A Proposed Predictive Equation for Energy Expenditure Estimation Among Noncritically Ill Patients With Acute Kidney Injury

The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) is identified more frequently in noncritical compared with intensive care settings.

However, a method for estimating the optimal amount of energy required to guide nutritional support among noncritically ill AKI patients is yet to be determined.
