Acute Kidney Injury and Chronic Kidney Disease: A Work in Progress

[摘要] Short-term outcomes of acute kidney injury (AKI), such as length of hospital stay and inpatient mortality, are well documented. Recently, the impact of AKI on long-term outcomes—a largely undefined body of knowledge—has come into focus. Evidence associating AKI in the inpatient setting with extended outcomes of mortality and the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) has materialized. Several studies have linked severity of AKI with increased likelihood of mortality, developing end-ESRD, or chronic kidney disease (1–3). Others have found an association between temporary dialysis support for AKI in CKD patients and progression to ESRD (4).
