Abstract
Introduction: The aim of this was to evaluate the function of vascular biomarkers to predict the need for hemodialysis in critically ill patients with COVID-19.
Methods: This is a prospective study with 58 critically ill patients due to COVID-19 infection. Laboratory tests in general and vascular biomarkers, such as VCAM-1, syndecan-1, angiopoietin-1, and angiopoietin-2, were quantified on intensive care unit (ICU) admission.
Results: There was a 40% death rate. VCAM and Ang-2/Ang-1 ratio on ICU admission were associated with the need for hemodialysis. Vascular biomarkers (VCAM-1, syndecan-1, angiopoietin-2/angiopoietin-1 ratio) were predictors of death and their cutoff values were useful to stratify patients with a worse prognosis. In the multivariate cox regression analysis with adjusted models, VCAM-1 (OR 1.13 [CI 95%: 1.01-1.27]; p = 0.034) and Ang-2/Ang-1 ratio (OR 4.87 [CI 95%: 1.732-13.719]; p = 0.003) were associated with the need for dialysis.
Conclusion: Vascular biomarkers, mostly VCAM-1 and Ang-2/Ang-1 ratio, showed better efficiency to predict the need for hemodialysis in critically ill COVID-19 patients.
期刊介绍:
This journal comprises both clinical and basic studies at the interface of nephrology, hypertension and cardiovascular research. The topics to be covered include the structural organization and biochemistry of the normal and diseased kidney, the molecular biology of transporters, the physiology and pathophysiology of glomerular filtration and tubular transport, endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cell function and blood pressure control, as well as water, electrolyte and mineral metabolism. Also discussed are the (patho)physiology and (patho) biochemistry of renal hormones, the molecular biology, genetics and clinical course of renal disease and hypertension, the renal elimination, action and clinical use of drugs, as well as dialysis and transplantation. Featuring peer-reviewed original papers, editorials translating basic science into patient-oriented research and disease, in depth reviews, and regular special topic sections, ''Kidney & Blood Pressure Research'' is an important source of information for researchers in nephrology and cardiovascular medicine.
