Episode 17: Stratifying the Risk of Persistent AKI and Clinical Practice

This is the first episode in KDIGO's new 3-episode series on acute kidney injury (AKI), hosted by Dr. Kathleen Liu (University of California at San Francisco, United States).
In this episode, Dr. Liu is joined by Dr. Jay Koyner (University of Chicago, United States) to discuss the emerging field of persistent acute kidney injury (AKI).

They delve into the question: what exactly is persistent AKI, and how does it differ from severe AKI? Dr. Liu and Dr. Koyner explore the key factors clinicians should consider when evaluating a patient's risk of developing persistent AKI. They also highlight the latest developments in this area of nephrology research, leaving listeners with valuable insights into the diagnosis and management of persistent AKI.

Join us as we discuss:

• What is persistent AKI, and how is it distinguished from severe AKI?

• What clinical factors should be considered when assessing a patient's risk of persistent AKI?

• What are some of the new developments in the field of persistent AKI research?

• How can this knowledge be applied to improve patient care?
