Setting the stage for acute-on-chronic kidney injury

J W Dear et al. Kidney Int. 2008 Jul.

Abstract

Acute-on-chronic kidney disease will be familiar to many nephrologists. Hsu et al. quantify the risk of acute-on-chronic disease across the stages of preexisting chronic kidney disease. Their study demonstrates the valuable insights that large epidemiological studies can bring to the field of acute kidney injury.
