As our study is based on registries, we were not able to identify important factors such as hypervolaemia, acidocis, hyperkalaemia or active withholding and withdrawal of renal replacement therapy as mentioned by Sigrid Breitland and Kjetil Sunde. Recommendations for treatment modalities of acute kidney injury following cardiac arrest is highly warranted.
