Summary of Recommendation Statements from the KDIGO Clinical Practice Guideline for Acute Kidney Injury
Kidney International Supplements (2012) 2; 8-12. doi:10.1038/kisup.2012.7
SARS recommendation: A nephrologist should be involved in the management of any patient with AKI as far as possible, particularly when dialysis therapies are being utilized.
SARS recommendation: In our setting the use of peritoneal dialysis for acute renal failure should be considered when the patient cannot receive haemodialysis (e.g. no facilities or unable to transport the patient).
