Table 1.
Classification and definitions of AKI according to ICA-AKI.
ICA-AKI Stages | Serum Creatinine |
| |
Stage 1 | Increase above 0.3mg/dL or elevation of 1.5 to 2 times baseline value |
| |
Stage 2 | Increase between twice and three times baseline value |
| |
Stage 3 | Increase greater than three times baseline value or of over 4mg/dL after an increase of at least 0.5mg/dL or need for dialysis |
| |
Progression: moving to greater stage or need for dialysis | |
Regression: moving into milder stage | |
Response to treatment: | |
Complete: return to creatinine value under 0.3mg/dL of baseline | |
Incomplete: regression in ICA-AKI stage or reduction of creatinine value of 0.3mg/dL or more of baseline value | |
Absent: no regression of AKI. |
