Impact of Sarcopenia on Renal Outcomes in Patients with Septic Acute Kidney Injury: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Despite the high prevalence of sarcopenia and the significant burden of septic acute kidney injury (AKI), the impact of sarcopenia on renal outcomes in patients with septic AKI has not been studied. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the effect of sarcopenia on the renal prognosis of patients with septic AKI.

Materials and methods

This retrospective study enrolled patients with septic AKI between July 2008 and March 2019. Sarcopenia was identified by measuring the total abdominal muscle area using abdominal CT. Patients were divided into sarcopenia and non-sarcopenia groups. The effect of sarcopenia on 90-day renal outcomes, including a >50% decrease in the estimated glomerular filtration rate, dialysis dependence, and requirement for continuous renal replacement therap
