Urine TIMP2 × IGFBP7 increases 24 hours before severe AKI
Critical Care volume 18, Article number: P380 (2014)
Introduction
We recently reported a 728-patient multicenter study (Sapphire) where a biomarker combination of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) were validated for risk stratification for moderate or severe acute kidney injury (AKI) KDIGO stage 2 and 3 [1].
Methods
We subsequently selected two clinical cutoff values for the TIMP2 × IGFBP7 combination from the Sapphire dataset, one (0.3) with high sensitivity (89%) (specificity = 50%) and one (2.0) with high specificity (95%) (sensitivity = 42%) for the development of AKI KDIGO stage 2 and 3 within 12 hours of study enrolment. We examined the timing of change in TIMP2 × IGFBP7 relative to change in creatinine using the sign test.
Results
TIMP2 × IGFBP7 results were available for 178 patients who developed AKI stage 2 or 3. The median TIMP2 × IGFBP7 result was significantly greater than the cutoff value of 0.3 from 24 hours before to 24 hours after AKI 2 or 3 (P < 0.01) (Figure 1). Conversely, median serum creatinine was not different from baseline prior to development of AKI 2 or 3.
Conclusion
The TIMP2 × IGFBP7 biomarker combination identifies patients who ultimately develop moderate or severe AKI 24 hours earlier than serum creatinine.
