Perfil dos exames laboratoriais em pacientes com injúria renal aguda atendidos na emergência: um estudo observacional transversal

Abstract

Introduction: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a common and serious condition in emergency settings. Objective: To assess the profile of laboratory tests and the homogeneity in requests among patients with AKI. Method: Cross-sectional study with 130 patients admitted to the emergency department with a definitive diagnosis of AKI; variables from laboratory tests (Urea, Creatinine, Complete Blood Count, Blood Glucose, Ionogram, AST and ALT, and Triglycerides) were collected. The data were tabulated using Microsoft Excel and analyzed using the SPSS package. Results: Urea 190.33 mg/dL; creatinine 7.71 mg/dL; leukocytes 15,433/μL; variable laboratory requests. Conclusion: The lack of standardization indicates the need for clinical protocols.
