Biomarkers of AKI that can predict which patients will develop severe renal disease at the time of diagnosis will facilitate timely intervention in populations at risk of adverse outcomes. ⋯ Elevated uAnCR is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with AKI. These data are the first to demonstrate the utility of angiotensinogen as a prognostic biomarker of AKI after cardiac surgery.

Association between AKI, recovery of renal function, and long-term outcomes after hospital discharge.
This study aimed to determine if recovery of kidney function after AKI modifies the association between AKI during hospitalization and adverse outcomes after discharge. ⋯ Renal recovery after AKI is associated with a lower risk of death or adverse renal outcomes after hospital discharge.
