Abstract
PURPOSE Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is associated with serious complications and reduced quality of life. Kidney failure is a frequent complication of acute pancreatitis (AP), however limited information is available regarding the impact of CP on this condition. In the kidney, 9 aquaporins (AQPs) are expressed to maintain body water homeostasis and concentrate urine. The purpose of this study was to morphologically assess and analyze the location and expression of AQP2, AQP3 and AQP4 and determine whether CP affects renal structure and expression of AQPs in collecting duct (CD) principal cells. MATERIALS/METHODS CP was induced in domestic pigs through intramuscular injections of cerulein (1 μg/kg bw/day for 6 days; n = 5); pigs without CP (n = 5) were used as a control group. Kidney samples were collected 6 weeks after the last injection and subjected to histological examination. Expression of AQPs was determined by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. RESULTS The kidneys of animals with CP exhibited moderate changes, including glomerular enlargement, increased collagen percentage, numerous stromal erythrorrhages and inflammatory infiltrations compared to control group. Although the total abundance of AQP2 in the CD decreased in pigs after cerulein administration, the difference was not statistically significant. Expression of AQP3 and AQP4 was limited to the basolateral membrane of the CD cells. AQP4 abundance remained relatively stable in both groups, while AQP3 expression increased nearly three-fold in pigs with CP. CONCLUSION This study identified morphological alterations and a statistically significant increase in the expression of renal AQP3 when pigs developed CP.

Abstract
Background and Aim There are criteria that include many organ systems to predict the prognosis in acute pancreatitis (AP) patients. In this study, we aimed to show how the course of the disease changes according to the Balthazar classification in AP patients presenting with renal failure. Methods and Materials Our study included 352 patients who were admitted to the Emergency Service of our hospital and were diagnosed and hospitalized with AP. According to the Balthazar score, patients with scores of 0-2, 4-6, and 8-10 were evaluated as mild, moderate, and severe AP, respectively. Demographic data (age, gender) of all patients were documented. The etiology of AP was determined in all patients. Biliary, drug/toxic, alcohol, infections, hyperlipidemia, post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), genetics, hypercalcemia, structural anomalies, and malignancy were evaluated as the etiology. Those without any underlying pathology were evaluated as idiopathic AP. The patients were divided into two groups as those with and without renal insufficiency. All patients underwent helical computed tomography (section 64, Aquilion; Toshiba Medical Systems, Tokyo) within the first 12 hours and between days 3 and 7. Pancreas, peripancreatic and extrapancreatic findings, and complications were examined. "The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 19.0 (SPSS Armonk, NY: IBM Corp.)" was used for all analyses. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and histograms were used to determine whether there was a normal distribution. The non-parametric data of the groups were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test and the parametric data using the ındependent t test. Chi-square test was used to test categorical data. Cases with P < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results : While 22 (6.2%) patients had renal insufficiency, 332 (95.8%) patients did not have renal insufficiency. In the evaluation made in terms of AP severity; according to Balthazar classification at admission, there was no difference in mild and moderate pancreatitis for kidney insufficiency in both groups, but it was significantly higher in the group with severe pancreatitis [2 (9.1%) versus 1 (0.3%), P < 0.001]. In the evaluation made after 72 hours; renal failure was significantly lower in the group with mild pancreatitis [11 (50.0%) versus 245 (73.8%), P: 0.016] and severe renal failure was significantly higher in severe pancreatitis [7 (31.8%) versus 13 (%) 3.9), P < 0.001]. Conclusions Early intensive care unit admission and close follow-up and early treatment in AP patients change the course of the disease. In our study, we showed that serum creatinine level is an important parameter in the course of AP and has a predictive value for the course of the disease.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is the most frequent gastrointestinal cause for hospitalization and one of the leading causes of in-hospital deaths. Severe acute pancreatitis is often associated with multiorgan failure and especially with acute kidney injury (AKI). AKI can develop early or late in the course of the disease and is a strong determinator of outcome. The mortality in the case of dialysis-dependent AKI and acute pancreatitis raises exponentially in the affected patients. AP-induced AKI (AP-AKI) shows many similarities but also distinct differences to other causes of AKI occurring in the intensive care unit setting. The knowledge of the exact pathophysiology can help to adjust, control and improve therapeutic approaches to the disease. Unfortunately, there are only a few studies dealing with AP and AKI.In this review, we discuss recent data about pathogenesis, causes and management of AP-AKI in patients with severe acute pancreatitis and exploit in this regard the diagnostic and prognostic potential of respective newer serum and urine markers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute exacerbation of CKD (ACKD) are common in dogs. OBJECTIVE To characterize the etiology, clinical and laboratory findings, and short- and long-term prognosis of dogs with ACKD. ANIMALS One hundred dogs with ACKD. METHODS Medical records of dogs diagnosed with ACKD admitted to a veterinary teaching hospital were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS The most common clinical signs included anorexia (84%), lethargy (77%), vomiting (55%) and diarrhea (37%). Presumptive etiology included inflammatory causes (30%), pyelonephritis (15%), ischemic causes (7%), other (3%), or unknown (45%). Median hospitalization time was 5 days (range, 2-29 days) and was significantly longer in survivors (6 days; range, 2-29 days) compared with nonsurvivors (4 days; range, 2-20 days; P < .001). Mortality rate was 35%. International Renal Interest Society (IRIS) acute kidney injury (AKI) grade at presentation was associated (P = .009) with short-term survival, but presumptive etiology was not (P = .46). On multivariable analysis; respiratory rate (P = .01), creatine kinase (CK) activity (P = .005) and serum creatinine concentration (SCR; P = .04) at presentation were associated with short-term outcome. Median survival time of dogs discharged was 105 days (95% confidence interval [CI], 25-184), with 35 and 8 dogs surviving up to 6 and 12 months, respectively. Presumptive etiology (P = .16) and SCR (P = .59) at discharge were not predictors of long-term survival. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE Short-term outcome of dogs with ACKD is comparable to those with AKI but long-term prognosis is guarded. The IRIS AKI grade at presentation is a prognostic indicator of short-term outcome.

Abstract
Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute decompensation of CKD (ACKD) are common in cats. Objectives To characterize the etiology, clinical and clinicopathologic findings, and the short‐ and long‐term prognosis of feline ACKD. Animals One hundred cats with ACKD. Methods Retrospective study, search of medical records for cats with ACKD. Results Common clinical signs included anorexia (85%), lethargy (60%), weight loss (39%), and vomiting (27%). Suspected etiologies included ureteral obstruction (11%), renal ischemia (9%), pyelonephritis (8%), others (6%), or unknown (66%). Hospitalization duration was longer in survivors versus nonsurvivors (median = 7 days, range = 2‐26 versus median = 3 days, range = 2‐20, respectively, P < .001). The survival rate to discharge was 58%. Age, serum creatinine, urea, and phosphorous concentrations were higher and venous blood pH was lower in nonsurvivors. However, only serum phosphorus remained associated with the short‐term outcome in the multivariable model (P = .02; 95% confidence interval = 1.03‐1.39). Survivors had a median survival time of 66 days after discharge. Serum creatinine concentrations at presentation as well as at discharge were associated with long‐term survival (P < .002 for both). Conclusions The short‐term prognosis of ACKD is comparable to acute kidney injury, while the long‐term prognosis is guarded.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis is a common disorder of the pancreas. It is the most frequent gastrointestinal cause for hospitalization and one of the leading causes of in-hospital deaths. Its severity ranges from mild self-limited disease to severe acute necrotizing pancreatitis characterized by systemic complications and multiorgan failure. Severe acute pancreatitis develops in about 20% of patients with acute pancreatitis and may be associated with multiorgan failure (respiratory, cardiovascular, and kidney). AKI is a frequent complication of severe acute pancreatitis and develops late in the course of the disease, usually after the failure of other organs. It carries a very poor prognosis, particularly if kidney replacement therapy is required, with mortality rates exceeding 75%. The exact pathophysiology of AKI in acute pancreatitis remains unclear but appears to result from initial volume depletion followed by complex vascular and humoral factors. Here, we provide an overview of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, causes, and management of AKI in patients with severe acute pancreatitis.

Abstract
Background Renal replacement therapies can be life‐saving for dogs with severe acute kidney injury (AKI), however, comorbidities including pancreatitis might affect outcome. Hypothesis/Objectives To investigate the prevalence of pancreas‐specific lipase (Spec cPL) measurements consistent with pancreatitis (≥400 μg/L) in dogs undergoing intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) for treatment of AKI and to determine whether there were associations between 30‐days outcomes and Spec cPL measurements. Animals Fifty‐three client‐owned dogs presented to teaching hospitals between November 2008 and September 2016 that underwent IHD. Methods Retrospective medical record review from dogs that received IHD for management of AKI and also had a Spec cPL measurement. Association between survival, dialysis‐dependency, and Spec cPL measurements was assessed. Results Forty of 53 (76%) dogs were alive at 30‐days and 33/53(62%) had a Spec cPL result ≥400 μg/L. Spec cPL was not significantly different either between surviving (635.5 μg/L, range 29–1,001) and nonsurviving dogs (860 μg/L, range 56–1,001; P = 0.75) or between dialysis‐dependent (1,001 μg/L, range 177–1,001) and nondialysis‐dependent dogs (520 μg/L, range 29–1,001; P = 0.08). Spec cPL ≥400 μg/L was not significantly associated either with survival (P = 0.74) or dialysis‐dependency (P = 0.33). Conclusions and Clinical Importance Results revealed a high prevalence of Spec cPL ≥400 μg/L in dogs with AKI treated with IHD. No significant associations between Spec cPL and survival or dialysis‐dependency in dogs with AKI at 30 days were identified in the current study, however, the latter could be due to lack of power in this study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To retrospectively determine the value of modified renal rim grade (MRRG) in predicting acute kidney injury (AKI) in the early phase of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). METHODS This institutional review board-approved retrospective study included patients with SAP who underwent abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) within 48 hours after disease onset. Modified renal rim grade, renal rim grade, CT severity index, modified CT severity index, extrapancreatic inflammation on CT scores, and posterior pararenal (PPR) space involvement were assessed. Clinical data, including bedside index of severity in acute pancreatitis and New Japanese Severity Scoring system scores, were collected. Primary end points were AKI and mortality. Scores were evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Correlational analyses between MRRG scores and the other scores were performed with Spearman analysis. RESULT One hundred five consecutive patients were enrolled in our study. The areas under the curve (AUCs) of MRRG in predicting AKI (0.90) and mortality (0.83) were comparable to extrapancreatic inflammation on CT (0.89 and 0.85, P > 0.05) and were higher than those of the other CT scores (P < 0.05). Modified renal rim grade score of greater than 4 yielded sensitivities and specificities of 81% and 89% for predicting AKI and 88% and 66% for mortality. Modified renal rim grade correlated moderately with bedside index of severity in acute pancreatitis (Spearman r = 0.47) and New Japanese Severity Scoring system (r = 0.43) scores. Besides, the prevalence of PPR space involvement in nonrecovery AKI patients was higher than that in recovery patients (94% vs 36%, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Modified renal rim grade is well correlated with the occurrence of AKI and mortality in SAP. The PPR space involvement is a promising prognostic factor for nonrecovery of AKI in SAP patients.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease with varied severity, ranging from mild local inflammation to severe systemic involvement resulting in substantial mortality. Early pathologic events in AP, both local and systemic, are associated with vascular derangements, including endothelial activation and injury, dysregulation of vasomotor tone, increased vascular permeability, increased leukocyte migration to tissues, and activation of coagulation. The purpose of the review was to summarize current evidence regarding the interplay between inflammation, coagulation and endothelial dysfunction in the early phase of AP. Practical aspects were emphasized: (1) we summarized available data on diagnostic usefulness of the markers of endothelial dysfunction and activated coagulation in early prediction of severe AP; (2) we reviewed in detail the results of experimental studies and clinical trials targeting coagulation-inflammation interactions in severe AP. Among laboratory tests, d-dimer and angiopoietin-2 measurements seem the most useful in early prediction of severe AP. Although most clinical trials evaluating anticoagulants in treatment of severe AP did not show benefits, they also did not show significantly increased bleeding risk. Promising results of human trials were published for low molecular weight heparin treatment. Several anticoagulants that proved beneficial in animal experiments are thus worth testing in patients.

Abstract
AIM: To study the prevalence and patterns of hepatic abnormal perfusion (HAP) visible by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in acute pancreatitis (AP).
METHODS: Enhanced abdominal MRI was performed on 51 patients with AP. These patients were divided into two groups according to the MRI results: those with signs of gallstones, cholecystitis, common bile duct (CBD) stones or dilatation of the CBD on MRI and those without. The prevalence, shape and distribution of HAP in the two groups were analyzed and compared. The severity of AP was graded using the MR severity index (MRSI). The correlation between the MRSI and HAP was then analyzed.
RESULTS: Of the 51 patients with AP, 32 (63%) showed at least one sign of gallbladder and CBD abnormalities on the MR images, while 19 (37%) showed no sign of gallbladder or CBD abnormalities. Nineteen patients (37%) had HAP visible in the enhanced images, including strip-, wedge- or patch-shaped HAP distributed in the hepatic tissue adjacent to the gallbladder and left and right liver lobes. There were no significant differences in the prevalence of HAP (χ2 = 0.305, P = 0.581 > 0.05) or HAP distribution in the liver (χ2 = 2.181, P = 0.536 > 0.05) between patients with and without gallbladder and CBD abnormalities. There were no significant differences in the MRSI score between patients with and without HAP (t = 0.559, P = 0.552 > 0.05). HAP was not correlated with the MRSI score.
CONCLUSION: HAP is common in patients with AP and appears strip-, patch- or wedge-shaped on MRI. HAP on MRI cannot be used to indicate the severity of AP.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to preliminarily investigate the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on structural change of capillary endothelial barrier and expression variation of aquaporin 1 (AQP1) in kidney at the onset of renal injury caused by severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Ninety male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into the control group, the SAP group in which animals received induction of SAP and the MSCs-treated group in which SAP-induced animals were injected with MSCs. They were further subdivided according to the time point that the animals were killed; 6 h, 12 h and 24 h after the closure of the incision, serum, pancreatic and renal samples were collected, respectively. The level of serum amylase (AMY), creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were analysed, the change of pancreatic histology was assessed, the structural change of the renal interstitial capillaries was evaluated using the transmission electron microscope (TEM) and the location and expression of AQP1 in kidney were analysed using immunohistochemistry, quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot. The outcomes showed that the level of serum AMY, Cr, BUN elevated, the damage of pancreatic tissue and renal capillary endothelial barrier was aggravated and the expression of AQP1 was reduced significantly after induced pancreatitis. But after treatments with MSCs, the elevation of AMY, Cr and BUN was inhibited, the damage of pancreatic tissue and renal interstitial capillary barrier was alleviated and the down-regulation of AQP1 was reversed. In summary, the MSCs therapy could alleviate renal injury in rats with SAP, the mechanism of which might be related to reduction of the damage to renal interstitial capillary endothelial barrier, and up-expression of AQP1 in kidney.

Risk factors and outcome of acute renal failure in patients with severe acute pancreatitis. J Crit Care 2009; 25:225-9. [PMID: 19781906 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcrc.2009.07.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 49] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2008] [Revised: 06/10/2009] [Accepted: 07/26/2009] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Acute renal failure (ARF) is one of the most common causes of death in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Here, we aimed to investigate the risk factors of ARF in patients with SAP, assess the prognosis of patients with SAP and ARF, and seek potential measures to prevent ARF. METHOD A cross-sectional study was performed to analyze the data from patients with SAP. Both univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed, including 15 indices such as age, history of renal disease, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II scores, hypoxemia, abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS), and others. Univariate analysis was also used to compare the prognosis between the groups of patients with SAP with and without ARF. RESULTS There was a significant difference in age, history of renal disease, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II scores, hypoxemia, and ACS between the groups with and without ARF. Patients with SAP and ARF had significantly longer average length of stay and intensive care unit length of stay and higher infection rate of the pancreas and mortality rate. CONCLUSION The significant risk factors for ARF in patients with SAP include history of renal disease, hypoxemia, and ACS. Measures that can prevent ARF include homeostasis maintenance, adequate perfusion of the kidneys, adequate oxygenation, and abdominal decompression to avoid ACS.

Abstract
The onset of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is clinically harmful as it may rapidly progress from a local pancreatic inflammation into proemial systemic inflammatory reactions. Patients with SAP have a high mortality, with most cases of death resulting from complications involving the failure of organs other than the pancreas. The distinctive feature of SAP is that once it starts, it may aggrevate the clinical condition of the patient continuously, so that the levels of injury to the other organs surpass the severity of the pancreatic lesion, even causing multiple organ failure and, ultimately, death. In clinical practice, the main complications in terms of organ dysfunctions are shock, acute respiratory failure, acute renal failure, among others. The acute renal injury caused by SAP is not only able to aggravate the state of pancreatitis, but it also develops into renal failure and elevates patients' mortality. Studies have found that the injury due to massive inflammatory mediators, microcirculation changes and apoptosis, among others, may play important roles in the pathogenic mechanism of acute renal injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe acute pancreatitis is characterized by pancreatic necrosis, resulting in local and systemic inflammation. Pancreatitis affects both the systemic and pancreatic vasculature. This review focuses on the underlying processes involved in the changes of microvascular anatomy following acute pancreatitis. METHODS A Medline/PubMed search (January 1966 to December 2005) with manual cross-referencing was conducted. All relevant articles investigating the pancreatic microcirculatory anatomy and the effect of pancreatitis on the microcirculation were included. RESULTS The pancreas is susceptible to ischaemic insult, which can exacerbate acute pancreatitis. There is also increasing evidence of pancreatic and systemic microvascular disturbances in the pathogenesis of pancreatitis, including vasoconstriction, shunting, inadequate perfusion, and increased blood viscosity and coagulation. These processes may be caused or exacerbated by ischaemia-reperfusion injury and the development of oxygen-derived free radicals. CONCLUSION Acute pancreatitis impairs the pancreatic and systemic microcirculation, which is a key pathological process in the development of severe necrotizing disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute renal failure (ARF) complicating severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) carries a high mortality. Clinically useful scores to define patients who will develop this complication are lacking. We try to determine the incidence of ARF and variables predicting the appearance and severity of the episodes. MATERIAL AND METHOD Retrospective study of all SAP patients admitted in an intensive care unit between 1991 and 1998 (n = 154). RESULTS ARF incidence was 42%. Haemodynamic instability, APACHE II and Ranson score were related to ARF development. 62.2% of severe ARF patients had multiple organ failure (MOF). Mortality was 71.2% compared to 6.8% in patients without ARF (39.9% in mild ARF and 94.6% in severe ARF). Etiology relates to mortality (prerenal [46.4%], after severe hypotensive episode [71.4%], in MOF [93.3%]; p < 0.005). 63.6% patients required replacement therapy (hemofiltration [HF] 95.5%), with a mortality of 89.3% (100% for intermittent dialysis compared to 88% with HF). In 32% patients treated with HF, ARF improved (when initiated early mortality was 76.9% compared to a 100% when initiated in more advanced stages) (p < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that ARF severity and haemodynamic failure were related with mortality. CONCLUSION ARF is a frequent and early complication of SAP, worsening its prognosis. FRA severity is related to the outcome. Need of replacement therapy supposes a high mortality. In this setting, HF seems to have advantages over conventional dialysis.

Abstract
To assess the prevalence of acute renal failure (ARF) in patients with acute pancreatitis, as well as the factors predictive of a lethal outcome, we retrospectively studied the data of all patients admitted to our hospital over a 5-year period. Between 1989 and 1993, 554 patients presented with acute pancreatitis, of which 24 (4.4%) subsequently developed ARF. Death occurred in 14/24 (58%) of patients with ARF, and was associated with an increased incidence of multiorgan failure. There was no statistically significant difference in the age, admission blood pressure, or admission pulse rate of the patients who survived and those who died. In contrast, death was associated with a higher Ranson score, and the increased prevalence of multiorgan failure. The length of hospitalization of the nonsurviving group was significantly shorter. Acute renal failure is not a common finding in patients with acute pancreatitis. However, when it occurs, it is associated with a poor prognosis, and is predicted by a higher Ranson score and the presence of multiorgan failure.
