Consecutive medial and surgical admissions (2262) were evaluated prospectively to determine the contribution of iatrogenic factors to the development of renal insufficiency in hospital. Of 2216 patients at risk, some degree of renal insufficiency developed in 4.9%. Decreased renal perfusion, postoperative renal insufficiency, radiographic contrast media and aminoglycosides accounted for 79% of the episodes. Iatrogenic factors, broadly defined, accounted for 55% of all episodes. Poor prognostic indicators included oliguria, urine sediment abnormalities and, most importantly, severity of renal insufficiency; with an increase in serum creatinine of .gtoreq. 3 mg/dl, the mortality rate was 64%. Age, admission serum creatinine levels and the number of episodes of renal insufficiency did not significantly affect outcome. Apparently, there is a substantial risk of the development of renal failure in hospital and the mortality rate due to hospital-acquired renal insufficiency remains high.
