Abstract
Abstract: Objective: The combination of catecholamine-resistant vasodilatory shock and acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. The role of angiotensin II (ANGII) in this setting is unclear. Methods: We conducted a post hoc analysis of the Angiotensin II for the Treatment of High-Output Shock (ATHOS) 3 trial which assessed the effect of Intravenous ANG II or placebo in patients with refractory vasodilatory shock in 75 intensive care units across nine countries in North America, Australasia, and Europe. We included patients with all stages AKI at initiation of ANG II or placebo and assessed 28-day mortality as primary outcome. We studied mean arterial pressure (MAP) response and days alive and free from renal replacement therapy (RRT) up to day 7 as secondary outcome. Results: Of 321 ATHOS-3 patients, 203 (63%) had AKI at randomization, with stage 3 AKI being dominant (67%). Median age was 63 years and median APACHE II score was 30. By day 28, overall, 118 (58%) of patients had died (53% with ANGII vs. 63% with placebo, hazard ratio = 0.75, 95% CI [0.52-1.08], P = 0.121). Among AKI stage 3 patients, however, ANGII was associated with significantly lower mortality (48% vs. 67%, hazard ratio = 0.57, 95% CI [0.36-0.91], P = 0.024). Additionally, in this subgroup, compared with placebo, patients receiving ANGII were more likely to achieve a MAP response (P < 0.001) and had more days alive and free from RRT (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Compared with placebo, in patients with catecholamine-resistant vasodilatory shock and stage 3 AKI, ANGII is associated with lower 28-day, greater likelihood of MAP response, and more days alive and free from RRT. These findings support the conduct of future ANGII trials in patients with stage 3 AKI.
期刊介绍:
SHOCK®: Injury, Inflammation, and Sepsis: Laboratory and Clinical Approaches includes studies of novel therapeutic approaches, such as immunomodulation, gene therapy, nutrition, and others. The mission of the Journal is to foster and promote multidisciplinary studies, both experimental and clinical in nature, that critically examine the etiology, mechanisms and novel therapeutics of shock-related pathophysiological conditions. Its purpose is to excel as a vehicle for timely publication in the areas of basic and clinical studies of shock, trauma, sepsis, inflammation, ischemia, and related pathobiological states, with particular emphasis on the biologic mechanisms that determine the response to such injury. Making such information available will ultimately facilitate improved care of the traumatized or septic individual.
