Geriatric patients with known acute kidney injury and normal renal function at the time of admittance to the intensive care unit/assessment of RRT requirement and mortality: retrospective case-control study

Abstract

Background The objective of our study was to investigate the renal functions on admittance, chronic disease status, the diagnosis on admittance to the intensive care unit (ICU), need for mechanical ventilation and medication groups and their impact over mortality and renal replacement treatment (RRT) requirement in geriatric patients with and without known acute kidney injury (AKI) at the time of admittance.
