Interest of Urinary Oxygen Partial Pressure (PO2u) in Predicting the Onset or Recovery of Acute Renal Failure During Shock States - OXYpi Study

Shock state is defined as an acute, life-threatening, circulatory failure with impaired tissue oxygenation (or tissue hypoxia). The cause of the shock state can be septic, anaphylactic, hypovolemic or cardiogenic. Its management is based on etiological treatment and replacement of organ failures. Acute kidney injury (AKI) may be lead by renal hypoxia. Acute kidney injury is frequent in patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) and associated with an increased mortality. Serum creatinine is the reference biological marker in the diagnosis of Acute kidney injury. However, its use is limited by a delayed increase in plasma creatinine level in relation to the causal renal agression, at a time when renal tissue damage may already be established. Thus, the identification of a biological marker making it possible to estimate renal hypoxia continuously during a shock could allow us to identify early a situation at risk of evolving into Acute kidney injury. The renal medulla is vulnerable to tissue hypoxia with a risk of acute tubular necrosis. As in situ measurement of mPO2 is not possible in current practice in humans, several studies have shown a positive correlation between variations in mPO2/uPO2 and occurence of Acute kidney injury. In humans, studies have shown a significant association between the reduction in uPO2 in cardiac surgeries and the occurrence of postoperative Acute kidney injury. The aim of the study is to describe the association between uPO2 values and the …
