摘要

A recent meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (with pre-specified methods and the largest sample to date) found that prophylactic diuretics significantly reduce acute kidney injury (AKI) incidence in high-risk patients but provide no benefit in treating established AKI. These findings challenge current AKI management guidelines, which generally discourage prophylactic diuretic use. However, given heterogeneity among trials and some risk of bias, caution is advised before generally altering clinical practice until further research confirms these findings.
