Recently published scientific data affirms that penKid remains informative under acute renal replacement therapy (RRT) and can identify patients for successful liberation.
Key Points:
- Recently published scientific data affirms that penKid remains informative under acute renal replacement therapy (RRT) and can identify patients for successful liberation.
- RRT, a common practice in Intensive Care Units (ICUs), has long relied on clinical observations for stop decisions.
- However, the lack of a dependable biomarker poses challenges in accurately assessing when to discontinue RRT.
- Considering this, leading experts from the field have discussed in a recent advisory board the importance of identifying the right tools to improve the outcomes in AKI.
