Abstract

Despite its high morbidity and mortality, contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI) remains a diagnostic dilemma because it relies on in vitro detection of insensitive late-stage blood and urinary biomarkers. We report the synthesis of an activatable duplex reporter (ADR) for real-time in vivo imaging of CIAKI. ADR is equipped with chemiluminescence and near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) signaling channels that can be activated by oxidative stress (superoxide anion, O2.−) and lysosomal damage (N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase, NAG), respectively. By virtue of its high renal clearance efficiency (80 % injected doses after 24 h injection), ADR detects sequential upregulation of O2.− and NAG in the kidneys of living mice prior to a significant decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and tissue damage in the course of CIAKI. ADR outperforms the typical clinical assays and detects CIAKI at least 8 h (NIRF) and up to 16 h (chemiluminescence) earlier.
