Abbreviations: y, years,…, not available, RRT, renal replacement therapy, f/u, follow-up, GFR, glomerular filtration rate, S Cr, serum creatinine (in mg/dl.), CKD, chronic kidney disease, ESRD, end-stage renal disease;

Converesion factors for units: serum creatinine in mg/dL to μmol/L, x88.4, glomerular filtration rate in mL/min/1.73m2 to mL/s/1.73m2, x0.01667.

Footnotes: Bellomo criteria- Serum creatinine > 1.44 mg/dl and urea > 48 mg/dL and/or UO < 800 ml/d or UO < 200 mL/6 hours. If had CKD baseline then AKI definition is increase in serum creatinine > 0.72 mg/dL or urea > 24 mg/dL and /or UO < 800 ml/d or UO < 200 mL/6 hours.

*

all serum creatinine values are in mg/dl
