Association between admission serum phosphate and risk of acute kidney injury in critically ill patients with rhabdomyolysis: A retrospective study based on MIMIC-Ⅲ.
The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) is high in critically ill patients with rhabdomyolysis. Limited evidence was proved of the association between serum phosphate levels at intensive care unit (ICU) admission and the subsequent risk of AKI. Our study aims to assess if serum phosphate levels at admission were independently associated with AKI risk in these patients.
This study extracted and analyzed data from Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-Ⅲ (MIMIC-Ⅲ, version1.4). Rhabdomyolysis was defined as a peak creatine kinase (CK) level higher than 1000 U/L. Serum phosphate was measured within the first day into the ICU and was categorized to 4 groups (<2.6, 2.6-3.4, 3.5-4.5, >4.5mg/dl). AKI was defined according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcome (KDIGO) guidelines. Adjusted smoothing spline plots and multivariable logistic regressions were carried out to explode the association between serum phosphate and risk of AKI. Subgroup analyse was applied to verify the consistency of the association.
Three hundred and twenty-one patients (68% male) diagnosed as rhabdomyolysis were eligible for this analysis. AKI occurred in 204 (64%) patients of total. Incidence of AKI with admission serum phosphate groups<2.6, 2.6-3.4, 3.5-4.5 and>4.5mg/dl were 53%, 57%, 68% and 76%, respectively. Smoothing spline curve showed that there was a positive curve between the elevated phosphate values and increasing risk of AKI, and there was no threshold saturation effect. In multivariable logistic regression, OR was 1.2 (95%CI 1.0-1.5, P=0.035, P trend=0.041) after adjusting confounders. Subgroup analyses proved the consistency of the relationship in these patients, possibly, except in the strata of potassium.
In rhabdomyolysis patients admitted to ICU, serum phosphate levels at admission were independently associated with an increased risk of AKI. As phosphate levels rise, the risk of AKI increased.

Clinical characteristics and risk factors for severe burns complicated by early acute kidney injury.
Early acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent fatal complication of severely burned patients. Although significant progress has been made in fluid resuscitation, intensive care, and renal replacement therapy (RRT) technology in recent years, the incidence and mortality rate in severely burned patients with AKI remains considerable. This study aims to provide theoretical evidence for prevention and treatment by investigating the clinical characteristics and risk factors influencing the incidence and severity of early AKI in severely burned patients.
This 3-year retrospective, single-center study was conducted in critically ill burned patients admitted to the Burn ICU at Guangzhou Red Cross Hospital of Jinan University. Patients whose age is older than 18 years with ≥30% burned total body surface area (TBSA) were enrolled in this study. Those patients who arrived at our burn ICU>72h after injury or died within 48h from arrival were excluded. Data of 128 patients were studied in the final. Demographic and injury details were recorded. KDIGO criteria were used to assess the incidence and severity of early AKI. Factors influencing early AKI were determined using univariate and multiple logistic regression analysis.
Between January 2016 and December 2018, Data from 128 critically ill burned patients were available for analysis. The median age was 44.9±16.8 years; 68.8% of the patients were male. The median TBSA% was 60 (IQR, 41.3-80%). According to the KDIGO criteria, 36 patients (28.3%) developed early AKI, as follows: stage 1 AKI, 69.4% (25/36); stage 2 AKI, 13.9% (5/36); and stage 3 AKI, 16.7% (6/36). The incidence of early AKI was associated with TBSA%, full-thickness TBSA%, abbreviated burn severity index on admission (ABSI), inhalation injury, mechanical ventilation, cardiovascular complications, and rhabdomyolysis. Multiple logistic regression analysis indicate that TBSA% (OR=0.224, p=0.007), full-thickness TBSA% (OR=0.254, p=0.014), ABSI (OR=18.326, p=0.009), and rhabdomyolysis (OR=24.036, p=0.000) were independent risk factors for the occurrence of early AKI. Significant factors influencing the severity of early AKI included full-thickness body surface area burns, electrical burns, and rhabdomyolysis. Full-thickness TBSA% (OR=1.437, p=0.041) and rhabdomyolysis (OR=5.401, p=0.035) are associated with mortality. The risk of death due to the occurrence of AKI was 5.407 in the Cox model adjusted for TBSA%, full-thickness body surface area burns, ABSI and rhabdomyolysis. Three patients died, all of whom had stage 3 AKI, accounting for 8.3% (3/36) of AKI patients. The death rate of stage 3 AKI who did and did not receive early RRT was 33.3% and 66.7%, respectively.
Rhabdomyolysis is an independent risk factor for early AKI and closely related to the severity of early AKI in critically ill burned patients. Although with a high incidence of early AKI in severely burned patients, most of them are mild. Early adequate fluid resuscitation, timely and effective escharotomy, reducing the incidence and severity of rhabdomyolysis, most of them can achieve a relatively good prognosis.
