1. Diagnostic criteria for AKI
Diagnostic criteria for AKI. Both pRIFLE and KDIGO classification systems stratify AKI into levels of severity, determined by changes in serum creatinine (SCr)/estimated creatinine clearance (eCCl) and changes in urine output.
Diagnostic criteria for AKI. Both pRIFLE and KDIGO classification systems stratify AKI into levels of severity, determined by changes in serum creatinine (SCr)/estimated creatinine clearance (eCCl) and changes in urine output. AKI severity strata can be reached through fulfilling criteria for either changes in SCr/eCCl or changes in urine output. AKI, acute kidney injury; pRIFLE, paediatric Risk or renal dysfunction, Injury to the kidney, Failure of kidney function, Loss of kidney function, and End-stage renal disease. KDIGO, Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes; RRT, renal replacement therapy; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate.
