Acute Kidney Injury
Conditions
Brief summary
The investigators would like to investigate the effect of chloride dosing on the development of acute kidney injury in critically ill patients. The investigators hypothesis is that administering intravenous fluids with higher chloride content are more likely to lead to acute kidney injury.
