Introduction: In patients with chronic kidney disease stages 4 and 5 (CKD stages 4-5) without dialysis and arterial hypertension, it is unknown if the values of systolic blood pressure (SBP) considered in control (<120 mm Hg) are associated with kidney replacement therapy (KRT) and mortality.

Background: The association between potassium (sK) level trajectory and mortality or the need for kidney replacement therapy (KRT) during acute kidney injury (AKI) has not been adequately explored.

Methods: In this prospective cohort, AKI patients admitted to the Hospital Civil de Guadalajara were enrolled. Eight groups based on the sK (mEq/L) level trajectories during 10 days of hospitalization were created (1) normokalemia (normoK), defined as sK between 3.
