| dc.description.abstract | Background At least a quarter of patients admitted to the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) will develop Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) and some of these patients receive Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT). The clinical profiles and outcomes of CICU patients receiving RRT in resource constraint settings like South Africa is unknown. Objectives The objectives of this study were to determine the clinical profiles and outcomes of patients receiving RRT in the CICU in a South African Tertiary Centre. Methods In this retrospective study we included consecutive patients admitted and receiving RRT at the Groote Schuur Hospital CICU from 01/01/2012 to 31/12/2016. Results During the study period 3247 patients were admitted to the CICU and 46 received RRT. The RRT patients had a mean (SD) age of 52 (17) years, 56% were males, and 65% had a background history of systemic hypertension. Heart failure syndromes accounted for 60.9% of CICU admission in the RRT patient group, followed by acute coronary syndromes and arrhythmias, which accounted for 26.1% and 13.0% respectively. The RRT patient population had an in-hospital and 30-day mortality of 58.7% and 60.9% respectively. Baseline use of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitor or Angiotensin Receptor Blocker (ARB) was associated with a reduced 30 day mortality, Hazards Ratio (HR) 0.43; 95% Confidence interval (95%CI) 0.20 – 0.93; p = 0.031. In addition, heart failure was associated with an increased 30 day mortality, HR 2.52; 95% CI 1.10 – 5.78; p = 0.029. Conclusion Heart failure syndrome accounts for a majority of RRT patients admitted to the our CICU. Patients receiving RRT in CICU have a high in-hospital and 30-day mortality. | |
