Popis: Objective: The Acute Kidney Injury Network's proposed definition for acute kidney injury (increment of serum creatinine ≥0.3 mg/dL or 50% from baseline within 48 hrs or urine output 6 hrs despite fluid resuscitation when applicable) predicts meaningful clinical outcomes. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: A 350-bed community teaching hospital. Patients: The study population consisted of 471 patients with no recent history of renal replacement therapy who were admitted to the medical intensive care unit during 1 yr. Interventions: Medical records of all patients were reviewed using a data abstraction tool. Demographic information, diagnoses, risk factors for acute kidney disease, physiologic and laboratory data, and outcomes were recorded. Measurements and Main Results: Of 496 patients, 471 were not receiving renal replacement therapy in the weeks before medical intensive care unit admission; 213 had changes ≥.3 mg/dL in serum creatinine within 48 hrs and/or urine output of ≥.5 mL/kg/hr for >6 hrs. Detailed fluid challenge information was available for only 123 patients, who met acute kidney injury criteria, and three patients reversed after administration of ≥500 mL of intravenous fluid and/or blood products. All patients whose creatinine increased ≥50% also had increments ≥0.3 mg/dL. The 120 patients with acute kidney injury were older (mean ± SE: 69.3 ± 1.7 vs. 62.9 ± 1.3, p
