| description | Acute kidney injury (AKI) is increasingly common around the world. Given the low availability of effective therapies and resource limitations, early preventive and therapeutic measures are essential to decrease morbidity, mortality and cost. Timely AKI recognition and diagnosis requires a heightened degree of suspicion in the appropriate clinical and environmental context. In low and middle income countries (LMIC), early detection is impaired by limited resources and low awareness. In this article, we report the consensus recommendations of the 18th Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative meeting in Hyderabad, India, on how to improve recognition of AKI. We expect these recommendations will lead to an earlier and more accurate AKI diagnosis, and improved research to promote a better understanding of the epidemiology, etiology and histopathology of AKI in LMIC. |
