It should be noted that although the study of the pathophysiology of AKI, as well as supportive therapies such as blood purification therapy, has obtained significant progress, the incidence of end- stage renal diseases and mortality rate caused by AKI are still high. Therefore, it has a great practical significance to make efforts to study prevention and treatment of AKI.展开更多

Most of the scholars hold that the attention paid to the early diagnosis and intervention of ARF was insufficient in recent years. Lots of clinical researchers indicated that even a slight impairment of renal function could result in the increasing of the morbidity and mortality of ARF.展开更多
