Risk factors for the development of AKI are variable and include advanced age, sepsis, cardiac surgery, diabetes, rhabdomyolysis, pre-existing renal disease, hypovolemia and shock. While kidney injury occurring outside the hospital can usually be attributed to an isolated cause, AKI that evolves during hospitalization, particularly during critical illness, generally has a worse prognosis and may result from multiple renal insults including hypovolemia, surgery, decreased cardiac output, medication effects (anesthetics, diuretics, nephrotoxic drugs), or radiographic contrast agents.
It is unknown whether this is adequate to prevent renal failure. The Fluids and Catheters Treatment Trial (FACTT) suggested that in patients with acute lung injury, conservative fluid management may not be detrimental to kidney function. Specifically there was no significant difference in need for RRT between patients in the conservative versus liberal fluid strategy groups, although creatinine concentration was slightly higher in the conservative-strategy group [32]. Given these considerations, once appropriate resuscitation is achieved it is reasonable to transition to either maintaining euvolemia or even actively removing fluid [31].
Though it is reasonable to conclude that early initiation of RRT may be beneficial in order to avoid dangerous 2 Renal Complications 39 metabolic, fluid, and electrolyte derangements of uremia, there are no outcomes data to support this sentiment [38]. In fact, some have argued to withhold RRT until definite indications are present to minimize risks of complications associated with catheter placement, hemodynamic instability and cardiac arrhythmias during dialysis, or delayed renal recovery [2].
