Title: Impact of Acute Kidney Injury on Mortality in Patients with Acute Variceal Bleeding
Version: 4 Date: 08 May 2021
Reviewer's report:
The authors consistently stated that the ICA criteria can identify AKI "earlier" than conventional
criteria, but provided only 56 cases in which AKI was not diagnosed by conventional criteria,
and highlighted 3 of these deaths in an attempt to show that conventional criteria underestimate
the complication.
But like other reviewers, I wish the authors had more convincing evidence to back up their
"earlier" claim.
