Inverse association between serum creatinine and mortality in acute kidney injury

Abstract: In a cohort of septic AKI, oliguria and serum urea were the main indications for dialysis. We also described an inverse association between serum creatinine and mortality. Potential explanations for this finding include: delay in diagnosis, fluid overload with hemodilution of serum creatinine or poor nutritional status. This finding may also help to explain the low discriminative power of general severity scores - that assign higher risks to higher creatinine levels - in septic AKI patients.

“…Previous studies have asserted a direct correlation between pre-admission creatinine level and mortality rate in patients undergoing CRRT (38,39). However, neither pre-dialysis nor post-dialysis serum creatinine levels were significantly associated with mortality rate in this study.…”

“…Factors known to be linearly associated with mortality, such as initial NIHSS score at admission, age, Cr, total cholesterol, and ESR, were used as continuous variables [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ].…”

“…Estudo mostrou que de um total de 152 pacientes estratificados em dialíticos e não dialíticos, verificou-se que todos os dialíticos e 56,4% dos não dialíticos utilizaram ventilação mecânica invasiva e 52,6% dos dialíticos e 25,6% dos não dialíticos evoluíram com sepse (22) . Ao compararmos os dados deste estudo com outros encontrados (22)(23) , constatou-se similaridades com relação as características clínicas e, principalmente, nos desfechos. No entanto, neste estudo, esses fatores de risco, por mais que tenham sido evidentes em ambos os grupos, sempre se sobressaíram no grupo dialítico, com mortalidade mais elevada.…”
