Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SAKI) is a common complication of patients in intensive care unit, and also an independent risk factor leading to high mortality of sepsis patients. SAKI leads to an extended hospital stay for patients, resulting in a huge medical burden. The pathogenesis of SAKI is complex, and systemic inflammatory response plays an important role in it. At present, blood adsorption is the main method for treating SAKI in intensive care units, but there is no consensus on the relevant treatment strategies. This article summarizes new perspectives and research conclusions on the application of blood adsorption technology in the treatment of SAKI, aiming to provide new references for the blood adsorption treatment strategies of SAKI.
