Background And Objective: The aim of this retrospective observational case-control study was to examine the significance of different renal Doppler marker variations within the initial 24-hour period as potential predictors of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in patients with sepsis.
Methods: A total of 198 sepsis patients were enrolled and categorized into two groups: the AKI group (n = 136) and the non-AKI group (n = 62). Three renal Doppler indices, Renal Resistive Index (RRI), Power Doppler Ultrasound (PDU) score and Renal Venous Stasis Index (RVSI), were measured within 6h (T0) and at 24h (T1) after ICU admission.

However, this invasive approach can lead to morbidity, delayed glucocorticoid treatment for patients with AIN, and unnecessarily prolonged suspension of ICI therapy in non-AIN patients.
