The early prediction of acute kidney injury (AKI) in sepsis and provision of timely treatment may improve outcomes. We investigated the efficacy of the delta neutrophil index (DNI)-which reflects the fraction of immature granulocytes-in predicting sepsis-induced AKI and 30-day mortality in cases of severe sepsis or septic shock.
