VWF/ADAMTS13 Ratio As a Potential Predictive Biomarker for Acute Kidney Injury Onset in Cirrhosis.
Digestive diseases and sciences(2024)
Abstract
We investigated the von Willebrand factor to ADAMTS13 ratio (von Willebrand factor [VWF]:Ag/ADAMTS13:AC) as a potential biomarker for the outcomes of acute kidney injury (AKI) in liver cirrhosis (LC). This retrospective cross-sectional study included patients with LC who developed AKI (AKI group: n = 91) and patients with LC who did not develop AKI [non-AKI (NAKI) group, n = 91] as a control group. Plasma levels of the von Willebrand factor antigen (Ag) and ADAMTS13 activity (AC) were measured in patients with AKI or NAKI. Moreover, risk factors for onset of AKI, AKI-associated 90-day mortality, and poor AKI treatment response were identified. The AKI group had a significantly higher VWF:Ag/ADAMTS13:AC than the NAKI group. Values of VWF:Ag/ADAMTS13:AC ≥ 5.7 were identified as risk factors for AKI onset in patients with LC (odds ratio [OR] 2.56; 95
