RIFLE, AKIN, and KDIGO classification for AKI diagnosis.

RIFLE AKIN KDIGO Urine output
Criteria Creatinine definition Criteria Creatinine definition Criteria Creatinine definition
Risk ≥1.5-fold increase from baseline SCr
or decrease in GFR ≥25%
Stage 1 ≥0.3 mg/dL increase or ≥1.5-fold increase from baseline SCr within 48 hrs Stage 1 ≥0.3 mg/dL increase within 48 hrs or 1.5–1.9 times baseline within 7 days <0.5 mL/kg/h for >6 hours

Injury ≥2-fold increase from baseline SCr
or decrease in GFR ≥50%
Stage 2 ≥2-fold increase from baseline SCr Stage 2 2.0–2.9 times baseline within 7 days <0.5 mL/kg/h for 12 hours

Failure ≥3-fold increase from baseline SCr
or increase to ≥4 mg/dL or decrease in GFR ≥75%
Stage 3 ≥3-fold increase from baseline SCr or increase to ≥4.0 mg/dL with an acute increase of >0.5 mg/dL
or initiation of RRT
Stage 3 ≥3 times baseline within 7 days or increase to ≥4.0 mg/dL with an acute increase of >0.5 mg/dL
or initiation of RRT
<0.3 mL/kg/h for 24 hours or anuria for >12 hours

RIFLE: risk, injury, failure, loss, end-stage kidney disease; AKIN: acute kidney injury network; KDIGO: kidney disease: improving global outcomes; SCr: serum creatinine; GFR: glomerular filtration rate; RRT: renal replacement therapy.

Urine output criteria are common to three definitions.
