Frequently asked questions
pRIFLE – acute kidney injury in children: What does this calculator compute?
Classifies acute kidney injury according to pRIFLE: decrease in estimated creatinine clearance relative to baseline (≥ 25 % Risk, ≥ 50 % Injury, ≥ 75 % or < 35 ml/min/1.73 m² Failure) and urine output (< 0.5 ml/kg/h over 8 or 16 h, < 0.3 ml/kg/h over 24 h or anuria 12 h); the more severe level applies.
