- Better delineation of risk for hospital- and communityacquired AKI is needed.
- Better delineation of the effects of age on the risk for AKI is needed.
- Studies are needed to develop and validate scoring systems for AKI risk prediction in various settings, in addition to cardiac surgery and exposure to radiocontrast material.
- Genome-wide association studies are needed to determine risk of AKI in different hospital settings and with respect to long-term outcomes.
- Studies are needed on risk factors for the development of, recovery from, and long-term outcomes of communityacquired AKI, including sepsis, trauma, tropical infections, snake bites, and ingestion of toxic plants, etc.
