The effect of augmented protein intake on nitrogen balance: A nested cohort study of the TARGET protein trial

Purpose The impact of augmenting enteral protein delivery on nitrogen balance, urea generation, and kidney function in critically ill patients remains poorly defined. This study aimed to investigate these effects in a nested cohort within the TARGET Protein trial. Methods We cond...

Acute kidney injury and renal replacement therapy: a critical synthesis of metabolic derangements and nutritional implications

Acute kidney injury (AKI) affects up to 50% of critically ill patients and is frequently complicated by severe metabolic derangements, requiring the initiation of replacement therapy (RRT) in 10–15% of cases. Despite substantial progress in the diagnosis of AKI and optimisation o...
