Abstract
AKI is a common complication of near-drowning and is associated with increased in-hospital mortality. Data analysis suggests a predominant role of hypoxic tubular injury due to systemic hypoxemia in ND-AKI, combined with intense sympathetic activity (reflected by tachyarrhythmias, hyperglycemia, and relative hypokalemia) and increased oxygen expenditure for intensified distal tubular sodium transport. Androgen-related reduced renal vasodilatory capacity may explain male gender predominance.
