFLE) • Fluid Accumulation from ICU admission
MV 1+ pressor Decomp HF SCT Ped ICU 2+Nephrotoxin
Putting Renal Angina to the Test • Preliminary data from CCHMC • Retrospective chart review of 150 patients admitted to the PICU • Median ICU LOS is 3 days • Assigned each patient risk category • Assessed for clinical signs (creatinine or fluid accumulation based) • Outcome: Day 0, 1 prediction of AKI at 72 hours • Secondary: PICU LOS, Mortality Basu, Wheeler, Chawla, Goldstein
Calculating Renal Angina Index = Renal Angina Index Score Angina > 8
RA on Day 0 to Predict AKI on Day 3 Multivariate analysis for Renal Angina, patient age, inotropy score and PRISM II score OR for Renal Angina on Day 1 to predict AKI on Day 3 =7.1 (1.9-27, p=0.004) Basu, Wheeler, Chawla, Goldstein: ASN 2011
Summary/Conclusions • AKI biomarkers hold promise for earlier diagnosis of AKI development and intensity • Risk stratification based on demographics alone may not sufficiently enrich the population to optimize AKI biomarker utility • Renal Angina, a concept that combines risk stratification and clinical signs may serve well to optimize biomarker utility
