Renal Angina Index (RAI): risk of severe kidney injury in the pediatric intensive care unit
Risk × injury (fall in creatinine clearance or fluid overload) on the day of admission, 1–40 points; from 8 there is a risk of severe AKI on day 3 (Basu 2014)

Frequently asked questions
Renal Angina Index (RAI): risk of severe kidney injury in the pediatric intensive care unit: What does this calculator compute?
The Renal Angina Index (Basu 2014, Kidney International) estimates, in children in intensive care on the day of admission, the risk of severe acute kidney injury (AKI) on day 3. Risk (1, 3 or 5 points) times injury (1, 2, 4 or 8 points, the worse value of fall in creatinine clearance and fluid overload) gives 1–40 points. From 8, renal angina is considered fulfilled. A value below 8 ruled out severe AKI well in 4 cohorts (negative predictive value 92–99 %).
