Sepsis a Major Factor in AKI
Jody A. Charnow
August 18, 2009
Greek researchers who studied 170 ICU patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) found that the most common contributing factor to AKI was sepsis, which was present in 45% of cases, an epidemiologic study found.

Ed Susman
March 17, 2009
HOLLYWOOD, Fla.— Using a novel drug-delivery system to infuse fenoldopam and other vasodilators directly into the kidneys may improve recovery from acute kidney injury (AKI), according to a small study showing that this approach dramatically reduced 28-day mortality when compared with historical outcomes.
