PRE-CONFERENCE AKI WORKSHOP
sponsored by:
The UAB-UCSD O’Brien Core Center for Acute Kidney Injury Research
Changing Paradigms in Acute Kidney Injury:
From Mechanisms to Management - $250*
With Post-Conference Online Presentation Package add $149 (see above)
Acute Kidney Injury is a rapidly evolving area where several advances have been
made in understanding the mechanisms and pathways of AKI and its effects on
other organs. Recent identification of biomarkers has provided new tools and
techniques to characterize this disorder. This pre-course workshop will provide
a comprehensive review of the most recent developments in the field and describe
emerging knowledge from basic and translational research. Results from clinical
trials will be discussed to define the best strategies for effective management
of patients and define the criteria for future studies.

Diagnostic and Prognostic Stratification in the Emergency Department Using Biomarkers of Intrinsic Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)
Review of a multicenter prospective observational study in 1635 emergency department patients to analyze
the utility of five urinary biomarkers (NGAL, KIM-1, IL-18, L-FABP, Cystatin C). We found that NGAL was
the most useful biomarker to diagnose intrinsic AKI and to assess the intensity and duration of AKI. NGAL
and KIM-1 were most effective to predict dialysis or death during hospitalization and each significantly
improved risk classification when combined with conventional predictors.

curriculum in the subjects of cultural and linguistic competency. Cultural competency
is defined as a set of integrated attitudes, knowledge, and skills that enables
health care professionals or organizations to care effectively for patients
from diverse cultures, groups, and communities. Linguistic competency is defined
as the ability of a physician or surgeon to provide patients who do not speak
English or who have limited ability to speak English, direct communication in
