SAPS II: Simplified Acute Physiology Score 2; MAP: mean arterial pressure; ICU: intensive care unit; H0: time of first urine sample. Basal serum creatinine was defined as the serum creatinine level measured during the 12 months preceding the onset of septic shock. In the absence of a previous serum creatinine assay, basal serum creatinine was estimated according to the KDIGO guideline [3]. All baseline parameters have been recorded at inclusion. Baseline urine output was the volume of urine excreted by hour during the 4 to 6 hours preceding the inclusion.
