Abstract

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in critically ill patients and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. This paper provides a critical review of the etiologies of AKI and a systematic approach toward its diagnosis and management with emphasis on fluid volume assessment and the use of urine biochemical profile and microscopy in identifying the nature and the site of kidney injury. The search of PubMed and selection of papers had employed observational designs or randomized control trials relevant to AKI. AKI is defined by the rate of rise of serum creatinine and a decline in urine output. The pathophysiology is diverse and requires a careful and systematic assessment of predisposing factors and localization of site of injury. The majority of AKIs are due to prerenal causes such as fluid volume deficit, sepsis, or renal as in acute tubular injury. The use of central venous and arterial blood pressure monitoring and inferior vena cava echocardiography complemented by urine analysis and microscopy allows assessment of fluid volume status and AKI etiology. Timely intervention by avoidance of fluid volume deficit and nephrotoxic agents and blood pressure support can reduce the incidence of AKI in critically ill patients.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 July 2022.
All research outputs
#7,286,999
of 24,066,486 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Intensive Care
#283
of 544 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#100,851
of 292,800 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Intensive Care
#6
of 10 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,066,486 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 69th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 544 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.4. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 292,800 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 65% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 4 of them.
