Urine biochemistry in septic and non-septic acute kidney injury: a prospective observational study

Abstract Purpose Determine whether there are unique patterns to the urine biochemistry profile in septic compared with non-septic acute kidney injury (AKI) and whether urinary biochemistry predicts worsening AKI, need for renal replacement therapy and mortality. Materials and Methods Prospective coh...

Description
Summary:Abstract Purpose Determine whether there are unique patterns to the urine biochemistry profile in septic compared with non-septic acute kidney injury (AKI) and whether urinary biochemistry predicts worsening AKI, need for renal replacement therapy and mortality. Materials and Methods Prospective cohort study of critically ill patients with septic and non-septic AKI, defined by the RIFLE (Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss, End-Stage) criteria. Urine biochemistry parameters were compared between septic and non-septic AKI and were correlated with neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), worsening AKI, renal replacement therapy (RRT), and mortality. Results Eighty-three patients were enrolled, 43 (51.8%) with sepsis. RIFLE class was not different between groups ( P = .43). Urine sodium (UNa) < 20 mmol/L, fractional excretion of sodium (FeNa) < 1%, and fractional excretion of urea (FeU) < 35% were observed in 25.3%, 57.8%, and 33.7%, respectively. Septic AKI had lower UNa compared with non-septic AKI ( P = .04). There were no differences in FeNa or FeU between groups. Urine NGAL was higher for FeNa≥1% compared to FeNa
