Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Issue is to report the most recent data on renal function and its possible deterioration in critically ill patients. The kidney is a central organ in the management of intensive care patients, and thus deserves a great deal of attention, with the sole aim of improving the prognosis of these patients.
In patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs), adverse renal events frequently occur, significantly impacting mortality and morbidity. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the most common adverse renal event. In fact, AKI occurs in almost 50% of these patients, leading not only to an increased risk of mortality, but also to deleterious systemic effects in survivors, predisposing them to cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease.
This Special Issue’s purpose is to explore the advances in acute kidney events in intensive care, focusing on perspectives of interest from both a clinical perspective and for the scientific community.
Dr. Silvia De Rosa
Guest Editor
