The definition of AKI introduced by the Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) was used without modifications for the purpose of this review. Using this definition, AKI entails an abrupt (within 48 hours) decrease in kidney function with an absolute increase in serum creatinine level ≥ 0.3 mg/dL or a percentage of increase in serum creatinine level ≥ 50% (1.5-fold from baseline) or a decrease
Abadeer et al. have previously demonstrated severe AKI (stage 3) as a predictor of long-term mortality (HR, 1.54; CI 1.10–2.14; p = 0.011) in patients with short-term MCS for CS . In prior work from our group, patients with CS and AKI-HD tended to have higher comorbidity burdens and were also more likely to receive MCS devices compared with

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common presentation to both inpatient and outpatient medical services and is defined as an increase in serum creatinine by ≥0.3 mg/dL (≥26.5 µmol/L) within 48 h, or ≥1.5 times baseline within the prior 7 days, or urine volume
Hyperkalemia is defined as a serum or plasma potassium level above the upper limits of normal, usually greater than 5.0 mEq/L to 5.5 mEq/L. While mild hyperkalemia is usually asymptomatic, high potassium levels may cause life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, muscle weakness, or paralysis. Symptoms usually develop at higher levels, 6.5 mEq/L to 7 mEq/L, but the rate of change is more important
