Year: 2019

Type: conference-abstract

Abstract: Acute kidney injury (AKI) in severely burned patients are associated with significance morbidity and mortality. Generally, the incidence of AKI is 30% with up to 80% mortality following severe burn. The causes of AKI in burn are multi factorial with notable difference between early and late AKI. Early identification and recognition of patients at risk are the key factors for the correct fluid and volume resuscitations. The Burns Unit will begin fluid resuscitation for burns of TBSA >15%. The aim of this study is to ascertain AKI prevalence and ultimately long term kidney functions in the burn population of TBSA >15%.
