    Author: Khalil P, Murty P, Palevsky PM.
    Journal: Prim Care; 2008 Jun; 35(2):239-64, vi. PubMed ID: 18486715.
    Abstract:
    During the past half decade there has been a paradigm shift in the view of acute kidney disease that has resulted in a change in nomenclature from the older term, "acute renal failure," to "acute kidney injury" (AKI). This article reviews the new criteria for diagnosis and staging of AKI and summarizes the current understanding of the many causes of AKI and the approach to diagnosis and management.
