Patient outcomes following AKI and AKD: a population-based cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common and associated with adverse outcomes as well as important healthcare costs. However, evidence examining the epidemiology of acute kidney disease (AKD)-recently defined as AKI persisting between 7 and 90 days-remains limited.
