Acute kidney injury without need for dialysis, incidence, its impact on long-term stroke survival and progression to chronic kidney disease.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Patients who had a stroke are at increased risk of sepsis, dehydration and fluctuations in blood pressure, which may result in acute kidney injury (AKI). The impact of AKI on long-term stroke survival has not been studied well.

Objective

We aimed to identify incidence of AKI during acute stroke, follow-up period and its impact on long-term survival and development of chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Design, setting and participants

Retrospective analysis of patients who had a stroke admitted at the rehabilitation facility in Changi General Hospital, Singapore, between June 2008 and May 2017, with median follow-up of 141 (95% CI 120 to 163) months.

Outcome measures and results of univariate analysis

Total 681 patients, median age (63.6) years, 173 (28%
