In decompensated heart failure (HF), both acute kidney injury (AKI) and high Galectina-3 (Gal-3) levels have been associated with poorer outcomes. Plasma Gal-3 levels are affected by renal function; however, the potential role of Gal-3 as a predictor of AKI has not been established.
We measured Gal-3 concentrations at admission for 175 patients hospitalised for HF and recorded the onset of AKI according to the Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss and End-stage kidney disease (RIFLE) analytical criteria.
During hospitalisation, 44 patients (25.1%) developed AKI, although only 14 (8%) corresponded to more advanced stages. These 14 patients had significantly higher Gal-3 levels at admission, which remained a predictor of AKI after the multivariate adjustment by other predictors and by baseline renal function.
High Gal-3 levels at admission are associated with a higher risk of AKI during hospitalisation for decompensated HF.
在失代偿性心力衰竭(HF)中,急性肾损伤(AKI)和高半乳糖凝集素-3(Gal-3)水平均与较差的预后相关。血浆Gal-3水平受肾功能影响;然而,Gal-3作为AKI预测指标的潜在作用尚未确立。
我们对175例因HF住院的患者入院时的Gal-3浓度进行了测量,并根据风险、损伤、衰竭、丧失和终末期肾病(RIFLE)分析标准记录了AKI的发生情况。
住院期间,44例患者(25.1%)发生了AKI,尽管只有14例(8%)处于更晚期阶段。这14例患者入院时的Gal-3水平显著更高,在经其他预测指标和基线肾功能进行多变量调整后,Gal-3仍然是AKI的一个预测指标。
入院时高Gal-3水平与失代偿性HF住院期间发生AKI的较高风险相关。
