One derived molecule, proenkephalin A, also known as penKid, has been demonstrated to be a reliable biomarker for kidney function and its plasma concentration correlates with measured glomerular filtration rate. penKid is used for prediction and diagnosis of AKI and need of renal replacement therapy (RRT). penKid has also been used to predict the successful weaning from RRT in patients with AKI. Whether the concentration of penKid is affected or not by RRT is a controversial point and there are no studies describing the kinetics of the molecule in such conditions. The low molecular weight (4.5 kDa) would imply free removal by the glomerulus and the dialysis membranes. During RRT, this reduction could not be detected in clinical practice due to the complex kinetics involving either low dialytic clearance or increased production in response to impaired kidney function. The aim of this study was to determine the sieving coefficient and the diffusive clearance of the penKid molecule in conditions of in vitro continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) and continuous veno-venous hemodialysis (CVVHD), respectively, and also the penKid removal ratio in conditions of in vitro hemoadsorption (HA) using a synthetic microporous resin.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Blood spiked with a lyophilized penKid peptide solved in 20 m<sc>m</sc> dipotassium phosphate and 6 m<sc>m</sc> disodium EDTA [pH 8] to reach target concentrations is used as testing solution.
