Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) resulting from nephrotoxic medication use is prominent in hospitalized patients and is attributable to overall increases in mortality and costs of care. Serum creatinine (SCr), the current standard for identifying drug-induced AKI (DIAKI) is often delayed in its response to kidney insult by 26-36 h.
Objective: This systematic review seeks to evaluate the clinical utility of several novel kidney damage and stress biomarkers for the prediction/timely detection of DIAKI, in comparison with traditional methods.
