Background And Aims: Sustained low-efficiency dialysis (SLED) is a cost-effective alternative to continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in critically ill acute kidney injury (AKI) patients, in addition to intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) as a mode of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in such patients. This single-center, prospective, observational study aimed to assess the short-term outcomes of SLED and IHD in such patients.
Methodology: Adult (>18 years) patients with AKI requiring dialysis were included from different ICUs of a tertiary care center.
Article Synopsis
- PR-AKI accounts for a significant portion of maternal mortality and often leads to severe kidney issues, yet there are no comparative studies with non-obstetric AKI.
- This study analyzed 260 cases over 1.5 years, focusing on differences between non-obstetric (83.4%) and obstetric (16.6%) acute kidney injury groups.
- Findings revealed that sepsis was the main cause of AKI, with worse long-term outcomes for obstetric AKI patients, who had a higher rate of CKD progression and dialysis dependence, despite experiencing lower mortality compared to the non-obstetric group at a 3-month follow-up.
- Overall, non-obstetric AKI showed higher early mortality but better long-term
