In 5.4 % (n = 3) of patients in group I and 85.5 % (n = 65) of patients in group II, the development of acute kidney damage was observed. Also, 10.5 % (n = 8) of patients in group II had a history of chronic kidney disease. On the first day of the acute course of burn disease, there was an increase in creatinine level in group II — 84.8 ± 4.2 μmol/L that exceeded the indicators of group I, which were below the norm, — 67.9 ± ± 2.1 μmol/L. Serum urea levels were increased from the first day of burn disease in groups I and II, and reached a maximum on day 14 of the acute phase (p = 0.304 and p = 0.694), respectively. Proteinuria in the studied groups was observed from the first day of burn disease and reached a maximum on day 7 in group I (0.22 ± 0.10 g/l, p = 0.115) and on day 14 in group II (0.2 ± 0.1 g/l, p = 0.069). The rate of daily diuresis during the entire period of burn disease did not change significantly in both groups. <strong><em>Conclusions. </em></strong>The course of severe burn disease in patients is accompanied by the development of renal damage that, together with age, the degree of damage and the presence of concomitant pathologies, leads to high mortality.</p>}, number={7.102}, journal={EMERGENCY MEDICINE}, author={Koval, M.G. and Sorokina, O.Yu. and Tatsyuk, S.V.}, year={2019}, month={Nov.}, pages={52–55} }
