Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common syndrome encountered in critical illness and is associated with significant morbidity and increased mortality. Despite attempts to prevent the development of AKI, its incidence continues to rise, probably due to increased recognition in the setting of clearer definitions of the stages of AKI. Despite advances in the field of Nephrology, the treatment of AKI and its complications remains difficult in clinical practice. Critical care clinicians must have an understanding of the current definitions, pathophysiology, and treatment modalities. Renal replacement therapy (RRT) is a mainstay of treatment, but a lack of consensus regarding the optimal timing for initiation remains. There is a need for further research regarding both the timing of initiation of RRT and biomarkers that might allow earlier detection, differentiation of etiologies and monitoring of interventions.

Myoglobinuric renal failure is the classically described acute renal event occurring in disaster environments—commonly after an earthquake—which most tests the ingenuity and flexibility of local and regional nephrology resources. In recent decades, several nephrology organizations have developed response teams and planning protocols to address disaster events, largely focusing on patients at risk for, or with, acute kidney injury (AKI). In this paper we briefly review the epidemiology and outcomes of patients with dialysis-requiring AKI after such events, while providing greater focus on the management of the end-stage renal disease population after a disaster which incapacitates a pre-existing nephrologic infrastructure (if it existed at all). “Austere” dialysis, as such, is defined as the provision of renal replacement therapy in any setting in which traditional, first-world therapies and resources are limited, incapacitated, or nonexistent.
