Abstrakt: This cross sectional observational study was done in the Department of Medicine, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital (MMCH), Mymensingh, Bangladesh from May 2013 to April 2014 to find out the proportion of acute kidney injury among patients with acute viral hepatitis and to identify risk factors associated with development of acute kidney injury (AKI). A total of 100 patients with acute viral hepatitis were included purposively as study subjects. Among them 61 were male and 39 were female. They were divided into AKI group (n=6) and non-AKI group (n=94) on the basis of development of AKI. There was no significant difference in mean age (39.0±13.1 years vs. 32.2±10.8 years, p=0.335) and sex (67% vs. 61% & 33.0% vs. 39.0%) p=0.769) between AKI group and non-AKI group. There were 27% acute viral hepatitis A, 21% acute viral hepatitis B and 52% acute viral hepatitis E but no case of acute viral hepatitis C was found in this study. Acute kidney injury (AKI) developed in 6 of 27 patients with acute viral hepatitis A. This study showed that 22.2% patients with acute viral hepatitis A developed acute kidney injury but patients with acute viral hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis E (HEV) did not develop acute kidney injury. Majority of the patients with acute kidney injury were smokers and hypertensive with elevated mean arterial pressure (p=0.0001) at presentation and had higher total bilirubin (p=0.0001), alanine aminotranseferase values (p=0.040), prolonged prothrombin time (INR) {p=0.0001}, lower albumin (p=0.0001), lower haematocrit level (p=0.0001), high CRP concentration (p=0.0001), leucocytosis (p=0.0001) and thrombocytopenia (p=0.0001) at presentation than patients without acute kidney injury. It is evident from the study that acute kidney injury is not a rare complication in patients with acute viral hepatitis.
