Acute Kidney Injury
Conditions
Brief summary
Acute renal injury is a common complication of critical illness. Drug induced renal insult compounds the degree of injury in many patients, and a great deal of research has focused on prevention of this complication. Traditional biomarkers of renal injury like serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen content fail to consistently predict harm among patients at risk. Kidney Injury Molecule 1 (KIM-1) will be studied as a biomarker of renal injury.
