Recovery after Acute Kidney Injury
atsjournals.orgLittle is known about how acute kidney injury (AKI) resolves, and whether patterns of reversal of renal dysfunction differ among patients with respect to ultimate recovery. We have identified five distinct recovery phenotypes on the basis of the clinical course over the first week after AKI manifestation. These phenotypes may identify patients amenable to therapeutic intervention. Long-term outcomes are associated with recovery status at hospital discharge.
