Study Notes
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) Criteria
- Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) provides standardized definitions and criteria for AKI stages.
- Stage 2 AKI is characterized by specific changes in serum creatinine and urine output.
Criteria for Stage 2 AKI
- Serum Creatinine Levels: A criterion for Stage 2 is a serum creatinine increase to 1.5-1.9 times baseline.
- Urine Output: Urine output can also be a criterion but is not explicitly detailed in the options provided.
- No Inclusion of Stage 3: Stage 2 is distinct from Stage 3, which requires a serum creatinine greater than 3 times baseline.
Key Points
- Monitoring serum creatinine and urine output is essential for early detection and management of AKI.
- Understanding the criteria helps in assessing the severity of the condition and guiding treatment decisions.
