Deep Dive: Acute Kidney Injury and Organ Crosstalk During Critical Illness

Explore diagnostic tools and therapeutic interventions to improve outcomes in patients with AKI.

In-Person Deep Dive

Saturday, January 20, 2024
Phoenix Convention Center
Phoenix, Arizona, USA
8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Mountain Time
The course includes a half-day of in-person eduation and up to 3.75 hours of accredited continuing education credit.

More than 50% of patients develop acute kidney injury (AKI) in the ICU during critical illness. Mortality among patients with AKI and multiorgan failure in the ICU is reported to exceed 50%. Understanding physiologic interactions between the kidney and other organs, including the heart and lungs, is of utmost importance to streamline management strategies during AKI. Approximately 2% to 30% of AKI survivors in the ICU progress to end-stage renal disease. Patients who recover renal function during their ICU stay also have a significant risk of developing progressive renal dysfunction. This half-day course will review these complex interactions and explore appropriate and timely diagnostic tools and adjusting therapeutic interventions to improve outcomes in patients with AKI.

This Deep Dive is offered as a Critical Care Congress precourse. Attend in conjuntion with Congress and save. A la carte registration is also available.

Upon completion of the course, you will be able to:

Describe pathophysiologic mechanisms behind AKI in critically ill patients
Evaluate complex mechanisms responsible for organ crosstalk in critically ill patients with AKI
Appraise pathophysiology and mechanisms of disease progression in cardiorenal syndromes
Analyze the pathophysiology of kidney-mediated lung injury and lung-mediated kidney injury
Evaluate disease-driven variations in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of medications as well as impact on dosing
