Elevated albumin-corrected anion gap Linked to Increased AKI Risk in Critical acute pancreatitis Patients: Study

A new study published in the journal of BMC Nephrology showed that that elevated albumin-corrected anion gap (ACAG) levels (≥ 20.25 mmol/L) at ICU admission were significantly associated with a higher risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients suffering from acute pancreatitis (AP). High incidence, quick progression, and multisystem complications are characteristics of […]
