Biomarkers During Recovery From AKI and Prediction of Long-term Reductions in Estimated GFR.

Rationale & Objective: The effects of acute kidney injury (AKI) on long-term kidney function, cardiovascular disease, and mortality are well documented. We aimed to identify biomarkers for the estimation of risk of new or worsening chronic kidney disease (CKD) following AKI.

Study Design: Prospective cohort study.
