Predictive Role of Hypernatremia for Acute Kidney Injury in Patients with Sepsis
Introduction Septic acute kidney injury (AKI), identified when both sepsis and AKI present, is a syndrome of acute function impairment and organ damage, accounting for ~50% AKI in ICU (Intensive Care Unit)
Method This study retrospectively reviewed 591 patients who were diagnosed of sepsis and admitted to the ICU of Beijing Friendship Hospital from January 2009 to December 2014. According to the concentration of serum sodium, the 591 patients were further divided into three groups: normal group, hyponatremia group and hypernatremia group.
Result PaCO 2 (P=0.014), concentration of Na + (P<0.001) and Cl - (P<0.001), BUN (P<0.001), APACHE score (P<0.001), SOFA score (P<0.001) and Glasgow score (P<0.001) showed significant differences. CK (P=0.012; OR=1.000), BUN (P=0.002; OR=1.047), Cl - (P<0.001;OR=1.255), lactic acid (P=0.001;OR=1.244), and HCO 3 - (P<0.001;OR=1.180) may be risk factors for hypernatremia in patients with sepsis. APACHE score (P=0.028;OR=1.222) and CK (P=0.014;or=1.003) may be risk factors for AKI in patients with hypernatremia. Na + suggested a good predictive ability for AKI (P<0.001; AUC: 0.586) but not for death (P=0.104)
Conclusion Hypernatremia is independently associated with an increased risk and has a predictive ability of AKI in patients with sepsis.
