Abstract

Introduction: The systemic inflammatory response in critical illness is caused by the release of inflammatory mediators. Microalbuminuria is a reflection of renal endothelial damage secondary to the activation of inflammation. In recent years, the importance of glomerular hyperfiltration (GFR) in critically ill patients suffering from severe trauma has been highlighted.

Objective: To determine the association of albuminuria with glomerular hyperfiltration in critically ill patients admitted to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) after suffering a severe traumatic event.

Methods: Observational study that includes patients admitted to severe trauma Intensive Care. Demographic, analytical and severity variables are collected. The 24-hour urine volume was collected during the first week of admission. As an indicator of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), creatinine clearance (CrCl) was calculated in a 4-hour urine collection sample. The analyzes were performed with the statistical software R version 4.0.4.

Results: 85 patients with a median age of 51 years were included, 78,82% were male, with median ISS of 25 and SOFA at admission of 4. 71.7% had HFG. The incidence of proteinuria was 37.07%, more present in the first 24 hours of admission (50%). 59.52% of the patients who presented microalbuminuria associated HFG.

Conclusions: We found that glomerular hyperfiltration and albuminuria are frequent conditions in critically ill patients hospitalized for severe trauma and it is not demonstrated that the two phenomena are statistically significant. We consider it useful to study the repercussions that these modifications in renal function may have with the dosage of drugs.
