[Risk factors of death occurrence in patients with acute kidney injury in the course of severe cardio-vascular complications].

Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent and serious complication in patients with cardiovascular disease. The aim of the study was to evaluate the risk of death in patients with AKI complicating severe cardiovascular diseases.

Material and methods: A retrospective analysis of 246 patients surveys (157 men and 89 women aged 67.9 ± 14.8 years) with AKI in the course of severe cardiovascular diseases, hospitalized in intensive care units and words of nephrological profile in years 2000-2011 were performed.

Results: The majority of patients (95.9%) with AKI required hemodialysis treatment. The mortality rate in the study group was high and amounted to 69.5% and the recovery of renal function was observed in 39 patients (27.3%). Kidney disease before the onset of AKI was observed in 116 patients (47.2%). Patients with arterial hypertension have more frequently oligoanuria (p = 0.001), needs more hemodialysis sessions (p = 0.029) and stay longer in hospital (p = 0.012). In multivariate analysis, the occurrence of death depend on such factors as: the lack of recovery of renal function, bleeding from gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract infections, and other infectious and noninfectious complications.

Conclusions: No recovery of renal function and comorbidity while AKI in the course of severe cardiovascular diseases increase the risk of death.
