Abstract

Introduction: Acute Renal Injury (ARI) is a constant problem for patients in intensive care and Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) is an ever-more important part of acute renal injury (ARI) treatment. Various criteria have been used for the diagnosis and classification of acute renal failure, including RIFLE (Risk-Injury-Failure-Loss-End stage), AKIN (Acute Kidney Injury Network) and most recently KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes). Many studies have only evaluated urinary output or serum creatinine when categorizing ARI. Our aim was to determine the predictors of mortality in intensive care patients treated with CRRT and to compare mortality with ARI level as determined by KDIGO-Serum Creatinine (KDIGO-SCr) and KDIGO-urinary output (KDIGO-UO)
