Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) Status and Class Switching After Fluid Correction
AKI
The figure displays a Sankey diagram visualizing the change in AKI status and AKI class switching after correction for fluid status.After correcting serum creatinine for fluid balance, 124 neonates switched AKI classes. A total of 111 neonates were newly classified as having unveiled AKI, including 104 who went from no AKI to stage 1 AKI, and 7 who went from no AKI to stage 2 or 3 AKI. In 36 neonates, AKI severity increased from stage 1 to stage 2 or 3 AKI. After correcting for fluid balance, 16 neonates had their AKI stage decrease (13 patients went from stage 1 AKI to no AKI and 3 went from stage 2 or 3 AKI to stage 1 AKI). A summary of the shifts in the AKI staging before and after fluid correction is shown in
