Incidence and Risk Factors for Early Acute Kidney Injury in Nonsurgical Patients: A Cohort Study.

Conclusions. The incidence of EAKI in nonsurgical patients is similar to the worldwide incidence of AKI. The risk factors included CKD from stage 3 onwards, prehospital treatment with nephrotoxic drugs, and VTE at admission. EAKI is associated with prolonged hospital stay, increased mortality rate, and dialysis requirement. PMID: 28487772 [PubMed - in process]
