Acute Kidney Injury and Critical Care Nephrology

Abstract

Critical care nephrology is an increasingly vital subspecialty within internal medicine that focuses on the comprehensive management of a spectrum of kidney-related complications that arise in critically ill patients. This field plays a crucial role in heterogeneous intensive care unit settings, where the dynamic and complex nature of critical illnesses and acute kidney injury phenotypes often necessitates specialized renal care, including renal replacement therapy. In this manuscript, we present board-style review questions that illustrate distinct clinical scenarios and interventions in critical care nephrology, with an emphasis on key teaching points.
