Abstract
Introduction: Clinical tools to predict acute kidney injury (AKI) in intensive care unit (ICU) are lacking. Objectives: This prospective study was conducted to assess the utility of furosemide stress test (FST) to predict AKI and its progression to severe stages and requirement of hemodialysis (HD). Patients and methods: Patients in AKI stage I or II were given a standardized dose of frusemide as per protocol. The study cohort included 62 patients. Response to FST was assessed by urine output (UOP) at 2 hours. Study patients were subsequently divided into two groups, those with UOP >200 mL (group A) and those with UOP <200 mL (group B). Results: Group A constituted 71% (n=44) of cases. Of them, 2 (4.54%) patients progressed to AKI Network (AKIN) stage III. Group B constituted 29% of cases (n=18). Of them, 12 (66%) cases progressed to AKIN stage III. In group A, 4.5% (n=2) of cases required HD. In comparison, 55% (n=10) of group B patients required HD during the hospital stay. Mortality rate was 6.8% (n=3) in group A and 33.3% (n=6) in group B. The duration of stay was more in the patients with UOP <200 mL group compared to UOP >200 mL group. Conclusion: FST may be a reliable predictor of AKI progression to severe stages and requirement of dialysis in ICUs.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Renal Injury Prevention (JRIP) is a quarterly peer-reviewed international journal devoted to the promotion of early diagnosis and prevention of renal diseases. It publishes in March, June, September and December of each year. It has pursued this aim through publishing editorials, original research articles, reviews, mini-reviews, commentaries, letters to the editor, hypothesis, case reports, epidemiology and prevention, news and views and renal biopsy teaching point. In this journal, particular emphasis is given to research, both experimental and clinical, aimed at protection/prevention of renal failure and modalities in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy. A further aim of this journal is to emphasize and strengthen the link between renal pathologists/nephropathologists and nephrologists. In addition, JRIP welcomes basic biomedical as well as pharmaceutical scientific research applied to clinical nephrology. Futuristic conceptual hypothesis that integrate various fields of acute kidney injury and renal tubular cell protection are encouraged to be submitted.
