Epidemiología de la injuria renal aguda y enfermedad renal crónica en la unidad de cuidados intensivos / Epidemiology of acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease in the intensive care unit

RESUMEN Objetivo: Describir la epidemiología de la injuria renal aguda, la relación con la enfermedad renal crónica y los factores asociados a su incidencia. Métodos: Estudio de cohorte y seguimiento en una unidad de terapia intensiva de Montevideo - Uruguay. Se incluyeron pacientes ingresados entre noviembre 2014 a octubre 2015, mayores de 15 años con dos mediciones de creatinina sérica. Se excluyeron pacientes con menos de 48 horas de internación o fallecidos en ese tiempo y portadores de enfermedad renal crónica en hemodiálisis o diálisis peritoneal. No hubo intervenciones. La injuria renal aguda se definió según criterios Acute Kidney Injury Disease Improving Global Outcomes y la enfermedad renal crónica según Cronic Kidney Disease Work Group. Resultados: Se incluyeron 401 pacientes, sexo masculino 56,6%, mediana de edad 68 (rango intercuartílico - RIC 51 - 79) años. El diagnóstico al ingreso fue sepsis grave 36,3%, neurocrítico 16,3%, politrauma 15,2% y otros 32,2%. La incidencia de injuria renal aguda fue de 50,1%. El 14,1% eran portadores de enfermedad renal crónica. La incidencia de injuria renal aguda séptica fue de 75,3%. La mortalidad en los pacientes con o sin injuria renal aguda fue de 41,8 y 14% respectivamente (p < 0,001). En el análisis multivariado las variables de mayor significación para la injuria renal aguda fueron enfermedad renal crónica (odds ratio - OR 5,39 IC95% 2,04 - 14,29 p = 0,001), shock (OR 3,94 IC95% 1,72 - 9,07 p = 0,001) y sepsis grave (OR 7,79 IC 95% 2,02 - 29,97 p = 0,003). Conclusión: La incidencia de injuria renal aguda es elevada principalmente en pacientes sépticos. La enfermedad renal crónica se asoció de forma independiente al desarrollo de injuria renal aguda.

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the epidemiology of acute kidney injury, its relationship to chronic kidney disease, and the factors associated with its incidence. Methods: A cohort study and follow-up were conducted in an intensive care unit in Montevideo, Uruguay. We included patients admitted between November 2014 and October 2015 who were older than 15 years of age and who had at least two measurements of serum creatinine. We excluded patients who were hospitalized for less than 48 hours, patients who died at the time of hospitalization, and patients with chronic renal disease who were on hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. There were no interventions. Acute kidney injury was defined according to the criteria set forth in Acute Kidney Injury Disease: Improving Global Outcomes, and chronic kidney disease was defined according to the Chronic Kidney Disease Work Group. Results: We included 401 patients, 56.6% male, median age of 68 years (interquartile range (IQR) 51-79 years). The diagnosis at admission was severe sepsis 36.3%, neurocritical 16.3%, polytrauma 15.2%, and other 32.2%. The incidence of acute kidney injury was 50.1%, and 14.1% of the patients suffered from chronic kidney disease. The incidence of acute septic kidney injury was 75.3%. Mortality in patients with or without acute kidney injury was 41.8% and 14%, respectively (p < 0.001). In the multivariate analysis, the most significant variables for acute kidney injury were chronic kidney disease (odds ratio (OR) 5.39, 95%CI 2.04 - 14.29, p = 0.001), shock (OR 3.94, 95%CI 1.72 - 9.07, p = 0.001), and severe sepsis (OR 7.79, 95%CI 2.02 - 29.97, p = 0.003). Conclusion: The incidence of acute kidney injury is high mainly in septic patients. Chronic kidney disease was independently associated with the development of acute kidney injury.

Nefropatía IgA en Uruguay: presentación clínica y evolución / IgA Nephropathy in Uruguay: clinical presentation and evolution

La nefropatía IgA es frecuente en Uruguay y su tratamiento conflictivo. Objetivo: analizar la incidencia, presentación clínica, histología, tratamiento y evolución de la nefropatía IgA en Uruguay. Material y método: se realizó un análisis retrospectivo de datos del Registro Uruguayo de Glomerulopatías (RUG) e historias clínicas con estricta confidencialidad; se registró edad, sexo, fecha de biopsia renal, presentación clínica, presión arterial (PA), proteinuria, hematuria y creatininemia (al inicio y en última evolución registrada), histología, tratamientos y evolución. Análisis estadístico uni y multivariado. Aprobado por el Comité de Ética del Hospital de Clínicas. Resultados: se estudiaron 341 pacientes con nefropatía IgA, confirmada por histología, en el período comprendido entre el 1º de enero de 1985 y el 31 de diciembre de 2009; 65% hombres, edad media 31 ± 13 años y mediana de seguimiento de 52 meses (1-271); 14% ingresaron a diálisis y 1,2% fallecieron. La presentación clínica más frecuente fue con alteraciones urinarias asintomáticas (AUA) (42%), (mayor en el período 2000-2009, chi2 p < 0,05). Al inicio, la proteinuria era 1,7 ± 1,9 g/l; creatininemia 1,6 ± 1,8 mg/dl, y 32% tenían PA ≥ 140/90 mmHg. Se observaron semilunas en 48%. Recibieron inhibidores de la enzima convertidora de angiotensina/antagonistas de los receptores de la angiotensina II (IECA/ARAII) 56% e inmunosupresores, 52%. La PA disminuyó significativamente en la evolución. En el análisis univariado, la creatininemia inicial fue ≥ 2,5 mg/dl, proteinuria, semilunas y proliferación endocapilar se asociaron a ingreso a diálisis o fallecimiento, pero en el análisis multivariado (regresión de Cox) solo fue significativo el nivel de creatininemia. Conclusiones: la presentación clínica de nefropatía IgA ha cambiado en la última década, siendo más frecuente las AUA. La creatininemia ≥ 2,5 mg/dl se asocia a peor supervivencia renal, probable “punto de no retorno”...

IgA nephropathy is a frequent condition in Uruguay and treating it is controversial.Objective: to analyse incidence, clinical presentation, histology, treatment and evolution of nephropathy in Uruguay.Method: we conducted a retrospective study of data kept at the Uruguayan Registry of Glomerulopathies and medical records under strict confidentiality. Age, sex, date of the kidney biopsy, clinical presentation, blood pressure, proteinuria, hematuria and creatininemia (initial and in the last evolution recorded), histology, treatment and evolution were registered. Single-variate and multivariate statistic analysis were applied. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Clínicas University Hospital.Results: Three hundred and forty one patients with IgA nephropathy – confirmed with histopathology analysis - were studied. Sixty five per cent were men, average age was 31 ± 13 year old and follow-up median 52 months (1-271); 14% started with dialysis and 1.2% died. The most common clinical presentation was asymptomatic urinary alterations (42%), (and this was more evident in the 2000-2009 period, chi2 p < 0.05). At the beginning, proteinuria was 1.7 ± 1.9 g/l; creatininemia 1.6 ± 1.8 mg/dl, and blood pressure was PA ≥ 140/90 mmHg in 32% of patients. Crescent formations were observed in 48%. Fifty six per cent of them received angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) / angiotensin receptor blockers and 52% of patients received immunosuppressants. Blood pressure significantly dropped in the evolution. In the single-variate analysis, initial creatininemia was ≥ 2.5 mg/dl, proteinuria, crescent formations and endocapillary proliferation were associated to starting dialysis or death, although in the multivariate analysis (Cox regression) only the level of creatininemia was significant.Conclusions: the clinical presentation of IgA nephropathy has changed in the past decade, being the asymtomatic urinary alterations the most frequent...

A nefropatia IgA é frequente no Uruguai e seu tratamento conflitivo.Objetivo: analisar a incidência, apresentação clínica, histologia, tratamento e evolução da nefropatia IgA no Uruguai.Material e método: uma análise retrospectiva dos dados do Registro Uruguaio de Glomerulopatias (RUG) e prontuários médicos com absoluta confidencialidade foi realizada; foram registrados idade, sexo, data da biopsia renal, apresentação clínica, pressão arterial (PA), proteinúria, hematúria e creatininemia (no inicio e na última evolução registrada), histologia, tratamentos e evolução. Análise estatística uni e multivariada. Aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética do Hospital das Clínicas.Resultados: foram estudados 341 pacientes com nefropatia IgA, confirmada por histologia, no período 1º de janeiro de 1985 - 31 de dezembro de 2009; 65% eram homens, idade média 31 ± 13 anos e mediana de seguimento de 52 meses (1-271); 14% ingressaram a diálise e 1,2% faleceu. A apresentação clínica mais frequente foi presença de alterações urinárias assintomáticas (AUA) (42%), (maior no período 2000-2009, chi2 p < 0,05). No inicio, a proteinuria era 1,7 ± 1,9 g/l; creatininemia 1,6 ± 1,8 mg/dl, e 32% apresentaram PA ≥ 140/90 mmHg. Foram observadas crescentes celulares em 48%. Receberam inibidores da enzima conversora da angiotensina/antagonistas dos receptores da angiotensina (IECA/ ARA) 56% e imunossupressores, 52%. A PA diminuiu significativamente na evolução. Na análise univariada, a creatininemia inicial foi ≥2,5 mg/dl, proteinúria, crescentes celulares e proliferação endocapilar estavam associados ao ingresso à diálise e ao falecimento, porém na análise multivariada (regressão de Cox) somente o nível de creatininemia foi significativo.Conclusões: a apresentação clínica da nefropatía IgA mostrou mudanças na última década, sendo mais frequente as AUA. A creatininemia ≥ 2,5 mg/dl está associada a pior supervivência renal, provável “ponto de não retorno”...
