Urine TIMP2.IGFBP7 Reflects Kidney Injury After Moderate Volume Paracentesis in Patients With Ascites: A Randomized Control Study

ABSTRACT Background Urinary biomarkers may predict acute kidney injury (AKI) in cirrhosis with ascites in a moderate volume paracentesis setting. Objective The study aimed to assess the risk and consequence of AKI and its progression in patients with decompensated cirrhosis undergoing paracentesis u...

description ABSTRACT Background Urinary biomarkers may predict acute kidney injury (AKI) in cirrhosis with ascites in a moderate volume paracentesis setting. Objective The study aimed to assess the risk and consequence of AKI and its progression in patients with decompensated cirrhosis undergoing paracentesis using a urine test measuring tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases‐2 (TIMP2) and insulin‐like growth factor‐binding protein 7 (IGFBP7). Methods A randomized, controlled trial was performed. All outpatients with decompensated cirrhosis with ascites and diuretic complications were enrolled and randomized into 3 and 5 L paracentesis groups. Serial urine samples were analyzed for TIMP2. IGFBP7 concentration before and after paracentesis. Results A total of 90 patients with decompensated cirrhosis were consecutively enrolled during the study period. After screening, 29 patients were enrolled in the 3‐L paracentesis group, and 25 patients were enrolled in the 5‐L paracentesis group. The mean of the MELD score was 8 ± 1.2. Urine TIMP2.IGFBP7 > 2, rising urine TIMP2, and rising urine TIMP2/urine Cr were shown in patients within the 5‐L group for 48% (p = 0.015), 32% (p = 0.049), and 76% (p = 0.010) respectively, indicating a higher incidence of renal tubular injury markers in this group. Urine TIMP2.IGFBP7/1000 > 2 was statistically significant to predict a hemodynamic event (p = 0.002). Conclusion In cirrhotic patients with ascites undergoing paracentesis, a 5‐L paracentesis volume was associated with a higher incidence of renal tubular injury markers. Trail Registration: The national clinical registration number was TCTR20191116003.
