Acute Kidney Injury Disease Understanding

Acute Kidney Injury Overview

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), also known as acute renal failure (ARF) is a condition characterized by azotemia that progresses over several hours or days, with or without oliguria. AKI is commonly defined as an abrupt decline in renal function, clinically manifesting as a reversible acute increase in nitrogen waste products measured by blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine levels over the course of hours to weeks. The disease leads to abrupt loss of kidney function, leading to the retention of waste products, electrolyte disturbances, and volume status changes. According to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO), AKI is defined as any of the following (not graded):

• Increase in serum creatinine (SCr) by = 0.3 mg/dl (= 26.5 µmol/l) within 48 hours.
• Increase in SCr to = 1.5 times baseline, which is known or presumed to have occurred within the prior 7 days.
• Urine volume < 0.5 ml/kg/hour for 6 hours.

In 1802, William Heberden termed the first description of AFR, Ischuria renalis. At the beginning of the twentieth century, ARF termed as Acute Bright’s disease was described in William Osler’s Textbook for Medicine (1909), to be “as a consequence of toxic agents, pregnancy, burns, trauma or operations on the kidneys”. During the First World War, the syndrome was named war nephritis and was reported in several publications. The syndrome was forgotten until the Second World War when Bywaters and Beall published their classical paper on crush syndrome. Acute tubular necrosis (ATN) was the term that was used to describe this clinical entity, because of histological evidence for patchy necrosis of renal tubules at autopsy. For many years in clinical practice, the terms ATN and ARF were used interchangeably. However, it is Homer W. Smith who is credited with the introduction of the term AKI, in a chapter on AKI related to traumatic injuries in his 1951 textbook. The kidney-structure and function in health and disease. Until recently, a precise biochemical definition for ARF was missing. As a consequence, there was no consensus on the diagnostic criteria, resulting in multiple different definitions. A 2002 survey revealed at least 35 definitions in the scientific literature.

Acute Kidney Injury Epidemiology

The disease epidemiology covered in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by Total Incident Population of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in Hospitalized Patients, Mortality Adjusted Incident Population of AKI in Hospitalized Patients, Stage-specific Incident Population of AKI, and Age-specific Incident Population of AKI in the United States, EU5 countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and United Kingdom), and Japan.

Key Findings

This section provides glimpse of the AKI epidemiology in the 7MM.

• In 2020, the incident population of AKI in the 7MM was 10,907,615. The mortality adjusted incident population of AKI in hospitalized patients in the seven major market, was estimated to be 6,544,569 in 2020.
• The United States encompasses the highest incident population of AKI in hospitalized patients, compared to EU5 and Japan. In the United States, mortality adjusted incident population of AKI in hospitalized patients accounted for 2,231,147 in 2020.
• In 2020, in the United States, there were 1,584,114, 401,606, and 245,426 cases of stage I, stage II, and stage III AKI respectively.
• In the US, the age group of 60–84 accounted for the highest cases in 2020, followed by 85+ years. In contrast, the least cases were found in the age group of 18–59. In 2020, there were 312,361, 1,004,016, and 914,770 cases, for the age groups 18–59 years, 60–84 years, and 85+ years, respectively.
• Epidemiology assessed for AKI showed that Germany accounted for the highest mortality-adjusted incident population of AKI in hospitalized patients in EU5, followed by the UK in 2020. The number of total mortality adjusted incidence of AKI in hospitalized patients is anticipated to be 906,731, 544,235, 506,725, 235,769 and 796,443 in 2020, for Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and UK, respectively.
• Epidemiology assessed for AKI showed that Japan, in 2020, accounted for the second-highest mortality-adjusted incident population of AKI in hospitalized patients in 7MM, about 1,323,519 cases.
