Biomarker Enhanced Clinical Assessment of Sepsis and AKI - Organized by bioM‚rieux

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker discusses the problem of acute kidney injury (AKI) in the intensive care unit (ICU). AKI is a major issue that occurs commonly in ICU patients and is more expensive than many other acute medical conditions. The speaker explains that AKI is a result of kidney damage, which leads to a decrease in urine output and an increase in creatinine levels. AKI can occur rapidly, typically within 48 hours of an insult. The speaker emphasizes the importance of early detection and evaluation of AKI to reduce the risk. They discuss the risk factors and outcomes associated with AKI, as well as the economic and health burden it poses. The speaker introduces the nephrocheck test, a urine test that assesses the risk of developing AKI. They explain how the test works and its potential for early identification and management of AKI. The speaker also discusses the use of biomarkers, such as procalcitonin, in identifying and monitoring AKI. They conclude by highlighting the importance of early intervention and management strategies to mitigate AKI and improve patient outcomes.
