Bhatraju et al reported a model for predicting severe acute kidney injury (AKI) in a patient in the intensive care unit (ICU). This can help to identify a patient who may benefit from more aggressive management. The authors are from the University of Washington in Seattle, Harvard University and Massachusetts General Hospital.
ACT is an acronym for age, cirrhosis, and sTNFR-1
Patient selection: adult in ICU, excluding trauma, intracranial hemorrhage, HIV, immunosuppression, cancer, ESRD or kidney transplant
