Ácido úrico y daño renal agudo en pacientes con alto riesgo de desarrollar daño renal agudo sometidos a cirugía cardiaca: cohorte prospectiva multicéntrica

Abstract

Purpose: It is unclear whether preoperative serum uric acid (SUA) elevation may play a role in the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) associated with cardiac surgery (CSA-AKI). We conducted a cohort study to evaluate the influence of preoperative hyperuricemia on AKI in patients at high risk for developing SC-AKI. Design: Multicenter prospective international cohort study. Setting: Fourteen university hospitals in Spain and the United Kingdom. Participants: We studied 261 consecutive patients at high risk of developing CSA-AKI, according to a Cleveland score >4 points, from July to December 2017. Interventions: None. Measurements and Main Results: AKIN criteria were used for the definition of AKI. Multivariable logistic regression models and propensity score-matched pairwise analysis were used to determine the adjusted association between preoperative hyperuricemia (> = 7 mg/dL) and AKI. Elevated preoperative AUS (> = 7 mg/dL) was present in 190 patients (72.8%), whereas CSA-AKI occurred in 145 patients (55.5%). In multivariable logistic regression models, hyperuricemia was not associated with a significantly increased risk of AKI (adjusted Odds Ratio [OR]: 1.58; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.81-3; p = 0.17). In propensity score-matched analysis of 140 patients, the hyperuricemia group experienced similar adjusted odds of AKI (OR 1.05, 95% CI 0.93-1.19, p = 0.37). Conclusions: Hyperuricemia was not associated with an increased risk of AKI in this cohort of patients undergoing cardiac surgery at high risk of developing CSA-AKI. (c) 2024 The Author(s).
