Critical care. A silver lining in the quest for improved survival in sepsis

Rajesh Mohandas et al. Nat Rev Nephrol. 2014 Jun.

Two recent trials have highlighted that our strategies to restore tissue perfusion early and decrease mortality in patients with sepsis are varied and evidence for an effective therapy to reduce the incidence of kidney injury is lacking. However, newly reported data suggest an overall improved standard of care for patients.
