The Outcome of HIV-Positive Patients Admitted to Intensive Care Units with Acute Kidney Injury (original) (raw)

This study investigates the outcomes of HIV-positive patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) with acute kidney injury (AKI). It highlights the significant mortality associated with AKI in this population, emphasizing the lack of uniform definitions complicating the assessment of outcomes. The existing literature, mainly retrospective, indicates higher mortality rates in HIV-infected patients with AKI compared to their uninfected counterparts, yet prospective studies are necessary to better understand these dynamics and refine ICU management strategies.
