Acute renal failure as defined by the KDIGO (Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes) AKI (Acute Kidney Injury) criteria. In brief, a patient can meet these criteria if their serum creatinine increases (for example, serum creatinine increases to 1.5x or higher of baseline serum creatinine, or if it crosses 4mg/dL), or if renal replacement therapy is initiated, or if urine output decreases (for example, \<0.5ml/kg/hour for 6-12 hours) or if patient becomes anuric (no urine production).
