Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a complex clinical syndrome of diverse etiology. Even mild CKD has been associated with increased long term morbidity and mortality [1] and a wealth of data exists about its prevention, recognition, treatment and outcome. In contrast, acute kidney injury (AKI) has more recently been classified by consensus [2] and information concerning its true epidemiology and longterm outcomes is evolving.
