Acute Kidney Injury Network: report of an initiative to improve outcomes in acute kidney injury
INTRODUCTION Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complex disorder for which currently there is no accepted definition. Having a uniform standard for diagnosing and classifying AKI would enhance our ability to manage these patients. Future clinical and translational research in AKI will require collaborative networks of investigators drawn from various disciplines, dissemination of information via mu...
متن کاملacute kidney injury in urology patients: incidence, causes and outcomes
conclusions aki is common in urology patients. the underlying aetiologies of aki in this group may explain a lower overall mortality, although increasing aki severity remains a marker of patients at higher risk of poor outcomes. the low rate of renal recovery suggests that urology patients who sustain aki are exposed to a significant risk of ckd and its attendant consequences for long term heal...
متن کاملAcute kidney injury and cardiovascular outcomes in acute severe hypertension.
BACKGROUND Little is known about the association of kidney dysfunction and outcome in acute severe hypertension. This study aimed to measure the association between baseline chronic kidney disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate), acute kidney injury (AKI, decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate > or =25% from baseline) and outcome in patients hospitalized with acute severe hyper...
متن کاملImproving outcomes in patients with Acute Kidney Injury: the impact of hospital based automated AKI alerts
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Early identification may improve the outcome and in 2012 our hospital introduced an automated AKI alert system for early detection and management of AKI. OBJECTIVES Using an automated AKI alert system we analysed whether early review and intervention by the Critical Care and Outreach (CCOT) team improved p...
متن کاملAcute kidney injury leading to chronic kidney disease and long-term outcomes of acute kidney injury: the best opportunity to mitigate acute kidney injury?
Acute kidney injury (AKI) has been shown to be associated with progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Multiple studies have shown that subsets of AKI survivors are at high risk for progression to advanced stage CKD and death. Risk factors associated with AKI survivors progressing to CKD have been identified and include advanced age, diabetes mellitus, decreased baseline glomerular filtrat...
