Renal recovery following acute kidney injury
Patients with incomplete renal recovery after AKI are underrepresented in most
epidemiologic studies and the precise effect on the incidence and prevalence of end stage
renal disease population has yet to be determined. A standardized definition for renal
recovery is needed and the influence of an AKI episode on long-term outcomes needs to be
better evaluated.
