Description
Summary:Background This study aimed to discuss the diagnostic value of multi-parameter ultrasound evaluation in sepsis complicated with acute kidney injury (AKI).Methods Patients were divided into an AKI group (n = 50) and a non-injury group (n = 50) based on the presence of AKI. The clinical characteristics were collected, and renal function parameters between the two groups were compared, including 24-h urine volume, serum creatinine, urea, serum cystatin C (CysC), renal parenchymal thickness (RPT), renal artery resistance index (RI), and multi-parameter ultrasound scoring (MPUS). Additionally, logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the influencing factors of sepsis complicated with AKI. The prediction value was evaluated using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results In the AKI group, creatinine, CysC, urea, MPUS score, RPT, and RI values were significantly higher, while the 24-h urine volume was lower than those in the non-injury group (p < 0.01). Moreover, multivariate logistic analysis indicated that high CysC and RI values were independent risk factors, whereas high 24-h urine volume and low MPUS were independent protective factors for sepsis-induced AKI. The ROC curve demonstrated that RI (AUC = 0.906) was more effective than 24-h urine volume (AUC = 0.797), CysC (AUC = 0.730), and MPUS (AUC = 0.794) in identifying sepsis-induced AKI.Conclusion High RI values increase the risk of sepsis-induced AKI, whereas low MPUS may reduce it. RI showed high diagnosis values for sepsis complicated with AKI.
