Serum Procalcitonin Level May Predict Acute Kidney Injury in ICU Patients With Sepsis
Completed
- Conditions
- Acute Kidney Injury
- Interventions
- Diagnostic Test: measure Serum procalcitonin level
- Registration Number
- NCT03097393
- Lead Sponsor
- Benha University
- Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to examine if procalcitonin (PCT) can be used for early prediction of AKI septic patients in ICU.
- Detailed Description
67 patients with sepsis were enrolled in this study. On admission, PCT was measured together with serum creatinine, urea, and other inflammatory markers. Quick Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment was calculated at the emergency department. Patients were classified into those with Acute kidney injury (AKI) and non-AKI groups.
