Abstract:

Objective To explore the relationship between lactate dehydrogenase to albumin ratio (LAR) and short?term prognosis in patients with sepsis?associated acute kidney injury (AKI). Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 463 sepsis patients treated in the intensive care unit (ICU) of Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University, from January 2018 to June 2022. The patients were divided into two groups: a group with secondary AKI (AKI group) and the one without acute kidney injury (non?AKI group). Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA), and levels of procalcitonin (PCT), C?reactive protein (CRP), serum creatinine (SCr), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and albumin (ALB) were compared between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine prognostic factors for sepsis?associated acute kidney injury, and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to assess the predictive value of APACHE Ⅱ score, SOFA score, PCT, SCr, and lactate dehydrogenase to albumin ratio (LAR) for short?term prognosis of sepsis?associated acute kidney injury. Results The 28?day mortality rate in the non?AKI group was lower than that in the AKI group, and the length of stay in ICU was shorter in the non?AKI group than in the AKI group (P < 0.05). APACHE Ⅱ score, SOFA score, PCT, SCr and LAR were independent influencing factors for 28?days death in patients with sepsis?associated acute kidney injury. The ROC curve analysis showed that LAR level had a higher predictive value for short?term prognosis in patients with sepsis?associated AKI as compared with APACHE Ⅱ score, SOFA score, PCT, and SCr. Conclusions LAR is an independent risk factor for sepsis?associated AKI and is associated with 28?day mortality in patients.
