Incorporation of Biomarkers with the Renal Angina Index for Prediction of Severe AKI in Critically Ill Children

[摘要] Background and objectives Novel AKI biomarkers carry variable performance for prediction of AKI in patients with heterogeneous illness. Until utility is demonstrated in critically ill patients outside of the cardiopulmonary bypass population, AKI biomarkers are unlikely to gain widespread implementation. Operationalization of an AKI risk stratification methodology, termed renal angina, was recently reported to enhance prediction at the time of intensive care unit admission for persistent severe AKI. The renal angina index (RAI) was developed to provide the clinical context to direct AKI biomarker testing. This study tested the hypothesis that incorporation of AKI biomarkers in patients fulfilling renal angina improves the prediction of persistent severe AKI.
