Natural history of acute kidney injury (AKI). The phases of AKI have previously been described by Sutton et al. (8). We now expand the concept to include progression to CKD/ESRD as an additional phase of AKI. Patients who survive AKI can have several different outcomes: (1) full recovery (red line), (2) development of AKI leading to CKD/ESRD (black line), (3) exacerbation of preexisting CKD leading to CKD/ESRD (blue line), and (4) nonrecovery of AKI leading to ESRD (dashed lines).
