Microalbuminuria can predict the development of acute kidney injury in intensive care unit admission

Background: Microalbuminuria, defined as 30–300 mg/day of albumin excretion in urine is a common finding in ICU patients and has shown not only as a predictor of organ failure but prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stay. Objective of the study was to determine the prediction of acute kidney injury using urine microalbuminuria and to determine the presence of urine microalbuminuria and relationship between ICU length of stay.Methods: The present study is conducted on patients admitted to Medical ICU in SDMCMSH, Dharwad from December 2016 to November 2017. 75 patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study.Results: The present study included 75 patients, among which 50 were males and 25 were females. The mean age was 60.2years. AKI was developed more in non-diabetics than diabetics and non-hypertensives than hypertensives. The median urine microalbumin at admission in AKI was 80.9 and at 48 hr was130.1 predicted the AKI mean (1.79) in 59 patients with a p value of <0.001 using Mann Whitney test and P value statistically significant.Conclusions: Urine microalbuminuria at 48 hr has predicted AKI in 59 patients with median of 130.1 with statistical significance. Urine microalbuminuria of high value in AKI is directly proportional to prolonged ICU stay. At 48 hours of admission, increased levels of microalbuminuria compared at admission and 48 hour, indicates its prognostic significance among AKI and NON-AKI’s in ICU patients.

Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) can increase the morbidity and mortality in children admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Previous published studies have mostly been conducted in high-income countries. Evaluations of possible predictors of mortality in children with AKI in low- and middle-income countries have been limited, particularly in Indonesia. Objective To assess possible predictors of mortality in children with AKI in the PICU. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study at Dr. Sardjito Hospital, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. All children with AKI admitted to PICU for more than 24 hours from 2010 to 2016 were eligible and consecutively recruited into the study. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent predictors. Results Of the 152 children with AKI recruited, 119 died. In order to get a P value of <0.25, multivariate analysis is run to degree AKI, ventilator utilization, primary infection disease, MOF and age.Multivariate analysis showed that ventilator use, severe AKI, and infection were independently associated with mortality in children with AKI, with odds ratios (OR) of 19.2 (95%CI 6.2 to 59.7; P<0.001), 8.6 (95%CI 2.7 to 27.6; P<0.001), and 0.2 (95%CI 0.1 to 0.8; P=0.02), respectively. Conclusion The use of mechanical ventilation and the presence of severe AKI are associated with mortality in children with AKI admitted to the PICU. Interestingly, the presence of infection might be a protective factor from mortality in such patients.

Abstract Background : Currently, there is limited data of large databases of acute kidney injury (AKI) epidemiology from Southeast Asia, especially in Indonesia, the biggest countries in. Therefore, we aimed to provide demographic data of intensive care unit (ICU) patients with AKI and the utilization of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in Indonesia. Methods : We collected demographic and clinical data from 952 ICU patients. Patients were classified into AKI and non-AKI. AKI was classified according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcome (KDIGO) criteria in three stages. We then assess the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score of AKI and non-AKI patients. RRT modalities were listed down by the number of procedures conducted. Results : Overall incidence of AKI was 43%, distributed among three stages: 18.5 % stage 1, 33% stage 2, 48.5 % stage 3. Patients developing AKI need mechanical ventilation more often in comparison with non-AKI. Patients with AKI have an average APACHE score of 16.5, while non-AKI patients have an average score of 9.9. Among AKI patients, 24.6% requires RRT. The most common RRT modalities were intermittent hemodialysis (69.4%), followed by slow low efficiency dialysis (22.1%), continuous renal replacement therapy (4.2%), and peritoneal dialysis (1.1%). Conclusions: This study showed that AKI is a common problem in Indonesian ICU with containing a high mortality rate. We strongly believe that identification the risk factor of AKI will provide the opportunity to develop the predictability score for AKI prevention and finally improve AKI outcome.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) in the intensive care unit (ICU) is associated with high mortality. A thorough understanding of the clinical spectrum of the disease is needed in order to device methods to improve the final outcome due to this problem. Aims and Objectives: The aim of present study was to analyze the clinical spectrum, causes, risk and prognostic factors and final outcome of AKI in the setting of ICU. Materials and Methods: This prospective study involved patients admitted to ICU during the period between June 09 to June 10. Patients who developed AKI during the ICU stay were included in the study. The clinical and laboratory data were collected at admission and then on daily basis. Data recorded includes patients demographic profile, underlying clinical illness responsible for ICU admission, dialysis requirement, need for ventilation, total duration of ICU stay, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE)-IV score and final outcome and these data were analyzed for predicting survival using univariate and multivariate analysis. Results: 574 patients were admitted to ICU from June 09 to June 10 and (n = 124; 21.6%) patients developed AKI after admission to ICU. Mean age 44.87 ± 15.14 years and (n = 71; 57.1%) were males and (n = 53; 42.9%) were females. Out of 124 patients (50.80%; n = 63) had medical, (33.87% n = 42) had surgical and (15.32%; n = 19) had obstetric cause of admission in ICU. Of the 574 patients (12.02%; n = 69) had associated co morbidities, hypertension is the most common associated morbidities (4.7%; n = 27), others were diabetes mellitus (3.6%; n = 21), coronary artery disease (3.0%; n = 17), cerebrovascular disease (0.3%; n = 2), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (0.3%; n = 2;). The etiology of AKI was multi-factorial, sepsis were the most common cause observed in (69.64%; n = 39), hypotension (67.84%; n = 38), volume depletion (19.64%; n = 11), nephrotoxic drugs (64.28%; n = 36) patients. Multi organ system failure (MOSF) was noted in (29.03%; n = 36) patients. MOSF and sepsis were found to be significant adverse prognostic factors when multiple logistic regression analysis was done. Conclusion: AKI was seen in 21.6% of cases in our ICU and associated with poor prognosis. Presence of sepsis, MOSF, higher APACHE IV scores and ventilation requirement were correlated with higher mortality in AKI patients in ICU. Early recognisition and intervention improves the outcome.

Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) for severe respiratory failure. The aim is to evaluate the rate of AKI, defined according to Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcome guidelines, in a series of critical COVID-19 patients admitted to the ICU of a single tertiary teaching hospital. Methods: From April to May 2020, all consecutive critically ill COVID-19 patients admitted to the ICU who did not meet exclusion criteria (length of ICU stay <48 h, ESRD requiring dialysis, and patients still hospitalized in ICU at the time of data analysis) were enrolled in this study. Patients were stratified according to the highest AKI stage attained during ICU stay. Results: Sixty-one patients were included in the analysis. AKI was observed in 35/61 patients (57.4%): 25/35 episodes (71.4%) were observed within the first 7 days. AKI was classified as follows: 17.1% stage 1, 25.7% stage 2, and 57.2% stage 3. Fourteen out of 20 stage-3 patients required continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), mostly related to persistent oliguria. The overall ICU mortality was 68.9%, and it was higher in patients developing AKI if compared to no-AKI patients (p = 0.006). Renal function recovery of any grade was observed in 14 out of 35 AKI patients (40%). Among patients undergoing CRRT, 13 patients were still dialysis dependent at the time of death. Conclusion: In critical COVID-19 patients, ICU mortality is particularly high, especially in patients developing AKI. An accurate monitoring of renal function in early phases of respiratory failure should be ensured in order to timely apply any strategy aimed at limiting renal complications during ICU stay.

AbstractAcute kidney injury (AKI) and delirium are common complications on the intensive care unit (ICU). Few is known about the association of AKI and delirium, as well as about incidence and predictors of delirium in patients with AKI. In this retrospective study, all patients with AKI, as defined by the KDIGO (kidney disease improving global outcome) guideline, treated for more than 24 h on the ICU in an university hospital in 2019 were included and analyzed. Delirium was defined by a NuDesc (Nursing Delirium screening scale) ≥ 2, which is evaluated three times a day in every patient on our ICU as part of daily routine. A total of 383/919 (41.7%) patients developed an AKI during the ICU stay. Delirium was detected in 230/383 (60.1%) patients with AKI. Independent predictors of delirium were: age, psychiatric disease, alcohol abuse, mechanical ventilation, severe shock, and AKI stage II/III (all p < 0.05). The primary cause of illness had no influence on the onset of delirium. Among patients with AKI, the duration of the ICU stay correlated with higher stages of AKI and the presence of delirium (stage I/no delirium: median 1.9 (interquartile range (25th–75th) 1.3–2.9) days; stage II/III/no delirium: 2.6 (1.6–5.5) days; stage I/delirium: 4.1 (2.5–14.3) days; stage II/III/delirium: 6.8 (3.5–11.9) days; all p < 0.01). Delirium, defined as NuDesc ≥ 2 is frequent in patients with AKI on an ICU and independently predicted by higher stages of AKI.
