Acute kidney injury (AKI) in England - a report on the nationwide collection of AKI warning test scores from 2022

This report is the follow-up of the first England-wide report of Acute Kidney Injury using 2018 cases and published in 2020.

In this latest report, we are presenting data on people who had an AKI warning test score during 2022 and have published this at the end of 2023.

Compared to 2020, there is now significantly better coverage of the England population - with all but 4 laboratories out of 192 in England sending some data to the UK Renal Registry.

This allows us to be much more confident in the population rate of AKI with fewer assumptions and adjustments necessary to estimate the population covered.

The most up-to-date information on AKI rates by Integrated Care Board is always available via the UKKA data portal and these are regularly refreshed.
