Acute kidney injury after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: is chloride really responsible?

Abstract

Sadan et al. find an association between acute kidney injury and high chloride containing a hypertonic solution. Recent large prospective non-randomized studies bring conflicting results on the relationship between chloride and acute kidney injury. We discuss Sadan et al.'s results according to the recent literature.
