PurposeTo explore the clinicopathological features and analyze the relevant risk factors and short-term renal outcomes of acute tubular injury (ATI) patients.Materials And MethodsA total of 83 patients with biopsy-proven ATI were included in this retrospective cohort study. Clinical characteristic and histological feature data were collected, and renal recovery at 1 month postbiopsy was recorded.ResultsThe severity of renal dysfunction, percentage of acute tubular lesions, interstitial inflammation and fibrosis of oliguric ATI patients were all significantly higher than those of nonoliguric patients. In the subgroup analysis of the oliguric patients, the serum creatinine and urinary microalbumin levels, severity of epithelial cell degeneration and cast formation of patients in the polyuric phase at biopsy were significantly lower than those of patients in the oliguric phase. A total of 59 patients had 1-month follow-up records, and complete renal recovery was observed in 42 patients. In the multivariate analysis, the total acute tubular injury area at biopsy was the most important independent risk factor for poor renal outcomes.ConclusionsOliguric ATI patients had severe clinicopathological conditions. The severity of tubular lesions seriously influenced renal function recovery, demonstrating the importance of renal biopsy in assessing the prognosis of patients with kidney disease.Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
