Poor prognosis of acute kidney injury superimposed on chronic kidney disease: potential mechanisms, risk factors and novel biomarkers

Key takeaways

A review of why people with long-term kidney disease do so badly when a sudden kidney injury lands on top of it. The authors walk through the likely causes, who is most at risk, and new blood and urine markers that might catch it early. This is a summary of other people's work, not a new study, so there are no fresh results here.
