Background: Dysregulated mineral metabolism especially phosphate levels, is relatively well characterized in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Emerging evidens showing that dysregulated mineral metabolism in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) were identical with CKD pateints.
Objective: To assess the correlation between phosphate level and severity of acute kidney injury (AKI).
Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on 53 AKI patients from June to August 2015 at Sanglah Hospital. Severity of AKI was defined by Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcome (KDIGO) criteria. Statistical analysis was performed using spearman correlation.
Result: Among 53 patients, 33 (62,3%) were males and 20 (37,7%) were females, with mean age 42 ± 10,8. There were 25 (47,2%) patients with stage 1 AKI, 12 (22,6%) with stage 2 AKI and 16 (30,2%) with stage 3 AKI. Means phosfate level was 4,7 ± 2,1. There was a strong correlation between phoshate level and severity of AKI (defined by KDIGO) with r = 0,5, p<0.01.
