Overview

Diagnostic Criteria

Consensus criteria[1][2] for the diagnosis of ARF are:

  • Risk: serum creatinine increased 1.5 times OR urine production of <0.5 ml/kg body weight for 6 hours
  • Injury: creatinine 2.0 times OR urine production <0.5 ml/kg for 12 h
  • Failure: creatinine 3.0 times OR creatinine >355 μmol/l (with a rise of >44) or urine output below 0.3 ml/kg for 24 h
  • Loss: persistent ARF or more than four weeks complete loss of kidney function
