Point of care measurement of plasma creatinine in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury

Summary We report the utility of an enzymatic point of care system for estimation of plasma creatinine concentration in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury. Multiple measurements were obtained from a heterogenous population admitted to a multi‐disciplinary intensive care unit. The acute...

Description
Summary:Summary We report the utility of an enzymatic point of care system for estimation of plasma creatinine concentration in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury. Multiple measurements were obtained from a heterogenous population admitted to a multi‐disciplinary intensive care unit. The acute kidney injury network guidelines were used to identify and stratify patients based on the creatinine concentration. Central laboratory values were used as comparators to assess the precision and bias of the system. Overall, point of care measurements correlated well with central pathology results (R2 = 0.991, p
