Excerpt

In this issue of Annals of Intensive care, Costa et al. reported on the association between a lower erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD)1 activity and the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) in septic shock patients. At a given cutoff level, SOD1 was found to predict sepsis-induced AKI (SAKI) earlier than the classic KDIGO criteria. The authors suggested that erythrocyte SOD1 activity could act as an early marker of SAKI and, by extension, as a novel target of SAKI biomarker research [1]. The study results certainly are original and innovative, but questions arise when considering their impact. …
