Background:
To analyze the relationship between endothelial activation and stress index (EASIX) and the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill cancer patients.
Methods:
Critically ill cancer patients were selected from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV). Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the association between EASIX and the occurrence of AKI in critically ill cancer patients.
Results:
One thousand forty-one cancer patients were retrospectively included, including 607 men and 434 women with mean age of 64.86 ± 13.67 years. Univariate analysis showed that high EASIX levels were associated with an increased risk of AKI occurrence in intensive care unit (ICU) cancer patients (OR: 1.47,95% CI: 1.13-1.91, P < 0.05). After adjusting for other confounders, high EASIX levels remained an independent risk factor predicting the development of AKI (OR: 1.42,95% CI: 1.08-1.88, P < 0.05). Trends in effect sizes were generally consistent across all subgroups in the prespecified subgroup analyses.
Conclusion:
EASIX is an independent risk factor for AKI in critically ill cancer patients. More prospective studies are needed to validate the effect of EASIX on the occurrence of AKI in critically ill cancer patients in the future.

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...
01:27Dialysis
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...
