Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and risk factors of acute kidney injury (AKI) in portal venous hypertension patients undergoing transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS).Methods:It was a retrospective observational study. In this study, the clinical data of portal venous hypertension patients undergoing TIPS at Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University from October 16, 2020 to March 30, 2022 were collected retrospectively. According to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) definition of AKI, patients were divided into AKI group and non-AKI group. The clinical characteristics of the patients were compared between the two groups, and multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of AKI.Results:A total of 384 patients undergoing TIPS were included in this study, whose age was (53.17±13.35) years. Among them, 122 (31.8%) were female, and 32 patients (8.3%) had AKI. Compared to the non-AKI group, the proportion of patients with diabetes mellitus, baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1 and intraoperative hypotension, Child-Pugh score of liver function, preoperative serum creatinine, preoperative blood uric acid, and postoperative portal venous pressure gradient (PPG) were higher in AKI group (all P<0.05), while the levels of hemoglobin and serum albumin were lower (both P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression results showed that combined diabetes ( OR=3.728, 95% CI 1.262-11.013, P=0.017), baseline eGFR<60 ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1( OR=3.571, 95% CI 1.356-9.400, P=0.010), decreased serum albumin ( OR=0.847, 95% CI 0.738-0.972, P=0.018), increased PPG after TIPS ( OR=1.096, 95% CI 1.002-1.200, P=0.045) and intraoperative hypotension ( OR=7.006, 95% CI 2.023-24.195, P=0.002) were independently associated with postoperative AKI in portal venous hypertension patients undergoing TIPS. Until discharge, 6 patients with AKI (18.8%) had complete renal function recovery, 24 patients (75.0%) partially recovered, and 2 patients (6.3%) did not recover. The length of hospital stay, hospitalization costs, and all-cause mortality in AKI patients were significantly higher than those in the non-AKI group ( P<0.05, respectively). Conclusions:AKI is not uncommon in patients receiving TIPS. The classical risk factors of AKI, such as diabetes and baseline renal dysfunction, and the factors affecting volumes like lower serum albumin level, hypotension during the operation, and higher PPG level are closely related to the incidence of AKI in these patients. AKI significantly increases the all-cause mortality and medical expenses, which is worth early prevention and treatment by clinicians.
