Hospitalized acute exacerbation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - impact on long-term renal outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is a common and preventable event in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Data regarding the impact of AECOPD on short- and long-term renal outcomes are lacking.

Methods

We included all COPD patients who were followed at Queen Mary Hospital (QMH) in year 2015 and reviewed their clinical/renal outcomes in subsequent five years. Relationships between AECOPD and adverse renal outcomes were evaluated.

Results

371 COPD patients were included. 169 patients had hospitalized AECOPD in past one year (HAE group) while 202 patients did not (non-HAE group). 285 patients (76.8%) had renal progression/death and 102 (27.5%) patients developed acute kidney injury (AKI). HAE group
