Acute kidney injury in patients with severe traumatic brain injury: implementation of the acute kidney injury network stage system.
2011
Background
There is limited information on the incidence and effect of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), although AKI may affect outcome. Recently, acute kidney injury network (AKIN) classification has been widely accepted as a consensus definition for AKI. The aim of this study is to estimate the frequency and level of severity of AKI in patients with severe TBI by using AKIN criteria and to study whether AKI affects outcome.
