Introduction

Rohul Mahishwari is a second year nephrology fellow at the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. The way that you define an acute kidney injury or AKI is a rise in the serum creatinine of 0.3 milligrams per deciliter or a rise in about 30% from the reported baseline. Rohul: I kind of go in three steps versus the urgency, then the context, and finally thinking about the diagnostic approach.
