Renal Replacement Therapy Timing in Acute Kidney Injury

Quick fact

The 2020 STARRT-AKI trial, which studied over 2,900 critically ill patients, found no overall survival difference between early and delayed dialysis, but early dialysis was linked to more adverse events—challenging the 'sooner is always better' assumption.

Why this is interesting

A patient’s kidneys suddenly stop filtering waste—doctors know dialysis is needed, but the biggest debate is: should we start now or wait? Getting it wrong can cost lives, yet starting too early might harm just as much.
