Abstract: (1964 Views)
Introduction: Acute renal failure (ARF) is one of the relatively incident complications in surgical emergency wards and is defined as increasing serum urea and creatinine and decreasing GRF. In this study we investigated acute renal failure incidence in patients admitted to emergency surgical ward.
Materials and Methods: This is a cross sectional analytical study in which all patients with primary diagnosis of emergency surgery (traumatic or non traumatic) admitted in emergency surgery ward were selected. After history taking and physical assessment patients having history of kidney disease were excluded. Urinalysis, BUN and creatinine tests were performed for all samples. Data was analyzed by SPSS software.
Results: In this study 2100 patients (1280 male) were assessed during a 10 month period. 5.66% of samples had some degree of ARF. 1136 patients undergone surgery due to accidents and trauma (72% multiple trauma and 28% single trauma) and 964 patients due to nontraumatic emergencies. ARF was seen in 6.84% of the first and 4.25% of the second group. ARF incidence in male and female was 5.6% and 5.7% respectively.
Conclusion: The overall incidence of ARF in this study was not so different from developed countries. ARF was significantly more incident in traumatic (especially multiple trauma) and old aged patients. This factors must be considered as ARF risk factors in emergency wards.
