Plasma proteomics defines two reproducible subphenotypes of sepsis-associated acute kidney injury with distinct outcomes.

Nature communications·August 19, 2026·PMID 42844256

Why it matters

Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury is heterogeneous, and previous treatment trials have failed. This proteomic classification identifies a high-risk inflammatory subgroup that may respond to targeted therapy, potentially enabling precision medicine in critical care.
