The Impact

Introduction. Acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring renal replacement therapy is associated with high mortality. The study assessed the impact of the introduction of hemodialysis (HD) on outcomes of patients with AKI in Rwanda. Methods. A single center retrospective study that evaluated the clinical profile and survival outcomes of patients with AKI requiring HD [AKI-D] at a tertiary hospital in Rwanda. Data was collected on patients who received HD for AKI from September 2014 to December 2016. Patient demographics, comorbidities, clinical presentation, laboratory tests, and mortality were reviewed and analyzed. Predictors of mortality were assessed using age and gender adjusted multivariate analyses. Results. Of the 82 eligible patients, median age was 38 years (IQR 28–57 years). Males comprised 51% of the cohort. Infectious diseases including malaria, pneumonia, and sepsis (35.1%) and pregnancy-related conditions (26.9%) were the most frequent comorbidities. Pulmonary oedema (54.9%) and uremic encephalopathy (50%) were top indications for HD. Mortality was 34.1%. On multivariate analysis, receipt of <5 sessions of HD (OR = 4.01, 95% CI 1.185–13.61, P=0.026) and hyperkalemia (OR = 3.23, 95% CI 1.040–10.065, P=0.043) were associated with mortality. Conclusion. The availability of acute hemodialysis in Rwanda has resulted in improved patient survival and persistent hyperkalemia predicted higher mortality.

Objectives: Acute kidney injury is one of the most common cause of hospitalization in developing countries. Causes of AKI are multifactorial. Most of AKI are community acquired. The objective of the study was to identify the clinical profile and outcome of acute kidney disease. Subject and Methodology: 30 patients from Chitwan Medical College outpatient clinic were included in the study from November 2014 to April 2015. A brief history and clinical examinations were taken from all patients along with laboratory tests for Renal function tests, urine output, metabolic parameters and hematological profile. Results: 19 males (63.3% and 11 females (36.7%) were studied. The main causes for AKI were sepsis (46.6%) followed by hepatic causes (16.6%), gastroenteritis (10%) and others (10.2%). Out of 30 patients, 19 recovered (63.3%) and were discharged and 11(36.7%) died. Most of the deaths were in injury (37.5%) and failure (42.8%) stages of RIFLE criteria. Out of 19 recovered 16(84.21%) patients did not need any renal replacement therapy whereas 3(15.8%) patients had to undergo hemodialysis. Conclusion: Early identification of kidney injury may lead to lesser renal replacement therapy and better prognosis. However late presentations of AKI have higher hospital mortality rate.

Incidence Risk

Background. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common serious problem affecting critically ill patients in intensive care unit (ICU). It increases their morbidity, mortality, length of ICU stay, and long-term risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods. A retrospective study was carried out in a tertiary hospital in Jordan. Medical records of patients admitted to the medical ICU between 2013 and 2015 were reviewed. We aimed to identify the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of AKI. Acute kidney injury network (AKIN) classification was used to define and stage AKI. Results. 2530 patients were admitted to medical ICU, and the incidence of AKI was 31.6%, mainly in stage 1 (59.4%). In multivariate analysis, increasing age (odds ratio (OR) = 1.2 (95% CI 1.1–1.3), P = 0.0001) and higher APACHE II score (OR = 1.5 (95% CI 1.2–1.7), P = 0.001) were predictors of AKI, with 20.4% of patients started on hemodialysis. At the time of discharge, 58% of patients with AKI died compared to 51.3% of patients without AKI (P = 0.05). 88% of patients with AKIN 3 died by the time of discharge compared to patients with AKIN 2 and 1 (75.3% and 61.2% respectively, P = 0.001). Conclusion. AKI is common in ICU patients, and it increases mortality and morbidity. Close attention for earlier detection and addressing risk factors for AKI is needed to decrease incidence, complications, and mortality.
