LONG TERM SEQUELAE OF ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY: IDENTIFYING THE OPTIMAL MODEL OF CARE AND INTERVENTION TO ENHANCE PATIENT OUTCOME

Abstract

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with significant morbidity, mortality and health care costs. It is increasingly recognised as a key driver of progressive kidney disease, and no intervention has been shown to improve the long-term outcome of AKI survivors. This project identifies risk factors for chronic kidney disease, dialysis dependence and death after an episode of AKI, and examines the feasibility, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness of early nephrology review in high risk individuals.
