Impact of Pediatric Acute Renal Injury in Severe Sepsis in Young Adults (IMPRESS-YA)

Long Term Impact of Pediatric Acute Renal Injury in Severe Sepsis in Young Adults - IMPRESS YA

Sepsis is the most common cause of childhood death worldwide. Millions of children survive, but are left with impaired health. Sepsis-related Acute Kidney Injury (sAKI) is increasingly recognized as a significant factor associated with long-term mortality among different patient populations. Renal dysfunction and subsequent chronic kidney disease is implicated in the development of hypertension and cardiovascular disease. The investigators overall hypothesis is that, in the pediatric population, sepsis-related AKI will have unrecognized, long-term consequences with regard to kidney function, endothelial function, blood pressure control, and overall health.

Study Overview

• Status: Withdrawn
• Conditions: Hypertension; Chronic Kidney Disease; Acute Kidney Injury
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Iodohippurate; Procedure: 24 hour ambulatory Blood Pressure; Procedure: Peripheral Arterial Tonometry; Procedure: Pulse Wave Velocity; Drug: Gadolinium

Detailed Description

This will be a two-arm cross-sectional control-cohort outpatient evaluation. Subjects with sAKI and a random selection of non-sAKI subjects who agree to participate in another study of quality of life survey will be asked to participate in the outpatient study. Subjects will be asked to come in to the Clinical Research Center for 24-hour monitoring and participate in the outpatient study where urinary and serum studies to measure glomerular filtration rate, renal plasma flow followed by blood pressure monitoring, peripheral arterial and applanation tonometry.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort	Intervention / Treatment
Sepsis with Severe AKI; This group will have a history of pediatric admission with sepsis-related Acute Kidney Injury (sAKI) which lead to classification of "injury" or "failure". The following test will be performed: urinary and serum studies to measure glomerular filtration rate by using gadolinium, renal plasma flow by using an injection of non-radioactive iodohippurate, followed by cardiovascular assessments using 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, peripheral arterial tonometry and pulse wave velocities (PWV).	Drug: Iodohippurate; An injection of non-radioactive iodohippurate (0.07 mL/kg) will be administered to determine renal plasma flow (RPF); Other Names: RPF filtration; Procedure: 24 hour ambulatory Blood Pressure; Ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring will be performed using a commercially available device (TIBA Ambulo 2400) for 24 hours with measurements every 30 minutes while awake and every hour during sleep.; Procedure: Peripheral Arterial Tonometry; The peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) device measures changes in the cutaneous circulation that correlate with flow-mediated dilatation.; Procedure: Pulse Wave Velocity; Carotid-femoral and carotid-radial pulse wave velocities (PWV), validated markers of individual cardiovascular risk, will be determined by applanation tonometry using SphygmoCorVx technology (AtCor Medical). PWV is an index of the overall stiffness of a vascular segment between measurement sites 59. Thus, while carotid-femoral PWV is an index of the overall stiffness of proximal (central) arteries, the overall stiffness of peripheral arteries contributes relatively more to carotid-radial PWV.; Drug: Gadolinium; Magnevist Gadolinium (GD)-diethylene-triamine-pentaacetic acid-bis-oleate (0.07 to 0.14 mL/kg) will be used to determine GFR.; Other Names: Magnevist Gadolinium (GD); Glomerular Function Rate (GFR) filtration
Sepsis without AKI; This group will have a history of a pediatric admission with sepsis which lead to no classification of sepsis-related Acute Kidney Injury (sAKI).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Glomerular Function Rate (GFR) filtration	Magnevist Gadolinium (GD)-diethylene-triamine-pentaacetic acid-bis-oleate (0.07 to 0.14 mL/kg) will be used to determine GFR.	Day 2
Renal plasma flow (RPF) filtration	An injection of non-radioactive iodohippurate (0.07 mL/kg) will be administered to determine renal plasma flow (RPF) filtration.	Day 2
Proteinuria will be measured in the urine	Proteinuria may be a sign of renal (kidney) damage. Since serum proteins are readily reabsorbed from urine, the presence of excess protein indicates either an insufficiency of absorption or impaired filtration. People with diabetes may have damaged nephrons and develop proteinuria.	Day 2
Cystatin C will be measured in the blood	Cystatin C can be measured in a random sample of serum (the fluid in blood from which the red blood cells and clotting factors have been removed) using immunoassays such as nephelometry or particle-enhanced turbidimetry.	Day 2
Microalbuminuria will be measured in the urine	The level of albumin protein produced by microalbuminuria can be detected by special albumin-specific urine dipsticks. A microalbumin urine test determines the presence of the albumin in urine. In a properly functioning body, albumin is not normally present in urine because it is retained in the bloodstream by the kidneys.	Day 2

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
24 hour ambulatory Blood Pressure	Ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring will be performed using a commercially available device (TIBA Ambulo 2400) for 24 hours with measurements every 30 minutes while awake and every hour during sleep.	24 hours
Peripheral Arterial Tonometry	The peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) device measures changes in the cutaneous circulation that correlate with flow-mediated dilatation.	24 hours
Pulse Wave Velocity	Carotid-femoral and carotid-radial pulse wave velocities (PWV), validated markers of individual cardiovascular risk, will be determined by applanation tonometry using SphygmoCorVx technology (AtCor Medical). PWV is an index of the overall stiffness of a vascular segment between measurement sites 59. Thus, while carotid-femoral PWV is an index of the overall stiffness of proximal (central) arteries, the overall stiffness of peripheral arteries contributes relatively more to carotid-radial PWV.	24 hours
