Association of fibrinogen to albumin ratio with sepsis-associated acute kidney injury: A retrospective cohort study based on the MIMIC-IV database

Key Points

• To evaluate the relationship between fibrinogen to albumin ratio (FAR) and sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI).
• Retrospective cohort study using MIMIC-IV database
• Inclusion of patients without COPD and hypertension
• Assessment of FAR levels in relation to SA-AKI incidence
• Statistical analysis of outcomes based on timing of SA-AKI occurrence
• Elevated FAR levels correlated with higher incidence of SA-AKI
• Statistical significance noted only when SA-AKI occurred post-ICU day 3
• Further research warranted to explore this association further
