Community-acquired pneumonia and acute kidney injury

Author(s):  
Norbert Lameire

It is known that in one-half of the patients hospitalized for community-acquired pneumonia, severe sepsis develops, with non-pulmonary organ dysfunction developing in more than one-third and septic shock in 4.5%. Some years ago, it was found that acute kidney injury was common in community-acquired pneumonia even in patients who appeared to have an uncomplicated course of community-acquired pneumonia and where acute kidney injury was observed in one-quarter of them.

Introduction: Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) adversely impacts renal function, and E/e′ is a significant predictor of adverse kidney events under different clinical conditions. However, no studies have evaluated the association between LVDD and septic acute kidney injury (AKI) among patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. Methods: This multicenter retrospective study evaluated adult patients with severe sepsis or septic shock between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2019, who underwent echocardiography within 24 hours after admission to an intensive care unit. Results: A total of 495 adult patients were enrolled in the study. LVDD grades II and III were associated with severe (stage 3) AKI ( p < 0.001, p for trend < 0.001). E/e′ and e′ were risk factors for septic AKI (OR, 1.155; 95% CI, 1.088–1.226, p < 0.001; and OR, 7.218; 95% CI, 2.942–17.712, p < 0.001, respectively) in the multivariate logistic regression analysis. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of E/e′ and e′ was 0.728 (95% CI, 0.680–0.777, p < 0.001) and 0.715 (95% CI, 0.665–0.764, p < 0.001), respectively. Conclusions: LVDD was associated with septic AKI, and E/e′ and e′ are useful predictors of septic AKI among patients with severe sepsis or septic shock. Trial registration The study was registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (Protocol No. ChiCTR2000033083).

Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of patients with sepsis-associated organ dysfunction and septic shock who receive fluid resuscitation with balanced and unbalanced solutions in a middle-income country. Design: An observational, analytical cohort study with propensity score matching (PSM) in children admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Patients from one month to 17 years old who required fluid boluses due to hemodynamic instability were included. The primary outcome was the presence of acute kidney injury and the secondary outcomes were the need to begin continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), metabolic acidosis, PICU length of stay and mortality. Measurements and Main Results: Out of the 1,074 admissions to the PICU during the study period, 99 patients had sepsis-associated organ dysfunction and septic shock. Propensity score matching was performed including each patient´s baseline characteristics. The median age was 9.9 months (IQR 4.9-22.2) with 55.5% of the patients being male. Acute kidney injury was seen less frequently in children who received a balanced solution than in those who received an unbalanced solution (20.3% vs 25.7% P = 0.006 ORa, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.65-0.87), adjusted for disease severity. In addition, the group that received balanced solutions had less need for CRRT (3.3 % vs 6.5%; P = 0.02 ORa 0.48; 95% CI, 0.36-0.64) and a shorter PICU stay (6 days IQR 4.4-20.2 vs 10.2 days IQR 4.7-26; P < 0.001) than the group with unbalanced solutions. We found no difference in the frequency of metabolic acidosis ( P = 0.37), hyperchloremia ( P = 0.11) and mortality ( P = 0.25) between the 2 groups. Conclusion: In children with sepsis-associated organ dysfunction and septic shock, the use of unbalanced solutions for fluid resuscitation is associated with a higher frequency of acute kidney injury, a greater need for continuous renal support and a longer PICU stay compared to the use of balanced solutions, in a middle-income country.
