Acute kidney injury in septic shock: clinical outcomes and impact of duration of hypotension prior to initiation of antimicrobial therapy

Abstract: Early AKI is common in septic shock. Delays to appropriate antimicrobial therapy may contribute to significant increases in the incidence of AKI. Survival was considerably lower for septic shock associated with early AKI, with increasing severity of AKI, and with increasing delays to appropriate antimicrobial therapy.

“…In the presence of sepsis or septic shock, each hour delay in administration of appropriate antimicrobials is associated with a measurable increase in mortality [57,74]. Further, several studies show an adverse effect on secondary end points (e.g., LOS [75], acute kidney injury [76], acute lung injury [77], and organ injury assessed by Sepsis-Related Organ Assessment score [78] with increasing delays. Despite a meta-analysis of mostly poor-quality studies that failed to demonstrate a benefit of rapid antimicrobial therapy, the largest and highest-quality studies support giving appropriate antimicrobials as soon as possible in patients with sepsis with or without septic shock [57,74,[79][80][81].…”

“…A classic example are the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and the inhibitors of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), which reduce renal perfusion and favor the mechanism of renal injury (21) . The same perception and attention should be given to the indiscriminate and more recent use of vitamin supplements and herbal medications, because many patients do not consider this category as drugs and are unaware of their contribution to the development of AKI (16) .…”

“…Toxic AKI involves numerous intrinsic factors, some nonmodifiable, such as high age, gender, hypertension, chronic renal failure, congestive heart failure, multiple myeloma and modifiable factors such as dehydration, medication dosage, hypotension, concomitant use of nephrotoxic drugs, shock and sepsis (7,14,21) .…”

“…39,40 Observational data also suggest that delay to appropriate antimicrobials is an important independent factor associated with a higher risk for AKI. 51 Data from the BEST Kidney Study also revealed that 71% of patients with septic AKI required acute RRT, with 85% of patients receiving CRRT as initial therapy. 40 When compared with either non-septic AKI or sepsis alone, several studies have confirmed that septic AKI portends higher adjusted risk of short-and long-term mortality and consumption of additional health resources.…”

“…40 When compared with either non-septic AKI or sepsis alone, several studies have confirmed that septic AKI portends higher adjusted risk of short-and long-term mortality and consumption of additional health resources. 17,[39][40][41]51 Interestingly; however, compared with non-septic AKI, survivors of septic may have a greater likelihood of renal recovery and independence from RRT. 40,52 Cardio-renal syndrome Kidney and cardiac disease are common, increasingly prevalent, and frequently co-exist.…”
