Abstract:
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a general term for heterogeneous disorders affecting kidney structure and function.It can be detected by routine laboratory tests.Acute kidney injury ( AKI),previously referred to as acute renal failure(ARF), represents a persistent problem in clinical medicine.Despite significant improvements in therapeutics,the mortality and morbidity associated with AKI remain high.A major reason for this is the lack of markers for early diagnosis of AKI.In this paper,we discuss recommendations for AKI and CKD laboratory assessment and management,and future challenges.( Chin J Lab Med,2012,35:773-779)
