Association between serum glucose/potassium ratio and acute kidney injury in patients with traumatic brain injury: based on MIMIC-IV database

Key Points

• This research aims to explore the relationship between serum glucose/potassium ratio and the risk of acute kidney injury in patients with traumatic brain injury.
• Analyzed data from the MIMIC-IV database
• Assessed the association between serum glucose/potassium ratio and acute kidney injury
• Identified possible mediating factors such as fat body (FB)
• Found a significant association between serum glucose/potassium ratio and acute kidney injury risk in traumatic brain injury patients
• Proposed that the glucose/potassium ratio may serve as a new biomarker for assessing acute kidney injury risk
