Article Synopsis
- New criteria for acute kidney injury (AKI) in cirrhotic patients are being evaluated for their impact on prognosis during hospitalization for acute decompensation.
- In a study of 227 cirrhotic patients, 37% were found to have AKI, but mortality within 90 days was more strongly associated with other factors like ascites and higher CLIF-SOFA scores rather than the AKI status itself.
- Early AKI is common, but significant mortality risks are primarily observed when final creatinine levels reach or exceed 1.5 mg/dL, indicating a need for differentiated treatment based on these levels.
