Abstract
INTRODUCTION: While patients with diabetes are at higher risk of developing acute kidney injury (AKI), there are few studies on the recurrence of AKI in older adult patients. This study therefore aimed to examine the impact of diabetes on AKI recurrence and long-term outcomes in older male patients. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included older male patients who experienced AKI during hospitalization from July 2007 to August 2011. Medical records of all patients were followed up for 10 years. Patients with AKI were classified into groups with and without diabetes. We analyzed differences in common geriatric comorbidities, AKI recurrence frequency, and severity between the two groups, identified risk factors affecting recurrence frequency, and assessed outcomes. RESULTS: Of all 266 patients, 128 had diabetes and 138 did not. The AKI recurrence rate was significantly higher in the group with diabetes (80.5 vs. 66.7%; P = 0.011). There was a significantly higher proportion of AKI caused by infections in patients with diabetes (43.3 vs. 33.2%, P = 0.006). The proportion of patients with an AKI recurrence frequency ≥ 3 was significantly higher in the group with diabetes (44.7 vs. 29.4%, P = 0.027). Diabetes and coronary heart disease were independent risk factors for AKI recurrence (P < 0.05), diabetes control was associated with multiple AKI recurrences (P = 0.016), and no significant difference was found between the groups regarding the 10-year prognosis (P = 0.522). However, a subgroup analysis showed that patients with multiple AKI recurrences within 2 years had the worst survival outcome (P = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS: Older male patients with diabetes are prone to AKI recurrence after initial onset of AKI. Diabetes is an independent risk factor for AKI recurrence, and active diabetes control (HbA1c < 7%) may thus reduce the recurrence of AKI and improve the very poor outcomes of patients with multiple recurrences of AKI within 2 years.
