Özet
Aim: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinical syndrome that can cause disturbances in fluid-electrolyte and acid-base balance, resulting in the accumulation of nitrogen and uremic toxins along with the loss of kidney functions within hours or days. In this study, it was aimed to retrospectively examine patients with acute kidney injury to determine whether there is a relationship between infection parameters and urine volume. Materials and Methods: The study included a total of 144 patients with (n=74) and without infection (n=70) out of 294 patients with AKI who received treatment between 1 January 2020 and 31 December 2021 in the nephrology clinic of a tertiary university hospital. Results: The mean age was 66.4±15.7 (range:19-95) in patients with infection and 63.8±15.2 (range:36- 93) in non- infected patients. 51.4% (n=38) of those with infection and 52.9% (n=37) of those without infection were women. There was no difference between the individuals with and without infection in terms of age and gender (p>0.05). Infection was present in 51.4% (n=74) of the patients included in the study. Urinary tract (31.3%) and respiratory tract infections (13.2%) were the most common in those with infection. A moderate negative correlation was observed between admission CRP and discharge creatinine level in patients with infection. There was no correlation between PCT and sedimentation rate, urine volume and admission/discharge creatinine level. Moderate positive correlations were found between admission/ discharge PCT and admission/discharge urine volume in patients without infection. In addition, moderate negative correlations were found between admission/discharge sedimentation rate and admission urine volume. Conclusions: No correlation was found between PCT and sediment (incoming/exit) and outflow urine volume in patients with infection.
