Purpose Early renal replacement therapy (RRT) initiation should theoretically influence many physiological disorders related to acute kidney injury (AKI). Currently, there is no consensus about RRT timing in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Methods We performed a retrospective analysis of all critically ill patients who received RRT in our ICU during a 3 year-period. Our goal was to identify mortality risk factors and if RRT initiation timing had an impact on survival. RRT timing was calculated from the moment the patient was classified as having acute kidney injury in the RIFLE classification. Results A hundred and ten patients received RRT. We identified four independent mortality risk factors: need for mechanical ventilation (OR = 12.82 (1.305 - 125.868, p = 0.0286); RRT initiation timing >16 h (OR = 5.66 (1.954 - 16.351), p = 0.0014); urine output on admission <500 ml/day (OR = 4.52 (1.666 - 12.251), p = 0.003); and SAPS II on admission >70 (OR = 3.45 (1.216 - 9.815), p = 0.02). The RRT initiation <16 h and RRT initiation >16 h groups presented the same baseline characteristics, except for more severe gravity scores and kidney failure in the early RRT group. Conclusions Early RRT in ICU patients with acute kidney injury or failure was associated with increased survival.

Background: Critically ill patients with COVID-19 are prone to develop severe acute kidney injury (AKI), defined as KDIGO (Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes) stages 2 or 3. However, data are limited in these patients. We aimed to report the incidence, risk factors, and prognostic impact of severe AKI in critically ill patients with COVID-19 admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for acute respiratory failure. Methods: A retrospective monocenter study including adult patients with laboratory-confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection admitted to the ICU for acute respiratory failure. The primary outcome was to identify the incidence and risk factors associated with severe AKI (KDIGO stages 2 or 3). Results: Overall, 110 COVID-19 patients were admitted. Among them, 77 (70%) required invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), 66 (60%) received vasopressor support, and 9 (8.2%) needed extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Severe AKI occurred in 50 patients (45.4%). In multivariable logistic regression analysis, severe AKI was independently associated with age (odds ratio (OR) = 1.08 (95% CI (confidence interval): 1.03–1.14), p = 0.003), IMV (OR = 33.44 (95% CI: 2.20–507.77), p = 0.011), creatinine level on admission (OR = 1.04 (95% CI: 1.008–1.065), p = 0.012), and ECMO (OR = 11.42 (95% CI: 1.95–66.70), p = 0.007). Inflammatory (interleukin-6, C-reactive protein, and ferritin) or thrombotic (D-dimer and fibrinogen) markers were not associated with severe AKI after adjustment for potential confounders. Severe AKI was independently associated with hospital mortality (OR = 29.73 (95% CI: 4.10–215.77), p = 0.001) and longer hospital length of stay (subhazard ratio = 0.26 (95% CI: 0.14–0.51), p < 0.001). At the time of hospital discharge, 74.1% of patients with severe AKI who were discharged alive from the hospital recovered normal or baseline renal function. Conclusion: Severe AKI was common in critically ill patients with COVID-19 and was not associated with inflammatory or thrombotic markers. Severe AKI was an independent risk factor of hospital mortality and hospital length of stay, and it should be rapidly recognized during SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to compare the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) among critically ill patients receiving combination therapy with vancomycin plus piperacillin–tazobactam (VPT) against patients receiving vancomycin plus cefepime (VC). Methods: A retrospective cohort study of adult patients admitted to an intensive care unit between September 2012 and December 2016 was conducted. Patients were included if they received combination therapy with VPT or VC for ≥48 hours. Patients were excluded if creatinine clearance was <60 mL/min or received renal replacement therapy prior to the initiation of therapy. The primary end point was AKI, as defined by the Acute Kidney Injury Network classification, during or within 48 hours of completion of therapy. The incidence of AKI was compared between groups and multivariate analysis was performed to control for relevant confounders. Results: A total of 394 patients received either VPT (n = 258) or VC (n = 136). There were no differences in baseline serum creatinine (0.8 [0.3]mg/dL vs 0.7 [0.3] mg/dL, P = 0.207), use of vasopressors (44% vs 38%, P = 0.255), mechanical ventilation (45% vs 40%, P = 0.350), or initial vancomycin trough (11.2 [5] mg/L vs 11 [4.8] mg/L, P = 0.668) between VPT and VC groups, respectively. The incidence of AKI was 28.7% for VPT patients versus 21.3% for VC patients ( P = 0.114). Multivariate analysis revealed vancomycin trough >20 mg/L (odds ratio, OR [95% confidence interval, CI] = 2.69 [1.62-4.47]), baseline SCr (OR [95% CI] = 3.34 [1.43-7.80]), vasopressors (OR [95% CI] = 1.77 [1.04-3.04]), and duration of combination therapy (OR [95% CI] = 1.009 [1.003-1.015]) as independent risk factors for AKI. Conclusion: The risk of AKI was similar between VPT and VC groups in critically ill patients. Risk factors for AKI were related to baseline renal function, duration of combination therapy, supratherapeutic vancomycin troughs, and severity of illness.
