Jay Koyner, MD
Patrick T. Murray, MD
Christian Nusshag, MD
John Prowle, MA, MD, FFICM, FRCP
Michael Zappitelli, MD, MSc
Current paradigms of kidney functional recovery from AKI are based on alterations in serum creatinine and urine output and are often dissociated with the underlying structural damage that may persist and increase the subclinical predisposition to new renal damage and subsequent progression to CKD. The availability of several biomarkers of kidney function and damage provides new approaches to evaluate patients post AKI and target appropriate interventions. This symposium will discuss the role of biomarkers post AKI to enhance patient management. Non-CME

Although the kidney is remarkably efficient in maintaining homeostasis, it relies on a delicate balance between energy demand and oxygen supply, which varies considerably in different regions of the kidney. Available data indicate that different AKI-inducing events cause anatomically distinct patterns of injury, which are relevant for the refinement of available therapies and the development of novel renoprotective strategies. This symposium will discuss the rationale for and results of novel strategies to protect the kidney in different settings.
