One Year's Observational Study of Acute Kidney Injury Incidence in Primary Care; Frequency of Follow-Up Serum Creatinine and Mortality Risk

Abstract

AKI is associated with increased admission and mortality rates; although a large proportion of patients had repeat creatinine testing within 14 days, there was still a significant number with delayed follow-up. Education within Primary Care is required on how to prevent, identify, follow-up and manage AKI.
