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.enMedicineAcute kidney injuryIntensive care medicineCreatininePresentation (obstetrics)KidneyEmergency medicinearticle
