Acute Kidney Injury Incidence in Hospitalized Patients and Implications for Nutrition Support

Daniel Meyer et al. Nutr Clin Pract. 2020 Dec.

Abstract

Hospitalized adult patients suffer from high rates of acute kidney injury (AKI), which puts them at risk for multiple nutrition problems. The etiology and management strategy of AKI has major implications for the management of the hospitalized patient. The purpose of this review is to understand the incidence and management of AKI in hospitalized adult patients and review the challenges to providing adequate nutrition support.

Keywords: acute kidney injury; hospitalization; nutrition assessment; nutrition status; nutrition support; renal replacement therapy.
