Abstract
AIM
We sought to characterise the syndrome of isolated paracetamol-induced acute kidney injury (AKI), whose incidence and mechanisms are poorly understood.
METHODS
Using systematic review methodology, fifty-six papers relating to paracetamol-induced AKI were identified.
RESULTS
24 cases of isolated paracetamol-induced AKI were identified and compared to 87 identified cases of concurrent renal and hepatic injury. Paracetamol-induced AKI became detectable 3-4 days after exposure; liver injury, where it occurred, preceded AKI detection by 1 day. Risk factors affecting hepatotoxicity risk do not appear to influence isolated AKI, with no clear associated factors except younger age (mean 18.8 versus 33.1 years).
CONCLUSIONS
Isolated paracetamol-induced AKI appears commoner in younger patients. Paracetamol-induced AKI occurs late and may go undetected by current treatment guidelines.
期刊介绍:
These are usually commissioned by the editorial team in accordance with a cycle running over several years. Authors wishing to submit a review relevant to Acute Medicine are advised to contact the editor before writing this. Unsolicited review articles received for consideration may be included if the subject matter is considered of interest to the readership, provided the topic has not already been covered in a recent edition. Review articles are usually 3000-5000 words and may include tables, pictures and other figures as required for the text. Include 3 or 4 ‘key points’ summarising the main teaching messages.
