Critical Care Updates for the Nephrologist, 2016.
With improvements in supportive care, mortality from sepsis and the acute respiratory distress syndrome has declined over the past 20 years. However, mortality associated with these conditions is still high. We will review the latest clinical trial findings in these fields, along with implications for the nephrologist. Very recently, there have been significant changes with regard to the management of anterior ischemic strokes; given the high rate of cerebrovascular disease in patients with CKD or ESRD, we will review those studies here. Finally, we will comment on best care practices in the intensive care unit, which are relevant to the nephrologist.
