  1. All models were adjusted for age, gender, race, Charlson comorbidity index, baseline eGFR, non-renal APACHE II, study site, and serum creatinine at the time of sample collection (t1)

  3. #Interaction p value denotes the statistical interaction between IL-17A and AKI status (AKI vs. non-AKI) for the secondary study outcomes
