Objective:
To investigate the association between early blood pressure drop and worsening renal function (WRF) in ICU patients with liver failure and to evaluate their clinical outcomes.
Design:
Retrospective observational study.
Setting:
Intensive Care Medicine.
Patients:
Patients admitted to the ICU for the first time during their first hospitalization; diagnosed with liver failure according to the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth and Tenth Revision codes; and aged ≥18 years were included. Patients with a peak systolic blood pressure (SBP) drop of <0 mmHg were excluded.
Intervention:
We analyzed data of ICU patients with liver failure from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV version 2.2 database. Descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, Kruskal-Wallis test, and chi-square test were employed for analysis. Multivariate linear regression models were used to assess the determinants of blood pressure decline. Cox proportional hazards and generalized additive models were used to evaluate MAIN VARIABLES OF INTEREST: The relationship between blood pressure decline, WRF, and 60-day in-hospital mortality were evaluated, along with subgroup analyses.
Results:
Peak SBP drop was independently associated with higher risks of WRF (P < 0.001) and 60-day in-hospital mortality (P < 0.001), even after adjusting for potential confounders, including baseline SBP. The independent risk relationship observed between peak diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure drop, and the occurrence of WRF and 60-day in-hospital mortality was similar.
Conclusions:
In ICU patients with liver failure, a significant early drop in blood pressure was associated with a higher incidence of WRF, increased risk of 60-day in-hospital mortality, and poorer prognoses.

01:11Renal Failure: Dose Adjustments
Reduced renal clearance and elimination rate are common outcomes of renal impairment. These alterations lead to a prolonged elimination half-life and an altered apparent volume of distribution for drugs. As a result, dosage adjustments are typically necessary to maintain optimal drug levels in the body.
However, dosage adjustments...
01:17Factors Affecting Renal Clearance: Renal Impairment
One condition associated with renal failure is uremia. Uremia is characterized by impaired glomerular filtration and fluid accumulation in the body. This condition hinders the renal clearance of drugs, resulting in drug accumulation and potential...

Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
