Abstract
Background: The clinical profile of patients with acute kidney injury in liver diseases has many causes. Among them Pre renal AKI is superior to Acute tubular necrosis and Hepato- Renal syndrome. Acute kidney damage in patients with liver cirrhosis is linked to a significant in-hospital death rate.
Aim: To study the clinical profile of patients with acute kidney injury in liver diseases.
Material & Methods: From December 1, 2022, to November 30, 2023, the gastroenterology patient department at the MM Institute of Medical Sciences Mullana, Ambala, was the site of this prospective observational study. The study comprised 100 cases of individuals who were older than 18 years old & had been diagnosed with either acute or chronic liver disease with signs of acute kidney injury according to KIDGO criteria. Complete hemogram, conjugated & unconjugated bilirubin, serum total bilirubin, serum albumin, serum globulin, serum PT (prothrombin time)/INR, blood urea (BU), alkaline phosphatase, serum creatinine (sCr) at admission & every day until the patient gets better or is discharged, & baseline reports were recorded during the hospital stay.
Results: Of the individuals, 37% had a history of prerenal azotemia (PRA), 34% of acute tubular necrosis (ATN), & 29% had a history of hepatorenal syndrome (HRS). Subjects with PRA had the highest mean serum creatinine levels, whereas subjects with HRS had higher mean blood pressure. The participants with PRA, HRS, & ATN had mean hospital stays of 9.78±1.13, 12.55±1.09, & 10.02±1.14, respectively. 38% of the patients indicated their overall mortality. The participants with ATN had the highest recorded death rate (55.88%), followed by HRS (44.83%).
Conclusion: Acute kidney damage in patients with liver cirrhosis is linked to a significant in-hospital death rate. The two main indicators of in-hospital mortality are oliguria & a greater stage of AKI at presentation. The outcome of pre-renal AKI is superior to that of ATN or HRS.
