Message:
Abstract:
Acute renal failure (ARF) can increase mortality and morbidity, hospital stay and costs. So, carefull information about frequency distribution, mortality and morbidity, male: female ratio and other characteristics of ARF in ICU have important role to prevent and manage patients and to predict equipments and trainees personel. Therefor this evaluation considered to be necessary for above evidence
Materials And Methods
In this analytic - descriptive study, 1383 patients were investigated in surgery ICU during 1996 - 2000. Findings were collected based on age, sex, admission cause, etiology, mortality and morbidity. Datas were analyzed statistically
Results
Frequency of ARF was 25.9 percent. The most common cause of ARF was prerenal factors (57.9 percent) that include: surgery drainage, bleeding and trauma. The most frequence of age group was > 70 y (25.6 percent) and the least was 31 - 40 years old. Total mean age of patients were 36.5 19 y and about ARF were 52 5.8 y (P < 0.05). Males (30.3 percent) were more than females (19.9 percent) (P < 0.05). Mortality rate in ARF was 57.9 percent and in other patients was 12.8 percent (P < 0.05)
Conclusion
Relative frequency percentage of ARF indidcates its high frequency among hospitalized patients in ICU. Incidence of ARF increase with age and is similar to previous studies. It is probably due to underlying diseases and reduction of renal function in this age group. Males were more than female because of increasing trauma and surgery in this group. The most common cause of prerenal ARF was large amount of blood and fluids loss. Mortality rate was more than previous studies and was statistically significant. It is probably evidences of injury severity and co-existing disturbances. Because of high incidence of ARF in ICU it is necessary to maintain patients hemdynamic status, infuse enough fluids, adjust drug doses, … for immediate diagnosis and treatment of these patients.
