CHAPTER

Randomized Trial of Intravenous Amino Acids for Kidney Protection in Critical Care

The chapter presents insights from a randomized trial focused on the potential benefits of intravenous amino acids in preventing acute kidney injury in cardiac surgery patients. It delves into the physiology of renal hyperperfusion and hypoperfusion, the use of amino acids to increase blood flow to the kidney, and considerations on defining kidney injury in research trials. The speakers also discuss the composition of amino acids, protein intake recommendations for normal and critically ill patients, and the implications of protein intake for postoperative cardiac surgery patients.
