Independent Predictive Ability of Procalcitonin of Acute Kidney Injury among Critically Ill Patients
It is unclear whether serum procalcitonin (PCT) levels rise in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI), and it is also unclear whether the elevation of PCT levels in this setting is independent of the existence of infection and impaired renal clearance. We conducted a retrospective study in a region...

description | It is unclear whether serum procalcitonin (PCT) levels rise in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI), and it is also unclear whether the elevation of PCT levels in this setting is independent of the existence of infection and impaired renal clearance. We conducted a retrospective study in a regional teaching hospital in Taiwan to evaluate the AKI-predictive ability of serum PCT among critically ill patients. We enrolled 330 patients (mean age, 70.5 ± 16.4 years; 57.0% men) who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) from 1 July 2016, to 31 December 2016, and who had serum PCT measurement performed within 24 h after ICU admission. We used the generalized additive model and generalized linear model to evaluate the association of serum PCT levels and renal function variables. In addition, we used the multivariate logistic regression method to demonstrate serum PCT level as an independent predictor of AKI in both the non-infected patients (odds ratio (OR) = 1.38, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.12–1.71, p = 0.003) and the infected patients (OR = 1.23, 95% CI = 1.03–1.46, p = 0.020). In conclusion, serum PCT level at ICU admission is an independent predictor of developing AKI irrespective of infection among critically ill patients. |
