Research recommendations
-
Determine reproducible criteria (e.g., fluid overload, biomarker level, severity score) to inform the decision to start RRT in adult and pediatric AKI patients. Such criteria may also permit the identification of patients who will ultimately require RRT and hence limit uncertainty around whether to begin therapy.
-
Determine whether early vs. late start of RRT, based on the above-mentioned criteria, results in improved clinical outcomes (e.g., mortality, evolution to CKD Stage 5) of AKI patients.
