Biomarkers of cell cycle arrest, microcirculation dysfunction, and inflammation in the prediction of SA-AKI.

ABSTRACT: Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) is a severe complication in critically ill patients, with a complex pathogenesis involving in cell cycle arrest, microcirculatory dysfunction, and inflammation. Current diagnostic strategies remain suboptimal. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate pathophysiology-based biomarkers and develop an improved predictive model for SA-AKI. The prospective observational study was conducted, enrolling 26 healthy individuals and 96 sepsis patients from Peking University Third Hospital. Clinical and laboratory data were collected, and patients were monitored for AKI development within 72 h. Further, sepsis patients were categorized into SA-noAKI (n = 46) and SA-AKI (n = 50) groups. Novel biomarkers, including tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIM
