Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is strongly associated with mortality independently of its cause. The kidney contributes to up to 40% of systemic glucose production by gluconeogenesis during fasting and stress conditions. Whether kidney gluconeogenesis is impaired during AKI and how this might influence systemic metabolism remains unknown. Here we show that glucose production and lactate clearance are impaired during human and experimental AKI using renal arteriovenous catheterization in patients, lactate tolerance test in mice and glucose isotope labelling in rats. Single-cell transcriptomics reveal that gluconeogenesis is impaired in proximal tubule cells during AKI. In a retrospective cohort of critically ill patients, we demonstrate that altered glucose metabolism during AKI is a major determinant of systemic glucose and lactate levels and is strongly associated with mortality. Thiamine supplementation increases lactate clearance without modifying renal function in mice with AKI, enhances glucose production by renal tubular cells ex vivo, and is associated with reduced mortality and improvement of the metabolic pattern in a retrospective cohort of critically ill patients with AKI. This study highlights an unappreciated systemic role of renal glucose and lactate metabolism in stress conditions, delineates general mechanisms of AKI-associated mortality and introduces a potential intervention targeting metabolism for a highly prevalent clinical condition with limited therapeutic options

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common following congenital cardiac surgery withcardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). To date, no prophylactic intervention has proved to beuseful for the prevention of postoperative AKI. When AKI occurs, treatment is mainlysupportive and, when severe, requires renal replacement therapy (RRT). Several reportshave shown better outcome with early RRT in adults with multiorgan failure. No such data isavailable in children undergoing cardiac surgery, and criteria for RRT vary among centres.The definition of AKI is a reduction in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and the diagnosis isbased on an increase in serum creatinine (sCr) and a reduction in urine output; these arefunctional criteria, translating the consequences of glomerular injury. However, it iscommonly admitted that the first pathophysiologic finding in AKI following cardiac surgery istubular injury. Besides, the functional criteria are late, are not specific, and may delay thediagnosis of AKI. Novel AKI biomarkers, specific of tubular injury are available nowadays,with urine Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocaline (uNGAL) being the most popular –they may allow for an early diagnosis of AKI.Objectifs. The aim of this work was: (i) explore associations between the delay to RRT, earlyand mid-term outcome in patients younger than 1 year of age who develop AKI followingcardiac surgery; (ii) assess the accuracy of early sCr variations and (iii) of uNGAL for severeAKI in two similar populations aged < 1 year.Methods. A single centre retrospective cohort of patients aged < 1 year undergoing surgeryover 10 years was used to asses the association between the delay to RRT et short and midtermsurvival. Inverse probability of treatment weighting was used to reduce bias due tochanges in practices that occurred during the long study period. A second retrospectivecohort of patients aged < 1 year undergoing surgery over 3 ½ years was used to asses theaccuracy of early sCr variations for the diagnosis of severe AKI. Finally, a third prospectivecohort of patients aged < 1 year undergoing surgery over 18 month was used to asses theaccuracy of uNGAL for the diagnosis of severe AKI. The study of both sCr and uNGAL useda similar methodology: first clustering of all individual trajectories of variation, enablingassessment of the association with a composite outcome (need for RRT and/or death) andidentification of the « normally expected » postoperative evolution of both sCr an uNGAL,associated with the best outcome; second, use of ROC curves and reclassification tables toassess the accuracy of each biomarker for the diagnosis of AKI.Results. Early RRT, initiated on the day of surgery or on day 1 following surgery, wasassociated with a 45% increase in 30-days and 90-days survival. Early sCr variation, within 2days of surgery, had a good specificity but was lacking sensitivity and discrimination for thediagnosis of severe AKI; the « expected » sCr evolution was a persistent 25% postoperativereduction relative to baseline. uNGAL had good discrimination and predictive ability for thecomposite outcome; uNGAL concentration increased within 2 hours of surgery, andremained high in patients with the composite outcome.Discussion and conclusions. If early RRT improves outcome in patients aged < 1 yearswith AKI following cardiac surgery, then it becomes important to perform an early diagnosisof severe AKI. To date, diagnosis of AKI is based on early sCr variations, but such variationslack sensitivity and discrimination for the diagnosis of severe AK. On the other hand, theincrease in uNGAL within hours of surgery has excellent accuracy for the diagnosis of severeAKI, making uNGAL a promising AKI biomarker in patients aged < 1 year undergoing cardiacsurgery with cardiopulmonary bypass

Pancreatic islet transplantation is an innovative cellular therapy for the management of diabetes in patients with type 1 diabetes. Currently, there are few studies that address the prognostic impact of islet transplantation in patients with type 1 diabetes who have received a kidney transplant or the determinants of transplantation success in this population. Furthermore, the definition of diabetes is evolving, with the dichotomy between type 1 and type 2 diabetes fading in favor of diabetes classifications based on the patient's clinical and biological phenotype. Pancreatic islet transplantation could potentially be expanded to other profiles of patients with diabetes and a kidney transplant, especially if there's evidence of insulin secretion deficiency. Thus, the objective of this thesis is to determine the role of pancreatic islet transplantation in patients with diabetes and a kidney transplant.In the first section, we present the results of a nationwide cohort study assessing the effect of pancreatic islet transplantation following kidney transplantation compared to insulin alone in patients with type 1 diabetes. Islet-after-kidney recipients were matched to control patients using a time-dependent propensity score. After matching, pancreatic islet transplantation is associated with a reduction in the combined risk of death and return to dialysis, as well as the isolated risk of death. This study emphasizes the importance of considering islet transplantation as a full-fledged therapeutic alternative, especially in regions where it is not reimbursed or available.The second section explores the determinants of islet loss of functionality, in particular the repercussions of alloimmunity. The results of a single-center study suggest that preformed DSA and early de novo DSA have little impact on islet transplantation outcomes, but late de novo DSA is temporally associated with impaired metabolic results. No cases of cross-sensitization between pancreatic islets and the underlying kidney in recipients were described, neither in the study nor in the literature.The last section focuses on evaluating the insulin profile in patients with type 2 diabetes and a kidney transplant, through the calculation of HOMA-2 scores, to extract the impact of insulin secretion. Analysis of a single-center retrospective cohort shows an association between insulin resistance evaluated by HOMA-2 and the risk of allograft loss, while insulin secretion was only associated with metabolic balance. However, given the relationship between metabolic balance and the likelihood of death and graft loss in kidney transplant patients with diabetes, pancreatic islet transplantation could be part of the therapeutic arsenal in a personalized medicine approach for these patients.In conclusion, this thesis advocates for personalized diabetes medicine in kidney transplant patients, promoting the integration of pancreatic islet transplantation as a key component in the therapeutic strategy for these individuals

A biomarker is a biological parameter absent or expressed at a basal Ievel in physiological situation, and present or overexpressed in the event ofalteration of the corresponding tissue function. The dosage ofsome biomarkers makes it possible to follow or even anticipate the occurrence of a postoperative complication, and allows a rapid and adapted management ofthis complication. Patients with heart surgery are exposed to several types of complications. The most important are residual myocardial ischemia and perioperative infarction, respiratory complications, renal insufficiency and sternal wound infections. Each c these complications increases post-operative morbidity and mortality. The determination of the cardiac TROPONINE I has shown its interest in the detection ofresidual myocardial ischemia and the diagnosis ofperioperative infarction. We tested the cardiac Troponin I ratio at 12 h / cardiac Troponin I at 6 h in the detection ofpost-operative residual myocardial ischemia. We have demonstrated that a ratio oftroponin Hl2 / H6> 1.3 makes it possible to detect the lesions of the grafts after coronary bypass surgery. Their early detection makes it possible to prevent the pejorative evolution of the grafts. NEUTROPHIL GELATINASE-ASSOCIATED LIPOCALIN (NGAL), is a marker ofrenal failure never tested in patients with chronic renal failure in preoperative cardiac surgery. We have demonstrated that plasma NGAL is a robust marker for the development of acute renal failure in postoperative cardiac surgery in patients with pre-operative renal failure. An NGAL level at the 6th hour above 155ng / ml is an independent risk factor for the occurrence of postoperative acute renal failure. ENDOCAN is a marker ofpulmonary involvement, which has never been tested in cardiac surgery. We propose to: 1) Determine the kinetics ofEndocan in the inflammatory context of the CEC, 2) Assess the Iink between the decrease in circulating endocan and the risk ofprogress towards respiratory failure ofseptic origin or Inflammatory, 3) Compare endocan kinetics with other markers of inflammation and infection: Protein C Reactive (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT), and 4) Assess the prognostic value of the rate of inflammation, Endocan in the occurrence ofpostoperative respiratory deaths. We conducted a pilot study that found that 6 hours after the procedure, patients with postoperative pulmonary infection had significantly higher levels ofEndocan than patients without pulmonary infection. This pilot study showed a potential interest in designing a specific study, which was submitted for publication. We performed a prospective study, which included 155 patients. The results confirm the results of the pilot study, namely that the preoperative and 6-hour Endocan is predictive ofpostoperative pulmonary involvement

Ischemic cardiac diseases are the most frequent and deleterious pathologies leading to important cardiovascular-related mortality worldwide. One of the alternative therapies consists to treat these patients using cardiac surgery. Cardiopulmonary bypass was developed to greatly improve this surgical procedure. However, some adverse effects can occur during cardiac surgery associated with cardiopulmonary bypass due to the inflammatory response. This phenomenon is the result of various mechanisms including oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokines which lead to multi-organ failure and then to myocardial and renal injuries occurring during the peri- and post-operative periods.The first part of this work was designed to evaluate in the context of cardiac surgery the kinetics of plasma GDF-15 levels, an oxidative stress and inflammation related cytokine. Our prospective study demonstrated for the first time the kinetic increase in plasma GDF-15 levels which were associated to postoperative cardiac and renal injuries.Currently, operative risk evaluation is based on score calculation including clinical criteria. These risk scores present some limitations. Concerning other cardiac patients out of surgical fields, the risk assessment is defined using clinical parameters and biomarkers evaluation (cardiac troponin, BNP, Nt-proBNP). Thus, we aimed to determine whether pre-operative GDF-15 as plasma biomarker could help to identify patients at high risk of renal injuries. We found that patients with the highest pre-operative plasma GDF-15 levels are at risk for post-operative acute kidney injury

Contexte : Chaque année, plus de 2 millions de personnes subissent une chirurgie cardiaque, dont 15 000 Canadiens (1). L’insuffisance rénale aiguë demeure une complication fréquente chez les patients subissant une chirurgie cardiaque atteignant une incidence jusqu’à 39 % dans la période postopératoire (2). Cette complication est associée à une augmentation du risque de mortalité à court et long termes. Plusieurs mécanismes peuvent engendrer l’insuffisance rénale aiguë dans la période peropératoire, ce qui complexifie la prévention et le traitement. Parmi ceux-ci, divers facteurs peuvent engendrer une augmentation des pressions veineuses menant à un état de congestion systémique qui affecte la fonction des reins ainsi que celle des autres organes vitaux. La détection de la congestion au chevet des patients durant la période intraopératoire et postopératoire pourrait permettre d’identifier les individus à risque de développer des complications de nature congestive telles que l’insuffisance rénale aiguë ainsi que de mettre en place des stratégies de prévention et de traitement. L’échographie Doppler est une technologie non invasive qui permet d’évaluer la vélocité du sang dans le réseau veineux. La diminution de la compliance veineuse entraine l’apparition d’altérations du flot veineux de la veine porte et des veines intrarénales. Les objectifs des travaux présentés dans cette thèse étaient les suivants : déterminer la prévalence ainsi que les facteurs prédicteurs de l’apparition de ces altérations durant la période peropératoire; déterminer si la détection de ces altérations est en mesure de prédire l’apparition d’insuffisance rénale aiguë dans la période postopératoire; et déterminer quelle est la signification clinique de l’apparition de ces signes dans la période postopératoire immédiate. Résultats principaux : Les travaux contenus dans cette thèse comportent trois études de cohorte comprenant 1497 examens échographiques chez 362 patients. La présence d’altération du flot veineux a été observée chez une proportion substantielle des patients durant la période post-opératoire, allant de 10.8% à 24.3% selon le site intérrogé et le moment où l’examen est effectué. Nous avons observé des associations entre les altérations du flot veineux et les autres marqueurs de congestion incluant la pression veineuse centrale, la mesure du NT-pro-BNP et la balance liquidienne. De plus, nous avons observé que la pulsatilité du flot portal est corrélée aux altérations du signal Doppler dans les veines intrarénales. Grâce à des examens répétées effectuées dans une cohorte de 145 patients, nous avons observé que la pulsatilité du flot portal et la présence d’un profil compatible avec une anomalie sévère du flot intrarénal veineux étaient associées indépendamment avec la survenue subséquente d’insuffisance rénale aiguë durant la période postopératoire. Une réanalyse de ces données nous a permis de constater qu’un système de gradation combinant la présence des altérations du flot veineux à plusieurs sites, incluant les veines hépatiques, la veine porte et les veines intrarénales, au moment de l’admission aux soins intensifs permet d’indentifier les patients qui développeront une insuffisance rénale aiguë avec une spécificité élevée. Conclusions : Dans le contexte de la chirurgie cardiaque, l’échographie Doppler peut être utilisée au chevet afin d’indentifier des altérations du flot veineux périphérique suggestives d’un phénomène de congestion et d’anticiper les complications de nature congestive tel que l’insuffisance rénale aiguë.

Background: Vascular calcifications (VCs) are observed in 60% of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and are thought to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. The purpose of this study was to identify the risk factors associated with VCs preventing the eligibility for a kidney transplant (KTx). Methods: We conducted a case control study in a cohort of 1472 adults evaluated for KTx from 1992 to 2009. Cases were defined as patients who were refused for KTx because of severe VCs and controls as patients who were accepted for KTx. Results: The study included 80 cases and 80 controls. In multivariate models, the strongest risk factors for VCs preventing eligibility for KTx were diabetes (adjusted Odds Ratio (OR): 5.55 (1.98 - 15.59)), age (OR: 1.14 (1.09 – 1.2)), smoking (OR: 9.51 (2.55 – 35.51)) and dialysis (OR: 6.83 (2.33 – 20.05)). Although significant in univariate analyses, the phosphocalcic product (CaxP) was not a significant predictor in multivariate models. Conclusion: This study suggests that the CaxP could be a marker of prolonged ESRD rather than a risk factor of VCs preventing eligibility for KTx and emphasizes the importance of early referral for transplantation and aggressive smoking cessation management for all patients with ESRD.

Background: acute kidney injury (AKI) has important mortality and morbidity complications. Few studies have looked at predictors of acute renal failure in a trauma patient population. Objectives: we sought to identify factors associated with AKI that can be assessed in the early hospital stay of trauma patients. We also specifically assessed if the administration of radiological contrast was a predictor of AKI. Methods: we conducted a nested case-control study from the trauma registry of an urban Level I trauma center which includes data on more than 6 000 subjects. The cases consisted of 49 patients with a diagnosis of AKI by their treating physician in the first 7 days following their trauma between 2002 and 2007 (March 2007). The controls were randomly selected for a 1:2 case to control ratio. Data were retrieved from the prospective trauma registry database. Additional data were also obtained via the hospital laboratory and radiology databases. Finally, a structured chart review was conducted to obtain the remaining information. Univariate analyses were conducted. Elements with a significance level of <0.1 were included in a multivariate logistic regression model. Results: predictors identified in the univariate analysis were: the first creatinine value obtained (p<0,001), hemodynamic instability (p<0,001), history of coronary artery disease (p=0,007), history of chronic renal insufficiency as per physician’s diagnosis in the chart (p=0,009), surgery in the 48 hours following the trauma (p=0,053), and, injection of contrast in the 48 hours following the trauma (p=0,077). In the final multivariate model, two factors were statistically significant. One factor was the first creatinine value p<0,001, OR 6,17 CI95 % (2,81 – 13,53) for each increase of creatinine by 0,5mg/dL. The other factor was the presence of hemodynamic instability p<0,001 OR 11,61 CI95 % (3,71 – 36,29). Conclusion: easily obtained information in the emergency department can aid in predicting the risk of AKI in a trauma population. Early administration of radiological contrast was not an independant predictor of AKI in this population.

La sternotomie médiane est l’approche classique pour la chirurgie de la valve mitrale. Elle permet une exposition optimale, mais est associée à un traumatisme chirurgical important, car elle requiert la séparation de l’os sternal. Le présent mémoire porte sur une solution alternative à la sternotomie dans le contexte de la chirurgie mitrale : la chirurgie minimalement invasive (CMI) par minithoracotomie antérolatérale. Trois études ont été réalisées dans le cadre de ce travail. Dans un premier temps, une étude de cohorte regroupant 200 patients consécutifs a permis d’évaluer le taux de succès des réparations mitrales réalisées par minithoracotomie et d’évaluer la durabilité de ces réparations à moyen terme. Par la suite, une étude comparative a été réalisée afin d’évaluer deux méthodes de clampage aortique pour la CMI, soit l’occlusion endovasculaire avec ballon et l’occlusion transthoracique. Enfin, une étude avec analyse par score de propension (propensity score) a permis de comparer la CMI à la sternotomie en ce qui a trait à une complication fréquente en chirurgie cardiaque, l’insuffisance rénale aiguë. La première étude a permis de conclure que la CMI peut être réalisée avec un taux de réparation quasi parfait, et ce malgré la courbe d’apprentissage associée à la technique minimalement invasive. Ces réparations semblent être durables, tel que démontré par une survie sans réopération de 98.3 ± 1.2% à 5 ans. La seconde étude a permis de démontrer que l’occlusion transthoracique est plus fiable que l’occlusion endoaortique et qu’elle est associée à des temps opératoires diminués et à une plus faible incidence de complications procédurales. Enfin, la troisième étude a démontré une association significative entre la CMI et une diminution du risque d’insuffisance rénale aiguë. En conclusion, la minithoracotomie antérolatérale est une excellente alternative à la sternotomie médiane. Tout en diminuant le traumatisme chirurgical, cette approche ne compromet pas la qualité de l’acte chirurgical et présente des bénéfices cliniques.
Median sternotomy is the classic approach for mitral valve surgery. This technique allows optimal exposure but is considered invasive as it requires section of the sternal bone. This thesis discusses an alternative sternotomy : minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MIMVS) through a right anterolateral minithoracotomy. Three studies were conducted as part of this work. First, a cohort study involving 200 consecutive patients was used to evaluate the success rate of mitral valve repairs performed by minithoracotomy and assess the midterm durability of these repairs. Second, a comparative study was conducted to evaluate two methods of aortic clamping for MIMVS, namely the endovascular balloon occlusion technique and the transthoracic occlusion approach. Finally, a propensity score analysis study was performed to compare MIMVS and sternotomy with respect to a common complication following cardiac surgery : acute renal failure. The first study demonstrated that MIMVS can be performed with a near perfect repair rate, despite the learning curve associated with the minimally invasive technique. These repairs appear to be durable, as evidenced by a freedom from reoperation rate of 98.3 ± 1.2% at 5 years. The second study demonstrated that transthoracic clamping is more reliable than endoaortic occlusion and is associated with shorter operative times and a lower incidence of procedural complications. Finally, the third study found a significant association between MIMVS and a decreased risk of postoperative acute renal failure. In conclusion, the anterolateral minithoracotomy appraoch is an excellent alternative to median sternotomy. While decreasing surgical trauma, this approach does not compromise the quality of surgery and is associated with important clinical benefits.

Venous congestion has been shown to play a major role in worsening renal function in acute decompensated heart failure, and recent data have challenged the assumption that end-organ dysfunction was driven by other hemodynamic alterations in patients with heart failure. Decongestion is thus considered as a major therapeutic goal in the management of patients with acute heart failure. As such, real-time assessment of patient’s fluid status may allow for a better management of patients with heart failure, enabling for a personalized management. The aim of this work is to explore the deleterious effect of venous congestion in patient with heart failure, particularly in terms of end-organ dysfunction. We also aimed to characterize the role of extra cardiac ultrasound for the assessment of the volume status in patients with heart failure.

Introduction: Mortality rate associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) in pediatric intensive care units (PICU) exceeds 50%. Prior studies on renal replacement therapy (RRT) have highlighted different mortality risk factors including the presence of a multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and fluid overload ≥ 10 to 20% before starting RRT. The aim of this study was to identify most important risk factors of 28-day mortality in patients with AKI at RRT initiation in PICU. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study in a tertiary care pediatric center. All critically ill children who underwent acute continuous RRT or intermittent hemodialysis for AKI between January 1998 and December 2014 were included. A case report form was developed and specific risk factors were identified by a panel of four pediatric intensivists and two nephrologists. Risk factors analysis was made using logistic regression in SPSS and SAS software. Results: Ninety patients were included. The median age was 9 [2-14] years. The most common indication for RRT initiation was fluid overload (FO) (64.2%). The median PICU length of stay was 18.5 [8.0-31.0] days. Forty of the 90 patients (44.4%) died within 28 days after RRT initiation and forty-five (50.0%) died before PICU discharge. In a multivariate logistic regression analysis, a PELOD score ≥ 20 (OR 4.66; 95%CI 1.68-12.92) and percentage of FO ≥ 15% (OR 9.31; 95%CI 2.16-40.11) at RRT initiation were independently associated with mortality. Conclusion: This study suggests that fluid overload and severity of MODS measured by PELOD score are two risk factors of 28-day mortality in PICU patients on RRT.
