Prognostic performance of immune-metabolic indices compared with severity scores in children requiring continuous kidney replacement therapy for acute kidney injury

Key takeaways

This study tested whether simple blood markers of immune and metabolic stress can predict how children do when they need a kidney support machine (continuous kidney replacement therapy) for sudden kidney failure. It compared these markers with the standard severity scores. As a look-back study, it shows which numbers track with outcomes, not proof that they cause them.
