Acute kidney injury in 2011: Biomarkers are transforming our understanding of AKI

Lakhmir S Chawla et al. Nat Rev Nephrol. .

Abstract

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a syndrome of decreased renal function that is associated with an increased risk of death. Studies from 2011, particularly in the field of AKI biomarkers, have provided important insights into the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of AKI. These advances are now being brought to the bedside to improve diagnosis and treatment of AKI.
