Renal replacement therapy in pregnancy-related acute kidney injury: Getting the timing right

Abstract

Recent trials have failed to show a survival benefit from the early initiation of dialytic therapies in acute kidney injury (AKI), but the problem has not been studied in pregnancy-related AKI. While the KDIGO criteria have not been validated in pregnancy-related acute kidney injury (PRAKI), additionally both fetal and maternal outcomes require to be studied. The short observational study by Banerjee et al. contains some interesting observations.
