Community-acquired acute kidney injury in India: data from ISN-acute kidney injury registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute kidney injury (AKI), particularly community-acquired AKI (CA-AKI), is a major health concern globally. The International Society of Nephrology's "0 by 25" initiative to reduce preventable deaths from AKI to zero by 2025 is not achievable in low and middle income countries, such as India, possibly due to a lack of data and measures to tackle this urgent public health issue. In India, CA-AKI predisposes younger patients to hospitalization, morbidity, and mortality. This is the first multicenter, prospective, cohort study investigating CA-AKI and its consequences in India.

Methods

This study included data from patients with CA-AKI (>12 years of age) housed in the Indian Society of Nephrology-AKI registry, involving 9 participating tertiary care centers in India
