Acute kidney injury with renal replacement therapy in trauma patients.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) with renal replacement therapy (RRT) is rare in trauma patients. The primary aim of the study was to assess incidence, mortality and chronic RRT dependency in this patient group. ⋯ AKI in trauma patients requiring RRT was rare in this single-center study. More males than females were affected. Mortality was modest, and renal recovery was excellent as none of the survivors became dependent on chronic RRT.
