therefore&#44; any elevation in procalcitonin would be only ascribable to renal dysfunction&#46; The researchers sought to characterize the relationship between procalcitonin and creatinine and procalcitonin and urea &#40;creatinine clearance was not available&#41;&#46; Had any of those relations been linear&#44; creatinine elevations might predict the increases in procalcitonin levels exclusively due to renal dysfunction or failure&#59; any further increase might be produced by bacterial coinfection&#44; thus permitting rapid diagnosis and treatment&#46;</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Unfortunately&#44; the correlations between procalcitonin and creatinine were weak&#44; even adjusted for other relevant covariates which might act as surrogates of widespread inflammation&#44; such as elevations of APACHE II or white blood cell count&#46; Indeed the metabolism of procalcitonin is poorly understood&#59; it is synthetized in the leukocytes&#44; especially in mononuclear cells and in other tissues in response to microbial toxins and certain proinflammatory mediators &#40;e&#46;g&#46;&#44; IL-1B&#44; TNF-&#945;&#44; and IL-6&#41;&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> but the mechanisms of elimination still remain to be elucidated&#46; Conversely&#44; other researchers reported a parallel increase of procalcitonin with renal deteriorating function&#59;

since only less than 10&#37; of patients experienced AKI stages I-II&#46;</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It is also likely that patients actually had bacterial coinfections which went undetected&#59; sepsis and septic shock are frequently associated with negative cultures&#46; And&#44; last but not least&#44; the real correlation might be between procalcitonin and glomerular filtration rate&#44; which was not estimated by any method&#59;

It might well be that procalcitonin dynamics in renal compromise is complex and poorly understood&#44; and that there might be other mechanisms of elimination&#44; given that the authors found higher values of procalcitonin than those predicted by their equation when progressing from AKI I to AKI II&#46; While renal dysfunction&#47;failure is a state of increased inflammation&#44; the study of Rodriguez et al&#46; point to different mediators other than creatinine and urea to explain increased procalcitonin levels in their patients&#46; And&#44; more importantly&#44; the authors give a word of caution to clinicians about interpreting high procalcitonin levels in the setting of renal dysfunction&#47;failure&#58; they should not give up searching for its most common cause&#44;

therefore&#44; any elevation in procalcitonin would be only ascribable to renal dysfunction&#46; The researchers sought to characterize the relationship between procalcitonin and creatinine and procalcitonin and urea &#40;creatinine clearance was not available&#41;&#46; Had any of those relations been linear&#44; creatinine elevations might predict the increases in procalcitonin levels exclusively due to renal dysfunction or failure&#59; any further increase might be produced by bacterial coinfection&#44;

even adjusted for other relevant covariates which might act as surrogates of widespread inflammation&#44; such as elevations of APACHE II or white blood cell count&#46; Indeed the metabolism of procalcitonin is poorly understood&#59; it is synthetized in the leukocytes&#44; especially in mononuclear cells and in other tissues in response to microbial toxins and certain proinflammatory mediators &#40;e&#46;g&#46;&#44; IL-1B&#44; TNF-&#945;&#44;

since only less than 10&#37; of patients experienced AKI stages I-II&#46;</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It is also likely that patients actually had bacterial coinfections which went undetected&#59; sepsis and septic shock are frequently associated with negative cultures&#46; And&#44; last but not least&#44; the real correlation might be between procalcitonin and glomerular filtration rate&#44; which was not estimated by any method&#59;

While renal dysfunction&#47;failure is a state of increased inflammation&#44; the study of Rodriguez et al&#46; point to different mediators other than creatinine and urea to explain increased procalcitonin levels in their patients&#46; And&#44; more importantly&#44; the authors give a word of caution to clinicians about interpreting high procalcitonin levels in the setting of renal dysfunction&#47;failure&#58; they should not give up searching for its most common cause&#44;
