Summary:Objective: To evaluate the evolutionary panorama and prevalence of acute kidney disorders in the intensive care setting. Method: This is a retrospective cohort study conducted with 74 patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) in the central-west region of Brazil. Results: Of the 74 patients, the majority (47.3%) had severe AKI (KDIGO 2 and 3), and 25.7% were classified as KDIGO 1 (less severe); 6 patients (8.1%) developed acute kidney disease (AKD). Factors such as age (p = 0.02); use of vasoactive drugs (VAD) (p = 0.001), specifically norepinephrine (p < 0.001), among others, were associated with the occurrence of more severe AKI. Conclusion: A high prevalence of acute kidney disorders was identified in the ICU, particularly AKI compared to AKD.
