1ST ASIA PACIFIC AKI CRRT 2017 morbidity and mortality especially in developing countries. Those patients suffering the most severe form of AKI requiring acute dialysis have particularly high rates of adverse outcomes during hospitalization and after discharge. Despite the importance of AKI, there have been relatively few studies about its population epidemiology. Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of dialysis-requiring AKI and identify specific demographic subgroups with increased propensity for dialysis requiring AKI in H. Adam Malik Hospital, Medan in 2016. Methods: We analyzed data from medical record in H. Adam MalikHospital Medan between January 1st and December 31st 2016, to identify cases of dialysis-requiring AKI using validated International Classification of Diseases, Ten Revision (ICD-10) codes.
