Urinary Biomarkers and Progression of AKI in Patients with Cirrhosis

[摘要] Background and objectives AKI is a common and severe complication in patients with cirrhosis. AKI progression was previously shown to correlate with in-hospital mortality. Therefore, accurately predicting which patients are at highest risk for AKI progression may allow more rapid and targeted treatment. Urinary biomarkers of structural kidney injury associate with AKI progression and mortality in multiple settings of AKI but their prognostic performance in patients with liver cirrhosis is not well known.
