Acute kidney injury and its associated factors among patients with acute decompensated heart failure admitted to the university of Gondar Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia: a hospital-based cross-sectional study

A quarter of the patients admitted with ADHF developed AKI. Older age; comorbid diabetes mellitus, hypertension, or sepsis; a previous history of AKI; and the use of loop diuretics were associated with the occurrence of AKI. Such clinical characteristics available at hospital admission can be used to identify patients at increased risk for developing AKI.
