Pathophysiology of Sepsis-Associated Acute Kidney Injury: What Have We Learned?
Includes a Live Web Event on 03/11/2025 at 11:00 AM (PDT)
Description:
Date: Tuesday, March 11
Time: 2:00 - 3:00 pm ET / 11:00 am - 12:00 PM PT
Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) remains a critical complication with significant implications for patient outcomes. In recognition of World Kidney Day on March 13, 2025, this webinar will explore the clinical criteria used to identify AKI in septic patients, highlighting the most relevant diagnostic markers. The complex pathophysiological mechanisms driving kidney dysfunction in the context of sepsis will be examined, emphasizing the interplay between inflammation, hemodynamic instability, and cellular injury. Additionally, this webinar will help healthcare professionals better assess how AKI influences prognosis, considering key risk factors and long-term clinical outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of the activity, the learner should be able to:
- Apply clinical criteria to identify AKI in patients with sepsis;
- Analyze the key pathophysiological mechanisms contributing to AKI in patients with sepsis;
- Evaluate the prognostic implications of AKI in patients with sepsis based on clinical outcomes and risk factors.
Target Audience:
Nurses, advanced practice providers, physicians, emergency responders, pharmacists, medical technologists, respiratory therapists, physical/occupational therapists, infection prevention specialists, data/quality specialists, and more.
Webinar Supporters:
Sepsis Alliance gratefully acknowledges the support provided for this webinar by the Sepsis Alliance Institute sponsors.

His research interests focus on the development and validation of acute illness biomarkers, mostly in the setting of sepsis, septic shock, and Acute Kidney Injury, intending to improve the non-optimal performance of current diagnostic methods. He has investigated diagnostic and therapeutic interventions associated with outcomes in severely ill patients with sepsis, being the principal investigator of several clinical trials. He was Full Professor of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine and Medical Director of the surgical ICU and Burn ICU at Paris Diderot University before moving to the University of California - San Francisco (UCSF) in 2019.
