Résumé

As Odisha is an endemic region for malaria with many acute kidney injury (AKI) cases, this study evaluated the clinical profile and treatment outcomes of patients with malaria complicated by AKI. This prospective observational study was conducted between December 2015 and September 2017. Detailed histories and clinical examinations were recorded. On admission, tests for routine hematology, plasma glucose, liver function, renal function, serum electrolytes, thick smears, thin smears, and malarial parasites were performed. Of the 958 AKI malarial patients admitted, 202 (82.6 % males) were included in the study, with a mean age of 38.37 years. In total, 86.14%, 3.46%, and 10.39% of patients had Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, and mixed malaria, respectively. Headache and decreased urination (83.66% each) were the most common symptoms after fever (100%). Anuria and oliguria were reported in 5.95% and 67.82% of patients, respectively, whereas 26.23% reported a urine output of >400 mL/24 h. All patients had raised serum creatinine and urea levels, and >60% had anemia, proteinuria, and/or hyponatremia. Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome was observed in 62.87% of patients. Acute tubular necrosis was seen in 60% of renal biopsy specimens (n = 15). Of the 75.75% of patients requiring dialysis, 82.12% and 17.88% of patients required hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, respectively, during which 11 patients died. AKI, a serious complication of P. falciparum or P. vivax malaria, is a life-threatening condition. Fever, anemia, oligo/anuria, hepatic involvement, cerebral malaria, high serum creatinine and urea, and disseminated intravascular coagulation were the main predictors of mortality in our study.
