ABSTRACT
Ketorolac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, is used in combination with opioids to manage vaso-occlusive episodes (VOEs). The relationship between ketorolac use and kidney injury in pediatric patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) remains incompletely understood. We hypothesize that ketorolac is associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with SCD presenting with pain. All nonsurgical hospitalizations for VOEs treated with ketorolac between January 2014 and December 2022 were included. We used optimal matching methodology to identify control admissions (21 ratio) and used nonparametric tests to compare ketorolac administration between cases and controls. A total of 1319 encounters/253 patients were included in this study. AKI was noted in 1.1% of encounters and 5.5% of patients. Cases had significantly higher initial BUN than controls (9.0 vs. 6.0 mg/dL, P =0.012). In cases versus controls, there was significantly lower serum sodium (136.0 vs. 138.0 mmol/L, P =0.021). There was no association between ketorolac dose and development of AKI among children with SCD. Higher BUN and lower sodium in cases suggest that patients with AKI were more volume depleted on admission than controls. This highlights the need for strict assessment of fluid status upon admission for VOE.
