Deep Dive: Saving the Kidneys-AKI and RRT Biomarker Panel: A Kidney Focused “Blood Gas”?

AKI and RRT Biomarker Panel: A Kidney Focused “Blood Gas”?

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video transcript is a summary of a masterclass on the topic of saving the kidneys. The speaker discusses the limitations of relying solely on creatinine as a marker of kidney injury and the need for targeted approaches to acute kidney injury (AKI). They emphasize the complexity of the AKI phenotype and the importance of considering biomarkers that can provide information about the type, location, and severity of the injury. The speaker suggests that a combination of biomarkers tested over time, similar to how a blood gas analysis is used for respiratory failure, may help in the management of AKI. They also mention the potential use of biomarkers to inform fluid management and the liberation from renal replacement therapy. The overall message is that a multidimensional and longitudinal approach, incorporating various biomarkers, is needed to better understand and manage AKI.
