Occurrence, Associated Factors, and In-Hospital Outcomes of Acute Kidney Injury in Patients Hospitalized with Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State: A Retrospective Analysis of the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (2013-2022).

Key takeaways

This study reviewed 80,557 U.S. hospital stays for a severe high-blood-sugar emergency called hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS), from 2013 to 2022. Sudden kidney injury (acute kidney injury, a fast drop in kidney function) was common and was tied to worse outcomes in the hospital. Because it only looked back at records, it shows a link, not proof that one thing caused the other.
