    POS-017 CAUSES OF ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY IN THE COMMUNITY SETTING: THE ISN KIDNEY CARE NETWORK PROJECT
    (Elsevier BV, 2021) Rhys Evans; Sanjib Kumar Sharma; Rolando Claure‐Del Granado; Brett Cullis; Emmanuel A. Burdmann; K. Hendricks; David C.H. Harris; Michael V. Rocco
    Community-acquired acute kidney injury (AKI) is common, but often unrecognized in resource-constrained settings. Limited lab assessments and lack of information on the prior state of kidney health contribute to this lack of recognition. In this study, we evaluated the cause of AKI in patients in whom AKI was suspected and then verified at initial presentation with point-of-care (POC) serum creatinine (sCr) testing.

    SAT-173 RISK FACTORS AND DEFINITION OF KIDNEY DYSFUNCTION IN THE COMMUNITY SETTING: THE ISN 0BY25 INITIATIVE
    (Elsevier BV, 2019) Etienne Macedo; Suvasini Sharma; Ulla Hemmilä; Rolando Claure‐Del Granado; Emmanuel A. Burdmann; Jorge Cerdá; Michael V. Rocco; Ravindra L. Mehta
    Community-acquired acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) is common, but often unrecognized in resource- constrained settings. Risk factors for CA-AKI development have not been well studied in Low and Lower-Middle Income Countries (LLMIC). A key limitation is the heterogeneity of diseases and a lack of a standardized approach to evaluating renal dysfunction. Limited lab assessments and lack of information on the prior state of kidney health contribute to this lack of recognition. In this study, we evaluated the risk factors associated with acute kidney disease (AKD) and the efficacy of point of care (POC) serum creatinine (sCr) and urine dipstick tests to identify patients with kidney dysfunction at presentation to community health centers (CHC) and emergency departments (ED), as part of the International Society of Nephrology (ISN) 0by25 Pilot Feasibility Project.
