Research progress on the relationship between serum calcium and acute kidney injury / 中华肾脏病杂志

ABSTRACT

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common diseases worldwide, and its incidence and mortality rate are increasing year by year. The key to improve the prognosis of AKI is early diagnosis and early intervention. As an endogenous nephrotoxic substance, the increase or decrease of serum calcium has a certain suggestive effect on the diagnosis and treatment of AKI. We reviewed the research progress of the relationship between serum calcium and AKI, to improve clinicians' understanding of the role of serum calcium in the diagnosis and treatment of AKI.
