ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in acute pancreatitis (AP) patients, but the risk factors are not clear.

Research motivation

This study tried to explore the associated risk factors of AKI in AP patients.

Research objectives

This study aimed to assess the influences of AKI on the survival rate in AP patients.

Research methods

Patients were divided into two groups based on AKI status, and comparisons between the groups were calculated for diverse variables.

Research results

AKI is more likely to occur in male AP patients.

Research conclusions

AP patients with AKI exhibited lower survival rate and worse relevant clinical outcomes than AP patients without AKI in SICU.

Research perspectives

This study provided clinical evidence for prevention of AKI in AP patients.
