Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs up to 50% of patients admitted to intensive care unit. Plasma Endostatin, released from basement membrane of Bowman's capsule, rises early during AKI. Aim of Work: To investigate the role of the plasma endostatin in the outcome prediction (renal recovery, ICU stay, mortality) of acute kidney injury in patients with sepsis. Methods: a prospective, observational single center study on 40 patients with Sepsis at the Critical Care Department, Cairo University hospitals between March 2019 and November 2019. Serum plasma endostatin was measured at the day of admission \& every 48hrs (3 samples). APACHE II, SOFA scores were calculated. Forced diuresis was used if indicated.
