ABSTRACT

Objective:

In our study, it was aimed to investigate the relationship between RIFLE classification and the risk factors such as acute renal failure incidence, kidney failure in terms of comorbid conditions, critical conditions before and after hospitalization, if any, genetic predispositions, drug use, scores on administration day to the hospital and mortality in intensive care unit patients.

Material and Method:

A total of 200 patients hospitalized in anesthesiology and reanimation intensive care unit (ICU) between March 1, 2012 and March 31, 2013 were prospectively evaluated. The patients with a history of established chronic renal failure or hemodialysis, under 18 years of age and the patients hospitalized in ICU less than 48 hours were excluded. Data of the patients regarding age, gender, body mass index (BMI), diagnosis at the hospitalization, history of any operation, smoking status, medications, durations of ICU stay and mechanical ventilation, SOFA and APACHE II scores on the 1st day, the worst RIFLE score during the hospitalization, medical status at the end were recorded. The patients whom creatinine levels were not increased significantly and/or GFR and urine output were not decreased were accepted as out of RIFLE.

Results:

Age, BMI, diagnosis at the hospitalization, smoking status, presence and duration of chronic disease, analgesia, antibiotic and diuretic usages, presences bleeding and hypotension episodes, mechanical ventilation and total ICU hospitalization durations, SOFA and APACHE II scores on the 1st day were found to be significantly related to RIFLE classification. Gender, history and type of operation, type of chronic disease, glucocorticoids, HES, radiocontrast drug administration, renal stone disease, familial renal disease history were not found significantly related. Increased RIFLE scores were found to be related with increased mortality.

Conclusion:

We concluded that recognizing the factors leading to renal injury/failure and usage of RIFLE classification in daily care of patients are important to decrease mortality and morbidity of ICU patients by increasing the awareness.
