Article Synopsis
- Acute kidney injury (AKI) significantly impacts mortality and morbidity in critically ill patients, and the serum uric acid-to-albumin ratio may serve as a prognostic marker for assessing patient outcomes.
- A study involving over 1,000 ICU patients found that the uric acid-to-albumin ratio effectively predicted 28-day mortality, with specific ratios indicating varied levels of prediction accuracy for both AKI and non-AKI groups.
- The findings suggest that utilizing this affordable biomarker in clinical settings could improve management strategies and better predict outcomes for critically ill patients.
