Summary

This is an observational study that will examine the possibility of determining the type of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) using bedside ultrasound machines.

Detailed description

The investigators hypothesize that different types of AKI (pre-renal, renal, and post-renal) are associated with different inferior vena cava diameters and collapsibility index. The investigators will include subjects ages 18-89 years with AKI (creatinine of 2mg/100ml or higher for less than 24 hours from baseline creatinine ≤1.2 or with unknown baseline creatinine). Standard of care treatment will not be different for patients taking part in this study. Participants will have bedside ultrasounds on days 0, 1, and 3, and baseline and follow-up data will be collected from medical records.
