Kidney recovery in patients discharged to an acute rehabilitation facility with acute kidney injury requiring hemodialysis 
.

CONCLUSION: Almost 2/3 of AKI-RRT patients discharged to an affiliated LTACH with ongoing HD need recovered kidney function. Anemia and the number of HD sessions and intradialytic hypotension episodes were associated with kidney recovery. Future studies should focus on developing risk-stratification tools for kidney recovery and determining best practices to promote recovery in this susceptible population.
