Acute kidney injury (AKI) with fluid overload is associated with poor outcomes. While percentage fluid overload (PFO) using intake/output charts (PFOi/o) has been validated as a marker of overload, accurate PFOi/o measurements may not be possible in a general ward. We propose an alternative weight-based PFO calculation: PFOw = [(maximum weight - baseline weight) ÷ baseline weight] × 100%.
This is a prospective, observational pilot study on general ward inpatients with AKI who were referred for nephrology consult. PFOw was compared with PFOi/o, and both were evaluated for associations with dialysis requirement, AKI stage 2 or 3, and 90-day mortality.
Fifty-eight patients with a median age of 67.5 years (interquartile range 18.0) were recruited. Of which, 33 (56.9%) were males and 41 (70.7%) had preexisting CKD 3 or higher. We found no correlation between PFOi/o and PFOw (R2 = 0.015, p = 0.531). A higher PFOw was observed in AKI stage 2 or 3 (p = 0.005) and in patients requiring dialysis (p = 0.001). On multivariate analysis, each percentage increase in PFOw was associated with increased odds of AKI stage 2 or 3 (odds ratio 1.37 [95% CI 1.05-1.78], p = 0.020) and dialysis need (odds ratio 1.69 [95% CI 1.20-2.39], p = 0.003). Twenty-nine patients had complete quantitative data to calculate PFOi/o. Multivariate analysis of these 29 patients showed that PFOw correlated with AKI stage 2 or 3 and dialysis requirement, while PFOi/o had no correlation with these events. The area under the curve receiver operating characteristics of PFOw was 0.706 for AKI stage 2 or 3 and 0.819 for AKI requiring dialysis. The optimal PFOw cutoff was determined at ≥1%. Three deaths occurred within 90 days, and all had PFOw ≥ 1%, although the log-rank test did not achieve statistical significance (p = 0.050).
The proposed PFOw is a potential prognostic indicator for general ward patients with AKI. PFOw ≥ 1% is associated with poor renal outcomes.
伴有液体超负荷的急性肾损伤(AKI)与不良预后相关。虽然使用摄入量/输出量图表(PFOi/o)计算的液体超负荷百分比(PFO)已被验证为超负荷的标志物,但在普通病房中可能无法进行准确的 PFOi/o 测量。我们提出了一种替代的基于体重的 PFO 计算方法:PFOw = [(最大体重 - 基线体重) ÷ 基线体重] × 100%。
这是一项在普通病房 AKI 患者中进行的前瞻性、观察性试点研究,这些患者被转介接受肾脏病学咨询。比较了 PFOw 与 PFOi/o,并评估了两者与透析需求、AKI 2 或 3 期和 90 天死亡率的相关性。
共纳入 58 例中位年龄为 67.5 岁(四分位距 18.0)的患者。其中,33 例(56.9%)为男性,41 例(70.7%)患有预先存在的 CKD 3 期或更高分期。我们发现 PFOi/o 与 PFOw 之间没有相关性(R2 = 0.015,p = 0.531)。在 AKI 2 或 3 期(p = 0.005)和需要透析的患者中,PFOw 较高(p = 0.001)。多变量分析显示,PFOw 每增加一个百分点,AKI 2 或 3 期的发生几率就会增加 1.37 倍(95%CI 1.05-1.78,p = 0.020),需要透析的几率也会增加 1.69 倍(95%CI 1.20-2.39,p = 0.003)。29 例患者有完整的定量数据可用于计算 PFOi/o。对这 29 例患者的多变量分析显示,PFOw 与 AKI 2 或 3 期和透析需求相关,而 PFOi/o 与这些事件无关。PFOw 的 AKI 2 或 3 期和需要透析的曲线下面积接收者操作特征曲线的 AUC 分别为 0.706 和 0.819。确定 PFOw 的最佳截断值为≥1%。90 天内有 3 例死亡,均有 PFOw ≥ 1%,尽管对数秩检验未达到统计学意义(p = 0.050)。
本研究提出的 PFOw 可能是普通病房 AKI 患者的一种潜在预后指标。PFOw ≥ 1%与不良肾脏结局相关。
