Introduction. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common occurrence in the intensive care unit (ICU). Studies have looked at outcomes of renal replacement therapy using intermittent haemodialysis (IHD) in ICUs with varying results. Little is known about the outcomes of using IHD in resource-limited settings where continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is limited. We sought to determine outcomes of IHD among critically ill patients admitted to a low-income country ICU.Methods. A retrospective review of patient records was conducted. Patients admitted to the ICU who underwent IHD for AKI were included in the study. Patients’ demographic and clinical characteristics, cause of AKI, laboratory parameters, haemodialysis characteristics, and survival were interpreted and analyzed. Primary outcome was mortality.Results. Of 62 patients, 40 had complete records. Median age of patients was 38.5 years. Etiologic diagnoses associated with AKI included sepsis, malaria, and ARDS. Mortality was 52.5%. APACHE II (OR 4.550; 95% CI 1.2–17.5,p=0.028), mechanical ventilation (OR 13.063; 95% CI 2.3–72,p=0.003), and need for vasopressors (OR 16.8; 95% CI 3.4–82.6,p=0.001) had statistically significant association with mortality.Conclusion. IHD may be a feasible alternative for RRT in critically ill haemodynamically stable patients in low resource settings where CRRT may not be available.

Abstract Background: Rhabdomyolysis (RM) associated acute kidney injury (AKI) is the most common systemic complication of RM. The present study aimed to assess the clinical characteristics and risk factors for intensive care unit (ICU) transfer for patients with RM-associated AKI.Methods: We included all patients who were age ≥ 18 years old with a diagnosis of RM from September 2012 to October 2018 and divided them into RM-associated AKI group and RM without AKI group. The primary outcome was transferring to ICU treatment. Regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with ICU treatment and recovery of renal function.Results: Among the 149 patients with RM, 68 (45.6%) developed AKI. The percentage of patients with AKI who transferred to ICU was higher than patients without AKI (33.8% versus 12.3%, P < 0.002). Additionally, patients with AKI had higher percentage of undergoing dialysis (19.1% versus 2.5%, P < 0.01), all-cause mortality (13.2% versus 1.2%, P < 0.01), cost of hospitalization [10.8 1,000 yuan, IQR (5.5, 3.5) versus 5.9 1,000 yuan, IQR 5.9 (3.6, 9.9), P = 0.03], as well as longer length of hospital stay [8.0 (5.0, 14.0)] versus [6.0 (4.0, 11.0)], P = 0.02). Moreover, most patients with AKI achieved complete recovery (77.9%) at discharge. After adjusting for potential risk factors, RM-associated AKI remained an independent risk factor for ICU transfer (OR = 3.0, 95% CI, 1.11–8.3, P = 0.03). However, ICU transfer was not associated with recovery of renal function (OR = 0.88, 95% CI, 0.22–3.57, P = 0.856).Conclusion: RM leaded to AKI in most patients. RM-associated AKI could cause worse clinical outcome and predict ICU transfer for patients with RM.

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.
