From: Four hour creatinine clearance is better than plasma creatinine for monitoring renal function in critically ill patients

Figure 1

Comparison of percentage increase in plasma creatinine (pCr) with percentage decrease in creatinine clearance (CCl) from known baseline to entry into the ICU. Four quadrants are shown: (i) No AKI (ΔpCrNo-AKI and ΔCClNo-AKI), (ii) AKI by the clearance criterion only (ΔpCrNo-AKI and ΔCClAKI), (iii) AKI by the pCr criterion only (ΔpCrAKI and ΔCClNo-AKI) or (iv) AKI by both criteria (ΔpCrAKI and ΔCClAKI). AKI: acute kidney injury; No-AKI (CClNo-AKI): without AKI; ΔpCr: relative change in pCr from baseline; ΔCCl: relative change in CCl from Cockcroft-Gault (CG) baseline; AKI (pCrAKI): with AKI.
