Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in critically ill patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Identifying risk factors and etiologies is crucial for optimizing management and improving outcomes.
A retrospective review was conducted on 450 adult ICU admissions at a tertiary government hospital in Cebu, Philippines from 2021 to 2022. Ninety-nine patients (22%) who developed AKI were included. AKI was defined and staged according to KDIGO criteria. Data on demographics, comorbidities, AKI etiologies, management, serum creatinine trends, and outcomes were collected and analyzed using Jamovi 2.6.19. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.
Among AKI patients, 61.6% were aged ≥60 years, and 59.6% were male. Hypertension (49.5%) and diabetes (30.3%) were common comorbidities; 25.3% had both conditions. Leading AKI etiologies included pneumonia (67.7%), bacteremia (50.5%), cardiovascular issues (39.4%), and gastrointestinal disorders (30.3%), with notable overlaps (12.1% having all three). Non-survivors exhibited elevated serum creatinine at baseline (mean 3.47 mg/dL), peaking during ICU stay (4.38 mg/dL) with partial post-ICU decline (2.83 mg/dL). Mortality was 70.7%. Most who died received medical management (94.3%), and 41.4% underwent renal replacement therapy. Moreover, AKI is common and dynamic in critically ill patients, with many patients progressing to more severe stages within two days.
AKI affects a significant fraction of ICU patients and carries a high mortality risk, predominantly among elderly males with hypertension and diabetes. Multifactorial etiologies involving infection and cardiovascular compromise underscore the need for early risk identification, infection control, hemodynamic optimization, and timely renal support to improve outcomes in this vulnerable population. Renal function in ICU patients may deteriorate rapidly, which may impact prognosis, treatment decisions, and resource allocation such as dialysis.
