Popis: Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in 3.2 - 9.6% of hospital admissions and in 2.1 - 22.1% of prevalent intensive care unit patients, worldwide. There is a sexual dimorphism in the AKI evolution with implications of sex hormones, endothelin etc. We provide a mini-review on the gender-related differences in the AKI evolution.
