Excerpt

In their recent article assessing the predictive ability of urinary liver-type fatty-acid binding protein and serum N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide for acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients treated at a medical cardiac intensive care unit (ICU), Naruse et al. [1] did not provide any severity score, such as the APACHE II score or the SOFA score. The available evidence shows that patients’ severity of illness and level of organ failure upon admission to the ICU are independently associated with the occurrence of AKI [2, 3]. …
