Prompt treatment of some causes of azotemia can result in restoration of kidney function; delayed treatment may result in permanent loss of renal function. [ipfs.io]

Each chapter begins with normal function and pathophysiology and quickly moves to clinical conditions and treatment. Numerous illustrations, tables, charts, and graphs make complex subjects understandable. Up-to-date references are also included. [books.google.ro]

Otherwise, predicting prognosis of ARF/AKI from a heterogenous group of patients with renal dysfunction would be problematic. [academic.oup.com]

Postrenal ARF Prognosis The rate of recovery is largely determined by the duration and severity of obstructive disease. In general, the extent of recovery is determined within 7 to 14 days after the obstruction has been removed. [healthcommunities.com]

Although another commonly used test, urine microscopy, can be useful in AKI for both diagnosis ( 4 ) and prognosis ( 5 ), it is operator dependent and requires expertise. [cjasn.asnjournals.org]

The RIFLE and AKIN definitions have been shown by several epidemiological studies to be useful in predicting mortality risk in AKI. These definitions do not, however, distinguish between prerenal, postrenal, or intrarenal causes of injury. [nature.com]
