Acute Kidney Injury: Clinical Characteristics and Short-Term Outcomes in 1,519 Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Complex integrated information on disease mechanisms and in-hospital outcomes in mild to moderate acute kidney injury (AKI) is scarce.

Methods

The Stockholm Prospective AKI Cohort Study (SAKIS) included all patients (≥18 years, n = 1,519) with community-acquired AKI (KDIGO criteria) admitted to the nephrology ward at Danderyd University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden, between 2009 and 2018. Detailed laboratory measures were registered. Odds ratio for hypo- and hyperkalemia, recovery of kidney function by 30% and 50%, and in-hospital mortality were assessed by logistic regression analysis.

Results

Factors independently associated with the presence of hyperkalemia at admission were high age, high serum creatinine (sCr), and low C-reactive protein (CRP).
