Acute kidney disease after acute kidney injury: incidence, risk factors, and association with de novo chronic kidney disease.

Key takeaways

This study followed 23,868 people who had a sudden drop in kidney function. It found that about 46% of them had kidney issues that lasted for weeks. This shows a link between short-term injury and long-term kidney disease, but it is not proof of cause.
