Summary
Animal and human studies have shown that the administration of vitamin B3 (niacin) improves
renal ischemia; helping to recover from acute kidney injury (AKI) more effectively;
Therefore, its use in patients with AKI could improve short-term outcomes: accelerating the
recovery of renal function, reducing the days of hospital stay and costs; as well as reducing
the incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) or progression of CKD after an episode of AKI.
Our main objective is to determine the usefulness of the administration of vitamin B complex
as a treatment for established acute kidney injury and its effect on short and long-term
outcomes.
