Abstract 12854: Uric Acid In-hospital Change Provides the Additional Long-Term Prognostic Information to Acute Kidney Injury in Patients Admitted for Acute Decompensated Heart Failure

2015 
Backgrounds: Acute kidney injury (AKI) during heart failure treatment is associated with poor outcome in patients admitted with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). In patients with ADHF,increased uric acid (UA) level is also a prognostic marker, but there is no information available on the long-term prognostic significance of UA in-hospital change, relating to AKI in patients admitted for ADHF. Methods and Results: We studied 237 patients admitted with ADHF and discharged with survival. The measurements of serum UA and creatinine (Cr) levels were repeated during hospitalization, and the change of UA was obtained by subtracting the value at admission or discharge from the maximum value. AKI was defined according to AKI Network criteria (stage 1, ≥0.3mg/dl absolute or 1.5-to 2.0-fold relative increase in Cr; stage 2, >2- to 3-fold increase in Cr; stage 3, >3-fold increase in Cr or Cr≥4.0mg/dl with an acute rise of ≥0.5mg/dl). During a follow-up period of 4.3±3.3 yrs, 59 patients had cardiovascular dea...
