Epidemiology of acute kidney injury in the clinical emergency: A prospective cohort study at a high-complexity public university hospital in São Paulo, Brazil
AKI occurred in more than half of the admissions to the clinical emergency department of the hospital and was equally distributed between C-AKI and H-AKI. Many patients had correctable risk factors for AKI, such as dehydration and arterial hypotension (44%) at admission. The only independent risk factor for both C-AKI and H-AKI was CKD as comorbidity.
