Summary

This study compared two different methods for measuring kidney function in critically ill ICU patients whose kidneys work unusually fast. Researchers tested 90 ICU patients to see if a newer test using a special dye (iohexol) gives more accurate results than the standard creatinine test. The goal was to find the best way to monitor kidney health in seriously ill patients.
