Integrated approach to interpret measures of kidney function and structure for diagnosis of AKI, AKD, and CKD 73 Table 15. CI-AKI risk-scoring model for percutaneous coronary intervention

Classifies severity of acute kidney injury, similar to RIFLE Criteria. Patients on renal replacement therapy (RRT) are considered to be stage 3 regardless of whether they meet formal criteria. Criteria for AKI (must have ≥1 within the past 48 hrs)

Here we provide a critical and comprehensive discussion of the two classifications for AKI, focusing on the main differences, advantages and limitations. Keywords: acute kidney injury, AKIN, RIFLE. Over the last few decades, more than 35 different definitions have been used to define acute kidney injury (AKI) [1].

The AKI/AKD Guideline is intended to include adult, pediatric, and neonatal populations, those cared for in the hospital setting, in the community, and in care facilities.

AKI is a subset of acute kidney disease (AKD) and can occur in the presence or absence of other acute or chronic kidney disease (Figure 4 and Table 3). KHA-CARI Adaptation of KDIGO Clinical Practice Guideline for Acute Kidney Injury

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in the intensive care unit, where it is associated with increased mortality. AKI is often defined using creatinine and urine output criteria.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is defined by the impairment of kidney filtration and excretory function over days to weeks, resulting in the retention of nitrogenous and other waste products normally cleared by the kidneys.
