Study Summary

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent problem in the intensive care unit (ICU) affecting more than 50 % of patients. AKI is associated with several adverse outcomes, including increased mortality and increased length of ICU- and hospital stay, in particular in patients requiring Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT).

Choosing the optimal time for attempting liberation from RRT is still unclear. With this study, we will describe the ability of renal ultrasound in predicting the outcome of dialysis weaning.
