Complicaciones Renales de Shock Séptico

Abstract

Introduction: The importance of renal complications of septic shock lies in their high incidence and significant impact on morbidity and mortality. Renal dysfunction is a common complication in patients with septic shock and is associated with worse clinical outcomes. Literature Review: Renal dysfunction in septic shock is highlighted as being multifactorial, influenced by factors such as reduced renal blood flow, the establishment of a systemic inflammatory state, and the manifestation of endothelial dysfunction. In addition, acute kidney injury is closely associated with a higher mortality rate, complications, and prolonged hospital stay. Intervention strategies such as hemodynamic improvement and the prudent use of nephrotoxic agents are emphasized to prevent acute and chronic renal injury. Conclusion: This literature review underlines the importance of early detection and intervention to prevent and treat renal dysfunction in the context of septic shock. Implementation of management strategies and rigorous monitoring of renal function improve outcomes and reduce morbidity and mortality in this vulnerable clinical population.
