The aim of this retrospective observational case-control study was to examine the significance of different renal Doppler marker variations within the initial 24-hour period as potential predictors of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in patients with sepsis. ⋯ CVP, SOFA score, CRP, lactate, VIS, and RRI not reduction following 24h of ICU treatment can be utilized as predictive indicators for early detection of SA-AKI in sepsis patients.
