Management of Acute Kidney Injury in the ICU

This replay of a recorded specialized module, presented by Dr. Anitha Vijayan Professor of Medicine Washington University in St. Louis Medical Director/Acute Dialysis Services, Barnes Jewish Hospital St. Louis, MO, offers a thorough examination of key aspects of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) management. It starts with an in-depth review of AKI diagnosis, emphasizing current diagnostic criteria and approaches. The module then explores novel biomarkers that enhance early detection and risk stratification of AKI.

You will learn about:

• the Furosemide Stress Test as a tool for assessing renal function and predicting response to therapy
• the systemic effects of volume overload on patient outcomes providing insights into the broader implications of fluid management
• criteria and timing for initiating Kidney Replacement Therapy (KRT)

This comprehensive approach aims to refine clinical decision-making and improve patient care in AKI. Included in the presentation will be interactive polling questions and a chance to engage with critical care experts during a live Q&A session.
