More recently the International Club of Ascites (ICA)redefined the criteria to reach a new definition of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with cirrhosis. Dr Mairi McLean speaks to lead author Professor Paolo Angeli from the University of Padova about the scientific evidence supporting the new approach to the diagnosis and treatment of acute kidney injury.Read the full article >> http://gut.bmj.com/content/64/4/531.full
