Table 3. Patient outcomes stratified by AKIN classification of AKI.

AKIN stage 1: increase in serum creatinine ≥26.5 μmol/l (0.3 mg/dl) or increase to ≥150–199% from baseline. AKIN stage 2: increase in serum creatinine to 200–299% (>2- to 2.9-fold) from baseline. AKIN stage 3: increase in serum creatinine to ≥300% (≥3-fold) from baseline or serum creatinine ≥354 μmol/l (4.0 mg/dl) with an acute rise of at least 44.25 μmol/l (0.5 mg/dl) or initiation of RRT. Stepwise increases in median length of stay and inpatient mortality were noted with increasing AKIN grade.
