A real-world prospective study on dialysis-requiring acute kidney injury.

Our study adds robust information about the real-world epidemiology of dialysis-requiring AKI with considerable clinical detail. AKI is a heterogeneous syndrome with variable clinical presentations and outcomes, including differences in the age of presentation, comorbidities, frailty state, precipitation causes, and associated diseases. In the cohort studied, AKI characteristics bore more similarities to upper-income countries as opposed to the pattern traditionally associated with resource-limited economies.
