Value of the RIFLE classification for acute kidney injury in diffuse proliferative lupus nephritis

Abstract

The RIFLE classification is predictive of progression and short-term prognosis of AKI in diffuse proliferative lupus nephritis.

Acute Kidney Injury in Adult Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome

“…10,11 Successive increases in severity of RIFLE category were associated with higher mortality in critically ill patients and the RIFLE classification was useful for predicting full recovery of renal function. [12][13][14][15][16][17] In this study, there was no significant difference of recovery rate and the mean time to recovery among AKI-R, AKI-I, and AKI-F groups, although there was a tendency that it took longer time to recovery in more severe AKI patients. Further analysis showed that renal function recovery was affected mainly by immunosuppressive therapies.…”

Acute kidney injury in Chinese patients with lupus nephritis: a large cohort study from a single center

“…In lupus nephritis, a considerable proportion of patients present with AKI. 15 However, currently, there is a lack of detailed description of lupus nephritis patients complicated with AKI, including clinicopathological features and renal outcome of long-term follow up, especially after the new ISN/ RPS classification of lupus nephritis was proposed.…”

Renal Dysfunction on Admission, Worsening Renal Function, and Severity of Acute Kidney Injury Predict 2-Year Mortality in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction

“…44, 45 The incidence of progressive to chronic kidney disease was proportional to AKI severity by RIFLE classification. 46, 47 In addition, AKI will directly contribute to distant organ dysfunction through the mechanism of oxidative stress, immunity and inflammation. 15,48-50 This means AKI severity by RIFLE classification represents not only kidney damage but also imbalance between the kidney and other organ systems.…”
