Risk Factors for Recurrent Acute Kidney Injury in a Large Population-Based Cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale & objective

Acute kidney injury (AKI) has numerous sequelae. Repeated episodes of AKI may be an important determinant of adverse outcomes, including chronic kidney disease and death. In a population-based cohort study, we sought to determine the incidence of and predictors for recurrent AKI.

Study design

Retrospective cohort study.

Setting & participants

38,659 hospitalized members of Kaiser Permanente Northern California who experienced an episode of AKI from 2006 to 2013.

Predictors

Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data, including baseline kidney function, proteinuria, hemoglobin level, comorbid conditions, and severity of AKI.

Outcomes

Incidence and predictors of recurrent AKI.

Analytical approach

Multivariable Cox proportional h
