Abstract

Although acute renal failure (ARF) is believed to be common in the setting of critical illness and is associated with a high risk of death, little is known about its epidemiology and outcome or how these vary in different regions of the world. Prospective observational study of ICU patients who either were treated with renal replacement therapy (RRT) or fulfilled at least one of the predefined criteria for ARF. The main outcomes are occurrence of ARF, factors contributing to etiologic, illness severity, treatment and need for renal support after hospital discharge and hospital mortality. The marginal effects of acute kidney injury on in-hospital mortality, length of stay (LOS) and costs have not been well described. The acute kidney injury is associated with significantly increased mortality, LOS, and costs across a broad spectrum of conditions. Moreover, outcomes are related directly to the severity of acute kidney injury, whether characterized by nominal or percentage changes in serum creatinine. Individuals should check with a doctor that an exercise program is suited to their age, weight and health. Including abusing alcohol and drugs.
