Overview

Over 30 different definitions of AKI have been used in the literature since it was first described. The first consensus definition described and the most used definition is known as the RIFLE criteria. The acronym combines a classification of 3 levels of renal dysfunction (Risk, Injury, Failure) with 2 clinical outcomes (Loss, ESRD) to give the RIFLE stages of AKI.

Definition

Over 30 different definitions of AKI have been used in the literature since it was first described, which prompted the need for a uniform definition. In 2004, The Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative (ADQI) proposed the first consensus definition known as the RIFLE criteria. The acronym combines a classification of 3 levels of renal dysfunction (Risk, Injury, Failure) with 2 clinical outcomes (Loss, ESRD). This unified classification was proposed to enable a viable comparison in trials of prevention and therapy and to observe clinical outcomes of the defined stages of AKI. [1]

Proposed classification scheme for acute kidney injury (RIFLE) according to the Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative.
CLASSIFICATION GFR CRITERIA URINE OUTPUT CRITERIA
Risk 1.5x increase in SCr or GFR decrease >25% <0.5 mL/kg/h for 6 hours
Injury 2x increase in SCr or GFR decrease >50% <0.5 mL/kg/h for 12 hours
Failure 3x increase in SCr or GFR decrease >75% <0.3 mL/kg/h for 24 hours or anuria for 12 hours
Loss Complete loss of renal function >4 weeks
End Stage Renal Disease Complete loss of renal function >3 months

In 2007, the Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) proposed modified diagnostic criteria based on the RIFLE criteria. AKI was defined as an acute increase in the serum creatinine of ≥0.3 mg/dL from baseline within 48 hours, a 50% increase in the serum creatinine concentration, or oliguria <0.5 mL/kg/h for 6 hours (following volume status optimization). The staging criteria retained the Risk, Injury, & Failure stages from the RIFLE criteria, with modifications related to serum creatinine increase. [2]

Modified RIFLE classification scheme for acute kidney injury according to the Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN)
CLASSIFICATION SERUM CREATININE CRITERIA URINE OUTPUT CRITERIA
Stage 1 Increase in SCr ≥0.3 mg/dL or 1.5x to 2x increase from baseline <0.5 mL/kg/h for 6 hours
Stage 2 2x to 3x increase in SCr from baseline <0.5 mL/kg/h for 12 hours
Stage 3 >3x increase in SCr or SCr≥ 4.0 mg/dL with acute increase >0.5 mg/dL <0.3 mL/kg/h for 24 hours or anuria for 12 hours

In March 2012, the Kidney Disease – Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Clinical Practice Guidelines for Acute Kidney Injury retained the AKIN staging criteria while implementing modifications to the definition of AKI. AKI was defined as either an increase in serum creatinine by 50% in 7 days, an increase in serum creatinine by 0.3 mg/dL in 2 days, or anuria for more than 12 hours. [3]
