Acute kidney injury and its outcomes in melioidosis.

CONCLUSIONS: AKI is frequent in melioidosis and occurred in 35.9% of our cases. Hyponatremia is likewise common. AKI was predicted by bacteraemia and CKD, and was associated with higher mortality and need for ICU care; however kidney function recovery was observed in survivors.
