Core Tip	Trauma-related acute kidney injury is a critical concern in traumatic brain injury care, affecting up to 10% of intensive care unit patients. Since creatinine is a late marker, early prediction is vital. Strategies must focus on preventing hyperchloremia using novel biomarkers (e.g., neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin/kidney injury molecule 1) and risk stratification tools to detect subclinical injury and prevent collateral kidney damage.
