Abstract

The research objective was to identify the recovery of the kidney function in patients with acute kidney injury requiring dialysis or not. Prospective and quantitative observational study, developed at an adult general intensive care unit of a public hospital in the Federal District, Brazil, between January and June 2015. The data were collected based on information from the electronic patient history. One hundred and nine patients were monitored, 19 of whom required dialysis and 10 (52.6%) were female, with a mean age of 54±19 years. The group that did not require dialysis consisted of 90 patients, predominantly male with 47 (52.2%) and a mean age of 55±21 years. Among the two groups, the outcomes in the dialysis group were a higher death rate (73.7%; p=0.009) and higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score III (83.0±10.2; p=0.0001). Although the dialysis group accumulates more severe patients, the recovery percentage of the kidney function corresponded to more than 50% of the patients in both groups.
