Evaluation of “Loss” and “End stage renal disease” after acute kidney injury defined by the Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss and ESRD classification in critically ill patients

摘要

Purpose The Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss and ESRD (RIFLE) classification has been widely accepted for the definition of acute kidney injury (AKI); however, no study has described in detail the last two stages of the classification: “Loss” and “ESRD”. We aim to describe and evaluate the development of “Loss” and “ESRD” in a group of critically ill patients.
