  • Hepatic insufficiency: Child-Pugh B&C.

  • Sepsis shock: Compliance with diagnostic criteria of sepsis 3.0.

  • By measuring the serum creatinine level, the Cockcroft formula was used to calculate the endogenous creatinine clearance (CrCl), CrCl = [(140-age) × weight (kg)] / [0.818×Cr (μmol / L)]. For women, the calculation result × 0.85.

  • AKI, Acute Kidney Injury, Compliance with Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) AKI Guideline 2021; APACHE, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation; Cr, Serum Creatinine; CrCl, Serum Creatinine Clearance; SOFA, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment.
