CJASN: Kidney damage increases the risk of death.

, June 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- A new study from the University of Cincinnati --- shows that acute kidney injury (AKI) leads to a higher risk of death in the first six months than kidney failure caused by diabetes or other causes, while women have an even higher risk of deathWHEN THE KIDNEYS STOP WORKING PROPERLY, AKI OCCURS, AND ITS SYMPTOMS RANGE FROM MILD RENAL LOSS TO TOTAL FAILUREAKI is usually a complication of another serious diseaseThe UC study highlights the need to develop customized treatment strategies for factors that enhance kidney recovery(picture:
the study, published in the journal Clinical Journal of American Society, found a 35 percent rate of kidney recovery in patients with kidney failure caused by AKIWomen were 14 percent less likely to recover their kidneys than menBlacks, Asians, Hispanics and Native Americans are less likely to recover than whites"
Kidney failure due to AKI is associated with high morbidity and mortality," said lead author DrSilvi Shah of the study"There is not enough data on AKI's recovery model and its impact on the outcomeof dialysis patientsSo, in this study, we looked at the relationship between kidney failure due to AKI and all causes of death, as well as the relationship between gender, race and kidney recovery"
the study evaluated more than 1 million dialysis patients using U.Skidney data data from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2014The average age of the study team was 63, and 3 percent of patients who started long-term dialysis had kidney failure caused by AKI The renal failure caused by AKI was associated with a higher mortality rate in the first three months of dialysis and the first three to six months, compared to renal failure caused by diabetes 35 percent of patients with kidney failure caused by AKI eventually regained renal function and 95 percent of their kidney function within 12 months Women are 14 percent less likely than men to recover their kidneys Blacks, Asians, Hispanics and Native Americans are less likely to recover than whites "This study shows the need for customized treatment strategies for patients with renal failure caused by AKI, with particular attention to factors that promote kidney recovery," the authors said " (Bio Valley Bioon.com) source: Mortality rates higher following the, research finds
