Our study validates the subclassification of stage 1 AKI. Patients with AKI 1B more often progress to higher AKI stages with significantly lower 28-day and 90-day survival rates. Results justify subclassification and suggest the need for early intervention. The small increase in SCr should be viewed with caution in AKI stage 1A.
