Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of serum and urinary microRNA‐423‐5p in the prediction of acute kidney injury onset and survival in patients with acute decompensated heart failure. Methods A total of 180 acute decompensated heart failure patients, including 57 acute kidney injury cases and 123 non‐acute kidney injury cases, were included in this study. Serum and urinary neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin, a biomarker of renal injury of acute kidney injury, was detected using an enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay. Expression of microRNA‐423‐5p in serum and urine samples was examined using quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction. The clinical significance of microRNA‐423‐5p was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curve and Kaplan–Meier survival analysis. Results The levels of neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin and microRNA‐423‐5p in serum and urine samples were elevated in patients with acute kidney injury compared with the non‐acute kidney injury cases (all P < 0.05). Serum and urinary microRNA‐423‐5p had relatively high predictive performance for acute kidney injury onset in acute decompensated heart failure patients, and this predictive value was more significant when combined with urinary neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin. In addition, serum and urinary elevated levels of microRNA‐423‐5p predicted a poor 180‐day survival in the acute kidney injury group. Conclusion Increased serum and urinary microRNA‐423‐5p can predict the occurrence of acute kidney injury in acute decompensated heart failure patients, and is associated with poor survival of acute kidney injury patients. In addition, the diagnostic value of urine neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin for the early screening of acute kidney injury from acute decompensated heart failure patients might be improved by considering the changes in urinary microRNA‐423‐5p.
