The Spectrum of Biopsy-Proven Kidney Diseases, Causes, and Renal Outcomes in Acute Kidney Injury Patients

Abstract

Most biopsied AKI patients have coexisting GD, while ATIN alone is seen less frequently. ATIN-AKI is mainly caused by drugs. In GD-AKI patients, IgAN, MCD, FSGS, LN, MN, and AAV are the leading diagnoses. Compared to AKI patients without GD, patients with GD suffer from worse renal function recovery.
