Retrospective Analysis of Mortality Cases in Advanced and Metastatic Solid Tumors With Concurrent Prerenal Azotemia.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND/AIM:A retrospective study of cases with metastatic or advanced solid tumors complicated with AKI (acute kidney injury) with prerenal azotemia. PATIENTS AND METHODS:Criteria included: (1) advanced or metastatic solid tumors that led to mortality; (2) prerenal azotemia identified upon renal function evaluation and (3) BUN to Cr ratio (BCR)?15. We also compared the outcomes of patients with BCR>20 with those of patients with BCR=15-20. RESULTS:A total of 218 patients with solid tumors were enrolled. One hundred and forty (64%) and 78 (36%) patients had BCR>20 and 15-20, respectively. Before AKI occurrence, 136 (62%) had thromboembolic complications and 96 (44%) paraneoplastic syndromes. Median survival time was 1 week in all patients. Median survival time was statistically different between the groups with BCR15-20 and BCR>20 (p<0.005, log-rank test). CONCLUSION:Cancer patients with concurrent AKI and prerenal azotemia carry a very poor prognosis.
