Timing of Renal Replacement Therapy for Severe Acute Kidney Injury in Critical Illnes patients
Acute kidney injury (AKI) affects many intensive care unit patients and is responsible for increased morbidity and mortality.

metabolic complications whereas a delayed one may allow for renal function recovery in some patients without need for this costly and potentially dangerous technique
