WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
• Mortality in ICU-AKI high
• No intervention with proven benefits
• Sepsis first cause
• ATN hallmark
• KB rarely done
•Technical advances increase diagnostic yield and decrease complications

Liano (Kidney International 1996)
• Seven hundred and forty-eight (748) ARF in Madrid
area
• Forty-six (46) KB done
• Four ATN identified
Langenberg (CC 2008)
• Six studies in sepsis-related AKI: 148 cases
• Two post-mortem
• Two studies reported only one AKI case in each
• Two studies: ATN 50% and 7%

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
PRATICE
• To not perform percutaneous KB if:
• Hypertension (> 160/95 mmHg)
• Coagulation abnormalities
• Single kidney
• Morphological problem (morbid obesity)
• To track bleeding risk factors (past
history, family history, medication)
• To obtain Informed consent

Before KB:
• Renal echography
• Blood group + antibodies
• Platelets counts, PTT, Quick test
• Timing to stop anticoagulation

• Echo-guided
• Automatic spring-loaded gun
• Fine needle (14-18G)

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
PRATICE
Samples and transport media
• One in alcohol-acetate-formol fixative for light microscopy
• One in Michel transport media for Immunofluorescence
• One in glutaraldehyde for electronic microscopy
After the KB
• Keep patient at rest for 12-24 hours
• Hemoglobin follow-up
• Echography follow-up
• Timing to (re)start anticoagulation

KEY MESSAGES
KB may be underused in critically ill patients since it contributes in numerous cases to modifying patient’s treatment
Suggestions for carrying out KB in ICU patients:
(i) suspected systemic disease with renal involvement
(ii) AKI initially related to ATN with unexpected evolution (delay in renal recovery or development of new symptoms or biological abnormalities suggesting an associated cause of AKI requiring a specific treatment)
(iii) AKI patients with a progression suggesting development of unexpected ESRD
ICU patients undergoing KB must be carefully selected because of frequent complications although most adverse events are not considered severe

CONCLUSIONS
• KB for AKI in ICU: benefits/risks ratio
• Level of evidence 4 (case series)
• Time for larger interventional investigations?
