Article Abstract
Background: Despite the clinical importance of sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI), little is known about its epidemiology. We aimed to investigate the incidence and outcomes of SA-AKI, as well as the risk factors for mortality among patients with severe SA-AKI in critically ill patients.
Methods: This secondary multicenter, observational, prospective cohort analysis of sepsis in South Korea evaluated patients aged ≥ 19 years admitted to intensive care units with a diagnosis of sepsis. The primary outcome was the incidence of SA-AKI, defined using the new consensus definition of the Acute Disease Quality Initiative 28 Workgroup. Secondary outcomes were in-hospital mortality and risk factors for in-hospital mortality.
Results: Between September 2019 and December 2022, 5100 patients were admitted to intensive care units with a diagnosis of sepsis, and 3177 (62.3%) developed SA-AKI. A total of 613 (19.3%), 721 (22.7%), and 1843 (58.0%) patients had stage 1, 2, and 3 SA-AKI, respectively. Severe SA-AKI (stages 2 and 3 combined) was associated with an increased risk of in-hospital mortality. Adherence to the fluid resuscitation component of the one-hour sepsis bundle was associated with a decreased risk of in-hospital mortality in severe SA-AKI (adjusted odds ratio, 0.62; 95% confidence interval, 0.48-0.79; P < 0.001).
Conclusions: Of the patients admitted to the intensive care unit for sepsis, 62.3% developed SA-AKI. Severe SA-AKI was associated with an increased risk of mortality. Adherence to the fluid resuscitation component of the one-hour sepsis bundle can potentially improve outcomes in these patients.

Background: Sepsis is a life-threatening response to an infection, often complicated by sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI). Early recognition of SA-AKI is critical but challenged by the limited sensitivity of existing diagnostic markers. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), which regulate key SA-AKI pathways, have shown diagnostic promise, yet their clinical utility in early SA-AKI recognition remains unexplored.

Introduction: Endothelial cells play a central role in the pathophysiology of sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI), yet we have limited understanding of the markers of microvascular-specific response. We therefore employed a translational approach integrating spatially resolved transcriptomics in a mouse SA-AKI model with validation in human kidney tissues and plasma, aiming to define the molecular signature of the endothelial response to SA-AKI in mice and in human patients.
Methods: In this post hoc analysis of prospectively collected data, we identified sepsis-associated target mRNAs and validated their expression via RT-qPCR in distinct renal microvascular compartments isolated by laser microdissection (LMD) from both cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) mice and post-mortem kidney biopsies of SA-AKI patients.
Background: Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) is a commonly encountered complex heterogeneous syndrome in critically ill patients with sepsis. Under the interaction of genotype and pathogenic factors, SA-AKI can lead to various clinical phenotypes and subphenotypes, and this heterogeneity complicates the assessment of the efficacy of treatment measures for sepsis in clinical trials. Early identification of SA-AKI high-risk patients with specific subphenotypes and timely implementation of supportive treatments may improve adverse outcomes for these patients.

In recent years, the relationship between stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) and clinical outcomes in critically ill patients has garnered increasing attention. However, its role in predicting the prognosis of patients with sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify the relationship between SHR and all-cause mortality in patients with SA-AKI.

Sepsis is a major health problem worldwide, and sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) patients usually experience severe conditions, high mortality, and long length of stay. The predictive value of aggregate index of systemic inflammation (AISI) in the prognosis of several diseases has been documented. This study intends to investigate the association between AISI and mortality in SA-AKI.
