ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Deterioration of renal function in cirrhotic patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a predictor for inhospital mortality. However, the clinical significance of renal dysfunction during bacterial infection other than SBP is unknown.AIM:
To investigate the prevalence and clinical significance of renal dysfunction due to bacterial infections other than SBP in patients with liver cirrhosis.METHODS:
Retrospective data from in-patients with bacterial infections other than SBP were analyzed.RESULTS:
Eighty-two patients were recruited for the analysis. Infection was located in urinary tract (41.5%), pneumonia (34.1%), biliary tract (3.7%), cellulitis (6.1%), gastrointestinal tract (4.9%) and bacteremia of unknown origin (9.7%). Renal dysfunction developed in 40 patients (48.8%), of which 13 patients had irreversible renal dysfunction. In the univariate and multivariate analysis, the initial MELD score, neutrophil count, bilirubin, and blood pressure were significant risk factors for renal dysfunction.CONCLUSION:
The prevalence of renal dysfunction during bacterial infection other than SBP in patients with liver cirrhosis was 48.8%, and its development was related to the severity of the liver disease. Occurrence of irreversible renal dysfunction seemed to affect the prognosis of these patients.
