Figure 5 | A layered approach to the follow-up of patients with acute kidney disease (AKD). The severity of AKD should determine the frequency and intensity of follow-up care. Patients with more severe AKD should receive nephrology follow-up if feasible. Key modifiers that should prompt more frequent follow-up and assessment of kidney function are the presence of pre-existing chronic kidney disease, congestive heart failure, cirrhosis, and/or malignancy.
