CONCLUSION
In conclusion, approximately 10% of salicylate intoxication patients developed AKI during hospitalization. Development of AKI in a setting of salicylate intoxication was associated with increased in-hospital mortality and organ failure development. Additionally, development of AKI was also found to be associated with increase in resource utilization, length of stay, and hospitalization cost. Chronic kidney disease, sepsis, older age, volume depletion, more recent year of hospitalization, male sex, anemia, ventricular arrhythmia/cardiac arrest, congestive heart failure, and hypertension were found to be associated with an increased risk of developing AKI, and therefore, could be possible predisposing factors.
