Association of Oliguria With Acute Kidney Injury, Chronic Kidney Disease, and Mortality: Determining the Optimal Threshold in Critically Ill Patients

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This large study looked at 4,999 people in the ICU to find the best warning sign for kidney damage. It found that low urine output is a strong predictor of kidney injury and death. This is an observational study, so it shows a link but not proof of cause. It helps doctors know when to act fast to protect the kidneys.
