TL;DR: The Acute Disease Quality Initiative (ADQI) proposes definitions, staging criteria for AKD, and strategies for the management of affected patients, and makes recommendations for areas of future research, which aim to improve understanding of the underlying processes and improve outcomes for patients with AKD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic Dialysis and Death Among Survivors of Acute Kidney Injury Requiring Dialysis
TL;DR: Acute kidney injury necessitating in-hospital dialysis was associated with an increased risk of chronic dialysis but not all-cause mortality, and the primary end point was the need for chronicdialysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Declining Mortality in Patients with Acute Renal Failure, 1988 to 2002
TL;DR: Evidence from an administrative database that the incidence of ARF and ARF-D is rising is provided, despite an increase in the degree of comorbidity, in-hospital mortality has declined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology and outcomes of acute renal failure in hospitalized patients: a national survey.
TL;DR: In a US representative sample of hospitalized patients, the presence of an ICD-9-CM code for ARF in discharge records is associated with prolonged LOS, increased mortality, and, among survivors, a greater requirement for posthospitalization care.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urinary N-Acetyl-β-(D)-Glucosaminidase Activity and Kidney Injury Molecule-1 Level Are Associated with Adverse Outcomes in Acute Renal Failure

TL;DR: Urinary markers of kidney injury such as NAG and KIM-1 can predict adverse clinical outcomes in patients with ARF and persisted after adjustment for APACHE II, Multiple Organ Failure score, or the combined covariates cirrhosis, sepsis, oliguria, and mechanical ventilation.
