The Daily Burden of Acute Kidney Injury: A Survey of US Nephrologists on World Kidney Day

This is the first physician survey examining the care of patients and impact of AKI on current in-hospital and ambulatory nephrology practices.

Furthermore, our findings point to significant areas in which improvement is needed, including inadequate quantification of dialysis delivered dose. Finally, our survey highlights that AKI is a major public health issue.
