Epidemiology of acute kidney injury (AKI) is supposedly a well-characterized topic. Large population studies developed in the 1990s demonstrated a higher incidence of AKI than previously suspected. More importantly, this incidence was higher among critically ill patients while mortality rates rose dramatically in this setting. In these studies an overall incidence of around five per cent of AKI was found in ICU with an accompanying mortality in over fifty per cent of cases.
