Acute Kidney Injury in CCU Patients Increases Mortality and Hospital Stay: Study

Researchers have found that acute kidney injury is a common complication in patients admitted to cardiac care units in low- to middle-income countries, leading to higher short-term mortality and longer hospital stays.

A study published in BMC Nephrology by Rahman A. and colleagues evaluated the incidence, outcomes, and risk factors associated with acute kidney injury among patients receiving cardiac care.

Findings revealed that individuals who developed acute kidney injury had markedly worse outcomes, emphasizing the need for early identification of high-risk patients to enable timely management and reduce complications.

The study highlights the importance of early identification and management of acute kidney injury in cardiac care units.

Author's summary: Acute kidney injury increases mortality and hospital stay in CCU patients.
