Acute kidney injury (AKI) in England - a report on the nationwide collection of AKI warning test scores from 2023

This is the third England-wide report of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), following the previous publication last year. In this latest report, we are presenting data on people who had an AKI warning test score during 2023 and have published this at the end of 2024.

Compared to our report on 2022 data, there is now significantly better coverage of the England population with 90% of laboratories providing a full 12 months of data. 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.
