The physician response to AKI was determined through a treatment composite score that captured changes in medical management in response to AKI, including a reduction (\u226550%) or discontinuation of selected medication classes [angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors\/angiotensin receptor blockers (ACE-Is\/ARBs), beta-blockers, and diuretics] and fluids administration. ACE-Is\/ARBs, beta-blockers, and diuretics were reduced or discontinued in 103 (55.4%), 84 (38.9%), and 166 (61.5%), respectively. Fluids were administered to 130 (46.9%) patients. Discontinuation rates of ACE-Is\/ARBs, beta-blockers, diuretics, and fluids administration were higher in patients with hypotension (systolic blood pressure &amp;lt; 90 mm Hg; P = 0.001). In a logistic regression model, a composite score &amp;gt; 1 was associated with greater likelihood of renal function recovery (odds ratio 3.47, 95% confidence interval 2.06\u20135.83; P &amp;lt; 0.0001) but with a smaller reduction in congestion index (P = 0.021). Unadjusted 6 months mortality was higher in patients with a composite treatment score &amp;gt; 1 (hazard ratio 1.71, 95% confidence interval 1.12\u20132.61; P = 0.01). After adjustments, the treatment composite score was no longer associated with mortality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Discontinuation or dose reduction of diuretics or neurohormonal blockers may improve renal outcome at the price of less efficient decongestion.
