Sepsis, Kidney and Multiple Organ Dysfunction: 3rd International Course on Critical Care Nephrology

Multiple epidemiological studies have established and continue to emphasize
the fact that sepsis is the dominant syndrome in modern Intensive Care
Units. Severe sepsis occurs in approximately 50 to 100 cases/100,000 people/
year and is the most common cause of death in intensive care patients. Severe
sepsis and septic shock are now also the most common cause of kidney failure
in intensive care and the most common cause of severe kidney failure requiring
in general renal replacement therapy. This kind of kidney failure, however, is
rarely seen in isolation. Most commonly, it occurs as part of a syndrome of
multiple organ failure, where the kidney is one of several organ systems that
become profoundly dysfunctional. In this setting, vasodilatory shock is frequent,
mechanical ventilation is frequent and disorders of bone marrow function,
acid-base balance, gastrointestinal activity and cerebral function are
common. Thus, severe sepsis links kidney function, multiple organ function and
patient outcome from the start to the end.
