Acute kidney injury comorbidity analysis based on international classification of diseases-10 codes.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinical syndrome that occurs as a result of a dramatic decline in kidney function caused by a variety of etiological factors. Its main biomarkers, serum creatinine and urine output, are not effective in diagnosing early AKI. For this reason, this study provides insight into this syndrome by exploring the comorbidities of AKI, which may facilitate the early diagnosis of AKI. In addition, organ crosstalk in AKI was systematically explored based on comorbidities to obtain clinically reliable results.

Methods

We collected data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV database on patients aged [Formula: see text] 18 years in intensive care units (ICU) who were diagnosed with AKI using the criteria proposed by Kidney Disease
