Resumen
Objetivo: Identificar los factores que influyen en los resultados clínicos de pacientes adultos ingresados en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos con lesión renal aguda asociada a sepsis (LRA-AS). Métodos: Revisión de alcance. La búsqueda se realizó en las bases de datos LILACS, PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus y Web of Science. La muestra contiene 19 artículos publicados entre el año 2020 y 2024. Se extrajeron autores, año, país, diseño metodológico y resultados. Posteriormente, se seleccionaron mediante la lectura del título y el resumen y, posteriormente, mediante la lectura completa, con categorización por resultados clínicos. La síntesis de los resultados fue descriptiva. Resultados: Los estudios demostraron que la aparición temprana de LRA-AS, la disfunción renal persistente y una mayor gravedad clínica se asocian con peores resultados clínicos. Factores como alteraciones hemodinámicas, balance hídrico positivo, biomarcadores emergentes, enfermedad renal crónica, obesidad y diferencias metabólicas influyeron significativamente en estos resultados. Se observó una concentración de estudios asiáticos y una ausencia de estudios brasileños. Consideraciones finales: Los hallazgos refuerzan la relevancia del reconocimiento temprano de la LRA-AS y la estratificación continua del riesgo renal. La escasez de estudios nacionales y la heterogeneidad metodológica constituyen limitaciones importantes.
