Acute Kidney Injury: Risk Factors and Outlook
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks back at adults who visited certain hospitals in South Korea to understand what leads to acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function) and how it affects recovery. It compares people who had this condition with similar people who did not, to identify risk factors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 20 years old or older.
- You visited one of the four listed hospitals in South Korea between 2006 and 2021.
- You have either been diagnosed with acute kidney injury (sudden kidney function drop) OR you are a similar person without it who can be used as a comparison.
- You do not have end-stage kidney disease and have not had dialysis or a kidney transplant.
- You must have had at least one blood test for creatinine (a waste product in your blood) to check kidney function.

This study looks at acute kidney injury in patients who are very sick in the intensive care unit (ICU). It may help doctors better understand and manage kidney problems in these patients.
This study looks at people with acute (sudden) kidney injury, based on changes in a blood test called creatinine. By tracking these patterns during hospitalization, it may help improve how acute kidney injury is identified and managed.
This study tests whether a simple scoring tool can help doctors predict which ICU patients may develop kidney problems. It may help identify patients at risk early so they can receive closer monitoring.
This study follows hospitalized adults with or without acute kidney injury to learn more about the condition. You may join if you are 18 or older and can give consent.
This study uses a risk score and blood tests to predict which hospitalized patients might develop acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage). If you are at high risk, researchers will follow you closely to see if early detection can help prevent serious kidney problems.
This study helps doctors better assess how well kidneys recover after acute kidney injury (a sudden loss of kidney function during hospitalization). You may be asked to participate in interviews, workshops, or have some medical measurements taken to help improve patient care.
