Short-Term Renal Replacement Therapy Outcomes of Critically Ill Patients of Acute Kidney Injury and Acute on Chronic Kidney Disease.

Background And Aims: Sustained low-efficiency dialysis (SLED) is a cost-effective alternative to continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in critically ill acute kidney injury (AKI) patients, in addition to intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) as a mode of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in such patients. This single-center, prospective, observational study aimed to assess the short-term outcomes of SLED and IHD in such patients.

Methodology: Adult (>18 years) patients with AKI requiring dialysis were included from different ICUs of a tertiary care center.

Outcomes of obstetric versus non-obstetric acute kidney injury: insights from an Indian tertiary care centre.

Background: Pregnancy-related Acute kidney injury (PR-AKI) accounts for approximately 15% of maternal mortality, with 10-30% progressing to end stage renal disease (ESRD). However, there are no comparative studies of obstetric and non-obstetric AKI. This study compares the outcomes of both groups with short-term follow-up to day 90.
