Renal replacement therapy for acute kidney injury in pregnancy [PDF]
With the liberalization of abortion laws and improved obstetric care in developed countries, acute kidney injury in pregnancy is now an uncommon occurrence [1,2]. Current incidence rates range between 1% and 2.8% [2]. Acute kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) occurs in

AKI patients have worse long-term outcomes, especially in the immediate post-ICU period [PDF]
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with worse outcome in the acute phase of acute illness but also in the chronic phase. In a large Danish study in this issue of Critical Care, 1-year mortality was higher in patients with AKI than in patients ...

Renal Replacement Therapy in Acute Kidney Injury [PDF]
Although the use of renal replacement therapy (RRT) to support critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) has become routine, many of the fundamental questions regarding optimal management of RRT remain. This review summarizes current evidence regarding the timing of initiation of RRT, the selection of the specific modality of RRT, and ...

Estimated glomerular filtration rate correlates poorly with four-hour creatinine clearance in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury. [PDF]
Introduction. RIFLE and AKIN provide a standardised classification of acute kidney injury (AKI), but their categorical rather than continuous nature restricts their use to a research tool. A more accurate real-time description of renal function in AKI is

Nephrologist Interventions to Avoid Kidney Replacement Therapy in Acute Kidney Injury [PDF]
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Based on the pathophysiology of acute kidney injury (AKI), it is plausible that certain early interventions by the nephrologist could influence its trajectory. In this study, we investigated the impact of 5 early nephrology interventions on starting kidney replacement therapy (KRT), AKI progression, and
