Purpose Haemorrhage, preeclampsia and sepsis are the leading causes renal dysfunction in women with a maternal nearmiss(MNM) complication. The study aimed to assess the prevalence, pattern and follow up of these women. Methods This was a hospital based prospective observational study, conducted over one year. All women with a MNM leading to acute kidney injury (AKI) were analysed for fetomaternal outcomes and renal function at 1 year of followup. Results Incidence of MNM was 43.04 per 1000 livebirths. 18.2% women developed AKI. 51.1% women developed AKI in the puerperal period. Most common cause of AKI was haemorrhage seen in 38.3% women. Majority of women had s.creatinine between 2.1 to 5 mg/dl and 44.68% required dialysis. 80.8% women recovered fully when the treatment was initiated within 24 h. One patient underwent renal transplant. Conclusion Early diagnosis and treatment of AKI results in full recovery.

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.
