Criteria

Risk (R)

Increased creatinine level Ă— 1.5 or GFR decrease >25%

Injury (I)

Increased creatinine level Ă— 2 or GFR decrease >50%

Failure (F)

Increased creatinine level Ă— 3, GFR decrease >75% or creatinine level >4 mg/dL

Loss (L)

Persistent acute renal failure or complete loss of function for >4 weeks

ESKD (E)
