Clinical characteristics and short-term outcome of dialysis-requiring acute kidney injury in critically ill patients
Abstract
Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted in a 20-bed, third level ICU of a University Hospital between 2011 and 2017. In total, 145 D-AKI patients who underwent RRT were identified. Hospital records of patients with D-AKI were retrospectively analyzed for demographics, medical history, clinical characteristics, details of RRT modality, and short-term outcome.
Results: Of the 1689 patients investigated, 145 had D-AKI. The median age of the patients included in the study was 73 years. Septic etiology was the most common suspected cause for D-AKI development. Fifty-two patients (35.9%) underwent continuous RRT (CRRT) while intermittent hemodialysis was used in 93 patients (64.1%). Mechanical ventilation and inotropic support were more commonly used in CRRT patients than IHD patients (P=0.03). In total, in-hospital mortality rate was 73.1% while rate of dialysis-dependent CKD on discharge was 6.2%. Mortality rate was significantly higher in CRRT (84.6%) patients than in IHD patients (66.7%, P=0.019).
Conclusion: Our study results reveal that sepsis appears to be the most important cause of D-AKI in intensive care patients. D-AKI was observed more frequently in elderly patients and associated with an increased risk of short-term mortality.
