AKI in the hospital: What does this mean for my long term kidney health? As renal fellows, we are always involved in the most severe cases of hospital acquired AKI that require dialysis. Previously on RFN, we examined the impact that these cases have on the long term risk of ESRD. What we often don't see are the less severe cases of hospital acquired AKI that non-nephrologists feel comfortable managing on their own. There is now a growing body of evidence that these cases have long term implications for kidney function.
