From: Changes in serum creatinine in the first 24 hours after cardiac arrest indicate prognosis: an observational cohort study

Stage

Serum creatinine criteria

Urine output criteria

1

Increase in serum creatinine of more than or equal to 0.3 mg/dl (≥ 26.4 μmol/l) or increase to more than or equal to 150% to 200% (1.5 to 2-fold) from baseline

Less than 0.5 ml/kg per hour for more than 6 hours

2

Increase in serum creatinine to more than 200% to 300% (> 2 to 3-fold) from baseline

Less than 0.5 ml/kg per hour for more than 12 hours

3

Increase in serum creatinine to more than 300% (> 3-fold) from baseline (or serum creatinine of more than or equal to 4.0 mg/dl (≥ 354 μmol/l) with an acute increase of at least 0.5 mg/dl (44 μmol/l))

Less than 0.3 ml/kg per hour for 24 hours or anuria for 12 hours

  1. Classification/staging system for acute kidney injury as provided by Mehta and colleagues [3]. Individuals who receive renal replacement therapy are considered to have met the criteria for stage 3 irrespective of the stage they are in at the time of renal replacement therapy.
