Rates of recovery from AKI at 7 days showed a trend toward improved recovery in patients receiving VC compared to VPT (65.1%, 46.7%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.056), but recovery from RRT at 7 days and recovery from RRT at hospital discharge were not statistically significant between groups (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.140, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.659).
