Risk profile formation for AKI

Exposures	Susceptibilities
• Sepsis • Critical illness • Circulatory shock • Burns • Trauma • Cardiac surgery (especially with cardio-pulmonary bypass) • Major non-cardiac surgery • Nephrotoxic drugs • Radiocontrast agents • Poisonous plants and animals • …	• Dehydration and volume depletion • Advanced age • Female gender • Black race • CKD • Chronic diseases (heart, lung, liver) • Diabetes mellitus • Cancer • Anaemia • …

Susceptibilities and exposures lead to formation of an individual risk profile for the development of AKI in each patient.
