TLDR
Immediate cost savings could be achieved by increasing the use of intermittent hemodialysis rather than CRRT for patients with acute renal failure in the intensive care unit, and CRRT may still be an economically efficient treatment if it improves renal recovery among survivors.Abstract:
ObjectiveAcute renal failure can be treated with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) or intermittent hemodialysis. There is no difference in mortality, although patients treated with CRRT may have a higher rate of renal recovery. Given these considerations, an estimate of the costs by modaliread more

KDIGO clinical practice guidelines for acute kidney injury.
TL;DR: The guidelines focused on 4 key domains: (1) AKI definition, (2) prevention and treatment of AKI, (3) contrastinduced AKI (CI-AKI) and (4) dialysis interventions for the treatment ofAKI.

Acute kidney injury
TL;DR: Evidence suggests that patients who have had acute kidney injury are at increased risk of subsequent chronic kidney disease, and new diagnostic techniques (eg, renal biomarkers) might help with early diagnosis.

TL;DR: Patients with septic AKI had an increased risk for death and longer duration of hospitalization yet showed trends toward greater renal recovery and independence from RRT.

TL;DR: Although the majority of patients with sARF will die, most survivors will become independent from renal replacement therapy within a year and males, older patients, and those with underlying medical conditions are at greatest risk.

A new method of classifying prognostic comorbidity in longitudinal studies: Development and validation☆
TL;DR: The method of classifying comorbidity provides a simple, readily applicable and valid method of estimating risk of death fromComorbid disease for use in longitudinal studies and further work in larger populations is still required to refine the approach.

TL;DR: Mortality among critically ill patients with acute renal failure was high, but increase in the rate of ultrafiltration improved survival significantly, and it is recommended thatUltrafiltration should be prescribed according to patient's bodyweight and should reach at least 35 mL h(-1) kg(-1).

TL;DR: This study gives, for the first time, the incidence of all forms of ARF in a developed country and shows that ARF is iatrogenically induced at a high rate by modern medicine and prevention strategies are needed to decrease its impact.
