The effect of diabetes mellitus on organ dysfunction with sepsis: an epidemiological study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The timing of initiation of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in severe acute kidney injury (AKI) remains controversial, with early initiation resulting in unnecessary therapy for some patients while expectant therapy may delay RRT for other patients. The furosemide stress test (FST) has been shown to predict ...
