Impact of Early Hemodialysis on Hospital Length of Stay in Sepsis Patients: A Study at a Tertiary Center in Rajahmundry

Abstract: Early initiation of hemodialysis in sepsis patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) has been hypothesized to improve clinical outcomes by reducing the length of hospital stay (LOS) and mitigating the risk of complications. This study evaluates the effect of early versus delayed hemodialysis on LOS in a cohort of sepsis patients at a 220-bedded tertiary center in Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh. The analysis of 200 sepsis patients shows that those receiving early hemodialysis had a mean reduction in LOS of 4.5 days compared to those receiving delayed intervention, highlighting the clinical and operational benefits of early treatment in sepsis-related AKI.
