Effect of acute renal failure requiring renal replacement therapy on outcome in critically ill patients*

Abstract: The results of our study suggest that acute renal failure in patients undergoing renal replacement therapy presents an excess risk of in-hospital death. This increased risk cannot be explained solely by a more pronounced severity of illness. Our results provide strong evidence that acute renal failure presents a specific and independent risk factor for poor prognosis.

“…The ARF is defined, in most studies, as when there is elevation in the creatinine level between 1.3 mg/dl and 5.0 mg/dl, or when there is a need for dialysis treatment (8)(9)(12)(13)(14) . In this study, it was considered as serum creatinine levels greater than 1.5 mg/dl (11)(12) .…”

“…AKI is common in critically ill patients and remains associated with poor outcomes (1)(2)(3). The main known risk factors for AKI in critically ill patients are absolute or relative hypovolemia, nephrotoxic drug exposure, sepsis, and comorbidities (4)(5)(6)(7)(8).…”

“…acute kidney injury; acute lung injury; acute respiratory distress syndrome; biological marker; predictive value; interleukin-6; soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor; plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 Acute kidney injury (also known as acute renal failure) in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality, often 40-60% in the critical care setting (1)(2)(3)(4). New therapies that reduce the morbidity and mortality of acute kidney injury are urgently needed.…”
