Effects of continuous erythropoietin receptor activator in sepsis-induced acute kidney injury and multi-organ dysfunction.

Effects of continuous erythropoietin receptor activator in sepsis-induced acute kidney injury and multi-organ dysfunction.

BACKGROUND: Despite advances in supportive care, sepsis-related mortality remains high, especially in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI).
