In this review, we summarized the evidence of randomized controlled trials （RCTs） which compared NS with other solutions in critically ill patients. The results showed that when compared with 6% hydrox- yethyl starch （HES）, NS may reduce the onset of acute kidney injury （AKI）. However, there is no significant different in mortality and incidence of AKl when compared with 10% HES, albumin and buffered crystalloid solution. Therefore, it is important to prescribe intravenous fluid for patients according to their individual condition.展开更多
