Multicenter Study
Base excess is superior to creatinine in predicting haemodialysis: A multicenter study conducted Kahramanmaraş earthquake victims.
This study had two main goals: to determine which rhabdomyolysis patients need haemodialysis; and to highlight the significance of blood gas parameters, particularly base excess, as predictors of the need for haemodialysis. ⋯ Base excess is an effective predictor of the need for haemodialysis in patients with crush-related injuries that cause rhabdomyolysis and in patients who develop acute renal failure due to elevated CK.
