- AKI = acute kidney injury, n = number of study subjects, BMI = body mass index, s = serum, u = urine, Cr = creatinine, FeNa+ = fractional excretion of sodium, SBP = systolic blood pressure, DBP = diastolic blood pressure, HR = heart rate, bpm = beats per minute, ICU = intensive care unit. *P values were calculated with Fisher's exact test for categorical variables, and ANOVA (log-transformed, adjusted for covariates: age, sex) for continuous variables. Plus-minus values are mean ± one SEM. Bold: p ≤ 0.05.
