Among the organic dysfunctions frequently developed in the context of sepsis, the renal system is involved. The purpose of this review is to provide an updated summary about the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in renal failure within the context of sepsis and the available biomarkers. A bibliographic search was carried out using the PubMed database using the MeSH terminology using the following strategy: [(acute kidney injury) AND (sepsis)], [(pathophysiology) AND (sepsis)], (acute kidney injury) AND (prevention)]. Articles with a date of publication between 2015 and 2020 categorized as narrative review and clinical practice guidelines were reviewed.
