Background
Urea is a toxin present in AKI. It is reasonable to think that its decrease could be associated with better clinical evolution. We explore the association between urea reduction and mortality in patients with AKI
Methods
In this prospective cohort in AKI patients . We create 4 groups of urea reduction (UrR) by their percentage decrease magnitude: 0, 1-25, 26-50 and >50. The objectives was to assess the association of UrR and mortality within 10 days of admission; find the characteristics of patients with UrR >50% and identify which KRT modality (hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and conservative) achieved this goal
Results
A total of 651 AKI patients were included. AKI stage 3 was present in 58.5%, sepsis in 45.9%, the mean urea value was 154 mg/dL, kidney replacement therapy (KRT) started in 32.4%, and 18.9% died. 50% did not reduce urea (UrR 0%). A trend to decrease risk of dead was observed with the magnitude of UrR. The best survival (94.3%) was observed in those with UrR >50%, and worst (72.1%) in those with UrR 0%. After adjusting for confounders, 10-day hospital mortality was higher in groups that did not achieve a UrR of at least 25% with an OR of 1.20. Subgroups of patients who achieved UrR >50% were those with uremic and obstructive nephropathy.
Conclusion
In our prospective cohort 50% with AKI did not reduce urea, and this was associated with an increased risk of death. Achieving UrR of at least 25% decreased the risk, and a greater magnitude of UrR with any treatment was associated with better survival.
