Study Results

INTRODUCTION: Acute kidney injury is a common occurrence in ICU admissions causing increased morbidity and mortality. Present study aimed to determine the causes and prognostic factors of acute kidney injury in intensive care unit. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This Hospital based Cross sectional Study was conducted at a tertiary care Hospital and Research Center, including 100 patients aged >18 years with Acute Kidney Injury admitted in ICU from the period of October 2018 to June 2020. Patients with chronic renal disease, previous renal transplantation, congenital renal disease were excluded from the study. RESULTS: Most of the patients (63%) were aged above 50 years. Diabetes was found in 55% and hypertension in 26% of AKI cases. Most common cause identied were sepsis, CLD, renal, CNS and CVD. Hypotension occurred in 48% patients, while oliguria occurred in 45% patients. Ventilatory support was required by 43% patients, while 31% patients required haemodialysis. Mortality rate in AKI was 51%. Mortality was signicantly associated with advanced age, presence of Diabetes, and RIFLE criteria. Spot urine <40 meq/L, hyperkalemia, serum creatinine >4 mg/dl, blood urea >100 mg/dl and acidosis were associated with higher mortality. CONCLUSION: Continuous monitoring parameters like Spot Fe Na, Serum Potasium and pH especially in patients at risk, like elderly patients with diabetes, those with sepsis, can help in early identication and appropiate management, thus reduce the incidence or severity of AKI.

Introduction: Acute kidney injury  is a rare complication of pregnancy and is associated with high maternal morbidity and mortality. Obstetric factors associated with it are preeclampsia/eclampsia, sepsis, hemorrhage and dehydration. Here, we aim to find out the prevalence of complete recovery of renal function among obstetric patients with acute kidney injury. Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in a tertiary care hospital from 1st July 2020 to 30th June 2021 where obstetric patients who had developed acute kidney injury were included and followed till 6 weeks of diagnosis. Ethical approvalwas obtained from Institutional Review Committee of Nobel Medical College and Teaching Hospital (IRC- NMCTH 437/2020). The convenience sampling method was used. Data entry and analysis were done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 21. Point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval was calculated along with frequency and proportion for binary data. Results: Out of total 66 obstetric patients with acute kidney injury, 45 (68.2%) (57-79.3 at 95% Confidence Interval) had complete recovery of renal function. Rate of renal function recovery in Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 acute kidney injury were 19 (90%), 19 (86%) and 7 (58%) respectively. The most common causes of acute kidney injury were Preeclampsia/eclampsia 18 (40%), sepsis 23 (28.8%) and hemorrhage 10 (22.2%). Conclusions: The prevalence of complete recovery in obstetric patients with acute kidney injury was similar to findings from other studies done in similar settings.
