Table 1 Classification of acute kidney injury by RIFLE, AKIN and KIDGO criteria[12, 28, 36]

From: Perioperative acute kidney injury

Stage

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) criteria

Urine output criteria

RIFLE classification

  

Risk

Serum creatinine increased x 1.5 or GFR decrease >25%

<0.5 ml/kg/hr for ≥ 6 hours

Injury

Serum creatinine increased x 2 or GFR decrease >50%

<0.5 ml/kg/hr for ≥ 12 hours

Failure

Serum creatinine increased x 3 or GFR decrease ≥ 75% or an absolute serum creatinine ≥ 354 μmol/L with an acute rise ≥ 4 μmol/L

<0.3 ml/kg/hr for ≥ 24 hours or anuria for ≥12 hours

Loss

Persistent AKI, requiring RRT for > 4 weeks

 

End-stage kidney disease

Requiring dialysis > 3 months

 

AKIN classification

  

Stage 1

Serum creatinine increased ≥26.2 μmol/L or x 0.5 to 2 baseline

<0.5 ml/kg/hr for ≥ 6hours

Stage 2

Serum creatinine increased x 2 to 3 baseline

<0.5 ml/kg/hr for ≥ 12 hours

Stage 3

Serum creatinine increased > x 3 baseline or serum creatinine ≥ 354 μmol/L with an acute rise ≥ 44 μmol/L or initiation of RRT

<0.3 ml/kg/hr for ≥ 24 hours or anuria for ≥12 hours

KDIGO classification

  

Stage 1

Serum creatinine increased x 1.5 to 1.9 baseline or by ≥ 26.2 μmol/L

<0.5 ml/kg/hr for 6 to 12 hours

Stage 2

Serum creatinine increased x 2 to 2.9 baseline

<0.5 ml/kg/hr for ≥ 12 hours

Stage 3

Serum creatinine increased > x 3 baseline or serum creatinine ≥ 354 μmol/L with an acute rise ≥ 44 μmol/L or initiation of RRT

<0.3 ml/kg/hr for ≥ 24 hours or anuria for ≥12 hours
