Research Article: Evaluation of Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound in Diagnosis of Acute Kidney Injury of Patients in Intensive Care Unit

Date Published: 2023-06-03

Abstract:
According to the Improving Global Outcomes clinical practice guidelines, acute kidney injury (AKI) involves a rapid deterioration of kidney function. About % of adults and % of children develop AKI after hospitalization., In addition, AKI has been a common disease and a complication in the intensive care unit (ICU) patients; it is associated with significant increases in mortality and risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hemodialysis after discharge; it also increases medical cost and resource utilization.– In the hemodynamic resuscitation of ICU patients, the renal microcirculation is less monitored, which may be ascribed to the unavailable bedside assessment. Thus, it is imperative to develop a convenient diagnostic tool for the assessment of renal perfusion.
