<b><i>Background:</i></b> Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has emerged as a major global health threat with a great number of deaths worldwide. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in patients admitted to the intensive care unit. We aimed to assess the incidence, risk factors and in-hospital outcomes of AKI in COVID-19 patients admitted to the intensive care unit. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We conducted a retrospective observational study in the intensive care unit of Tongji Hospital, which was assigned responsibility for the treatments of severe COVID-19 patients by the Wuhan government. AKI was defined and staged based on Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. Mild AKI was defined as stage 1, and severe AKI was defined as stage 2 or stage 3. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate AKI risk factors, and Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess the association between AKI and in-hospital mortality. <b><i>Results:</i></b> A total of 119 patients with COVID-19 were included in our study. The median patient age was 70 years (interquartile range, 59–77) and 61.3% were male. Fifty-one (42.8%) patients developed AKI during hospitalization, corresponding to 14.3% in stage 1, 28.6% in stage 2 and 18.5% in stage 3, respectively. Compared to patients without AKI, patients with AKI had a higher proportion of mechanical ventilation mortality and higher in-hospital mortality. A total of 97.1% of patients with severe AKI received mechanical ventilation and in-hospital mortality was up to 79.4%. Severe AKI was independently associated with high in-hospital mortality (OR: 1.82; 95% CI: 1.06–3.13). Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that high serum interleukin-8 (OR: 4.21; 95% CI: 1.23–14.38), interleukin-10 (OR: 3.32; 95% CI: 1.04–10.59) and interleukin-2 receptor (OR: 4.50; 95% CI: 0.73–6.78) were risk factors for severe AKI development. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Severe AKI was associated with high in-hospital mortality, and inflammatory response may play a role in AKI development in critically ill patients with COVID-19.

We aimed toassess the incidence, risk factors and in-hospital outcomes of AKI in COVID-19 patients admitted to intensive care unitMethods: we conducted a retrospective observational study in intensive care unit of Tongji hospital, which was assigned responsibility for the treatments of severe COVID-19 patients by Wuhan government. The AKI was defined and staged based onKidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. Mild AKI was defined as stage 1, and severe AKI was defined as stage 2 or stage 3. We used logistic regression analysis to evaluate AKI risk factors and the association between AKI and in-hospital mortality.Results: A total of 150 patients with COVID-19 were included in our study. The median age of patients was 70 (interquartile range, 60-80) years and 62.7% were male. 70 (46.7%) patients developed AKI during hospitalization, corresponding to the 17.3% in stage 1 and 9.3% in stage 2 and 20.0% in stage 3, respectively. Compared to patients without AKI, patients with AKI had higher proportion of mechanical ventilation mortality and higher in-hospital mortality. 95.5% patients with severe AKI received mechanical ventilation and in-hospital mortality was up to 79.5%. Severe AKI was independently associated with high in-hospital mortality (OR: 4.30; 95% CI: 1.83-10.10). Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that high serum interleukin-6 (OR: 2.54; 95%CI: 1.00-6.42) and interleukin-10 (OR: 3.02; 95%CI: 1.17-7.82) were risk factors for severe AKI development.Conclusions: severe AKI was associated with high in-hospital mortality and inflammatory response may play a role in AKI development in critically ill patients with COVID-19.

Objectives: To study the related factors of acute kidney injury (AKI) in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Methods: The clinical data of 879 patients in the intensive care unit were retrospectively analyzed. AKI patients were selected according to the AKI clinical diagnostic criteria, the causal analysis was performed, the indicators of AKI patients were tested, and the urine volume and the time of admission to the ICU were recorded. Finally, logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors that affect the prognosis. Results: Among the 879 patients in the intensive care unit, 96 patients (10.9%) met the KDIGO-AKI diagnostic criteria, of which 29 (30.31%) died and 49 (51.04%) required renal replacement therapy. As the age and stage of AKI patients increase, the mortality rate also increases. The pathology constituted 46 septic patients (47.92%) and 50 non-septic patients (52.08%). Patients with septic AKI have longer ICU and hospital stay than patients with non-septic AKI (t=2.291, 0.023; t=2.082, 0.041), and the rate of renal replacement therapy is higher(?2=4.091?P=0.042). Logistic regression analysis shows that old age, low urine volume, shock, acidosis, stage 3 of AKI, intake of blood pressure drugs, infections, and the need for renal replacement therapy are relevant factors that affect AKI. Conclusions: In the intensive care unit, the incidence and mortality of AKI are very high; the treatment of AKI is related to many factors; early detection and treatment is very crucial to reduce the mortality of AKI.

Objective This study aimed to identify the risk factors for death in patients with sepsis-related myocardial injury. Methods A retrospective study was conducted in 158 patients with sepsis-related myocardial injury in a mixed medical intensive care unit from January 2009 to March 2020. The patients were divided into those who survived and those who died on the basis of whether they survived after 28 days. Demographic and clinical parameters were collected. Multivariate logistic regression was performed. Results Sixty-nine (43.7%) patients died within 28 days after admission to the intensive care unit. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the oxygenation index (odds ratio [OR]: 0.979, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.970–0.989), acute kidney injury (OR: 4.787, 95% CI: 1.674–13.693), norepinephrine dose (OR: 1.706, 95% CI: 1.375–2.117), and abdominopelvic cavity infection (OR: 0.257, 95% CI: 0.076–0.866) were significantly associated with mortality within 28 days after admission in patients with sepsis-related myocardial injury. Conclusions Patients with sepsis-related myocardial injury have a high mortality rate. A high oxygenation index, occurrence of acute kidney injury, high norepinephrine dose, and occurrence of abdominopelvic cavity infection are independent risk factors for 28-day mortality in patients with sepsis-related myocardial injury.

Abstract Objective: To investigate the epidemiology of acute kidney injury and to clarify the risk factors associated with the prognosis of acute kidney injury in critically ill patients in the Gansu Province.Methods : This was a multicenter, retrospective study. The clinical data of all patients from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2019, in the intensive care unit of the selected hospitals were screened. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed first, and then the patients were divided into a survival group and a nonsurvival group based on survival status at discharge. Logistic regression analyses were used to determine the risk factors for in-hospital mortality in patients with acute kidney injury. RESULTS : (1) Among the 8106 patients admitted, a total of 3019 patients were excluded according to the exclusion criteria. Among the included patients, 890 patients met the diagnostic criteria for AKI, with an incidence of 17.5% and mortality of 41.3%. The etiology of acute kidney injury was 64% prerenal, 33% renal, and 2.7% postrenal. Prerenal AKI was the most common, among which cases caused by sepsis and septic shock accounted for 44.7%. Among the selected AKI patients, AKI stage I accounted for 22.02%, AKI stage II accounted for 31.01%, AKI stage III accounted for 46.97%, and 35.8% of the AKI patients received renal replacement therapy. (2) Logistic regression analysis showed that sex , age, AKI stage, RRT, infection, cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, cardiac output, mechanical ventilation, diuretics, white blood cells, platelets, blood urea nitrogen, prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time were significantly associated with the prognosis of acute kidney injury (P <0.05). Further analysis showed that male sex, old age, high AKI stage, RRT treatment, low cardiac output, mechanical ventilation, elevated leukocyte count, reduced platelet count and reduced serum albumin were independent risk factors for a poor prognosis of acute kidney injury.Conclusions : Large-scale epidemiological data from several representative general hospitals in the Gansu Province showed that the incidence and mortality of acute kidney injury in intensive care units were still very high. Sepsis and septic shock are the main causes of AKI.

We report the case of a 38-year-old man who presented to the emergency department with fever, myalgia, nausea, vomiting, dry cough, breathlessness and abdominal pain. He was admitted due to hypoxaemia and was diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 and was subsequently referred to the intensive care unit for intubation and mechanical ventilation. Severe rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury developed 4 days later and were suspected after noticing discolouration of the urine and a marked increase in plasma myoglobin levels. Treatment included hydration, forced diuresis and continuous renal replacement therapy. In addition to the coronavirus disease acute respiratory distress syndrome, he was diagnosed with possible SARS-CoV-2-induced myositis with severe rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure. The patient survived and was discharged from intensive care after 12 days, returning home 23 days after hospitalisation, fully mobilised with a partially restored kidney function.

Background. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common serious problem affecting critically ill patients in intensive care unit (ICU). It increases their morbidity, mortality, length of ICU stay, and long-term risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods. A retrospective study was carried out in a tertiary hospital in Jordan. Medical records of patients admitted to the medical ICU between 2013 and 2015 were reviewed. We aimed to identify the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of AKI. Acute kidney injury network (AKIN) classification was used to define and stage AKI. Results. 2530 patients were admitted to medical ICU, and the incidence of AKI was 31.6%, mainly in stage 1 (59.4%). In multivariate analysis, increasing age (odds ratio (OR) = 1.2 (95% CI 1.1–1.3), P = 0.0001) and higher APACHE II score (OR = 1.5 (95% CI 1.2–1.7), P = 0.001) were predictors of AKI, with 20.4% of patients started on hemodialysis. At the time of discharge, 58% of patients with AKI died compared to 51.3% of patients without AKI (P = 0.05). 88% of patients with AKIN 3 died by the time of discharge compared to patients with AKIN 2 and 1 (75.3% and 61.2% respectively, P = 0.001). Conclusion. AKI is common in ICU patients, and it increases mortality and morbidity. Close attention for earlier detection and addressing risk factors for AKI is needed to decrease incidence, complications, and mortality.
