Intensive care nephrology is crucial for managing critically ill patients for the prevention, recognition and management of acute kidney injury including renal replacement therapy and blood purification. It ensures timely intervention through specialized dialysis and monitoring, improving overall survival rates and recovery outcomes in the ICU setting. This learning pathway guides clinicians from beginners to highly skilled and knowledgeable professionals, ensuring they are equipped with the latest information and, just as importantly, the skills and ability to stay current as knowledge continues to evolve.
