We also investigated which minimally invasive hemodynamic parameters may help identify patients at risk for sepsis-AKI. We included 71 patients with sepsis and septic shock. We performed the initial fluid resuscitation using local protocols and continued to give fluids guided by the minimally invasive hemodynamic parameters. We assessed the hemodynamic status by transpulmonary thermodilution technique. Sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA score) (AUC 0.74, 95% CI 0.61\u20130.83, p &lt; 0.01) and cardiovascular SOFA (AUC 0.73, 95% CI 0.61\u20130.83, p &lt; 0.01) were found to be predictors for sepsis-induced AKI, with cut-off values of 9 and 3 points respectively. Persistent low stroke volume index (SVI) \u2264 32 mL\/m2\/beat (AUC 0.67, 95% CI 0.54\u20130.78, p &lt; 0.05) and global end-diastolic index (GEDI) &lt; 583 mL\/m2 (AUC 0.67, 95% CI 0.54\u20130.78, p &lt; 0.05) after the initial fluid resuscitation are predictive for oliguria\/anuria at 24 h after study inclusion. The combination of higher vasopressor dependency index (VDI, calculated as the (dobutamine dose \u00d7 1 + dopamine dose \u00d7 1 + norepinephrine dose \u00d7 100 + vasopressin \u00d7 100 + epinephrine \u00d7 100)\/MAP) and norepinephrine, lower systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI), and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) levels, in the setting of normal preload parameters, showed a more severe vasoplegia. Severe vasoplegia in the first 24 h of sepsis is associated with a higher risk of sepsis induced AKI. The SOFA and cardiovascular SOFA scores may identify patients at risk for sepsis AKI. Persistent low SVI and GEDI values after the initial fluid resuscitation may predict renal outcome.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm9010151","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,6]],"date-time":"2020-01-06T10:34:46Z","timestamp":1578306886000},"page":"151","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Hemodynamic Predictors for Sepsis-Induced Acute Kidney Injury: A Preliminary Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0183-9815","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Oana","family":"Antal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, \u201cIuliu Ha\u021bieganu\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, No 3-5 Clinicilor Street, Cluj-Napoca, 400005 Cluj, Romania"},{"name":"Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, Cluj Emergency Clinical County Hospital, No 3-5 Clinicilor Street, Cluj-Napoca, 400005 Cluj, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elena","family":"\u0218tef\u0103nescu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, \u201cIuliu Ha\u021bieganu\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, No 3-5 Clinicilor Street, Cluj-Napoca, 400005 Cluj, Romania"},{"name":"Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, Cluj Emergency Clinical County Hospital, No 3-5 Clinicilor Street, Cluj-Napoca, 400005 Cluj, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Monica","family":"Mle\u0219ni\u021be","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, \u201cIuliu Ha\u021bieganu\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, No 3-5 Clinicilor Street, Cluj-Napoca, 400005 Cluj, Romania"},{"name":"Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, Cluj Emergency Clinical County Hospital, No 3-5 Clinicilor Street, Cluj-Napoca, 400005 Cluj, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0038-7084","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrei Mihai","family":"B\u0103lan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, \u201cIuliu Ha\u021bieganu\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, No 3-5 Clinicilor Street, Cluj-Napoca, 400005 Cluj, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7591-4059","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexandra","family":"Caziuc","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, \u201cIuliu Ha\u021bieganu\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, No 3-5 Clinicilor Street, Cluj-Napoca, 400005 Cluj, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Natalia","family":"Hag\u0103u","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, \u201cIuliu Ha\u021bieganu\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, No 3-5 Clinicilor Street, Cluj-Napoca, 400005 Cluj, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"951","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.201502-0329OC","article-title":"Acute Kidney Injury Requiring Dialysis in Severe Sepsis","volume":"192","author":"Sakhuja","year":"2015","journal-title":"Am.
