Abstrakt: Background: Patients who develop acute kidney injury (AKI) have a 2-fold increased risk for major adverse events within 1 year. An estimated 19-26% of all cases of hospital-acquired AKI may be attributable to drug-induced kidney disease (DIKD). Patients evaluated in the emergency department (ED) are often prescribed potentially nephrotoxic drugs, yet the role of ED prescribing in DIKD is unknown.
Objective: We sought to measure the association between ED medication administration and development of AKI.
Methods: This was a retrospective 5-year cohort analysis at a single center. Patients with a serum creatinine measurement at presentation in the ED and 24-168 h later were included. Outcome was incidence of AKI as defined by Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes criteria in the 7 days after ED evaluation. Medication administration risk was estimated using Cox proportional hazards model.
Results: There were 46,965 ED encounters by 30,407 patients included in the study, of which 6461 (13.8%) patients met the criteria for AKI. For hospitalized patients, administration of a potentially nephrotoxic medication was associated with increased risk of AKI (hazard ratio [HR] 1.30 [95% confidence interval {CI} 1.20-1.41]). Diuretics were associated with the largest risk of AKI (HR 1.64 [95% CI 1.52-1.78]), followed by angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (HR 1.39 [95% CI 1.26-1.54]) and antibiotics (HR 1.13 [95% CI 1.05-1.22]). For discharged patients, administration of antibiotics was strongly associated with increased risk of AKI (HR 3.19 [95% CI 1.08-9.43]).
Conclusion: ED administration of potentially nephrotoxic medications was associated with an increased risk of AKI in the following 7 days. Diuretics, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and antibiotics were independently associated with increased risk of AKI. Nephroprotective practices in the ED may mitigate kidney injury and long-term adverse outcomes.
