Association between hyperkalemia and outcomes in hospitalized patients with acute kidney injury.

Introduction: To evaluate the association of hyperkalemia with outcomes of hospitalized patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) and explore the potential non-linear relationship between potassium and the outcomes in a publicly accessible dataset.

Methods: AKI patients with measured serum potassium were included. Hyperkalemia was defined as serum potassium level higher than 5.

Advances in the diagnosis of early biomarkers for acute kidney injury: a literature review.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a critical condition with diverse manifestations and variable outcomes. Its diagnosis traditionally relies on delayed indicators such as serum creatinine and urine output, making early detection challenging. Early identification is essential to improving patient outcomes, driving the need for novel biomarkers.
