OBJECTIVES: Renal involvement in scrub typhus ranges from simple urinary
abnormalities to acute kidney injury (AKI) leading to death. This study evaluated
the incidence, predictors and prognosis of AKI associated with scrub typhus
according to the RIFLE (risk, injury, failure, loss, end-stage kidney disease)
criteria. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated the medical records of patients
diagnosed with scrub typhus from January 2001 to November 2013 in Gyeongsang
National University Hospital. RESULTS: During the study period, 510 patients were
diagnosed with scrub typhus and the incidence of AKI was 35.9%. There were 132
(25.9%) patients at risk, 37 (7.3%) with injury and 14 (2.7%) with failure. In
comparison with the non-AKI group, the AKI group was older (73.9 vs 63.4?years,
p<0.001) and had more comorbidities such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus and
chronic kidney disease (CKD). AKI frequently occurs in hypertensive patients
taking angiotensin receptor blockers or ACE inhibitors (p=0.002), and in patients
with diabetes with higher glycated haemoglobin levels (p=0.033). Haematuria and
proteinuria were more frequent in the AKI group. There was no relationship
between the severity of proteinuria and occurrence of AKI. Intensive care unit
admission and death were more frequent in the AKI group. The renal function of
most patients with AKI recovered without sequelae, except for 1 patient who had
underlying CKD. Multivariate analysis showed that age, presence of CKD, serum
albumin level and time to hospital presentation after symptom onset were
independent predictors of AKI in patients with scrub typhus. CONCLUSIONS: Our
current results suggest that the presence of underlying CKD, older age, lower
serum albumin level and time to hospital presentation after symptom onset were
important risk factors to determine occurrence of AKI. Whether earlier diagnosis
and treatment in patients with the above risk factors reduce the incidence and
severity of AKI deserves to be investigated.
