The characteristics and mortality risk factors for acute kidney injury in different age groups in China-a cross sectional study.

CONCLUSION: The characteristics and mortality factors for AKI vary by age in China. Elderly patients were the primary population with AKI, and the most common type of AKI was pre-renal AKI. Special caution should be taken to the old population in hospitalized patients to prevent the pre-renal AKI. PMID: 27756185 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
