Acute kidney injury: late-onset acute kidney injury-subacute or more of the same?
Fujii and colleagues define 'subacute' kidney injury (s-AKI) as AKI that takes >7 days to develop, timed from admission or lowest creatinine measurement after admission. Although s-AKI is unlikely to be a distinct syndrome from AKI, the association with increased mortality highlights the need to monitor patient creatinine levels.
