Mortality and predictors of acute kidney injury in adults: a hospital-based prospective observational study

Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major global public health problem. It is expensive to manage and associated with a high rate of prolonged hospitalization and in-hospital mortality. Little is known about the burden of acute kidney injury in moderate to low-income countries. We aim to assess...

Stage 3 AKI (AHR = 9.61, 95% CI 1.17–28.52, p = 0.035), duration of AKI (AHR = 7.04, 95% CI 1.37–36.08, p = 0.019), length of hospital stay (AHR = 0.19, 95% CI 0.05–0.73, p = 0.012), and hyperkalemia (AHR = 3.61, 95% CI 1.12–11.71, p = 0.032) were significantly associated with in-hospital mortality.
