PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review aims to elucidate the complex interplay between cardiogenic shock (CS) and renal function, detailing the mechanisms of kidney injury, identifying risk factors, and providing a framework for the diagnosis and management ...
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common condition in intensive care units (ICUs) and is associated with high mortality rates, particularly when kidney replacement therapy (KRT) becomes necessary. The optimal timing for initiating KRT remains a subject ...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review explores the transformative advancement, potential application, and impact of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly machine learning (ML) and large language models (LLMs), on critical care nephrology.
BACKGROUND: Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming various aspects of healthcare, including critical care nephrology. Large language models (LLMs), a key technology in generative AI, show promise in enhancing patient care, st...
Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is a form of dialysis prescribed to severely ill patients who cannot tolerate regular hemodialysis. However, as the patients are typically very ill to begin with, there is always uncertainty whether they wi...
INTRODUCTION: Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is a primary form of renal support for patients with acute kidney injury in an intensive care unit. Making an accurate decision of discontinuation is crucial for the prognosis of patients. Pre...
BACKGROUND: The use of tools that allow estimation of the probability of progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) to advanced stages has not yet achieved significant practical importance in clinical setting. This study aimed to develop and validat...
BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires accurate prediction of renal replacement therapy (RRT) initiation risk. This study developed deep learning algorithms (DLAs) to predict RRT risk in CKD patients by incorporating medical history and pr...
INTRODUCTION: Use of kidney replacement therapy (KRT) prediction models for guiding arteriovenous fistula (AVF) referrals in advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) is unknown. We aimed to compare a hypothetical approach using a KRT prediction model de...
