Haematological malignancies and acute kidney injury requiring nephrology consultation: challenging the worst of the worst
Conclusions
Septic shock, IMV and allogeneic SCT were identified as independent predictors of death in patients with HM and AKI, with only a small chance of survival if all three were present. Depending on the combination of risk factors, the indication for aggressive life support therapies, such as RST, might be questionable.
