Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) complicates 55–60% of intensive care unit (ICU) admissions [ 1] and 5–23% of all hospital admissions [ 2, 3]. While AKI recognition is increasing, it can be missed by clinicians in close to a quarter of cases [ 4, 5]. Early intervention can improve outcome and reduce the risk of further worsening of kidney function [ 6, 7].Keywords
