PG - F1104-11 LID - 10.1152/ajprenal.00543.2011 [doi] AB - Acute kidney injury frequently occurs in the critically ill and often progresses into multiorgan dysfunction syndrome, resulting in high mortality. We previously showed that nephrectomized mice had increased interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha that directly contributed to systemic inflammation and hepatic injury. In this study, we examined whether patients undergoing laparoscopic donor nephrectomy have increased postoperative cytokine levels with injury to the liver and whether the remaining kidney sustains injury. Serial serum and urine samples were collected from 32 patients undergoing laparoscopic donor nephrectomy and 17 patients undergoing nonrenal laparoscopic surgery. Serum IL-6, IL-18, TNF-alpha and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) (markers of systemic inflammation) and urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), MCP-1, and IL-18 (markers of acute kidney injury) were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. We also analyzed serum creatinine, aspartate transaminase (AST), and alanine transaminase to assess liver injury. Patients who underwent donor nephrectomy not only demonstrated increased serum creatinine but also had significant increases in serum IL-6, MCP-1, and AST. Serum TNF-alpha also trended upward in donor nephrectomy patients. Finally, the donor nephrectomy group showed increased urinary NGAL but not KIM-1 at 24 h. Taken together, our findings of increased serum IL-6, MCP-1, and AST after donor nephrectomy suggest that an acute reduction of kidney function induces systemic inflammation and may have distant effects on the liver. Further studies are needed to correlate increased urinary NGAL after donor nephrectomy both as a potential marker for renal tubular stress and/or hypertrophy in the contralateral kidney.
