“Biomarkers For Early Risk Assessment Of Acute Kidney Injury” :
“Novel Biomarkers for Acute Kidney Injury” :
“2012 ESICM Symposium – New AKI Biomarkers – Panel Discussion 1” :
There are quite a few youtube videos to be found relating to AKI and biomarkers, several, like the last one posted above, from ESICM (European Society of Intensive Care Medicine) 2012 – please do have a look and return here to discuss!
ISICEM (International Symposium on Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine) 2013 is held from today to March 22nd in Brussels.
thanks SA – we'll add this article to our library…
