Abstract

Abstract:

With the development of critical care medicine and related technology，the research of critical kidney disease has been deepened. In the ICU，breakthroughs have been made in the research of critical illness-related acute kidney injury （AKI），chronic kidney disease （CKD），kidney transplantation management，difficult kidney disease and blood purification treatment. For example，intravenous amino acids are effective in preventing AKI after cardiac surgery，reducing its incidence and the need for renal-replacement therapy （RRT）. At the same time，the application of artificial intelligence technology，such as AKI early warning system combined with individualized treatment，can significantly improve the clinical outcome of patients. This article reviews the research progress and hotspots of critical kidney disease in the past year，so as to provide reference for clinical and future research.

Key words: Critical care medicine, Acute kidney injury, Chronic kidney disease, Renal replacement therapy
