Increased compensatory kidney workload results in cellular damage in a short time porcine model of mixed acidemia - Is acidemia a 'first hit' in acute kidney injury?

Acute kidney injury (AKI) corrupts the outcome of about 50% of all critically ill patients. We investigated the possible contribution of the pathology acidemia on the development of AKI.
