A patient's serum creatinine rises from 1.01.0 mg/dL to 1.31.3 mg/dL over 4848 hours, while urine output remains unchanged. Does this meet a KDIGO criterion for AKI?

  1. A

    Yes; the creatinine rise meets a KDIGO criterion.

  2. B

    No; AKI requires reduced urine output as well as a creatinine rise.

  3. C

    No; a rise of this size only qualifies if it occurs within 77 days.
