Table 1.

Diagnostic criteria for AKI according to RIFLE, AKIN and KDIGO. RIFLE, Risk Injury Failure Loss and End-Stage Renal Failure; AKIN, Acute Kidney Injury Network; KDIGO, Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes; Scr, serum creatinine; RRT, renal replacement therapy.

Class/Stage Criterion SCr/GFR Urine Output
RIFLE AKIN KDIGO RIFLE/AKIN/KDIGO
Risk (RIFLE)/
Stage 1 (AKIN and KDIGO)
SCr increase ×1.5 within 7 days or GFR decrease >25% SCr increase ≥26.5 μmol/L (≥0.3 mg/dL) within 48 h or 1.5–2× within 7 days SCr increase ≥26.5 μmol/L (≥0.3 mg/dL) within 48 h or 1.5–1.9× within 7 days <0.5 mL/kg/h (>6 h)
Injury (RIFLE)/
Stage 2 (AKIN and KDIGO)
SCr increase ×2 or GFR decrease >50% SCr increase 2–3× SCr increase 2–2.9× <0.5 mL/kg/h (>12 h)
Failure (RIFLE)/
