Popis: BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) during hospitalization is frequent and associated with adverse outcomes. We have now evaluated the association between renal function recovery after AKI and short-term post-discharge mortality. METHODS This is a retrospective study of all AKI episodes codified in the electronic records of a single center in 2013 and 2014. Epidemiological data and comorbidities at baseline and laboratory values at admission and discharge were collected. Persistent kidney dysfunction after AKI was defined as a last serum creatinine equal or above 1.2-fold over baseline level. Patients were followed for 30 days after discharge. RESULTS Out of 1720 evaluated patients, 1541 (89%) were analyzed. Of them, 869 (56%) recovered renal function. Independent predictors of renal function recovery after AKI were lower baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (p
