ABSTRACT: Background
The reliability of presepsin as a biomarker of sepsis may be reduced in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT). This study analyzed the utility of plasma presepsin values in predicting mortality in patients with AKI requiring CKRT, particularly those with sepsis-associated AKI.Methods
This single-center retrospective study included 57 patients who underwent CKRT, with plasma presepsin measurements, from April 2022 to March 2023; 35 had sepsis-associated AKI. The predictive values of plasma presepsin, as well as Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores, for 28-day mortality were analyzed using receiver operating characteristic curves. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors for 28-day mortality in the sepsis-associated AKI subgroup.Results
Overall, plasma presepsin showed a lower area under the curve value (0.636; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.491-0.781) than the APACHE II (0.663; 95% CI, 0.521-0.804) and SOFA (0.731; 95% CI, 0.599-0.863) scores did. However, in sepsis-associated AKI, the area under the curve increased to 0.799 (95% CI, 0.653-0.946), which was higher than that of the APACHE II (0.638; 95% CI, 0.450-0.826) and SOFA (0.697; 95% CI, 0.519-0.875) scores. In the multivariate Cox regression analysis, a high presepsin level was an independent risk factor for 28-day mortality in sepsis-associated AKI (hazard ratio, 3.437; p = 0.03).Conclusion
Presepsin is a potential prognostic marker in patients with sepsis-associated AKI requiring CKRT.
