Acute disorders of the kidney occur in up to two-thirds of patients in the intensive care unit. The diagnosis is associated with increased mortality and increased hospital stay. Often recognized but less frequently defined, it is commonly encountered by physicians caring for critically-ill patients. A standardized definition regarding acute kidney injury was published in 2004. This has led to improvements in measuring mortality and treatment outcomes with a more targeted approach to caring for these difficult to treat patients.

Department of Nephrology, Tangdu Hospital, The Fourth Military Medical University, Air Force Medical University, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, China.
Background: Plasma oxidized lipids are intimately linked to immune regulation as bioactive mediators. However, it is not clear whether they are related to the progression of sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) and the effect of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). This study intends to explore the changes in certain oxidized lipid during CRRT treatment and their correlation with the immune microenvironment and prognosis by analyzing plasma oxidative lipidomics.
