Incorporation of Biomarkers with the Renal Angina Index for Prediction of Severe AKI in Critically Ill Children [PDF]

Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2014
Novel AKI biomarkers carry variable performance for prediction of AKI in patients with heterogeneous illness. Until utility is demonstrated in critically ill patients outside of the cardiopulmonary bypass population, AKI biomarkers are unlikely to gain widespread implementation. Operationalization of an AKI risk stratification methodology, termed renal
