Black and White Adults With CKD Hospitalized With Acute Kidney Injury: Findings From the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) Study.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale & objective

Few studies have investigated racial disparities in acute kidney injury (AKI), in contrast to the extensive literature on racial differences in the risk of kidney failure. We sought to study potential differences in risk in the setting of chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Study design

Prospective cohort study.

Setting & participants

We studied 2,720 self-identified Black or White participants with CKD enrolled in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) Study from July 1, 2013, to December 31, 2017.

Exposure

Self-reported race (Black vs White).

Outcome

Hospitalized AKI (≥50% increase from nadir to peak serum creatinine).

Analytical approach

Cox regression models adjusting for demographics (age and sex), prehospitalization cl
