Biomarkers upon discontinuation of renal replacement therapy predict 60‐day survival and renal recovery in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury

Abstract

Upon discontinuation of RRT, serum and urinary biomarkers, particularly sOPN, may predict 60-day survival and renal recovery in critically ill patients with AKI. The serum levels of OPN, IL-6 and CysC may be useful when considering withdrawal of RRT on the basis of conventional indicators.
