The outcome of Acute Kidney Injury in patients with severe Malaria
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Nephrology - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1

The purpose of this study was to assess the incidence of AKI in a large population of hospitalized patients with a primary admission diagnosis of malaria, and to investigate the robustness of the KDIGO criteria for predicting the need for dialysis, length of hospital stay and hospital mortality.
