Description

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), formally Acute Renal Failure (ARF), is a prevalent disease process that affects over 50% of ICU admissions. AKI is not only caused by a variety of etiologies, but it can be hard to clearly define depending on your diagnostic capabilities. Tune in to this next podcast episode where we are joined by Dan "Analogy King" Rauh for a general discussion of AKI. We touch on fractional excretion of sodium (FENa) versus BUN/Creatinine ratio, mixed venous oxygenation saturation (SvO2), and when they matter. Still administering "renal dose" Dopamine? Make sure you listen until the end of the episode! ------------------------------------------------  Follow us on Twitter @HLTHPodcast Follow us on Facebook @heavyliesthehelmet Visit our website at heavyliesthehelmet.com Contact us at heavyliesthehelmet@gmail.com Disclaimer: The views, information, or opinions expressed during the Heavy Lies the Helmet, LLC podcast are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of their employers and their employees.

"Heavy lies the crown" is a common misquote of "uneasy lies the head that wears a crown" from Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 2. It refers to the responsibility and insecurity of governing an entire kingdom.
