TY - JOUR A1 - Nierhaus, Axel A1 - Bloos, Frank A1 - Wilson, Darius Cameron A1 - Elke, Gunnar A1 - Meybohm, Patrick T1 - Predicting the requirement for renal replacement therapy in intensive care patients with sepsis T2 - Critical care N2 - Sepsis is one of the most frequent causes of acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients, with initial organ impairment often followed by dysfunction in other systems. Renal dysfunction may therefore represent one facet in the evolution towards multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) or, alternatively, may be indicative of system-wide endothelial damage caused by hyperinflammation and a positive fluid balance. Whilst numerous biomarkers have been investigated to predict renal replacement therapy (RRT) requirement, including NGAL, TIMP-2 and IGFBP-7, mid-regional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) may also be of interest due to its involvement in capillary leakage, endothelial dysfunction and the initial stages of multiple organ failure development. ...
