Summary

KDIGO’s 2012 guideline establishes a unified definition and staging system for acute kidney injury (AKI) by merging RIFLE and AKIN criteria, and provides evidence-graded recommendations for risk assessment, prevention, pharmacologic management, contrast-induced AKI (CI-AKI), and renal replacement therapy (RRT). It emphasizes early recognition, hemodynamic optimization with crystalloids, avoidance of nephrotoxins, and stage-based management. Specific guidance is given for RRT timing, modality, anticoagulation, vascular access, dose, and buffer choice.
