Clinical implications of persistently increased blood urea nitrogen/serum creatinine ratio (PI-BUN/Cr) in severe COVID-19 patients
While PI-BUN/Cr alone may not directly associate with mortality, its capacity to sub-phenotype patients according to their AKI status holds significant promise in offering valuable insights into patient prognosis and outcomes. Understanding the nuanced relationship between PI-BUN/Cr and AKI enhances our comprehension of renal function dynamics. It equips healthcare providers with a refined tool for risk stratification and personalized patient management strategies.
