Background There is a paucity of epidemiological data regarding pesticide intoxication-associated acute kidney injury (AKI). Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify the epidemiological features, risk factors, and adverse outcomes of AKI in this population. Methods The data used in this multi-center, hospitalized population-based, retrospective study were retrieved from electronic medical records. AKI was defined as an acute increase in serum creatinine according to the criteria of Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes. The Charlson Comorbidity Index was used to evaluate the burden of in-hospital mortality. Results Of 3,371 adult patients in 11 hospitals, 398 (11.8%) were diagnosed with AKI (grade 1, 218 [6.5%]; grade 2, 89 [2.6%]; grade 3, 91 [2.7%]). Herbicide intoxication was associated with the highest incidence of AKI (53.5%) and higher grades of AKI. After multivariable adjustment, pesticide categories and moderate or severe renal disease were independently associated with AKI. As compared with the referred category, insecticide and herbicide intoxications were associated with a 1.3-fold (95% CI 1.688–3.245) and 3.8-fold (95% CI 3.537–6.586) greater risk of AKI. Regardless of the pesticide category, AKI was independently associated with in-hospital mortality, with odds ratios of 3.433 (95% CI 1.436–8.203) for insecticides, 2.153 (95% CI 1.377–3.367) for herbicides, and 4.524 (95% CI 1.230–16.632) for unclassified or other pesticides. Conclusion AKI is common in pesticide intoxication and associated with an increased in-hospital mortality. Herbicides pose the greatest risks of AKI and death.
