SCCM Resource Library-Acute Kidney Injury: Soup to Nuts

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the relationship between liver disease and acute kidney injury (AKI) in cirrhotic patients. Around 20-50% of patients with cirrhosis develop AKI, which has a significant impact on kidney function. Differentiating between non-hepatorenal syndrome AKI and hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) AKI is crucial for appropriate treatment and prognosis. Treatments for HRS include vasoconstrictors like terlipressin and liver transplantation. The video also highlights the need for improved biomarkers to diagnose and manage AKI in liver disease patients. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the importance of recognizing and treating AKI in patients with liver disease, while understanding the different types and causes of AKI in this population.

The Society of Critical Care Medicine's Critical Care Congress features internationally renowned faculty and content sessions highlighting the most up-to-date, evidence-based developments in critical care medicine. This is a presentation from the 2020 Critical Care Congress held February 16-19, 2020, in Orlando, Florida, USA.

Learning Objectives

Examine key mechanisms of acute kidney injury (AKI) in preclinical models and explore their potential relevance to clinical AKI syndromes
Discuss the evidence on renal replacement therapy (RRT) indications and timing, dose, and modalities as well as logistics in order to apply an effective strategy for managing RRT for severe AKI
Identify differences in diagnostic and management approaches that are warranted in pediatric and postoperative patient populations as well as less common but potentially treatable AKI syndromes
