ARF is a common problem in clinical practice&#44; whether in outpatient or in-patient medicine&#44; and with respect to the latter&#44; it is present across all sections&#44; in medical&#44; surgical and intensive care units &#40;ICU&#41;&#46; At present&#44; nephrologists in many centres share this disease and its treatment with other specialties&#44; including Internal Medicine &#40;pre-renal ARF and acute tubular necrosis &#91;ATN&#93;&#41;

it is becoming increasingly frequent to find several of these drugs implicated simulaneously in cases of acute renal failure&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In this series&#44; the most frequent aetiology was pre-renal&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">11&#44;17</span> with renal hypoperfusion or decreased cardiac output as the emerging physiopathological mechanism&#59; it is very likely that this aetiology will increase in the coming years&#46; Within the parenchymatous aetiology group&#44; ATN was the most frequent cause&#44; and a sizeable proportion of that subgroup was due to nephrotoxicity from drugs&#44; particularly aminoglucosides&#46; It is therefore necessary to insist once more on adjusting doses according to renal function&#44; controlling levels&#44; and identifying risk factors that favour a drug&#191;s toxicity to the kidneys&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span> The incidence rate for obstructive ARF is lower than in other series&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">19</span> and its most common aetiological subgroup is that of tumour origin&#46;

patients with serious diseases that suggest a rapid decline&#41;&#46; However&#44; two recent studies that describe the epidemiogical and prognostic evolution of ARF throughout the last decade point to a recrease in the disease&#191;s mortality rate although an increased number of ARF episodes were observed during that period&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">6&#44;7 </span>As we described previously&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">25-27</span> mortality rates are significantly lower among patients who are admitted to the Nephrology division&#46;

to a more precise initial diagnosis permitting better treatment&#46; Once again&#44; associated comorbidity and the development of oliguria appear as prognostic factors for mortality&#46; It is being debated whether or not advanced age is a mortality index in published studies on that topic&#46; Some found a clear correlation&#59;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">11&#44;14&#44;21&#44;31</span> others have not shown that it has weight as an isolated factor&#44; although it may have when associated with underlying disease&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">29&#44;32-34</span> In our sample&#44; we did not observe a higher mortality rate among the older patients&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">However&#44; comorbidity &#40;measured using the CCI&#41; appears to be a determining factor for mortality&#44; and it is significantly higher in this patient group&#46; This supports the importance of the connection between advanced age and associated disease as a mortality risk factor&#46; As described in the literature&#44; the mortality was higher in the population that required admission to the ICU&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">29&#44;30&#44;35</span> Inflammation and malnutrition data were significantly present in the patients who died&#46;

we have developed a predictive model in which a patient with a CCI higher than 5 &#40;top quartile&#58; 4 points&#41;&#44; oliguria &#40;3 points&#41; and cholesterol levels below 105mg&#47;dl &#40;2 points&#41;&#44; would total 9 points for a mortality risk of 100&#37;&#46; Meanwhile&#44; a patient with a CCI below 2 &#40;bottom quartile&#58; 1 point&#41;&#44; with no oliguria and cholesterol levels above 105mg&#47;dl&#44; totalling 1 point&#44; would have a mortality risk of 12&#37; during an ARF episode&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">These data show that baseline comorbidity&#44; the development of oliguria and malnutrition&#47;inflammation data are important prognostic factors&#46; Nephrologists are assessing an increasing number of ARF episodes in older patients&#44; and more particularly&#44; in patients with significant associated comorbidity&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">36</span> This baseline complexity may be more important factor in determining the global prognosis for ARF &#40;recovery of renal function&#44; mortality&#41; than those factors related to the renal failure episode itself &#40;duration&#44; aetiology&#44; analytical values&#44; etc&#46;&#41;&#46; Apart from this patient group&#44; we also have the patients admitted to the ICU &#40;26 in our study&#44; and therefore&#44; not very representative of this population&#41;&#46; ICU patients are younger&#44; frequently with associated cardiovascular collapse &#40;oliguria&#44; arterial hypotension&#41; and with more inflammation &#40;increased CRP and decreased prealbumin&#41;&#46; In the ARF prognosis for these patients&#44; it is likely that baseline comorbidity would be less important than the inherent seriousness of the episode itself&#46; A prospective study published by Lia&#241;o et al&#46; in 2007 covered a long-term follow-up on 187 patients who had developed ATN and established that evolution following ARF was better in young patients with no associated comorbidity and in those who were admitted with multiple trauma&#44; surgical pathology or requiring a stay in the ICU&#46; Renal function during follow-up was normal in 81&#37; of the patients&#46; The delayed mortality rate was high and related to the underlying disease&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">37</span> These long-term follow-up data show similar results to those that we suggest for the acute phase of renal failure&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Our new social health situation &#40;increasingly older patients with significant associated comorbidity&#41; may require a new approach for the ARF patient&#44; which should not be limited to purely renal factors &#40;uraemic or hydroelectrolytic metabolism&#41;&#46; Rather&#44; it should consider the patient&#191;s associated comorbidity with a view to making preventative&#44;

ARF is a common problem in clinical practice&#44; whether in outpatient or in-patient medicine&#44; and with respect to the latter&#44; it is present across all sections&#44; in medical&#44; surgical and intensive care units &#40;ICU&#41;&#46; At present&#44; nephrologists in many centres share this disease and its treatment with other specialties&#44; including Internal Medicine &#40;pre-renal ARF and acute tubular necrosis &#91;ATN&#93;&#41; and Intensive Care units &#40;ARF in the critically ill&#44; continuous extracorporeal dialysis techniques&#41;&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">ARF is defined as a syndrome that arises from a rapid decrease in glomerular filtration rate&#44; over hours or days&#44; that presents as an increase in blood concentrations of nitrogenised products &#40;urea&#44; creatinine&#44; etc&#46;&#41; with alterations in fluid and electrolyte homeostasis&#46; The lack of simpler&#44; more specific renal damage markers explains why there are more than 30 definitions of ARF&#44; which make comparing different studies difficult&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span> Recent articles focussing on analysing the concept of ARF have not proposed any definitions&#44;

which is significantly less than that described in other series&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">19&#44;22-24</span> These differences may be related with ARF episodes that are not evaluated by our Department &#40;ARF in the ICU&#44; patients with serious diseases that suggest a rapid decline&#41;&#46; However&#44; two recent studies that describe the epidemiogical and prognostic evolution of ARF throughout the last decade point to a recrease in the disease&#191;s mortality rate although an increased number of ARF episodes were observed during that period&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">6&#44;7 </span>As we described previously&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">25-27</span> mortality rates are significantly lower among patients who are admitted to the Nephrology division&#46; On the one hand&#44; this could be due to the aetiological differences in renal failure according to the unit admitting&#59; it could also be due&#44; as Feest&#44; Round and Haman&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span> Lia&#241;o<span class="elsevierStyleSup">19</span> and other authors<span class="elsevierStyleSup">28-30</span> suggest&#44; to a more precise initial diagnosis permitting better treatment&#46; Once again&#44; associated comorbidity and the development of oliguria appear as prognostic factors for mortality&#46; It is being debated whether or not advanced age is a mortality index in published studies on that topic&#46; Some found a clear correlation&#59;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">11&#44;14&#44;21&#44;31</span> others have not shown that it has weight as an isolated factor&#44; although it may have when associated with underlying disease&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">29&#44;32-34</span> In our sample&#44; we did not observe a higher mortality rate among the older patients&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">However&#44; comorbidity &#40;measured using the CCI&#41; appears to be a determining factor for mortality&#44; and it is significantly higher in this patient group&#46; This supports the importance of the connection between advanced age and associated disease as a mortality risk factor&#46; As described in the literature&#44; the mortality was higher in the population that required admission to the ICU&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">29&#44;30&#44;35</span> Inflammation and malnutrition data were significantly present in the patients who died&#46; In the logistical regression analysis&#44; the factors best explaining mortality were the CCI&#44; the development of oliguria and the serum cholesterol levels&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">With these data&#44; we have developed a predictive model in which a patient with a CCI higher than 5 &#40;top quartile&#58; 4 points&#41;&#44; oliguria &#40;3 points&#41; and cholesterol levels below 105mg&#47;dl &#40;2 points&#41;&#44; would total 9 points for a mortality risk of 100&#37;&#46; Meanwhile&#44; a patient with a CCI below 2 &#40;bottom quartile&#58; 1 point&#41;&#44; with no oliguria and cholesterol levels above 105mg&#47;dl&#44; totalling 1 point&#44; would have a mortality risk of 12&#37; during an ARF episode&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">These data show that baseline comorbidity&#44; the development of oliguria and malnutrition&#47;inflammation data are important prognostic factors&#46; Nephrologists are assessing an increasing number of ARF episodes in older patients&#44; and more particularly&#44; in patients with significant associated comorbidity&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">36</span> This baseline complexity may be more important factor in determining the global prognosis for ARF &#40;recovery of renal function&#44; mortality&#41; than those factors related to the renal failure episode itself &#40;duration&#44; aetiology&#44; analytical values&#44; etc&#46;&#41;&#46; Apart from this patient group&#44; we also have the patients admitted to the ICU &#40;26 in our study&#44; and therefore&#44; not very representative of this population&#41;&#46; ICU patients are younger&#44; frequently with associated cardiovascular collapse &#40;oliguria&#44; arterial hypotension&#41; and with more inflammation &#40;increased CRP and decreased prealbumin&#41;&#46; In the ARF prognosis for these patients&#44; it is likely that baseline comorbidity would be less important than the inherent seriousness of the episode itself&#46; A prospective study published by Lia&#241;o et al&#46; in 2007 covered a long-term follow-up on 187 patients who had developed ATN and established that evolution following ARF was better in young patients with no associated comorbidity and in those who were admitted with multiple trauma&#44; surgical pathology or requiring a stay in the ICU&#46; Renal function during follow-up was normal in 81&#37; of the patients&#46; The delayed mortality rate was high and related to the underlying disease&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">37</span> These long-term follow-up data show similar results to those that we suggest for the acute phase of renal failure&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Our new social health situation &#40;increasingly older patients with significant associated comorbidity&#41; may require a new approach for the ARF patient&#44; which should not be limited to purely renal factors &#40;uraemic or hydroelectrolytic metabolism&#41;&#46; Rather&#44; it should consider the patient&#191;s associated comorbidity with a view to making preventative&#44; diagnostic and therapeutic decisions&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In conclusion&#44; the patients who were examined by the Nephrology Division in our hospital while suffering an ARF episode can be described as follows&#58; 1&#41; they required a longer stay that described in other series&#59; 2&#41; the development of oliguria and arterial hypotension&#44; and data showing malnutrition&#47;inflammation were present for patients who were admitted to the ICU&#59; 3&#41; 18&#46;5&#37; required kidney replacement therapy&#44; which was related to parenchymatous aetiology&#44; the development of oliguria and arterial hypotension and the presence of inflammation&#47;malnutrition data&#59; 4&#41; 70&#46;6&#37; recovered their renal function&#44; and absence of oliguria&#44; lower Cr figures and higher haemoglobin levels were the principal factors determining recovery&#59; and 5&#41; mortality was higher in the group with the most baseline clinical complexity &#40;highest CCI&#41;&#44; in those that developed oliguria &#40;resulting in more cardiovascular damage&#41; and in those with lower cholesterol levels &#40;MIA syndrome&#41;&#46; These data reflect the change in the type of population that nephrologists are treating with increasing frequency&#46;<br></br></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><a href="grande&#47;41518078&#95;t1&#95;pag433&#46;jpg" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><img src="41518078_t1_pag433.jpg" alt="Characteristics of patients with ARF&#46;
