AB  - Acute  kidney  injury  (AKI)  is  a  clinical  syndrome  generally  defined  by  an  abrupt  reduction  in  kidney  functions  as  evidenced  by  changes  in  serum  creatinine  (Scr),  blood  urea  nitrogen  (BUN),  and  urine  output.RIFLE  (Risk,  Injury,  Failure,  Loss  of  Kidney  Function,  and  End-Stage  Renal  Disease),  AKIN  (Acute  Kidney  Injury  Network),  and  the  Kidney  Disease:  Improving  Global  Outcomes  (KDIGO)  Clinical  Practice  Guidelines  are  three  criteria-based  classification  systems  developed  to  define  and  stage  AKI  in  different  patient  populations  (Table  73–1).All  three  staging  systems  have  been  validated  across  different  patient  populations  and  their  staging  correlates  closely  with  hospital  mortality,  cost,  and  length  of  stay.Scr  and  urine  output  are  the  main  diagnostic  criteria  for  each  staging  system.
