Abstract

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the abrupt loss of kidney function defined by a rapid (over hours to days) decline in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) resulting in the retention of metabolic nitrogenous waste products and dysregulation of fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base homeostasis [1]. In 2002, the Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative (ADQI) Group proposed the first consensus definition of AKI. The ADQI work group proposed a classification scheme with three grades based on the magnitude of the increase in serum creatinine level and/or decrease in urine output. The change in serum creatinine was specified as occurring over not more than seven days. Conceptually, the lower grade would provide the greatest sensitivity for diagnosing AKI, whereas the higher grade would provide increasing specificity of diagnosis.
