Abstract Background and Aims Low platelet count is a marker of adverse events in acute kidney injury (AKI) patients. Thrombocytopenia has often been reported as an indicator of underlying disease severity and worse patient outcomes; however, it’s role in the prediction of the risk of bleeding is not well defined. Our study aimed to assess the prognostic impact of admission thrombocytopenia in the risk of major bleeding in non-septic, non-post surgery AKI patients. Method This retrospective study enrolled patients with AKI hospitalized at tertiary care hospital during the three years. Admission thrombocytopenia was defined as a platelet count < 150x103/mL. The primary endpoint was major bleeding, as defined by the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis. Results Of 178 included patients (age 61.7±11.1 years; 68.3% males), 26 (14.6%) had thrombocytopenia. These patients had more comorbidities: cancer (19.4 vs 9.6%; p=0.05); previous ulcer disease (17.6 vs. 8.8; p=0.04) and bleeding history (7.4% vs. 2.0%;p=0.04). While in a hospital, there was a trend for the use of more blood transfusions (7.4% vs. 2.7%; p=0.03) and more concomitant medications (12.7 vs. 5.1; p<0.05) in patients with thrombocytopenia. During a hospital stay (IQR: 7-29 days), 19 patients (10.7%) died), 22 (12.35%) had major bleeding, and 5 (2.8%) intracranial bleeding. After adjusting for age, presence of cancer, and use of oral anticoagulant medications, patients with thrombocytopenia had a higher risk of major bleeding (HR 3.34 95%CI: 1.57-7.26; p < 0.001). Conclusion Thrombocytopenia is a predictor of major intrahospital bleeding in the non-septic, non-post surgery AKI patients. It should be regarded in bleeding risk estimation and therapeutic strategy decisions.

Background: We objective of the current study was to identify the prevalence of AKI and classify them based on Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) staging system. We also evaluated the outcome of patients developing AKI and identified the associated risk factors.Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in pediatric cardiac ICU of a tertiary care hospital. Patient < 18 years who underwent cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for congenital heart disease were enrolled in the study. AKI was defined as increase in serum creatinine ≥ 0.3 mg/dl within 48 hours or 1.5 times or more from baseline within the first 7 days post-surgery. Results: Nine hundred and twenty children were enrolled in the study. Three hundred and twelve (34%) children developed AKI with 202 (20%) developing stage I, 92 (10%) stage II and 18 (2%) stage III. Resolution was achieved in all the patients and none developed chronic kidney disease. Risk factors for AKI were higher CPB time, higher aortic cross clamp time, significant arrhythmias and higher inotropic requirement at admission. Children with stage 2 and 3 disease had higher odds for requirement of mechanical ventilation > 24 hours and > 72 hours, length of ICU stay > 5 days and in hospital mortality.   Conclusions: AKI following cardiac surgery is common. Although majority of the cases are mild disease and self-limiting it can significantly affect the outcome of these patients.

Introduction: The Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a rapid decline in renal filtration function. The aetiological spectrum, prevalence of AKI and outcome is highly variable. This variation exists due to the difference in the criteria used, study population and demographic features. Huge differences are noted when AKI is compared in developing and developed countries. Hence, it is important to analyse the spectrum of AKI to facilitate earlier diagnosis and treatment which shall help in improving the outcome. Aim: To study the prevalence, aetiology and outcome of AKI in the medical intensive care. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted in a medical intensive care for 18 months where 1490 patients were screened and 403 patients were included as AKI by KDIGO criteria. History, examination, appropriate investigations and treatment details including dialysis were noted. The serum creatinine levels were obtained every day, to know the time of onset of AKI, at the time of death or discharge, and after one month for patients who turned up for follow-up. Patients were categorised based on outcome as survivors and nonsurvivors. Survivors were divided into as fully recovered and partially recovered and those who left the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) against medical advice were termed as lost to follow-up. Results: A total of 403 patients (27.04% of 1490) of medical intensive care admissions were found to have AKI. Sepsis was the most common cause of AKI. At the end of the month, 78.4% of AKI patients fully recovered, 1.2% partially recovered and the mortality was 14.9%. Mortality was higher in AKI associated with chronic medical conditions like cardiac failure, chronic liver disease and stroke. Conclusion: If treated early, AKI is mostly reversible. Regional differences in AKI should be studied extensively and local guidelines should be formulated by experts for prevention and early treatment, to improve the disease outcome.

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.

The Impact

Background: Acute Kidney Injury is a common medical problem affecting approximately 5% of all hospitalized and 30% of critically ill patients. The incidence in obstetric patients ranges from 1 in 2000 to 1 in 25000 pregnancies. In India till date, the impact of AKI on fetomaternal outcome and pertaining therapeutic interventions is only sparsely studied.Methods: It is a retrospective cross-sectional study. All obstetric patients with AKI on dialysis, admitted to Shree Krishna Hospital, a tertiary care hospital in Karamsad village in Gujarat from January 2013 to August 2015. Multivariate statistical analysis of clinical and laboratory parameters was performed using SPSS program to obtain the results.Results: The incidence of dialysis was 1.6%. HELLP syndrome and pre-eclampsia (80%) was found to be the most common etiology of AKI followed by Congestive cardiac failure (34.5%), hemorrhage and sepsis in 30% resp. All patients were admitted to ICU care. No significant difference was found between SAP II and SOFA monitoring system. Mechanical ventilation was done to support 53.3% and inotropic support was needed by 56.7% patients. According to the RIFLE criteria, majority of the patients fall under risk category followed by injury. 18% of the patients developed End Stage Renal Disease.Conclusions: In view of the multifaceted etiologies and complexity of management of AKI, a multi-disciplinary approach involving nephrologist, intensivists, obstetricians and neonatologists is extremely important.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a risk factor for increased mortality in critically ill patients. Sustained low efficiency dialysis (SLED) is a new approach in renal replacement therapy (RRT) and it combines the advantages of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and intermittent haemodialysis (HD). The study was aimed to evaluate the outcome of the hae-modynamically unstable patients with AKI in Bangladesh who were treated with SLED. So far this is the first reported study on SLED in intensive care unit (ICU) in Bangladesh. This quasi-experimental study was conducted in a 10-bed adult ICU of a tertiary care hospital in Bangladesh from June 2012 to May 2013. A total of 153 sessions of SLED were performed on 43 AKI patients. Mean age of the patients was 60.12 ± 15.57 years with male preponder-ance (67.4% were male). Mean APACHE II score was 26.88 ± 6.25. Fourteen patients (32.55%) had de novo AKI. Twenty nine patients (67.4%) had chronic kidney disease (CKD) with baseline mean serum creatinine 2.56 mg/dl, but did not require any RRT before admis-sion in ICU. After giving SLED, AKI of the study patients were completely resolved in 27.9%. Some forty two percent patients became dialysis dependant and 30.23% patients died. Patients who had AKI on CKD became dialysis dependant more often than the patients with de novo AKI (p <0.01). Mortality rate was significantly higher in patients who were on inotrope support (p= 0.017). Otherwise, there was no relation of 28 day mortality with age, prior renal function and mechanical ventilator requirement (p>0.05). Thus, SLED is an excellent renal replacement therapy for the haemodynamically unstable AKI patients of ICU. It is also cost-effective compared to CRRT.

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.
