Key takeaways

This is a consensus statement from two expert groups about sudden kidney injury in patients on ECMO, a machine that takes over for failing heart or lungs. They report that 40 to 80 percent of ECMO patients develop sudden kidney injury, and about 40 to 50 percent of those need continuous dialysis. The causes are mixed: shock before ECMO, inflammation, and blood problems from the machine itself. This is expert opinion and background numbers, not a new study, so there are no new results.
