Abstract

A pre-morbid 'baseline' creatinine is required in order to diagnose and stage acute kidney injury (AKI) using the RIFLE classification. Estimation of baseline creatinine by solving the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation assuming a glomerular filtration rate of 75 ml/min/1.73 m(2) has been widely used but never validated.
