Abstract
Background: The purpose of this study was to clarify the incidence, risk factors, and clinical outcomes of septic acute kidney injury (AKI) in cancer patients with sepsis admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Methods: = 77). The clinical data after ICU admission were compared between the above two groups, and the risk factors and the clinical outcomes of septic AKI in the ICU were identified. Results: The incidence of septic AKI in all patients was 21.6% (77/356). LASSO regression and logistic regression all showed that lactate, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score and septic shock were closely related to the occurrence of septic AKI. In terms of clinical outcomes after ICU admission, the rate of mechanical ventilation (MV) and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), MV time, hospitalization time and 28-day mortality in the ICU were significantly higher in the septic AKI group than in the non-septic AKI group. Among the three subgroups of septic AKI (AKI combined with septic shock, septic cardiac dysfunction or acute respiratory failure), the mortality of patients in the subgroup of AKI combined with septic shock was significantly higher than others. CRRT has no significant effect on the short-term outcome of these patients. Conclusion: Lactate level, SOFA score and septic shock were closely related to the occurrence of septic AKI in the ICU. The clinical outcomes within 28 days after ICU admission of cancer patients with septic AKI were worse than those without septic AKI. The short-term outcome was worse in patients with septic AKI complicated with septic shock. CRRT does not have any significant effect on the short-term prognosis of cancer patients with septic AKI in the ICU.
