Abstract Acute kidney injury is a common sequela after major burn injury, but only a small proportion of patients need renal replacement therapy. In the majority of patients, need for renal replacement therapy subsides before discharge from the burn center but limited literature exists on long-term outcomes. A few studies report an increased risk for chronic renal failure after burn injury. We investigated the long-term outcome of severely burned patients receiving renal replacement therapy during acute burn injury treatment. Data on 68 severely burned patients who received renal replacement therapy in Helsinki Burn Centre between November 1988 and December 2015 were collected retrospectively. Thirty-two patients survived and remained for follow-up after the primary hospital stay until December 31, 2016. About 56.3% of discharged patients were alive at the end of follow-up. In 81.3% of discharged patients, need for renal replacement therapy subsided before discharge. Two patients received renal replacement therapy for longer than 3 months; however, need for renal replacement therapy subsided in both patients. One patient required dialysis several years later on after the need for renal replacement therapy had subsided. This study showed that long-term need for renal replacement therapy is rare after severe burn injury. In the vast majority of patients, need for renal replacement therapy subsided before discharge from primary care. Acute kidney injury in association with burns is a potential but small risk factor for later worsening of kidney function in fragile individuals.

BACKGROUND: Elderly population (≥ 65) are more prone to develop acute kidney injury (AKI) compared to younger, also elderly with AKI have an increased requirement for dialysis treatment and an elevated risk of short-term and long-term mortality.AIM: The objectives of this study were to examine the effect of treatment of short-term outcomes and mortality in elderly patients with AKI.MATERIAL AND METHODS: Seventy elderly AKI patients, that filled one of the criteria of AKI definition and had hospitalization over 24 hours, were enrolled in the study.RESULTS: The median age of patients was 74.28 ± 6.64, with mean CCI (Charlson Comorbidity Index) score of 6.94 ± 1.94. The majority of patients (70%) were classified at stage 3 of AKIN, 20% of patients were classified at stage 2 and 10% at stage 1. In the groups of patients with death outcome, the chronic cardiomyopathy was more frequently present (p = 0.034). Regarding treatment, 58.6% of the AKI patients underwent hemodialysis while 41.4% received conservative treatment. Mortality rate was 52.8%, out of which 28.6% was in-hospital mortality, while in 24.3% of patients death occurred in the follow-up period of 90 days.CONCLUSION: In our study, short- term survival is not related to different treatment options. Applied treatment in elderly patients with AKI should be assessed by measuring the long term outcome.
