Table 1 Staging of acute kidney injury for adults according to KDIGO

From: Early-phase cumulative hypotension duration and severe-stage progression in oliguric acute kidney injury with and without sepsis: an observational study

Staging

Serum creatinine

Urine output

Stage 1

1.5–1.9 times baseline, or ​≥0.3 mg/dL (≥26.5 μmol/L) increase

<0.5 mL/kg/h for 6–12 ha

Stage 2

2.0–2.9 times baseline

<0.5 mL/kg/h for ≥12 h

Stage 3

3.0 times baseline, or

increase in serum creatinine to ≥4.0 mg/dL (≥353.6 μmol/L), or initiation of renal replacement therapy

<0.3 mL/kg/h for ≥24 hb, or anuria for ≥12 hb

  1. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is defined as any of the following: (1) increase in serum creatinine by ≥0.3 mg/dL (≥26.5 μmol/L) within 48 h; (2) increase in serum creatinine by ≥1.5 times baseline, which is known or presumed to have occurred within the prior 7 days; (3) urine output <0.5 mL/kg/h for 6 h. AKI was diagnosed according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO). aDefinition of stage-1 oliguric AKI in this study. bDefinition of stage-3 oliguric AKI (progression to oligoanuria and use of renal replacement therapy) in this study
