Excerpt
Malnutrition is common in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI), especially if renal replacement therapy (RRT) is needed. There are several potential explanations, including nutrient losses during RRT. Although previous studies confirmed that micronutrients were detectable in effluent fluid [
