AKI occurred in more than half of the admissions to the clinical emergency department of the hospital and was equally distributed between C-AKI and H-AKI. Many patients had correctable risk factors for AKI, such as dehydration and arterial hypotension (44%) at admission. The only independent risk factor for both C-AKI and H-AKI was CKD as comorbidity.
