Acute kidney injury in patients admitted to a liver intensive therapy unit with paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity

Abstract

AKI is very common in critically ill patients with paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity requiring LITU admission. Although outcomes are poorer with AKI than with normal renal function, they are better than those found in other intensive therapy unit populations. Gradual recovery of renal function is seen in all patients.
