Acute kidney injury does not explain sex differences in kidney replacement therapy initiation or death amongst individuals with chronic kidney disease reported to the UK Renal Registry
Being male was associated with a higher risk of AKI2/3, KRT initiation and death. Fewer females appeared in nephrology care data than expected from population CKD prevalence. However, no evidence was found to support the hypothesis that AKI2/3 explains the higher KRT initiation rates seen amongst males.
