AB Acute  kidney  injury  (AKI)  is  the  deterioration  of  renal  function  over  hours  or  days,  resulting  in  the  accumulation  of  toxic  wastes  and  the  loss  of  internal  homeostasis.  Definitions  based  on  renal  function  are  listed  in  Table  88-11-4;  AKI  is  classified  using  the  Risk,  Injury,  Failure,  Loss,  and  End-Stage  Renal  Failure  (RIFLE),2  the  Acute  Kidney  Injury  Network  (AKIN),3  and  the  Kidney  Disease:  Improving  Global  Outcomes  (KDIGO)4  classifications.  These  definitions  assume  that  renal  function  has  reached  a  steady  state,  which  limits  their  applicability  to  ED  patients  with  AKI  whose  renal  function  may  be  deteriorating.
