Higher Hospital-Level Utilization of Continuous Kidney Replacement Therapy Associated with Reduced Mortality in Critically Ill Patients

A large-scale multicenter study reveals that hospitals with higher utilization rates of continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) achieve significantly lower 90-day mortality for critically ill AKI patients compared to low-utilization centers, highlighting a critical volume-outcome relationship in intensive care.

Urine‑guided Intraoperative Hydration Halves AKI Risk After CRS‑HIPEC with Cisplatin: Randomized Trial Shows Promise

A randomized trial found that maintaining high intraoperative urine output (≥3 ml·kg−1·h−1 or ≥200 ml·h−1) during cytoreductive surgery and cisplatin‑based HIPEC reduced 7‑day postoperative AKI from 39.3% to 21.4% and lowered major 30‑day complications without increasing adverse events.
