 TOPIC:

AETIOLOGY AND OUTCOME IN ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY DUE TO MEDICAL DISORDERS  IN KIMS NARKETPALLY

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a common clinical syndrome with a broad aetiological profile. It comprises about 5% of hospital admissions and 30% of admissions to intensive care units (ICU). It is associated with major morbidity and significant mortality due to the severity of the causative illness. 
The true incidence of AKI is not easily discerned from published reports because of variation in methods of case ascertainment, definitions of AKI, and  catchment populations1

Aetiology  of  Acute  Kidney Injury  varies  from  one  geographic region  of  the  world  to  another.  While  AKI  secondary  to  diarrhoeal  diseases, toxins,  septic  abortions,  and  other  infections  and  environmental  conditions  are the  common  causes  in  the  tropical  countries,    AKI  following  trauma  due  to high-speed  traffic  and  industrial  accidents,  complex  cardiovascular  surgery, nephrotoxic  drugs  and  chemicals,  and  cardiogenic  shock  are  more  prevalent  in the  industrialized  world.1,2

In  this  perspective,I  have  endeavoured  to  study  the  various    etiologies  of  Pre-renal,  Renal  and  Post-renal  AKI,their management  and  to  analyse  outcome  of  AKI    pertaining  to  the aetiology,in  our  hospital  (Kamineni Institute of medical sciences)  during  a  specified period

 AIM  :

To study the aetiological profile and out come in Acute Kidney injury patients

OBJECTIVES :

1.To determine aetiological of prerenal, renal and post renal types of acute kidney injury.
2.To study the management of pre renal ,renal and post renal types of acute kidney injury.
3.To ascess the outcomes of acute kidney injury 

MATERIALS AND METHODS :

PLACE OF STUDY : Department of General Medicine, Kamineni Institute of Medical Sciences, Narketpally.

STUDY PERIOD : October 2020-September 2022

STUDY DESIGN : Prospective Study, Observational study

SAMPLE SIZE : No.of cases to be studied = 50

INCLUSION CRITERIA :

Diagnostic criteria used in this study are a relevant history which could have precipitated Acute Kidney Injury symptoms like 

1.Oliguria (urine output less than 400ml/day or less than 20ml / hour) anuria (less than 100ml in 24 hours)

2.Elevated renal parameters like urea (Normal value 15-45mg%), Creatinine (Normal: 0.6-1.2 mg%) 

3.Non oliguric patients with elevated renal parameters. 

4.Other symptoms those considered are oedma legs, facial puffiness, dyspnoea, vomiting and hiccup, if they fulfill the above criteria

EXCLUSION CRITERIA :

1)Patients with Pre existing chronic renal failure or chronic renal disease

2)Patients aged below 12years

METHOD OF DATA COLLECTION :

1) It is a prospective, observational study with 50 random cases of 
  renal failure satisfying my inclusion and exclusion criteria .

2) After taking informed consent a thorough evaluation was done 
  by a detailed history, physical examination,urinary analysis, 
  complete blood picture,renal function test,ultrasound abdomen,urinary 
  sodium,spot urine protien creatine ratio,fraction excretion of urine,liver 
  function test.

3) Few other investigations like blood and urine cultures whenever required

4)After  admission patient will be evaluated for the etiology of renal 
failure.Data will be collected on patient treatement (conservative 
or hemodialysis),outcome during the hospital stay and follow up

SUMMARY
1)In my study of 50 patients,29 patients (58% )are males and 21 patients (42%) are females 
 
2)In the present study majority of patients were over 60 years of age and the most of them were males(58%)

3)Age older than 65 is not only a risk factor for immediate  recovery from AKI and progression to advanced stage CKD, but the long-term survival of patients with AKI worsens with increasing age, even in non-dialysis requiring AKI [19–21].

4)In our study group prerenal and intrinsic type were detected in 40% and 56% of AKI patients respectively, while post renal type of AKI was recognized only in 4% of patients

5)In the present study individual etiologies of
1)Pre renal causes-
  Acute Gastroenteritis(20%),Heart Failure(6%),Liver 
  failure(2%),Acute pancreatitis(2%),Dengue(2%),Diabetic keto 
  acidosis(1%)
2)Renal causes-
  Sepsis(38%),Upper UTI(6%),Connective tissue 
  disorder(6%),Multiple myeloma(1%),Leptospirosis(1%),snake bite(1%)
3)Post renal causes-
  Obstructive uropathy(4%)

6)The main etiological factors of AKI in our present study were Sepsis(38%),Acute Gastroenteritis(20%),Heart Failure and Connective tissue disorder(6%),other etiologies less than 5%.In 
the PICARD study and BEST Kidney study (3,4) Sepsis and Acute Gastroenteritis were among four most common AKI causes which is consistent to our findings

7)In present study hemodialysis was carried out in 38% of our AKI patients

8)An episode of dialysis-requiring AKI was a strong independent risk factor for long-term risk of progressive CKD and mortality(22)

9)Recognizing that AKI survivors are at high risk of progressiveCKD  spurred the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) AKI guidelines to recommend that the kidney function should be evaluated 3 months after an AKI episode to establish the presence and extent of CKD (8), which was done 
 in our study.

10)Of the cases followed up 3 AKI cases progressed to CKD

11)In the previously published studies (9,10) sepsis was found to be associated with mortality which is in accordance with our findings

12)Sepsis is the most common cause of AKI in ICU (7). Recent evidence suggests that AKI in patients with sepsis may have different pathophysiology including hyperemia, vasodilatation and acute tubular apoptosis instead of ischemia,vasoconstriction or acute tubular necrosis (11). 

13) The mortality of sepsis induced AKI is more than 70% (11). Our findings suggest that septic cause of AKI is more common in non-survivors compared to survivors, as well as that sepsis is risk factor for death in AKI patients.

14)Multiple AKI biomarkers that are measured in the urine or plasma of patients with AKI have been discovered, including the neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), kidney injury 
molecule 1 (KIM-1), liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP),interleukin 18 (IL-18), calprotectin, urine angiotensinogen (AGT),urine microRNAs and the recently FDA-approved insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7x tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 in the USA(23)

15)Biomarkers for AKI diagnosis are not currently being used routinely in our local clinical practice, hence our study did not include any novel biomarkers for AKI diagnosis. In our future research, we hope to leverage the relationship of biomarkers in diagnosing AKI and predicting short and
longterm outcomes of acute kidney injury in different patient care settings, given the heterogeneity of this condition

CONCLUSION
1)From the present study it is concluded that sepsis is the most common cause of renal AKI in critically ill patients.Sepsis with  multi organ dysfunction is the chief reason of high mortality in my study.It is highly essential to  prevent the emergence of multi organ failure in any case of sepsis.

2)Our patients were managed consevatively and with hemodialysis whenever indicated
.
3)From my study it can be  concluded that  Multi organ failure in the setting of sepsis should be treated aggressively to decrease the high mortality.

LEARNING POINTS :-
One of the main reason to select the topic of  AKI is,My dad who is diabetic(since 25years)  had urosepsis(secondary to ascending pyelonephritis) in 2019 landed in AKI(sr creat-7.7mg/dl),with conservative treatment his creatinine became normal(1.1mg/dl with in one month).Even though he recovered i am still having fear that wether he will land in CKD.This is the seed that had planted in my mind before starting my pg study

I have taken up my thesis  from 2020 to 2022 to see what are the different etiological factors of AKI,their treatment(conservative/dialysis),their outcomes & progression to CKD.

What i have learned from my thesis  is 
1)Following up cases is very important rather than single point of care in hospital .

2)In the diagnosis part of AKI,rather than relaying on the laboratory parameters(like Urine electrolytes,Fractional excretion of urine,Renal failure index),history and initial treatment(i.e first 24hr’s) is more important in classification of disease(as pre-renal/renal/post renal) 

3)Calibration of Spot urine electrolytes  in the book is different from working  laboratory (i have checked different labs-kims nkp lab,KHL Lab,Thyrocare lab-All the labs are having same reference values) UNCERTAINTY STILL PERSIST

4)My hunt for what kind of AKI etiologies land in to CKD have been fulfilled .After 2years with the thesis  cases i realised most(50%) of the renal AKI patients required  dialysis(Majority of sepsis related Renal AKI patients) & 6% of them landed in CKD.So etiology of AKI plays a very important role in it’s progression to CKD

Contribution to world from my thesis :-
More research should be done on biochemical parameters to have uniform reference values to add more accurate classification & diagnosis of AKI
