What is the global prevalence of acute kidney injury? Please provide me with some literature references
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common condition that can affect people of all ages and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The global prevalence of AKI can vary widely depending on the population being studied, the definition of AKI used, and the healthcare setting.
As of my last update, here are some literature references that discuss the prevalence of AKI:
-
Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Clinical Practice Guideline for Acute Kidney Injury - This guideline provides a comprehensive overview of AKI, including its definition, classification, and management. It is a widely recognized reference in the field.
-
Li L, et al. (2015) - "Global prevalence of chronic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis." This study provides an estimate of the prevalence of chronic kidney disease, which can be related to the prevalence of AKI in certain populations.
-
Hsu CY, et al. (2013) - "Community-based incidence of acute kidney injury: a population-based study." This study provides insights into the incidence of AKI in a community setting.
-
Waikar SS, Liu KD, Chertow GM (2008) - "Incidence and outcomes of acute kidney injury." This article discusses the incidence and outcomes of AKI in hospitalized patients.
-
Hoste EA, et al. (2006) - "Renal replacement therapy in patients with acute kidney injury: impact of the RIFLE classification on dialysis practice patterns." This study examines the impact of AKI classification on the practice of renal replacement therapy.
-
Uchino S, et al. (2005) - "Acute renal failure in critically ill patients: a multinational, multicenter study." This study provides data on the prevalence and outcomes of AKI in critically ill patients across different countries.
For the most current and specific data, you may want to search databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, or the Cochrane Library for recent articles and reviews on the topic. It's also important to note that the prevalence of AKI can change over time due to various factors, including changes in healthcare practices, population demographics, and the development of new diagnostic tools.
