Acute kidney injury (AKI) recognition: the process and its modifiers. In addition to the usual AKI trajectory from clinical suspicion to confirmation to diagnosis, other factors modify the process. The degree of AKI awareness, the context in which the patient is encountered, and the available diagnostic resources may facilitate, delay, or impede the achievement of early AKI diagnosis. CKD, chronic kidney disease; KDIGO, Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes; POC, point of care.
