Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyErythropoietin in traumatic brain injury associated acute kidney injury: A randomized controlled trial.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) in traumatic brain injury (TBI) is poorly understood and it is unknown if it can be attenuated using erythropoietin (EPO). ⋯ Acute kidney injury is more common in male patients and those with severe compared to moderate TBI and appears associated with worse outcome. EPO does not prevent AKI after TBI.
