Targeting Recovery from Acute Kidney Injury: Executive Summary from the Round Table Conference at the 19th International Conference on Continuous Renal Replacement Therapies (Manchester Grand Hyatt, San Diego, Calif., USA, March 2-3, 2014)

This round table conference highlights an emerging area for focused attention. Based on the discussion it is evident that there is a great need for further improving our knowledge of the underlying mechanisms, course and outcomes of recovery following AKI. We believe there is a great need for developing tools for assessing likelihood of renal recovery, differentiating recovery from progression and identifying therapeutic targets for enhancing recovery from AKI. We anticipate that the discussion from this conference will provide a framework for future endeavors in this area and will provide a means to improve our patient’s lives.
