Acute Kidney Injury

Mission

The Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) section is devoted to research and educational activities in the field of acute kidney injury and related issues.
The main goals of the AKI section are the improvement of knowledge of all aspects of pathophysiology, prevention and treatment of AKI in critically ill patients, as well as enhanced education to improve knowledge and outcomes of this syndrome affecting about 50% of patients treated in the ICU.

Recent examples of the scientific and educational activities of the section are the consensus papers on Prevention of acute kidney injury and protection of renal function in the intensive care unit: update 2017 (Intensive Care Medicine 2017), and the Clinical practice guideline on diagnosis and treatment of hyponatraemia (Intensive Care Medicine 2014).

All ESICM members interested in this field are very welcome to participate in the activities of our section and join our group. For further information please contact the Chair John Prowle.

The next AKI Section meeting will be on Monday, 27 October 2025, from 12:30 to 13:30. This will be immediately followed by the AKI-EPI2 study Investigators meeting from 13:30 to 14:30. Both meetings will take place in room BM2 – Ostersee BC of the International Congress Centre (Messegelände, 81823 München) in Munich.
