Abstract:

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a well-recognized complication of critical illness with a large effect on mortality. Although the indications of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in patients with life-threatening complications are unequivocal, the timing of RRT initiation in patients with severe AKI without such complications has not yet been defined. Two recently large randomized controlled trials (RCT) may provide new evidence of initiation of RRT. The aim of this paper is to analyze the main differences, strengths and limitations of ELAIN and AKIKI study and to finally point out the timing of RRT initiation.

Key words: Acute kidney injury, Renal replacement therapy, Therapy timing
