Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common condition among sepsis patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Oxidative stress biomarkers were investigated in panels and were reported to predict renal failure in sepsis patients. Research on AKI has focused on new damage biomarkers for early detection of AKI and worsening of renal function. Some biomarkers would be able to identify who will recover and not recover better than serum creatinine. Thus, a combining functional and damage markers as well as oxidative stress biomarkers are needed to predict the occurrence or progression of AKI in critically ill patients. Therefore, this prospective, observational study will be conducted in Mainland China
