Sex differences in the association between D-dimer and the incidence of acute kidney injury in patients admitted with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: a retrospective observational study.

Abstract
Identifying the predictors of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) remains important. We aimed to investigate the predictive value of D-dimer levels for the incidence of AKI in such a population, with particular attention paid to sex differences. A total of 2668 patients with STEMI who underwent PPCI were retrospectively included in this study and divided into quartiles according to their plasma D-dimer levels upon admission (Q1: < 0.36; Q2: 0.36-0.67; Q3: 0.68-1.17; Q4: > 1.17 mg/L). The primary endpoint was the occurrence of AKI during hospitalization. AKI was observed in 503 (18.8%) patients. The mean age of the patients was 63.0 ± 13.2 years, 2155 (80.8%) of whom were men. Multivariate analysis indicated that higher D-dimer levels were associated with a significantly increased risk of AKI (Q4 vs. Q1: OR: 1.57; 95% CI 1.11-2.23; P = 0.011). However, the prognostic effect of D-dimer was only observed in male patients (Q4 vs. Q1: OR: 2.07; 95% CI 1.37-3.13; P < 0.001), not in female patients (Q4 vs. Q1: OR: 0.72; 95% CI 0.37-1.41; P = 0.342) (P for interaction = 0.003). We demonstrated a notable sex difference in the association between D-dimer level upon admission and AKI in a large STEMI patient sample. A higher D-dimer level was associated with an increased risk of AKI in male patients but not in female patients.

Abstract
Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is an important complication following the use of iodinated contrast media. Bilirubin has a protective effect but may also aggravate CI-AKI. The purpose of this systematic review was to assess whether bilirubin is a risk factor for CI-AKI. We searched the databases PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Ovid Medline, CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure), VPCS (Vip Paper Check System), Wanfang, and CBM (Chinese BioMedical Literature Database) from the initial date to May 6, 2023. We summarized the results by directly combining the effect-size odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) and identified sources of heterogeneity through subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis, and meta-regression analysis. A total of 10 studies (14 data sets) were included: 7 retrospective studies (10 data sets) and 3 prospective studies (4 data sets), involving 12776 participants. The incidence of CI-AKI of 16% (95% CI: 14-19%). Total bilirubin was positively associated with the occurrence of CI-AKI (OR = 1.80; 95% CI: 1.36-2.38). Both low and high bilirubin concentrations were risk factors for CI-AKI. The incidence of CI-AKI was higher in the low bilirubin group than in the high bilirubin group.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Whether hemostatic status was correlated with the diverse types of acute kidney injury in cirrhotic patients is unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between hemostatic markers and the diverse types of acute kidney injury (AKI) in liver cirrhosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Cirrhotic patients with consecutive treatment at the First Affiliated Hospital of Medicine School, Zhejiang University, were pooled in a cohort. Their demographic and clinical data, biochemistry parameters and hemostatic markers were assessed to identify risk factors for the development and prognosis of AKI. RESULTS A total of 773 cirrhotic patients were included in this cohort. Patients with hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) had significantly higher D-Dimer than those with the other types of AKI. In univariate COX regression, APTT, TT, INR, D-Dimer and Fib were correlated with the development of AKI, HRS and acute tubular necrosis (ATN), however, only D-Dimer remained independently associated with the development of AKI and HRS in multivariate COX regression. The area under the ROC curve of D-Dimer was 0.755 (95%CI, 0.718-0.793) in predicting the development of AKI, 0.879 (95%CI, 0.791-0.967) in predicting the development of HRS, respectively. D-Dimer was used for diagnosis of HRS with a sensitivity of 87.3% and specificity of 72.9% at the cutoff of 3.7 (mg/L FEU). Survival rates differed significantly between groups by D-Dimer level. CONCLUSIONS Hemostatic markers were significantly associated with the diverse types of AKI. D-Dimer was an independent risk factor for HRS and correlated with a poor outcome in cirrhotic patients.

D-dimer for risk stratification and antithrombotic treatment management in acute coronary syndrome patients: asystematic review and metanalysis. Thromb J 2021; 19:102. [PMID: 34922573 PMCID: PMC8684263 DOI: 10.1186/s12959-021-00354-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2021] [Accepted: 11/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Data on the prognostic role of D-dimer in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are controversial. Our aim was to summarize current evidence on the association between D-dimer levels and short/long-term poor prognosis of ACS patients. We also investigated the association between D-dimer and no-reflow phenomenon. METHODS Systematic review and metanalysis of observational studies including ACS patients and reporting data on D-dimer levels. PubMed and SCOPUS databases were searched. Data were combined with hazard ratio (HR) and metanalysed. The principal endpoint was a composite of cardiovascular events (CVEs) including myocardial infarction, all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. RESULTS Overall, 32 studies included in the systematic review with 28,869 patients. Of them, 6 studies investigated in-hospital and 26 studies long-term outcomes. Overall, 23 studies showed positive association of high D-dimer levels with CVEs. D-dimer levels predicted poor prognosis in all studies reporting in-hospital outcomes. Five studies satisfied inclusion criteria and were included in the metanalysis, with a total of 8616 patients. Median follow-up was 13.2 months with 626 CVEs. The pooled HR for D-dimer levels and CVEs was 1.264 (95% CI 1.134-1.409). Five out of 7 studies (4195 STEMI patients) investigating the association between D-dimer levels and no-reflow showed a positive correlation of D-dimer levels with no-reflow. CONCLUSIONS In patients with ACS, D-dimer was associated with higher in-hospital and short/long-term complications. D-dimer was also higher in patients with no-reflow phenomenon. The use of D-dimer may help to identify patients with residual thrombotic risk after ACS. TRIAL REGISTRATION The review protocol was registered in PROSPERO International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews: CRD42021267233 .
