Acute Kidney Injury in the Intensive Care Unit
Summary:
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the incidence of Acute Kidney Injury in the critically ill patient during his hospitalization at the Intensive Care Unit, the risk factors, the outcome and the therapeutic approach to the disease.
Method: Three electronic databases (Medline, Elsevier and Springerlink) were systematically searched for relevant publications from 2012 to 2017. Finally, 74 articles were selected for further analysis.
Results: In the mixed intensive care unit patients, the incidence of Acute Kidney Injury is between 10.1 and 74.5 cases per 100 patients. The need for renal replacement therapy ranges between 5.2 and 30.2 cases per 100 patients and mortality ranges between 8.9 and 47.9 events per 100 patients.
The main risk factors associated with the occurrence of Acute Kidney Injury are severe sepsis / septic shock, increased age and CKD and those associated with mortality are increased age, high APACHE score and stage III renal injury.
Conclusions: The incidence of Acute Kidney Injury in the critically ill patient during hospitalization at the Intensive Care Unit is particularly high and is associated with increased mortality. Given the lack of a specifically effective treatment, the implementation of preventative strategies is the best choice and becomes necessary.
