Background: Severe acute kidney injury (AKI) poses a significant clinical and economic burden, especially in resource-limited settings. The optimal timing for initiating renal replacement therapy (RRT) remains uncertain.
Aim: To compare the characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients with severe AKI managed with early RRT versus conservative management at a tertiary hospital in the Philippines.
This single-center retrospective cohort study included 669 adult patients with KDIGO stage 3 AKI from 2021–2025. Patients were categorized into early RRT (initiated within 24 hours of diagnosis) or conservative management (medical treatment with or without delayed RRT). Outcomes included in-hospital mortality, renal recovery, and dialysis dependence. Logistic regression was used to adjust for confounders.
Early RRT was initiated in 16% of patients. There were no statistically significant differences in in-hospital mortality (16% vs. 24%; p = 0.063), renal recovery (21% vs. 30%; p = 0.107), or dialysis dependence (29% vs. 30%; p = 0.879) between early and conservative management groups.
Early initiation of RRT did not confer significant clinical benefits over conservative management in severe AKI. In resource-constrained settings, a symptom-guided, individualized approach may help reduce unnecessary RRT without compromising outcomes.
