Acute renal failure in combat injuries.

A Iaina, E Reisin, H Eliahou

    The Journal of Trauma
    |April 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Post-combat injury acute renal failure (ARF) in 25 patients resulted in 64% mortality. Severe underlying injuries, not renal failure, were the primary cause, necessitating intensive hemodialysis for survival.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Critical Care Medicine

    Background:

    • Acute renal failure (ARF) is a critical complication following severe trauma.
    • Post-combat injuries present unique challenges in managing ARF.
    • High mortality rates associated with ARF in trauma patients necessitate further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the mortality and clinical characteristics of acute renal failure in patients with post-combat injuries.
    • To compare the severity of ARF in combat casualties versus civilian trauma.
    • To identify factors contributing to mortality in this patient population.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 25 patients with post-combat injury and ARF.
    • Documentation of injury types, comorbidities, and treatment modalities.
    • Assessment of mortality rates, oliguric phase duration, and hemodialysis requirements.

    Main Results:

    • Overall mortality was 64% in patients with post-combat ARF.
    • Abdominal injuries were common (17 patients) with a 64.7% mortality rate.
    • Prolonged oliguria (24.1 days) and extensive hemodialysis (21.6 sessions) were observed in survivors.

    Conclusions:

    • High mortality in post-combat ARF is attributed to the severity of the primary injury, not the renal failure itself.
    • ARF in combat casualties is more severe than in civilian injuries, indicated by prolonged oliguria.
    • Intensive hemodialysis is crucial to prevent deaths from uremia in these critically injured patients.
