Fig. 33.1 Main diuretics and their site of action with associated sodium reabsorption potency
Loop Diuretics
Loop diuretics are undoubtedly the most commonly prescribed diuretics in the ICU [1]. They inhibit the sodium potassium chloride cotransporter located in the apical membrane of epithelial cells of the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle. Since this cotransporter is responsible for the reabsorption of 25% of the ltered sodium, loop diuretics are extremely powerful. Administered orally, their bioavailability is highly variable, from 50% (furosemide) to 80% (torasemide). Their half-life is 2 h, and their peak of action occurs, respectively, within 30–60 min and 60–120 min after intravenous and oral administrations. The main adverse effects of loop diuretics include ototoxicity in case of rapid administration (>4 mg/min) and electrolyte disturbances (hypernatremia, metabolic alkalosis, hypokalemia, hypochloremia, and hypomagnesemia) as a direct consequence of their mechanisms of action [3]. Most of these adverse effects can be avoided or minimized with adequate prescription and monitoring.
Other Classes of Diuretics
Thiazide diuretics include hydrochlorothiazide, chlortalidone, and metolazone. This class of drugs is commonly used in the outpatient setting, particularly for chronic hypertension, but less frequently in the ICU. They remain of importance, though, as they might be required in case of resistance to loop diuretics or to minimize their toxicity. Thiazides block the sodium chloride cotransporter located in epithelial cells of the proximal part of the distal convoluted tubule. Since this site accounts for only
33 AKI Management: Diuretics 391
5–10% of sodium reabsorption, thiazidesnatriuretic effect is low compared with loop diuretics. On the other hand, they are also associated with fewer side effects, particularly less hypokalemia.
Aldosterone antagonists such as spir epithelial cells located at the end of the distal convoluted tubule. This area of the nephron accounts for only 2% of the sodium reabsorption; hence, the natriuretic effect of this class of drug is very limited. However, they are mainly used for their potassium-sparing properties.
Acetazolamide inhibits carbonic anhydrase in epithelial cells of the proximal tubule. This enzyme facilitates sodium and bicarbonate reabsorption. Its inhibition leads to metabolic acidosis by increasing urinary excretion of sodium without chloride [4]. Acetazolamide is used in some situations of severe metabolic alkalosis but rarely for its diuretic properties only.

Indications for Diuretics in AKI

There are limited indications for diuretics in critically ill patients with AKI. The main and arguably only real indication is uid overload. Additional indications for diuretics include prognostication and correction of some electrolyte abnormalities (dyscalcemia, metabolic alkalosis).
Control of Fluid Overload
Diuretics represent the rst-line treatment in the management of acute pulmonary edema as well as edematous syndromes such as cardiorenal syndrome or ascites. They also play a key role in the management of uid overload in less acute situations. Fluid overload is largely associated with AKI and may represent either a cause or a consequence of the syndrome, both being intertwined in a vicious circle [5].
Indeed, in patients admitted to ICU, anuria and oliguria are likely to rapidly lead to uid overload. On the other hand, uid accumulation through an increase in central venous pressure and capillary leakage leads to renal congestion and intracapsular edema. The modication of intrarenal hemodynamics will lead to AKI with loss of function and tissue damage. The association between uid overload and AKI incidence and severity was demonstrated in a large prospective multicenter

study [ death [ limitation of uid overload have become a major objective in critical care. Recent studies have tested the feasibility and efcacy of protocols aiming to prevent or minimize uid overload. These protocols included diuretics alone or in combination with uid restrictive strategies. Studies conducted in sepsis or ARDS but also in general ICU populations have suggested the safety of such approaches.
It is also well established that uid overload increases the relative risk of

Unfortunately, most of them were insufciently powered to demonstrate effects on major outcomes [9, 10]. In non-hypovolemic patients with AKI, a uid restrictive strategy including diuretics was found to be safe and to reduce RRT requirements [11]. Very recently, a large retrospective study highlighted that a benecial effect of diuretics to limit AKI progression was observed only in the group of patients with high central venous pressure (12 mmHg) [ management of uid overload and reduction of kidney-related adverse events, diureticseffect on mortality remains unclear to this day, even among AKI and uid-overloaded patients [13, 14].
12]. However, despite their benet in the
AKI Prognostication
Furosemide is commonly used to assess tubular function in patients with AKI. Indeed, an adequate response (diuresis induction) following furosemide administra­tion implies the integrity of associated tubular functions: active secretion in the proximal convoluted tubule and sodium cotransport blockage in the loop of Henle. This practice has been standardized and is now referred to as the furosemide stress test (FST) [ (or 1.5 mg/kg in case of previous exposition to diuretics) of furosemide. It is considered positive if urine output in the next 2 h exceeds 200 ml. The FST has been evaluated in prospective trials to predict AKI progression, AKI recovery, or the need for RRT [16]. Currently, evaluations are ongoing to evaluate its ability to predict liberation from RRT (NCT05612490). Recent results suggest an improved performance if combined with biomarkers [17]. The FST could guide the manage­ment of patients with AKI, particularly regarding the decision to introduce RRT [18]. Of note, FST should not be performed in hypovolemic patients, and urine losses should be replaced if necessary.

Situations in Which Diuretics Are Not Indicated

AKI P
It has been suggested that diuretics could prevent AKI and provide nephroprotection by decreasing tubular cellsoxygen consumption and tubular obstruction through increased urinary ow [19, 20 studies were not conrmed in clinical studies. Indeed, the ability of loop diuretics to prevent AKI has been tested in different settings such as contrast administration, surgery, or experimental rhabdomyolysis. Almost all these trials failed to demon­strate an association between diuretic use and reduction of AKI. A recent meta­analysis evaluated the benets of furosemide after cardiac surgery and could not nd a reduction in AKI incidence [

21]. The few positive results come from small studies
33 AKI Management: Diuretics 393
suggesting a reduction in contrast-associated AKI with coadministration of uids and loop diuretics before contrast injection [22]. Although encouraging, these results still need to be conrmed in large multicenter trials. In the absence of benets, experts recommend against the use of diuretics for the sole purpose of AKI preven­tion, except for diuretic-responsive patients to control or avoid uid overload [23, 24].
AKI Recovery
Effects of loop diuretics on clinical outcomes of critically ill patients with AKI have been examined in a meta-analysis including 62 studies and 555 patients. Diuretics were not associated with improved mortality or renal recovery despite a shorter duration of RRT, a shorter time to decline in serum creatinine, and a greater increase in UO [ whether they are already weaned or still receiving RRT [ older studies suggested an association between diuretic use and mortality or absence of recovery in patients with AKI [28, 29]. These results raised concerns regarding potential nephrotoxicity associated with loop diuretics [30]. However, this hypoth­esis was not conrmed in further experimental studies [31]. Moreover, the associ­ation between diuretics and adverse outcomes observed previously was only signicant in the diuretic nonresponsive patients indicating that severity of AKI was a major confounding factor. Altogether, furosemide is safe for the kidney if properly used and avoided in hypovolemia. However, in the absence of uid overload, diuretics are unlikely to be benecial in AKI and may lead to electrolytic abnormalities [32]. Diuretics are therefore not recommended in overt AKI without uid overload, neither to accelerate recovery nor to limit disease progression.
25]. These results were consistent among AKI patients requiring RRT,

How to Use Diuretics in the ICU
Clinicians prescribing diuretics should be familiar with their pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. The complexity of critically ill patients and their altered body composition justies following practical guidelines. Figure 33.2 shows our proposed algorithm to guide diuretic use in critically ill patients with AKI.
Class and Dose Selection
As already mentioned, furosemide is the rst-line agent and the most potent natri­uretic agent. Other classes (thiazides, acetazolamide) might be used, alone or in combination, to mitigate complications associated with loop diuretics such as

hypokalemia or metabolic alkalosis (Fig. 33.2). Furosemide effect is dose­dependent, and its dose-response relation follows a sigmoid curve [33]. The starting dose must be above a certain threshold dose to induce natriuresis. This threshold depends on the patients background and comorbidities. It is usually recommended to start with a bolus of 20–40 mg (0.4 mg/kg) and to adjust subsequent doses according to urine output response. The maximum dose, or ceiling dose, is the dose above which no additional natriuretic effect is observed. The ceiling dose is 80 mg for most patients. Beyond this dose, daily natriuresi
s and diuresis might be increased by administering repeated doses to prolong diuretic effect over time. Diuretic resistance is frequent among patients receiving prolonged treatment with loop diuretics, particularly those with chronic kidney disease, heart failure, nephrotic syndrome, or cirrhosis. Different mechanisms may be involved including neurohor­monal activation (increase in renin-angiotensin, aldosterone, and antidiuretic hor­mones following vo
lume depletion), enhanced reabsorption in the proximal tubule, and distal convoluted tubule hypertrophy [32]. To maintain diuresis, these patients require higher doses of loop diuretics or diuretic combination, which was found to be safe and effective [33]. Thus, furosemide starting dose in patients with chronic kidney disease, heart failure, or nephrotic syndrome may be up to 40–80 mg, and ceiling dose may reach 200 mg.
Modality of Loop Diuretic Administration
In critically ill patients, loop diuretics are mainly administered intravenously as their oral bioavailability is rather unpredictable and the effect might be delayed.
33 AKI Management: Diuretics 395
Continuous intravenous administration of loop diuretics has been claimed to lead to higher diuresis compared with bolus administration. However, data regarding out­comes are conicting. A prospective randomized trial including patients with acute decompensated heart failure found no difference between both strategies [
34]. On
the contrary, a meta-analysis including small studies conducted in the ICU found a greater urine output when furosemide was administered continuously, but without an impact on mortality, length of stay, renal function, or electrolyte disturbances
35]. More recently, a large retrospective study conrmed these results [36]. It has
[ also been suggested that continuous administration was associated with fewer adverse events, particularly ototoxicity. To conclude, the available evidence does not allow recommending one strategy over another, and the choice may depend on local resources. Since furosemide is highly bound to albumin, the latter being necessary for furosemide to reach its secretion site in the tubule, some authors suggested using albumin in association with furosemide to ma
ximize its action. Currently, there is no data to support its systematic use, but albumin coadministration may improve diuretic response in patients with severe hypoalbuminemia [
37]. As diuretics are affecting electrolytes and acid-base balance,
close monitoring is mandatory to avoid adverse effects. Particularly, when using loop diuretics, hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia may occur leading to cardiac arrhythmias.

Conclusions

Diuretics and loop diuretics in particular are among the most widely used drugs in the ICU. Currently, their use in patients with or at-risk of AKI should be restricted to conrmed indications such as control or prevention of uid overload and prognostication.

Acute Kidney Disease

Introduction

Acute kidney injury compl icates up to 20% of hospital admission and around 50% of ICU admissions [1]. The development of a consensus denition of AKI in 2004 revolutionized the recogni tion, clinical management, and research priority of the immediate management of kidney injury complicating acute illness. However, in addition to being strongly associated with short term risk of death, AKI is also associated with increased risk of development and/or progression of chronic kidney disease [CKD] by almost threefold [2]. CKD is a growing global health priority,
ated with eventual need for dialysis or kidney transplantation, reduced quality
associ of life, and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, hospitalization, and mortality [3, 4]. Despite this, the follow-up and management of kidney health after critical illness
and AKI are underdeveloped [5, 6]. Partially this disconnect may have arisen from a lack of standardization in classifying the outcomes of AKI and a disconnect between the current denition of AKI made over a 7-day period and that of CKD which requires evidence of sustained kidney dysfunction over more than 3 months [7]. To address this challenge and enhance patient care, the Acute Di sease Qual ity
ive developed and dened the acute kidney disease (AKD) to represent an
Initiat intermediate period of kidney dysfunction and complete our ability to describe any patients kidney health at any time point [8]. However, several challenges remain in the
marrying of these denitions and mapping a patients kidney health journey, a

number of which have been highlighted in a recent KDIGO consensus conference on harmonizing acute and chronic kidney disease denition and classication [9]. An important difference between the denitions that makes harmonizing them difcult is that AKI diagnosis using serum creatinine is largely dened as an acute change in kidney function relative to a prior baseline, whereas CKD is dened by the absolute level of kidney function and/or indication of chronic glomerular or tubular disease
10]
by the presence of proteinuria [
.

What Is Acute Kidney Disease?

Acute kidney disease [AKD] is a term developed to complete the spectrum of kidney disease, bridging the gap between acute kidney injury [AKI] and chronic kidney disease [CKD]. The Acute Disease Quality Initiative ADQI 16 workgroup proposed a classication system for AKD, reective of AKI staging, which allows for both progression and recovery (Table 34.1). Within this original scheme, AKD is dened as the continued fullment of AKI creatinine diagnostic criteria beyond 7 days after injury, so that the presence of AKD was dened by persistence of a 1.5-fold rise in creatinine above baseline. A number of issues arise with operationalizing this denition, however. Firstly, the dependence on knowledge of a baseline creatinine for diagnosis and staging of AKD, which may be unknown and is potentially less relevant than the absolute level of kidney function as the patient emerges from the acute episode; in recognition of this, a stage 0 for AKD was suggested to represent apparently recovered AKI where there might still be underlying kidney damage; however, this is a somewhat ill-dened and ill-understood concept with only research suggestions for its quantication. Secondly, many possible trajectories of AKD might be followed over the 90-day period (Fig. 34.1); representing recurrent AKI, slow recovery, or progressive deterioration in kidney function, importantly
