RESUMEN
[Objective] To explore whether the triglyceride level is associated with incidence of acute kidney injury in patients with acute pancreatitis. [Methods] From Jan 2015 to March 2017, 184 patients with acute pancreatitis were selected and divided in to 3 groups based on different triglyceride levels: ideal triglyceride group (n = 89) , mild high triglyceride group (n = 53) and severe high triglyceride group (n =42). The incidence of acute kidney injury and its severity were compared between the three groups.[Results]The incidence of acute kidney injury in severe high triglyceride group was 33.3％, significantly higher than that in ideal triglyceride group (12.3％). The surgical treatment (16.7％ vs 4.5％) , average hospitalization days (20 days vs 14 days) and systemic inflammatory response syndrome score (3.0 vs2.3) in severe high triglyceride group were higher than those in ideal triglyceride group, and all differences between the two groups were significant. After adjusting for factors such as age, sex, body mass index and other confounders, the risk of acute kidney injury occurring in severe high triglyceride group was 2.35 times that in ideal triglyceride group (95％CI: 1.32-4.29). [Conclusion] High triglyceride level proves to be associated with high risk of acute kidney injury in patients with acute pancreatitis.
