Outcomes of acute kidney injury in critically ill adults with tropical acute febrile illness: Prospective observational study

BACKGROUND Tropical acute febrile illness (TAFI) is a major illness with a large number of intensive care unit (ICU) admissions in tropical regions. It is frequently complicated by acute kidney injury (AKI) and associated poor outcomes. The data on the predictors of outcomes, in terms of in-hospital mortality and renal outcomes, amongst critically-ill TAFI patients from our region remain limited. AIM To evaluate the clinical profile and outcomes of AKI amongst critically-ill TAFI patients and to
