First 24-Hour Potassium Concentration and Variability and Association with Mortality in Patients Requiring Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy in Intensive Care Units: A Hospital-Based Retrospective Cohort Study
Serum potassium (K+) levels between 3.5 and 5.0 mmol/L are considered safe for patients. The optimal serum K+ level for critically ill patients with acute kidney injury undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) remains unclear. This retrospective study investigated the association betwe...

description | Serum potassium (K+) levels between 3.5 and 5.0 mmol/L are considered safe for patients. The optimal serum K+ level for critically ill patients with acute kidney injury undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) remains unclear. This retrospective study investigated the association between ICU mortality and K+ levels and their variability. Patients aged >20 years with a minimum of two serum K+ levels recorded during CRRT who were admitted to the ICU in a tertiary hospital in central Taiwan between January 01, 2010, and April 30, 2021 were eligible for inclusion. Patients were categorized into different groups based on their mean K+ levels: <3.0, 3.0 to <3.5, 3.5 to <4.0, 4.0 to <4.5, 4.5 to <5.0, and ≥5.0 mmol/L; K+ variability was divided by the quartiles of the average real variation. We analyzed the association between the particular groups and in-hospital mortality by using Cox proportional hazard models. We studied 1991 CRRT patients with 9891 serum K+ values recorded within 24 h after the initiation of CRRT. A J-shaped association was observed between serum K+ levels and mortality, and the lowest mortality was observed in the patients with mean K+ levels between 3.0 and 4.0 mmol/L. The risk of in-hospital death was significantly increased in those with the highest variability (HR and 95% CI = 1.61 [1.13–2.29] for 72 h mortality; 1.39 [1.06–1.82] for 28-day mortality; 1.43 [1.11–1.83] for 90-day mortality, and 1.31 [1.03–1.65] for in-hospital mortality, respectively). Patients receiving CRRT may benefit from a lower serum K+ level and its tighter control. During CRRT, progressively increased mortality was noted in the patients with increasing K+ variability. Thus, the careful and timely correction of dyskalemia among these patients is crucial. |
