Profile of Community-Acquired Acute Kidney Injury Defined Using RIFLE Criteria Among Medical In-Patients: A Prospective Descriptive Single Centre Study.

Conclusion: The incidence of AKI among medical in-patients was 6.5%, with an incremental risk of mortality in risk, injury and failure classes. Pneumonia and acute gastroenteritis among infections and chronic liver disease have greater odds of developing AKI. Hypotension, leucocytosis, smoking, alcohol and aetiology are independent risk factors for AKI. PMID: 31793262 [PubMed - in process]
