Journal Club: Department of Medicine, LGMC

Thank you for joining Journal Club, developed by the department of medicine at Lafayette General Medical Center.

The Journal Club was set up by the Department of Medicine as a means of sharing information among fellow physicians, nurses and providers whereby pertinent medical articles and journals are discussed. The purpose of The Journal Club is purely educational so that health care providers can stay up to date with current medical literature.

Below please find articles for the upcoming Journal Club:

1. Intermittent versus continuous renal replacement therapy for acute
kidney injury patients admitted to the intensive care unit: results
of a randomized clinical trial

2. Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) and Risk of Readmissions in Patients
With Heart Failure

3. Systematic Review: Sodium Bicarbonate Treatment Regimens for the
Prevention of Contrast-Induced Nephropathy

4. Risk of Chronic Dialysis and Death Following Acute
Kidney Injury

5. Intensity of Continuous Renal-Replacement Therapy
in Critically Ill Patients
