Creating a fluid therapy plan that is adequate to meet an individual patient's needs depends on identifying whether the animal has poor perfusion, is dehydrated, or both. This article reviews the body's fluid compartments, fluid dynamics, and the clinical parameters used to differentiate perfusion from hydration and create a fluid therapy plan.

The Hepatorenal Syndrome-Acute Kidney Injury (HRS-AKI) patients infected with methicillin-resistant (MRSA) urgently require safe and effective treatment options due to their compromised hepatic and renal functions, as well as thrombocytopenia resulting from hypersplenism. In our case, an HRS-AKI patient who underwent continuous renal replacement therapy for fluid overload developed fever with chills. His blood tests indicated elevated C-reactive protein and neutrophils, low platelet count, and bilateral lung infiltrates.

Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (S-AKI) is a critical complication that significantly contributes to the morbidity and mortality of sepsis patients. This narrative review explores the complex and multifactorial pathophysiology of S-AKI, which involves hemodynamic alterations, microcirculatory dysfunction, endothelial damage, inflammatory responses, oxidative stress, and direct tubular injury. Conventional perspectives linking S-AKI primarily to reduced renal blood flow are now being reconsidered, with growing insights highlighting the significance of microcirculatory dysfunction and endothelial activation as key contributors.
