Abstract
Introduction: Acute kidney injury is a syndrome characterized by the rapid loss of the kidney's excretory function and is typically diagnosed by the accumulation of end products of nitrogen metabolism (urea and creatinine) or decreased urine output, or both. A total of 150 patients of acute kidney injury admitted in tertiary care hospital were studied and were graded into various categories of severity on the basis of RIFLE class. Materials and methods: This study was conducted in the Post Graduate Department of Medicine in GMC Jammu over a period of one year (Nov. 2016 to Oct. 2017). We included adult patients admitted to the tertiary care hospital. All patients aged 18 years and above with AKI and those who will develop AKI after admission during the period of study. Patients with acute kidney injury were classied on the basis of RIFLE classication proposed by acute dialysis quality initiative in 2004 and accordingly severity of illness was graded . Results:According to RIFLE classication of acute kidney injury, out of 150 patients, 35(23.3%) patients were in class risk (R), 50(33.4%) patients in class injury (I) and 65(43.3%) patients in class failure (F).
