Research progress of measures for renal perfusion adjustment in sepsis patients / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Sepsis is the result of systemic inflammatory reaction induced by bacteria, virus or fungus infection, and it can lead to shock, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, and even death. It has become the main cause for death of the patients in intensive care unit (ICU). Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common, and the most serious complications in the course of sepsis, and it is characterized by acute renal failure (ARF). The incidence of AKI would climb with the severity of sepsis, and it is significantly more eminent than the other factors. Along with the advancement in the research on sepsis, a new understanding in the treatment of renal injury caused by sepsis is gradually obtained, and attention is given to the improvement of renal perfusion. In this review, we review the measures for adjusting the renal perfusion.
