STUDY OF ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY IN INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
AKI is defined as any of the following: Increase in Serum creatinine by *0.3mg/dl within 48 hours; or Increase in Serum creatinine by*1.5 times baseline, which is known or presumed to have occurred within the prior 7 days; or Urine volume of 0.5ml/kg/h for 6 hours. AKI still remains an enigmatic and debated subject, not only regarding its incidence but also regarding its most optimal treatment and prevention. Aim of the study was to determine the incidence and outcome of acute kidney injury in intensive care unit. Objectives were to study frequency of AKI in ICU, staging of AKI according to AKIN criteria, diagnosis of AKI by RIFLE criteria, etiological factors for AKI, co-morbid conditions associated with AKI. Severity of illness was assessed using RIFLE (R-risk, I-injury, F-failure, L-loss, E-end stage kidney disease) score. Diagnosis of AKI was based on AKIN (Acute Kidney Injury Network) criteria.
