Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Aims and Objective: To determine the etiology of acute kidney injury Material and Method: In our study 100 patients admitted in MGM hospital in medical ward and MICU with diagnosed AKI were enrolled. A detailed history was obtained, detailed systemic examination followed by relavant investigations were conducted and result noted. Result: In 100 patients maximum age group involved is 41-50years(41%),common etiologies are multi organ failure with sepsis(16%) followed by snakebite(12%),malaria(10%),congestive cardiac failure(9%),urinary tract obstruction(8%),cholera(6%),myocardial infarction(6%),dengue(5%),Acute exacerbation of COPD and acute gastroenteritis(4%),while remaining etiologies constituted 20% of etiological factors. Conclusion: Acute kidney injury is an increasingly common and potentially catastrophic complication. Mortality rates remain unacceptably high despite significant advance in health care. The diagnosis of AKI is based on indirect measures of GFR, plasma urea and creatinine concentrations. AKI can be prevented if detected early and appropriate treatment is initiated early.
