Background

Persistent AKI (pAKI), defined as AKI lasting ≥48h is seen in over half the patients with sepsis associated AKI (SA-AKI). Fluid overload is common in patients with SA-AKI and is associated with worse outcomes. It is however unclear if net fluid balance within 48h after onset of SA-AKI (NFB-48) is associated with development of SA-pAKI.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective study using MIMIC IV database. We identified adult patients (≥18y) with sepsis who developed AKI within 48 hours of ICU admission. We defined AKI using both creatinine and urine output based KDIGO criteria. We then identified association between NFB-48 (used as tertiles) with development of SA-pAKI using logistic regression adjusted for demographics, comorbidities, SOFA score, vital signs, laboratory measurements, vasopressors and mechanical ventilation use.

Results

Of 10,739 SA-AKI patients, 62.2% developed SA-pAKI. In comparison with patients whose SA-AKI resolved within 48h, those with SA-pAKI had higher max creatinine level (1.1 vs 1.7 mg/dL; p<0.001), higher SOFA score (4.3 vs 6.3; p<0.001), more use of vasopressors (28% vs 47%; p<0.001) and mechanical ventilation (38% vs 56%;p<0.001). They also had a higher NFB-48 (0.4 vs 1.7L; p<0.001). On adjusted analysis positive NFB-48 was significantly associated with increased odds of developing SA-AKI in a stepladder pattern (Table 1).

Conclusion

We have shown that positive NFB within 48 hours after onset of SA-pAKI is significantly associated with development of SA-pAKI. The study underscores the need for optimal fluid balance in patients with SA-AKI.
