Impact of an Electronic Alert in Combination with a Care Bundle on the Outcomes of Acute Kidney Injury.

Early diagnosis is essential for the appropriate management of acute kidney injury (AKI). We evaluated the impact of an electronic AKI alert together with a care bundle on the progression and mortality of AKI. This was a single-center prospective study that included AKI patients aged ≥ 18 years, whereas those in palliative care, nephrology, and transplantation departments were excluded.

Extended hemodialysis in acute kidney injury.

About 10% of patients in the intensive care unit which develop acute renal failure will depend on renal replacement therapy. Although there are no data showing reduction in mortality when compared with intermittent therapy, continuous therapies provide higher cumulative doses of dialysis and greater hemodynamic stability. However, have high costs and are not available in many centers.
