According to the data presented, a single measure of creatinine is not enough, and there is a need for meticulous follow-up of the renal function of patients with hepatic cirrhosis hospitalized in an emergency unit. In addition, this study reinforces the need for subclassification of KDIGO 1 in cirrhotic patients, since patients with acute renal injury and creatinine greater than 1.5 mg/dL present a worse clinical outcome.
