...Mélanie Godin; Etienne Macedo; Ravindra L. Mehta Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with increased mortality, prolonged hospitalization, and renal replacement therapy. Until recently, it was believed that the vast majority of patients recover from AKI without subsequent consequences. It is now...

..., support with renal replacement therapy (RRT) is provided. Recent data have suggested that rates of RRT utilization in AKI are increasing. Despite advances in our understanding of how best to prescribe acute RRT in critically ill patients with AKI, additional aspects remain uncertain, predisposing...

... after an episode of AKI. At present, no uniform definition for recovery after AKI exists and various considerations should be taken into account in the development of a definition. Renal recovery after an AKI episode may affect clinical decision making around the initiation of renal replacement therapy...

... purification techniques have limited efficacy in removing myoglobin. We describe high cut-off (HCO) renal replacement therapy (RRT) as a novel approach for extracorporeal elimination of myoglobin in rhabdomyolysis-associated AKI. Methods: With an in vivo molecular cut-off at 45 kDa, HCO filters are effective...
