Deep Dive: Acute Kidney Injury and Organ Crosstalk Online

More than 50% of patients develop acute kidney injury (AKI) in the ICU during critical illness. Mortality among patients with AKI and multiorgan failure in the ICU is reported to exceed 50%. Understanding physiologic interactions between the kidney and other organs, including the heart and lungs, is of utmost importance to streamline management strategies during AKI. Approximately 2% to 30% of AKI survivors in the ICU progress to end-stage renal disease. Patients who recover renal function during their ICU stay also have a significant risk of developing progressive renal dysfunction. This online course reviews these complex interactions and explores appropriate and timely diagnostic tools and adjusting therapeutic interventions to improve outcomes in patients with AKI.
