Abstract
Introduction - Chronic liver disease (CLD) is a common clinical condition affecting mankind.Its association with the diseases of other important
organs like kidney makes it a more devastating disease. Acute kidney injury (AKI) considerably affects the prognosis and outcome of patients with
CLD, hence it is important to prevent the development of AKI and identify the precipitating factors as early as possible, so that early interventions
can be done.1 A prospective observational study was done on 100 chronic liver disease patients admitted in J. A. group ofMaterial and methods -
hospitals Gwalior, over a period of 22 months from Nov. 2019 to June 2021. Detailed history and physical examination, biochemical and
radiological investigations were performed and data was collected using a standardised proforma. Out of the 100 patients 70 are patientsResults -
are male and 30 are females. Most of the patients belonged to Child - Pugh class C (60%), followed by class B (39%) and class A (1%).Overall,
alcohol was found to be the most common cause of chronic liver disease (59%), followed by hepatitis B virus infection (20%), Hepatitis C virus
infection(6%), NASH related CLD(2%), portal vein thrombosis(5%), Wilson's disease (1%), unknown etiology (7%). In males, the most common
cause of CLD was found to be chronic alcoholism(84.3%), followed by hepatitis B virus infection(8.6%), portal vein thrombosis and NASH related
hepatitis in 2.8% each and Wilson's disease (1.4%). In females most common cause of CLD was found to be hepatitis B virus infection
(46.6%),followed by hepatitis c virus infection (20%), portal vein thrombosis(10%), unknown etiology (23.3%). Ascites (78%) was the most
common sign of hepatic decompensation, followed by pedal edema (67%), jaundice (52%), altered sensorium(20%), GI bleed ( 22%), dilated
abdominal veins(18%), alopecia(10%). palmar erythema ( 8 %) and testicular atrophy(4%). Prevalence of AKI in CLD was found to be 30%, out
of which maximum no. of patients were in AKIN stage 3(48%), frequency of stage 1 & 2 AKI was 26.6% each. The most common cause of AKI in
CLD was found to be sepsis (40%), followed by GI bleed (26.7%), inappropriate use of diuretics (13. 3%), Paracentesis (6.6%)and diarrhea(10%)
severe vomiting ( 3. 3%). The in hospital mortality in the patients who developed AKI was considerably higher (56.6%) than the patients who did
not developed AKI (8.5%), signicant at p <0.05. CLD patients are at increased risk of developing AKI , and mortality rates areConclusion -
signicantly higher in patients of CLD complicated by AKI.
