Risk factors associated to hospital mortality in patients with acute kidney injury on hemodialysis

Clinical characteristics of acute kidney injury in the first 13 critically ill patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) at a Peruvian hospital; a preliminary report

“…Other independent risk factors for in-hospital death on patients who developed AKI and eventually required dialysis therapy were mean arterial pressure, serum lactate levels, and serum potassium (24). Unlike our investigation, the serum lactate levels were normal in all our patients since the beginning, despite the severe desaturation in all of them, and the use of inotropic drugs in most.…”

“…The median of time since the onset of the disease until the use of invasive mechanical ventilation and use of inotropic drugs was 1.3 [0-3] days and 2.3 [0-6] days respectively. The vital signs at the time of admission were, on average; the heart rate was 98.8 bpm [78-147]; the breath rate was 18.2 rpm[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] and the oxygen saturation at Fi/O…”

Lactate measurements accurately predicts 1-week mortality in emergency department patients with acute kidney injury

“…It was shown that, high lactate levels associated with higher mortality rate in patients with trauma, sepsis, and burn 2, 3, 4, 5. We found only 4 studies focusing lactate levels and prognosis of AKI in Medline 6, 7, 8. These studies have a various limitations for the generalization of their results to emergency medicine practice such as; carrying of the study in non ED environment, enrollment of only pediatric or cirrhotic patients, patients treated with hemodialysis or patients who developed AKI due to sepsis.…”
