Background: Neonates with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) receiving therapeutic hypothermia are at high risk of acute kidney injury (AKI). Methods: We performed a two-site prospective observational study from 2018 to 2019 to evaluate the utility of renal near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in detecting AKI in 38 neonates with HIE receiving therapeutic hypothermia. AKI was defined by a delayed rate of serum creatinine decline (< 33% on day 3 of life, < 40% on day 5, and < 46% on day 7). Renal saturation (Rsat) and systemic oxygen saturation (SpO2) were continuously measured for the first 96 h of life (HOL). Renal fractional tissue oxygen extraction (RFTOE) was calculated as (SpO2 − Rsat)/(SpO2). Using renal NIRS, urine biomarkers, and perinatal factors, logistic regression was performed to develop a model that predicted AKI. Results: AKI occurred in 20 of 38 neonates (53%). During the first 96 HOL, Rsat was higher, and RFTOE was lower in the AKI group vs. the no AKI group (P < 0.001). Rsat > 70% had a fair predictive performance for AKI at 48–84 HOL (AUC 0.71–0.79). RFTOE ≤ 25 had a good predictive performance for AKI at 42–66 HOL (AUC 0.8–0.83). The final statistical model with the best fit to predict AKI (AUC = 0.88) included RFTOE at 48 HOL (P = 0.012) and pH of the infants' first postnatal blood gas (P = 0.025). Conclusions: Lower RFTOE on renal NIRS and pH on infant first blood gas may be early predictors for AKI in neonates with HIE receiving therapeutic hypothermia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
