Objective. To assess the mortality structure in patients with dialysis-dependent acute kidney injury (AKI).
Material and methods. A retrospective analysis of 47 medical records of deceased patients with stage 3 AKI was carried out.
Results. In 2017 161 patients, admitted to Saratov Regional Hospital, were diagnosed with stage 3 AKI, 47 of them died, the mortality rate was 29.2%. 37 (78%) patients developed AKI in the hospital. 39 (83%) patients were treated in intensive care units (ICU). The main causes of AKI were acute surgical pathology and sepsis. One third of the patients had a multiple cause AKI. Risk factors were identified in 76.6% of patients. The main causes of death were brain or pulmonary edema.
Conclusion. Dialysis-dependent AKI is one of the aspects of multiple organ dysfunction in serious comorbid patients and is a predictor of an unfavorable outcome. In this regard, much attention should be paid to early detection of risk factors and prevention of AKI.
