Prognosis of Sepsis associated acute kidney injury
What are the outcomes associated with sepsis-associated acute kidney injury?
Patients with septic acute kidney injury have a mortality rate of approximately 70% compared to 20% for patients with severe sepsis, or 49% for patients with septic shock in the absence of acute kidney injury.
In addition, septic acute kidney injury is an independent predictor of hospital death.
Acute kidney injury is associated with a doubling in the length of ICU stays.
