Acute kidney injury is a well-known clinical syndrome, but not a definitive diagnosis. It is extremely common, being encountered in 13–18% of all hospital admissions. AKI can be a primary cause of admission, or a consequence of other pathology. It can affect individuals with normal kidney function, but is most common in patients with pre-existing renal impairment or risk factors.
