ABSTRACT
Acute kidney injury(AKI)refers to a clinical syndrome in which the glomerular filtration rate decreases sharply in a short period of time due to various causes.Since elderly patients often have low renal functional reserve, complex underlying diseases, frequent acute events and various types of drug combinations, the incidence of AKI in elderly patients is significantly higher than that in the general population and trends upward each year.The prevention and treatment of elderly AKI should place an emphasis on the identification of risk factors and early diagnosis.There is considerable controversy over whether the existing real-world diagnostic criteria are clinically practical and appropriate.The application of novel diagnostic biomarkers for the diagnosis of AKI in the elderly population remains to be justified.This paper reviews considerations on the diagnostic criteria for AKI in the elderly and the clinical application of new biomarkers, in order to arrive at improved diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
