چکیده
Secondary renal injury in the setting of acute renal failure (ARF) is “an additional renal injury developing in the setting of a primary renal injury”. The nature of prevention of secondary renal injury in the setting of ARF may depend on the process initiating primary renal injury. It is often impossible to separate primary from secondary renal injury when the process of primary acute renal injury is ongoing. The goal is to both prevent a second primary insult and alter the natural sequelae of the primary insult. In patients with isolated acute renal injury the focus would be on altering the natural sequelae of the original insult. In relation to secondary prevention, there are several fundamental questions that need to be addressed. They are discussed below.

Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative 3 rd International Consensus Conference
One of the most common “non-renal” applications for extacorporeal blood purification is in the management of heart failure (HF). In this workgroup report we will summarize the existing literature concerning HF, with special attention paid to the importance of concomitant renal failure. The bulk of our consensus work focuses on the use of extracorporeal ultrafiltration for the treatment of HF. I...
متن کاملApplications for detection of acute kidney injury using electronic medical records and clinical information systems: workgroup statements from the 15th ADQI Consensus Conference
Electronic medical records and clinical information systems are increasingly used in hospitals and can be leveraged to improve recognition and care for acute kidney injury. This Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative (ADQI) workgroup was convened to develop consensus around principles for the design of automated AKI detection systems to produce real-time AKI alerts using electronic systems. AKI aler...
متن کاملAcute Dialysis Quality Initiative 4 th International Consensus Conference
Primary prevention of acute renal failure (ARF) refers to clinical strategies which reduce the occurrence of ARF in patients with or without underlying chronic renal disease who do not yet exhibit evidence of acute renal dysfunction or injury. The lack of sensitive measures of renal injury (biomarkers) as well as the difficulty in assessing renal function in a “non-steady state” condition has l...
متن کاملImpact of electronic-alerting of acute kidney injury: workgroup statements from the 15(th) ADQI Consensus Conference.
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW Among hospitalized patients, acute kidney injury is common and associated with significant morbidity and risk for mortality. The use of electronic health records (EHR) for prediction and detection of this important clinical syndrome has grown in the past decade. The steering committee of the 15(th) Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative (ADQI) conference dedicated a workgroup w...
