Snippet: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common yet complicated clinical entity with high morbidity and mortality. An essential strategy to improve AKI patients’ prognoses is finding optimal biomarkers to identify AKI in a timely manner. Procalcitonin (PCT), a well-recognized biomarker for diagnosing infection and guiding antibiotics therapy, has been proposed to predict AKI development and recovery in many clinical settings.

Document: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common yet complicated clinical entity with high morbidity and mortality. An essential strategy to improve AKI patients’ prognoses is finding optimal biomarkers to identify AKI in a timely manner. Procalcitonin (PCT), a well-recognized biomarker for diagnosing infection and guiding antibiotics therapy, has been proposed to predict AKI development and recovery in many clinical settings. The current review provides comprehensive and updated information from relevant studies to evaluate PCT’s AKI-predictive ability and the influence of infection on this predictive ability. PCT has demonstrated optimal predictive ability for AKI in various populations irrespective of infection. However, the predictive ability seems to be blunted by infection since infection and inflammation have a more potent influence than AKI on PCT elevation. We furthermore explain the complicated association between elevated PCT levels and AKI in infection and inflammation situations and recommend directions for further investigations to clarify the essential issue. In conclusion, although conflicting data exist, serum PCT level is a potential biomarker for predicting AKI in many clinical settings regardless of infection. Nevertheless, further studies are warranted to clarify the association between PCT, infection, and AKI and to confirm the utilization of PCT for AKI prediction.
