Objective:To investigate the risk factors of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with severe drug eruption.Methods:Clinical data including basic information (gender, age, body mass index), type of severe drug eruption, allergenic drugs, co-existing diseases, first laboratory findings after admission, renal function during hospitalization, etc. in patients with severe drug eruption admitted to Department of Dermatology, Guangdong Provincial People′s Hospital from January 2014 to December 2020 were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Patients were divided into AKI group and non-AKI group and the clinical data were compared between the 2 groups. The risk factors of AKI in patients with severe drug eruption were analyzed by a binary logistic regression model and the odds ratio ( OR) and its 95% confidence interval ( CI) were calculated. Results:A total of 91 patients were enrolled in the study, including 50 males and 41 females, aged 54 (40, 65) years with a range of 9-85 years. The drugs that induced severe drug eruptions were allopurinol in 48 patients, antiepileptic drugs in 23 patients, antibacterial drugs in 6 patients, and other drugs in 14 patients. There were 21 patients (AKI incidence: 23.1%) in the AKI group and 70 patients in the non-AKI group. The proportion of patients sensitized to antiepileptic drugs, baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate, levels of serum albumin and hemoglobin in the AKI group were lower than those in the non-AKI group [0 (0/21) vs. 32.9% (23/70), (70±12) ml/(min·1.73 m 2) vs. (103±6) ml/(min·1.73 m 2), 26(23, 30) g/L vs. 36(34, 38) g/L, (116±17) g/L vs. (129±15) g/L], the proportions of patients sensitized to allopurinol, with diabetes mellitus, and with chronic kidney diseases, baseline serum urea nitrogen level, serum creatinine level, and proportion of urinary albumin positive patients were all higher than those in the non-AKI group [81.0%(17/21) vs. 44.3%(31/70), 28.6%(6/21) vs. 7.1%(5/70), 28.6%(6/21) vs. 5.7%(4/70), 7.2 (4.6, 12.2) mmol/L vs. 5.0 (3.8, 6.4) mmol/L, 103 (63, 134) μmol/L vs. 67 (56, 79) μmol/L, 47.6%(10/21) vs. 17.1%(12/70)], and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that allopurinol sensitization ( OR=6.588, 95 %CI: 1.006-43.123, P=0.049) was the independent risk factor for AKI in patients with severe drug eruption and serum albumin ( OR=0.595, 95 %CI: 0.471-0.752, P<0.001) was a protective factor. Conclusions:Allopurinol sensitization was the independent risk factor for AKI in patients with severe drug eruption. Patients with low serum albumin were more likely to develop AKI.

Objective To assess the environmental contact allergens in patients with allergic contact dermatitis (ACD).Methods Totally,167 patients with ACD were included in this study.All the patients underwent patch test.Results Of these patients,92 (55.1%) were diagnosed as facial ACD,and 148 showed positive patch test results (88.6%).The six most common allergens in a decreasing order were nickel sulfate,fragrance mix,paraphenylenediamine,thimerosal,octanoates and amerchol L 101.Conclusion Patch test may be an efficient way to confirm the cause of ACD.
