Introduction Some patients with COVID-19 pneumonia present systemic disease involving multiple systems. There is limited information about the clinical characteristics and events leading to acute kidney injury (AKI). We described the factors associated with the development of AKI and explored the relation of AKI and mortality in Mexican population with severe COVID-19. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of individuals with severe pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2 hospitalized at the largest third-level reference institution for COVID-19 care in Mexico between March and April 2020. Demographic information, comorbidities, clinical and laboratory data, dates of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) and hospitalization, mechanical-ventilator settings and use of vasoactive drugs were recorded. Results Of 99 patients studied, 58 developed AKI (58.6%). The risk factors for AKI were older age (OR = 1.07, 95% CI = 1.01–1.13, p = 0.024); obesity (OR = 6.58, 95% CI = 1.8–24.05, p = 0.040); and the need for IMV (OR = 6.18, CI = 1.29–29.58, p = 0.023). The risk factors for mortality were obesity (OR = 5.57, 95% CI = 1.48–20.93, p = 0.011); requirement of vasoactive drugs on admission (OR = 5.35, 95% CI = 1.16–24.61, p = 0.031); and AKI (OR = 8.61, 95% CI = 2.24–33.1, p = 0.002). In-hospital mortality was significantly higher in patients with AKI stage 3 (79.3%) and AKI stage 2 (68.7%) compared with those with AKI stage 1 (25%; p = 0.004). Fifty-three patients underwent the furosemide stress test (FST) to predict progression to AKI stage 3. Of those, 12 progressed to AKI stage 3 (22%). The ROC curve for the FST had an AUC of 0.681 (p = 0.009); a sensitivity of 81.6% and a specificity of 54.5%. Conclusions AKI was common in our cohort of patients with severe pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. The risk factors for AKI were older age, obesity and the need for of IMV on admission. The risk factors for mortality were obesity, requirement of vasoactive drugs on admission and AKI. Mortality was more frequent in patients with AKI stages 2–3. The FST had an acceptable predictive capacity to identify patients progressing to AKI stage 3.

Introduction: Some patients with COVID-19 pneumonia present systemic disease involving multiple systems. There is limited information about the clinical characteristics and events leading to acute kidney injury (AKI). We described the factors associated with the development of AKI and explored the relation of AKI and mortality in Mexican population with severe COVID-19. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of individuals with severe pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2 hospitalized at the largest third-level reference institution for COVID-19 care in Mexico between March and April 2020. Demographic information, comorbidities, clinical and laboratory data, dates of mechanical ventilation and hospitalization, mechanical-ventilator settings and use of vasoactive drugs were recorded. Results: Of 99 patients studied, 58 developed AKI (58.6%). The group with AKI had higher body mass index (p=0.0003) and frequency of obesity (p=0.001); a higher requirement of invasive mechanical ventilation (p=0.008) and vasoactive drugs (p=0.004); greater levels of serum creatinine (p<0.001) and D-dimer on admission (p<0.001); and lower lymphocyte counts (p=0.001) than the non-AKI group. The multivariate analysis indicated that risk factors for AKI were obesity (adjusted hazard ratio (HR)=2.71, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.33-5.51, p=0.005); higher serum creatinine (HR=1.44, CI=1.02-2.02, p=0.035) and D-dimer levels on admission (HR=1.14, CI=1.06-1.23, p<0.001). In-hospital mortality was higher in the AKI group than in the non-AKI group (65.5% vs. 14.6%; p=0.001). Conclusions: AKI was common in our cohort of patients with severe COVID-19 and it was associated with mortality. The risk factors for AKI were obesity, elevated creatinine levels and higher D-dimer levels on admission. Key words: Acute kidney injury; AKI; acute renal failure; COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2.

Background. The risk factors for acute kidney injury (AKI) development in patients with diabetes hospitalized for COVID-19 have not been fully studied yet. In this study, we aimed to estimate the rate of AKI among the hospitalized population with COVID-19 and to identify the risk factors associated with AKI among patients with diabetes. Material and Methods. This retrospective cohort study included 254 patients (127 with diabetes and 127 without diabetes) who were admitted for COVID-19 to a tertiary hospital in Tehran, Iran, between February and May 2020. Clinical characteristics and outcomes, radiological findings, and laboratory data, including data on AKI, hematuria, and proteinuria were recorded and analyzed. Results. Of 254 patients, 142 (55.9%) were male and the mean (± SD) age was 65.7 years (±12.5). In total, 58 patients (22.8%) developed AKI during hospitalization, of whom 36 patients had diabetes ( p = 0.04 ); most patients (74.1%) had stage 1 or 2 AKI. Also, 8 patients (13.8%) required renal replacement therapy (RRT) after developing AKI. Regardless of diabetes status, patients who developed AKI had significantly higher mortality rates compared with patients who did not develop AKI ( p = 0.02 ). Hematuria and proteinuria were observed in 38.1% and 55% of patients, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that invasive mechanical ventilation, proteinuria, HBA1c level, history of cardiovascular disease, and use of statins were independent risk factors for AKI development in patients with diabetes. Conclusion. Results of this study showed that AKI develops in a considerable percentage of patients with COVID-19, especially in those with diabetes, and is significantly associated with mortality.

Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication of community acquired pneumonia (CAP). However, the impact of AKI on in-hospital outcomes of patients with CAP in the Chinese population remains unclear. Methods Patients diagnosed with CAP were evaluated in this retrospective observational study. Multiple Cox regression models were employed to identify the association between AKI and in-hospital mortality and 30-day mortality, respectively. Results A total of 4213 patients were recruited; 950 (22.5%) patients were diagnosed with AKI. Independent risk factors for AKI were age, male gender, hypertension, cardiac dysfunction, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, acute respiratory failure, use of diuretics, use of vasoactive drugs, and CURB-65. Cox proportional hazards regression revealed AKI, use of angiotensin receptor blocker, hypertension, CURB-65, acute respiratory failure, and use of vasoactive drugs to be independent risk factors for both in-hospital and 30-day mortality. Compared to patients without AKI, those suffering AKI were found to have 1.31-fold (HR 1.31, 95% CI, 1.04–1.66; P = 0.023) and 1.29-fold (HR 1.29, 95% CI, 1.02–1.62; P = 0.033) increased in-hospital and 30-day mortality risks, respectively. In addition, patients with AKI were likely to require admission to intensive care unit (ICU) (42.9% versus 11.4%; P < 0.001), mechanical ventilation (33.8% versus 9.3%; P < 0.001), invasive mechanical ventilation (25.9% versus 5.8%; P < 0.001), non-invasive mechanical ventilation (25.4% versus 7.1%; P < 0.001), and experienced a longer duration of hospital stay (14 days versus 10 days; P < 0.001) than those without AKI. However, no significant difference in ICU stay (11 days versus 10 days; P = 0.099) and duration of mechanical ventilation (8 days versus 8 days; P = 0.369) between AKI and non-AKI groups was found. Conclusion AKI was common in Chinese patients with CAP. Patients with CAP who developed AKI had worse in-hospital outcomes.

Abstract Background and Aims Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a syndrome characterized by overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines and hemophagocytosis. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the most common complication of HLH in the kidney, which is a strong predictor of poor prognosis. In this retrospective study, we aimed to find the risk factors of AKI in patients with HLH. Method We screened all adult patients with HLH admitted to West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January 2009 to June 2019. Patients in this study were secondary HLH according to the HLH diagnostic criteria revised by the Histocyte Society in 2004. Patients with HLH were excluded from the study if they had a functioning kidney transplant, received renal replacement therapy (RRT) in the past month, suffered from end-stage renal disease (ESRD), or had the renal malignant tumor. We collected basic information, clinical manifestations, and laboratory data of patients from electronic medical records. Results A total of 600 patients with confirmed diagnosis of secondary HLH are included in our analysis. There are 199(33.2%)HLH-induced AKI patients, among whom 37.2%, 32.7%, and 30.2% are classified as AKI I, II, and III, respectively, according to the 2012 KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) guideline. Overall hospital mortality is 176(29.3%), and the number of deaths in patients with AKI was much higher than that in patients without AKI (53.3% versus 17.5%, P &lt; 0.001). The risk factors of AKI in patients with HLH were hyperphosphatemia (P&lt;0.001, OR 5.448, 95%CI 2.951-10.059) , vasopressor(P&lt;0.001, OR 3.485, 95%CI 2.114-5.746), heart failure (P=0.044, 0R 2.336, 95%CI 1.022-5.340), gastrointestinal symptoms (P=0.043, OR 1.877, 95%CI 1.021-3.453), increased heart rate (P=0.005, OR 1.017, 95%CI 1.005-1.029), elevated total bilirubin level(P&lt;0.001, OR 1.004, 95%CI 1.002-1.007), and hypoproteinemia (P=0.034, OR 0.939, 95%CI 0.886-0.995). Conclusion The incidence of AKI was higher in patients with HLH, and the risk of death was significantly higher in HLH patients with AKI. A variety of risk factors are related to the occurrence of HLH-induced AKI. Identifying and correcting them early in clinical diagnosis and treatment may reduce the incidence of AKI in patients with HLH and improve the prognosis of them.

Abstract Background The clinical correlates, prognosis and determinants of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) remain largely unclear. Methods We retrospectively reviewed medical records of all adult patients with laboratory-confirmed Covid-19 who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) between January 23rd 2020 and April 6th 2020 at Wuhan JinYinTan Hospital and The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University. Results Among 210 patients, 131 were males (62.4%). The median Age was 64 years (IQR: 56–71). Of 92 (43.8%) patients who developed AKI during hospitalization, 13 (14.1%), 15 (16.3%) and 64 (69.6%) were classified as being at stage 1, 2 and 3, respectively. 54 patients (58.7%) received continuous renal replacement therapy. Age, sepsis, nephrotoxic drug, invasive mechanical ventilation and elevated baseline serum creatinine levels were associated with the occurrence of AKI. Renal recovery during hospitalization was identified among 16 patients with AKI (17.4%), who had a significantly shorter time from admission to AKI diagnosis, lower incidence of right heart failure and higher ratio of partial pressure of oxygen to the fraction of inspired oxygen. Of 210 patients, 93 deceased within 28 days of ICU admission. AKI stage 3, critical disease, greater Age and the lowest ratio of partial pressure of oxygen to the fraction of inspired oxygen being < 150 mmHg were independently associated with death. Conclusions Among patients with Covid-19, the incidence of AKI was high. Our findings of the risk factors of the development of AKI and factors associated with renal function recovery may inform clinical management of patients with critical illness of Covid-19.

Abstract Background Leptospirosis is the most widespread zoonotic disease in the world. In India, it is endemic in coast lined states. Renal failure is a severe complication with mortality approaching 22%, early recognition of which helps clinicians in acting fast. This study aimed to investigate the predictors of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in Leptospirosis Methods This is a prospective, case–control study done in a tertiary care center in Southern India carried out between October 2017 and December 2018. Patients with confirmed Leptospirosis as per CDC 2013 and Faine’s criteria (2012) having AKI as per KDIGO criteria were defined as cases. Subjects without AKI were controls. Demographic, clinical and laboratory data were compared between the groups and analyzed. Logistic regression was performed to analyze the possible risk factors associated with AKI in Leptospirosis. Results A total of 329 subjects met the inclusion criteria of the study. 187 patients with AKI (CASES) and 142 patients without AKI (CONTROLS) were studied. Patients with AKI were older, (mean age- 46.99 ± 13.21 vs. 42.99 ± 15.15 years) had longer hospital stay (9.04 ± 5.62 vs. 6.27 ± 3.27 days) had higher SOFA (7.97 ±2.9 vs. 3.37 ± 2.6) and APACHE 2 scores (14.37±5.93 vs. 4.66 ± 4.4), lower mean arterial pressure (84.01 ± 14.45 vs. 89.01 ± 10.63 mmHg; P = 0.001) lower serum bicarbonate level (21.70 ± 2.35 vs. 18.73 ± 3.78 mEq/dL; P < 0.001). Factors like serum lactate, AST, ALT had no significant difference between the groups. Serovar identification was done in 88 patients, of which 57 had AKI. Australis (16.7%), Pyrogenes (16.7%) and Grippotyphosa (11.1%) were the commonest serovars isolated. Serovar most commonly associated with AKI was Pyrogenes (17.5%) Predictors for AKI were jaundice (P = 0.01, OR 2.25; CI 1.21 –3.26), vomiting (P = 0.017, OR 1.9, CI 1.12- 3.26) Hypotension (P = 0.02, OR = 12.3, CI 1.85 – 107.2), tachypnea (P = 0.006, OR = 2.55, CI 1.11- 3.24), leukocytosis (P < 0.001, OR 5.45, CI 1.86- 4.89), thrombocytopenia (P < 0.001, OR 6.49, CI 2.33 – 6.75) Conclusion Identification of features like hypotension, tachypnea, acidosis, leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia, the occurrence of serovar Pyrogenes should alert the clinician on risk of developing AKI Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.

Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a life-threatening complication of rhabdomyolysis (RM). The aim of the present study was to assess patients at high risk for the occurrence of AKI defined by the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes criteria and in-hospital mortality. Methods We performed a retrospective study of patients with creatine kinase levels >1000 U/L, who were admitted to the West China Hospital of Sichuan University between January 2011 and March 2019. The sociodemographic, clinical and laboratory data of these patients were obtained from an electronic medical records database, and univariate and multivariate regression analyses were subsequently conducted. Results For the 329 patients included in our study, the incidence of AKI was 61.4%, and the overall mortality rate was 19.8%; furthermore, patients with AKI tended to have higher mortality rates than those without AKI (24.8% vs. 11.8%; P<0.01). The clinical conditions most frequently associated with RM were trauma (28.3%), sepsis (14.6%), bee sting (12.8%), thoracic and abdominal surgery (11.2%) and exercise (7.0%). Furthermore, patients with RM resulting from sepsis, bee sting and acute alcoholism were more susceptible to AKI. The risk factors for the occurrence of AKI among RM patients included age ≥60 years (OR=3.070), chronic alcoholism (OR=3.256), hypertension (OR=4.252), multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS; OR=7.244), high levels of white blood cell count (OR=1.047) and elevated serum phosphorus (OR=5.526). Age ≥60 years (OR=3.188), MODS (OR=2.262), diabetes (OR=2.746) and elevated prothrombin time (OR=1.079) were independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality in RM patients with AKI. Conclusions AKI is independently associated with mortality in patients with RM, and several risk factors were found to be associated with the occurrence of AKI and in-hospital mortality. These findings suggest that, to improve the quality of medical care, the early prevention of AKI should focus on high-risk patients and more effective management.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Critically ill patients with COVID-19 may develop multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, including acute kidney injury (AKI). We report the incidence, risk factors, associations, and outcomes of AKI and renal replacement therapy (RRT) in critically ill COVID-19 patients. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We performed a retrospective cohort study of adult patients with COVID-19 diagnosis admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) between March 2020 and May 2020. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was applied to identify risk factors for the development of AKI and use of RRT. The primary outcome was 60-day mortality after ICU admission. <b><i>Results:</i></b> 101 (50.2%) patients developed AKI (72% on the first day of invasive mechanical ventilation [IMV]), and thirty-four (17%) required RRT. Risk factors for AKI included higher baseline Cr (OR 2.50 [1.33–4.69], <i>p</i> = 0.005), diuretic use (OR 4.14 [1.27–13.49], <i>p</i> = 0.019), and IMV (OR 7.60 [1.37–42.05], <i>p</i> = 0.020). A higher C-reactive protein level was an additional risk factor for RRT (OR 2.12 [1.16–4.33], <i>p</i> = 0.023). Overall 60-day mortality was 14.4% {23.8% (<i>n</i> = 24) in the AKI group versus 5% (<i>n</i> = 5) in the non-AKI group (HR 2.79 [1.04–7.49], <i>p</i> = 0.040); and 35.3% (<i>n</i> = 12) in the RRT group versus 10.2% (<i>n</i> = 17) in the non-RRT group, respectively (HR 2.21 [1.01–4.85], <i>p</i> = 0.047)}. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> AKI was common among critically ill COVID-19 patients and occurred early in association with IMV. One in 6 AKI patients received RRT and 1 in 3 patients treated with RRT died in hospital. These findings provide important prognostic information for clinicians caring for these patients.

Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a life-threatening complication of rhabdomyolysis (RM). The aim of the present study was to assess patients at high risk for the occurrence of severe AKI defined as stage II or III of KDIGO classification and in-hospital mortality of AKI following RM. Methods We performed a retrospective study of patients with creatine kinase levels > 1000 U/L, who were admitted to the West China Hospital of Sichuan University between January 2011 and March 2019. The sociodemographic, clinical and laboratory data of these patients were obtained from an electronic medical records database, and univariate and multivariate regression analyses were subsequently conducted. Results For the 329 patients included in our study, the incidence of AKI was 61.4% and the proportion of stage I, stage II, stage III were 18.8, 14.9 and 66.3%, respectively. The overall mortality rate was 19.8%; furthermore, patients with AKI tended to have higher mortality rates than those without AKI (24.8% vs. 11.8%; P < 0.01). The clinical conditions most frequently associated with RM were trauma (28.3%), sepsis (14.6%), bee sting (12.8%), thoracic and abdominal surgery (11.2%) and exercise (7.0%). Furthermore, patients with RM resulting from sepsis, bee sting and acute alcoholism were more susceptible to severe AKI. The risk factors for the occurrence of stage II-III AKI among RM patients included hypertension (OR = 2.702), high levels of white blood cell count (OR = 1.054), increased triglycerides (OR = 1.260), low level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (OR = 0.318), elevated serum phosphorus (OR = 5.727), 5000<CK ≤ 10,000 U/L (OR = 2.617) and CK>10,000 U/L (OR = 8.093). Age ≥ 60 years (OR = 2.946), sepsis (OR = 3.206) and elevated prothrombin time (OR = 1.079) were independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality in RM patients with AKI. Conclusions AKI is independently associated with mortality in patients with RM, and several risk factors were found to be associated with the occurrence of severe AKI and in-hospital mortality. These findings suggest that, to improve the quality of medical care, the early prevention of AKI should focus on high-risk patients and more effective management.

Abstract Background While acute kidney injury (AKI) is frequent in severe SARS-CoV2-related pneumonia ICU patients, few data are still available about its risk factors. Methods Retrospective observational study performed in four university affiliated hospitals in Paris. AKI was defined according to the KIDGO guidelines. Factors associated with AKI were picked up using multivariable mixed-effects logistic regression. Independent risk factors of day 28 mortality were assessed using Cox model. Results 379 patients (median age 62 [53,69], 77% of male) were included. Half of the patients had AKI (n = 195, 52%) including 58 patients (15%) with AKI stage 1, 44 patients (12%) with AKI stage 2, and 93 patients (25% with AKI stage 3). Chronic kidney disease (OR 7.41; 95% CI 2.98–18.4), need for invasive mechanical ventilation at day 1 (OR 4.83; 95% CI 2.26–10.3), need for vasopressors at day 1 (OR 2.1; 95% CI 1.05–4.21) were associated with increased risk of AKI. Day 28 mortality in the cohort was 26.4% and was higher in patients with AKI (37.4 vs. 14.7%, P < 0.001). Neither AKI (HR 1.35; 95% CI 0.78–2.32) nor AKI stage were associated with mortality (HR [95% CI] for stage 1, 2 and 3 when compared to no AKI of, respectively, 1.02 [0.49–2.10], 1.73 [0.81–3.68] and 1.42 [0.78–2.58]). Conclusion In this large cohort of SARS-CoV2-related pneumonia patients admitted to the ICU, AKI was frequent, mostly driven by preexisting chronic kidney disease and life sustaining therapies, with unclear adjusted relationship with day 28 outcome.
