Purpose: To evaluate incidence of sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) in the AKI Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients and predictive value of Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) measured at the admission in mortality of SA-AKI and non SA-AKI. Patients and Methods: A study of 101 consecutive adult patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) diagnosed as AKI in which there were 60 patients with SA-AKI. Acute kidney injury was defined based on Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) criteria. Serum NGAL was measured using the BioVendor Human Lipocalin-2/NGAL ELISA with blood sample taken at admission. Results: Incidence of septic acute kidney injury was 59.4%, incidence of death patients reached 20.0%. Mean concentration of serum NGAL in death group was 633.56 ng/ml, higher significantly than that of survival patients (328.84 ng/ml), p<0.005. Serum NGAL in non SA-AKI patients showed a better prognostic value to predict hospital mortality than that in SA-AKI patients (AUC: 0.894 and 0,807 respectively; p < 0.005) Conclusion: In SA-AKI patients, serum NGAL and mortality rate increased along with the stage of AKI. Serum NGAL, measuring at admission time, was a good prognostic biomarker of mortality in both SA-AKI and non SA-AKI patients.

Low Incidence

Acute kidney injury is common in critically ill patients, with ultrasound recommended to exclude renal tract obstruction. Intensive care unit clinicians are skilled in acquiring and interpreting ultrasound examinations. Intensive Care Medicine Trainees wish to learn renal tract ultrasound. We sought to demonstrate that intensive care unit clinicians can competently perform renal tract ultrasound on critically ill patients. Thirty patients with acute kidney injury were scanned by two intensive care unit physicians using a standard intensive care unit ultrasound machine. The archived images were reviewed by a Radiologist for adequacy and diagnostic quality. In 28 of 30 patients both kidneys were identified. Adequate archived images of both kidneys each in two planes were possible in 23 of 30 patients. The commonest reason for failure was dressings and drains from abdominal surgery. Only one patient had hydronephrosis. Our results suggest that intensive care unit clinicians can provide focussed renal tract ultrasound. The low incidence of hydronephrosis has implications for delivering the Core Ultrasound in Intensive Care competencies.
