One of the main reason which affects mortality is acute kidney injury (AKI). Therefore, early diagnosis of AKI is of essential. In our study, we investigated the effects of Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) on acute kidney injury development in metastatic acute lung cancer patients. Material and methods : The present study was conducted 143 patients with lung malignity at Stage 4 followed up Faculty of Medicine, Dicle University, between 2010- 2015. The study was carried out retrospectively. Creatinine levels, RDW, hemoglobin, Mean Corpuscular Volume ( MCV), C Reaktive protein (CRP), albumin levels as of admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) and after 48 hours, length of stay in ICU and results were recorded. The patients were divided in two groups as RDW > 16,8 and <= 16,8. The groups were examined in terms of acute kidney injury development, mortality and length of stay in intensive care. Results: The study population consists of 122 male (85.3%) and 21 female (14.7%) patients. The average RDW values of the patients is 16.53 +/- 1.91 and RDW >16,8 in 43.4%. AKI development was identified in 60.1% of the patients. The mean age, serum creatinine, AKI and CRP, mortality values were significantly higher and serum albumin, length of stay in intensive care (day) were significantly lower in RDW> 16.8 patient group compared to RDW <= 16.8 patient group. Conclusion: The present study showed that RDW is closely associated with acute kidney injury in advanced lung cancer patients.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessLung CancerAcute Kidney InjuryRdwArticle35523092314WOS:0004840624000022-s2.0-8507172474910.19193/0393-6384_2019_5_359N/AQ4
